Other Needs/Comments

            Baeuerle – ATD will bring tables and chairs for ATD and NRL set-up.

Jorgensen – What office equipment will be supplied? How will the network be configured? Will we need to supply a hub or network cabling?

Dowell – Hands-free headsets for the phones would be quite helpful. The GBOS coordinator will need 2 additional desktop systems – one for model forecasts/weather data display and one for current severe weather warnings.

McFadden – Oxygen and Nitrogen bottled gases to service aircraft.

McFadden - The aircraft scheduled for this project is currently in depot level maintenance. If its schedule holds, we should be there on the 18th. But this date could slip by as much as a week or so. More on this later.

            JOSS – JOSS will provide refrigerator (small) and microwave (even smaller)
