Engineering management charge |
This covers the cost of Engineering management for 16 weeks (640hrs at $150/hr) |
Outside labor cost |
this covers the labor cost of two electricians for 12 weeks (960hours @$123.89/hr) |
Hancock non dormant charges |
Switching to Hancock site for more than 24 hours/month triggers a rent increase. We anticipate 5 months of $21,746.22/month increase due to repack overnight work at Willis |
