- 13 working days
- Install five catch basins and 1,500 feet of 30” diameter pipe

- 15 double bottom dumps per day

Challenges
- Fourth quarter work with weather issues lurking
- Tight window—only two weeks to complete 425,000 square feet of underground, rock, and paving (normally this scope would take four weeks or longer to complete)
- We bailed them out on the underground and grading because they were going to self-perform and could not meet their own schedule
- Job was bid competitively with incredibly tight profit margins. We could not have afforded a single mistake—and we made none.
