Robinson+Pool+Project

You are having an in ground pool put in your back yard. The pool is to be 15 ft long and 9 ft wide. The shallow end will be 3 ft deep and the deep end will be 9 ft deep. After 5 ft the pool will begin to descend to the deep end. The decent will cover 6 ft, leaving 4 feet of deep water.

 You must now decide which excavating company you will hire to dig the hole for your new pool. Below is the break down of three excavating companies. Your goal is to pick the best company to use. Make sure you include all of your calculations and drawings in your final product. Explain your reasoning for picking the company you chose.
