9-03-2002 2:52AM FROM KIL ARCHITECTURE 219 288 2654 P.3 <br />SEP -3-8008 11:51A FROM:MASONRY CONTRACTORS 2192734075 TO: 2898420 P=3/3 <br />y \ Z have estimated the total cost to reconstruct the Entrance Archway at $70,000.00 this <br />would include salvaging the necessary pieces of terra cotta and using new brick. The <br />existing brick on site would be far too costly to salvage, clean and reuse. New brick that <br />closely matches the existing is readily available from local suppliers. <br />Bid Packages <br />It is my opinion that the demolition and salvaging packages be offered separately. The <br />terra cotta salvaging operation will require knowledgeable personnel who have worked <br />with the material and understand it's installation and anchorage systems. A careful and <br />considerate approach will be needed to salvage suitable pieces for reuse. <br />The idea of removing some examples the terra cotta is in my opinion appropriate. The <br />cost of new terra cotta is astronomical. For instance, the cost to create one new piece <br />marked "B" would be approximately $15,000.00. or more. Mold costs run approximately <br />$1,000.00 per piece and most of the examples to be salvaged would require a dozen or <br />more molds to recreate since each example is constructed of multiple pieces. <br />As for a market for the existing pieces, I know there is one, but further investigation is <br />needed to find out as to what the market is bringing for salvaged terra cotta. <br />Also, our labor rate per man hour is $65.00/hr. The man lift rate is approximately <br />$150.00 per day. Transporting salvaged pieces to another site with a forklift would <br />amount to approximately $1,500.00. <br />I hope that this helps you in your efforts and if you have any further questions please call <br />at anytime. <br />Respectfully, <br />Steven P.
