Graham Introduction: Meeting was a direct follow-up on the previous session on July 11, At that time, original proposals for track and -unloading dock revisions in the south plot VCM area were reviewed and re-*evaluated., The Manufacturing department now stipulates that capital expenditure must be restricted to only current production demands* Conclusions: Considerable curtailment of capital expenditure has been achieved by the following: 1, It will not be necessary to install a parallel track adjacent to warehouse Failding 99* The contractor has indicated it 'would fee possible to progressively up-grade the underlying bailast^a-section-at-a-time,- while wo maintain normal south-plot rail handling operations. t 'Extension of the north spur adjacent to Building 84 will involve regrading of the bank and applying black-top on ihs sloped surface. The existing guy wire support for the burning stack will be relocated, 3. Extension of siding does not incur any material, aggravation of the burning stack-toTMim1.oafiir*g`*poini' proximity has arch nm TAA/% A S'r\ o Plant Engineering has ascertained that the rurpltu 7CM recovery ontsressor from Bull ding 88 is reusable for replacing the smaller yum pump house unit. This will he necessary only when vinyl production exceeds the present 80 million pounds per year capacity. This Board will establish requirements which will become necessary at that time and prepare a capital requirement forecast. Soimma'*r>>y* 1. This project 'will proceed on the basis that the current dock design is acceptable for interim king-size and regular car operation. A AFE in the $13000 range will be prepared,. As previously indicated, it probably will be necessary to make eoppressor- changes t-o meet the forecasted demand sometime before the'end of the second Quarter of 1962* Justification for this additional money is being developed by the manufacturing department. Unuil detailed estimation can be carried out, best approximation of reconditioning and installation costs is $10,000, rogram On July 2ond ^ ese proposals will be reviewed with the Railroad to resolve any installation details requiring further attention Manufacturing will expedite decision on PAPE which is scheduled to be August 1. Plant Engineering and Division Engineering will Jointly proceed to determine the design details and capital cost estimation for 'reuse of the surplus 7CM compressor as part of future program. pcvnn"M3
