Fat isn't even the word for what this is going to cost. They have a limited amount of time to repair that spillway before next winter. That means overtime, lots and lots of overtime. 24/7 construction. I would make bank on this job as a construction surveyor. I'd camp out on the job and never go home.
Already they have trackhoes, trucks, and barges working to clear the debris field 24/7. This is one of those juicy contracts people in the industry love to have. You can basically charge anything.
