Three items need you
before 9am.

Good morning, Chris. Revenue pacing +12% to plan, pipeline covers 4.2× quota, and three items need a decision this week. Full read: eight minutes. Your 10:30 with Paul has a prep note queued.

Sanderson Pad 14 · margin at 6.1% · MSA reset call with Mike Reeves this week
AG.02 · Job Costing
Pad 14 is tracking 12pp below the Pad 11–13 cohort. Superintendent rate gap ($55 billed vs $62.50 MSA ceiling) accounts for $1,260 on this job and will repeat on Pads 15–17 unless the rate card is reset. Mike Reeves is receptive — Apr 15 call transcript queued.
EPA OOOOb · 38 pneumatic retrofits pending · Jul 1 deadline
AG.13 · Reg Intel
Bronco Operating (client) has 38 of 100 pneumatic controllers pending zero-bleed retrofit with a July 1 deadline. AFE of ~$142K is drafted but not yet board-approved. Penalty exposure: $47K/day/unit. Board meeting Apr 24 is the forcing function.
Ridgeline PL-047 · Class A dig-up required within 5 days
AG.10 · Pipeline Integrity
AN-14289 at milepoint 67.4 · 38% wall loss. PHMSA 192.933 requires dig within 5 calendar days. Corva has contractor capacity. Your call: Meridian bids the civil work or passes to incumbent. Historical win rate on these: 72%.
