I contacted Jim Saddler with AcuVac regarding rental rates on his SVE
equipment (S.A.V.E. systems). He indicated that rental on a single unit would be $5000 per month and rental on two units would be $4000-$4500 per unit per month. I also contacted Baker Furnace regarding rental of comparable SVE equipment and they indicated that rental would be $3000 per month. In light of this, I suggest we establish a rental rate for the TW units, as is, at $2500 per unit per month. I also discussed costs associated with refurbishing old units with John Sachs at Baker Furnace. John indicated that they have already replaced the old Baker Fax telemetry systems with Sensaphone 2000 systems on several used units. He also indicated the various options they have for silencing the units. It can be done, but apparently, adding silencers to the blower is not a simple modification. We are set up to move the units to Midland next week, but I think we should strongly consider shipping the units back to Baker Furnace for these modifications. John indicated that they could turn them around in about two weeks. Allowing for shipping time, this would place the units back in Midland around June 20th (a more realistic date would be June 30th). A rough cost estimate is $18000 ($7000 per unit plus $4000 shipping). I believe this would save both time and cost compared to trying to do the modifications in Midland. We would also end up with "good as new" units. As a compromise between EOTT and TW, if EOTT would pick up the costs for the refurbishing then TW could lower the rental rate to something on the order of $2000 per unit per month.
