  5. Civil Construction Group Strengthened • Three major areas of enhancement • Jess Albino has joined the project as Assistant Project Director for Civil Construction • More bench strength in the “field” • Added an Executive Committee, headed by Jess, comprised of LCLS Project staff, Lab. Counsel, Lab. Business Services Division Head. Daily meeting to expedite and/or facilitate impediments to construction activities

  6. Controls and Power Electronics Department has been reorganized to strengthen support for LCLS Controls and pave the way for Commissioning and Operations LCLS interface to SLAC I&C is critical The I&C reorganization will benefit LCLS

  7. We Are Ready for Commissioning! • Commissioning begins in early 2007 • I have established an intimate partnership of the LCLS commissioning group and the Accelerator Systems Division • Roles and responsibilities are clearly established so that the commissioning plan can be carried out while retaining the full integrity of the Accelerator Conduct of Operations and Safety Guidelines

  8. Division moves to PS Directorate This Division will transfer from PPA to Photon Science by 2009. Transition Is seamlessly enabled by the commissioning phase of LCLS The Accelerator Systems Division Operates the Linac.

  9. Improved Integration of LCLS and LUSI • There are many critical interfaces between LCLS and LUSI • We have established a LCLS-LUSI Interface Working Group to ensure smooth integration of the accelerator and the experiments. This group will actively plan and execute the many interfaces, hardware and control software, to ensure early scientific success

  10. CLOC Removed from EVMS Scope • Civil construction bids far exceeded even the most pessimistic expectations • Very sharp rise in costs are not unique to LCLS • Unanticipated alignment of market factors - worldwide rise in cost of commodities and saturated California labor pool • Highest priority given to realizing full technical performance. To retain on-time, on-budget completion, and adequate contingency on work remaining, we have removed the CLOC from the EVMS scope • With this approach, and the benefit of a bottoms up Estimate to Complete, I am fully confident that LCLS is strongly positioned for an on-time and on-budget completion

  11. Re-planning The Use of Space • I constituted a Space Working Group (SWG): Two-phase process: • Phase I is complete. The SWG has devised a utilization plan that accommodates the functions that would have been housed in the CLOC building, while maintaining displaced functions within the current structures. Next step is to work through the logistics

  12. Some Near-Term Challenges • The project faces several near-term challenges. However good solutions exist • The effort needed for Controls was underestimated. It has been appropriately reassessed and $ contingency and organizational steps made to ensure success • Some components for the injector are late. Workarounds have been found to maintain preparation for commissioning. However full commissioning will begin 2-3 months late • LCLS is SLAC’s highest priority. We will adjust and interrupt the linac operations to protect the LCLS commissioning start • The R&D for the undulator vacuum chamber has not yet yielded a final design solution. While not yet critical, back-up plans are underway

  13. Safety Is Paramount – There Can be No Compromises ESHAC 10/10/06
