Re: Transport Transformer – Boardman, Oregon to Gebze, Turkey
Emmert International Project C081549

Ms. Koeff,

Thank you for considering Emmert International for your upcoming project. With over 40 years
in the Engineered Transport and Specialized Rigging Industry, Emmert International has the
experience, expert personnel and equipment to get the job done in the safest most efficient
manner possible.

Emmert International is please to provide a budget estimate of Seven Hundred Seventy Five
Thousand Dollars ($775,000.00 USD) to remove one (1) transformer (31.16’ L x 11.48’ W x
16.4’ H 434,400 lbs) from foundation located in Boardman, Oregon, transport to on-site rail spur,
load and lash to railcar, transport via rail to the Port of Houston, Texas, offload to ocean heavy-
lift ship, transport via heavy lift ship to Turkey, offload directly to a suitable highway transporter,
and transport to final destination located in Gebze, Turkey.

A detailed route survey will be required to confirm this, and completion of this route survey will
require detailed shipping drawings. Please note that the price of performing utility work and
removal and reinstallation of overhead obstructions is not included in this price and will be
performed on an actual time and materials used plus 15% fee basis.

Our price includes permits, escorts, all management, labor, equipment, and material to perform
the work and is based upon:

¾ Mutually acceptable purchase order and/or contract terms. 50% payment is due upon
loading to ship, 50% due upon arrival at destination.
¾ Performing the work using open shop labor during a standard work week. Price does not
include overtime, weekend, or holiday work.
¾ Prices are quoted in today’s values and do not include any amounts for escalation.
Emmert International will reevaluate prices 30 days prior to the start of work.
¾ The price quoted assumes formal acceptance by the appropriate agencies using the
transporter configuration indicated above.

on declared value. Emmert International maintains insurance up to $1,000,000.00.
However; all claims are limited to $2.50 per pound unless otherwise declared on the
shipping documents. If additional insurance is required, the cost for such will be quoted
separately upon request. Emmert International assumes no liability for cargo in excess of
insured amount. Emmert International’s insurance does not cover the cargo during
loading to ship or ocean transport.
