Adamson Industrial Engineer Union Pacific Railroad Company Sixth and Olive Streets Los Angeles 14-, California Dear Mr. Adamson: Re: Water Supply System for Las Vegas, Nevada - Preliminary Estimate In accordance with your recent request, we have made a preliminary estimate of the cost of a water supply system to deliver 26 mgd from Lake Mead to Las Vegas and vicinity. Three copies of the estimate are attached. The estimate is based, in part, upon information and experience we acquired in designing and supervising the construction and operation of the water supply system for the Basic Magnesium Project at Henderson, Nevada. We have applied present day prices and unit costs for material and equipment. Also, prevailing labor costs have been taken into account. If we can be of further assistance in connection with the proposed project, do not hesitate in calling upon us. Very truly yours J. M. MONTGOMERY & CO., INC. A
