Water Shuttle Operations Tender Cycle Time = 10 minutes the first mile + 2 minutes each additional mile (Calculated one way and not for a round trip) Example #1: Viola to Conway Springs: 6. 5 miles travel distance (round up) 10 minutes the first mile + 12 minutes for six miles Tender Cycle Time = 22 minutes Example #2: Viola to Clearwater: 9. 4 miles travel distance 10 minutes the first mile + 18 minutes for nine miles Tender Cycle Time = 28 minutes Example #3: Viola to 103 rd S. & 263 rd West: 2 miles travel distance 10 minutes the first mile + 2 minutes for the last mile Tender Cycle Time = 12 minutes

Water Shuttle Operations Tenders Required = Tender Cycle Time X GPM Flow = # of Tenders Required Tender Capacity Example #1: 28 minutes X 1000 GPM = 11. 2 Tenders 2500 Gallons (Round Up) 28 minutes X 650 GPM = 7. 2 Tenders 2500 Gallons Example #2: 22 minutes X 1000 GPM = 8. 8 Tenders 2500 Gallons 22 minutes X 650 GPM = 5. 7 Tenders 2500 Gallons Example #3: 12 minutes X 1000 GPM = 4. 8 Tenders 2500 Gallons 12 minutes X 650 GPM = 3. 1 Tenders 2500 Gallons (Consider one additional tender for safety margin!)
