Will you be tracking actual production dates, actual shipment/delivery dates on the chart as well, once those become known? Even more of a logistical nightmare, but might make prediction better for the later orders? Doing so would also make it easier to see if they are clumping by color or feature or trim level, or whether it really is a first order in, first order out system. (happy to help in any way I can)Yeah, all of this build-up is for relocating all the marines off of Okinawa. They’re a couple years late on it, so now it’s a mad rush. The local Chamorran construction workforce is like 5,000 people, and the Navy estimates it will take 20,000+ to get all of this work done. That wasn’t really my concern (I can get people there), but feeding concrete, rebar, formwork, etc, to the island is the problem. The Navy has CRAZY liquidated damages because of the urgent nature of the work. And ultimately, the risk was greater than the reward.
I tried to get out there several times, but the Covid restrictions meant I would have had to spend two weeks in quarantine when I arrived. Couldn’t afford that kind of time away from my local operations. Even tried to get a waiver from the military, but they wouldn’t do it.
Oh well…their loss!
Last thing about Guam and I’m done. I recall that it was going to cost me about $10,000 to get each container load of equipment from the Central US out to the island (and to the jobsite). I’m curious to know how much got tacked on to your truck to get it out to Hawaii.
