5, This information is forwarded at this time for two reasons: (1) to
alert you regarding the site problem, and (2) to inform you that the required
redesign of the vibration mounts and main frame could (but probably will not)
result in a cost overrun on this contract.
6. With regards to the first item, the site preparation, there currently
only appear to be two alternatives-(3) to find an alternate site on the first
floor (whether or not this is desirable is essentially between the Support Staff
and TID); and (2) make an attempt at completely redesigning the instrument to
fit the 2nd floor parameters. This option would most likely require TID's
