Since this is a standing spend approval, our finances will vary throughout the years as we try to maintain stock. Here's the site work review for summer 2018:<br><br>1) The Larch Mtn deploy is paid for and mostly completed.<br>2) The Haystack Mtn deploy is paid for, and will be completed July 7th.<br>3) The SnoDEM repair + upgrade work was paid by SnoDEM, and we have another day left in executing that.<br>4) The Lookout Mtn deploy will hopefully happen end of next week, and that should run about $3k.<br>5) We have potential deploy costs with Buck Mtn, which I'd estimate at $2k. <b>Kenny's covering part of that out of pocket. Thanks Kenny!</b><br>6) We have potential deploy costs with Blyn Mtn, which I'd estimate at $3k, sight unseen.<br>7) We have repair work @ Gold Mtn (S3 dead) which I'd estimate at $100. The DC power system and rack upgrade there is already paid for, but not installed yet.<br><br>If we're really lucky, we'll get to execute all these goals this summer. Having a site of inventory will help us schedule all that work too.<br><br>--Bart<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 6/27/2018 7:35 PM, Rob Salsgiver wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><pre>Where are we at for finances with respect to this and currently expected deployments this summer?<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Rob<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>-----Original Message-----<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>From: PSDR [<a href="mailto:psdr-bounces@hamwan.org">mailto:psdr-bounces@hamwan.org</a>] On Behalf Of Bart Kus<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2018 4:01 PM<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>To: Puget Sound Data Ring<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Subject: [HamWAN PSDR] VOTE: Standing purchase order to keep whole cell site in stock at all times<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>Hello,<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>This is a vote for a standing purchase approval to keep a whole cell <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>site in stock at all times for low-latency HamWAN deployment + repair <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>work.
