  7. CD-4 & Key Performance Parameters CD-4 (June, 2015): To be granted upon 1) Delivering the scope specified in the WBS Dictionary 2) Meeting these Threshold Key Performance Parameters: Accelerator Facilities • Electron Energy = 3.0 GeV • Stored Current = 25 mA Conventional Facilites • Building Area = 340,000 gross square feet Experimental Facilities • Beamlines installed and ready for commissioning with x-ray beam = 6

  8. NSLS-II Project Organization

  9. Project Staffing Profile CD-2 CD-1 • CD-1: headcount was 84 (37 project staff, 34 MOU, 13 contractor staff) • CD-2: headcount is 156 (96 project staff, 52 MOU, 8 contractor staff) • 24 open requisitions – many candidates identified; interviews ongoing • Work plan for FY08 requires 154 FTEs

  10. Rendering of NSLS-II

  11. Response to PAC Recommendations • Schedule and conduct presentations on the plans and accomplishments of the HR and Procurement groups • Seek LDRD funds in FY08 to fund early start activities on JPSI • Continue search and recruiting efforts for a permanent Experimental Facilities Division Director • Schedule presentations by the interface managers for the next meeting, specifically to discuss their role in the project and what tools they plan to use • Establish requirements for change control in the Configuration Management Plan, including those for the CCB • Schedule a Cost and Schedule Review of the Project • Schedule and conduct design reviews for subsystems • Review the "key performance parameters" to be included in the project execution plan, specifically regarding the number of beamlines to be delivered

  12. Response to PAC Recommendations • Consider making minor changes in the geometry of the storage ring tunnel design to accommodate future very long straight sections, and including them in the CD-2 cost estimate • The need for a full concrete slab under the storage ring structure should be revisited with the option to provide concrete pedestals only below the supports • Consider WBS location, funding, and management of R&D to link it clearly to construction needs • Consider the level of involvement required by XFD staff in the development and testing of a prototype in-vacuum undulator • Consider an aggressive approach to early procurement of AE and related consultant services as soon as the funds are made available • Consider options for locating operations staff and NSLS-II upper management in the Operations Center

  13. Response to PAC Recommendations • A full technical specification should be prepared by ASD & XFD for the needs of various subsystems, translated to functional specifications of the CF structures and requirements, and. All three DDs and interface managers should agree and sign such a specification document (in blood) along with project director or his deputy. • The PAC strongly urges all three divisions to collectively organize ‘value engineering’ workshops and find solutions that are adequate to meet the functions and save on costs • Consider a closer examination of the technical specifications of the initial project beamlines, and seek BAT input • NSLS-II should be proactive in organizing the community to plan the science program. The suggested “BAT Council” could help in this effort. Funds should be allocated to support travel of these groups to user meetings and additional workshops.

  14. Response to PAC Recommendations • The PAC is concerned about prospects for support and integration of beamlines for life & environmental sciences. As the MIE mechanism does not seem to be available for biological sciences, it is important that NSLS-II play an active role in developing alternative funding sources and beamline development programs to engage this community from the outset. • NSLS-II should insure that policies for BAT beamtime allocation, particularly for non-BES funded BATs retain some flexibility for tailoring to meet the needs of particular sponsors or programs • Prepare a formal process to encourage highest quality user participation in MIE funding calls for additional beamlines • XFD R&D personnel should be managed by the WBS task groups, in this case beamline groups, not by R&D groups • Consider recasting the WBS for the XFD to reflect deliverable subsystems

  15. Key Milestones In 2008 And Early 2009 • Deliver 30% Title II design Feb 15, 2008 • Deliver 60% Title II design May 15, 2008 • Select BATs for Project beamlines May 15, 2008 • Award Construction Management contract May 15, 2008 • See CD-0 for MIE beamlines Jun 15, 2008 • Deliver 90% Title II design July 14, 2008 • Complete Title II final design Sep 12, 2008 • Ring Building Procurement Package out for bid Oct 13, 2008 • Begin Site Preparation Oct 31, 2008 • Site preparation complete Jan 6, 2009 • CD-3 – Approve Start of Construction Jan 15, 2009 • Storage Ring Magnet Design Complete Feb 26, 2009 • Issue Ring Building Notice to Proceed Jun 3, 2009

  16. Goals for FY08 • Resolve major outstanding preliminary design issues • Complete the final design • Prepare the project team to successfully transition from design to construction • Establish BATs for project beamlines and seek CD-0 for MIE beamlines

  17. Charge to Committee • Assess the adequacy of the proposed construction management approach for conventional facilities • Assess the planned construction approach for the technical systems • Assess the appropriateness of the planned organization and staffing for carrying out construction • Comment on the strategy and plans for procurement of both conventional and technical systems • Comment on plans for ensuring safety is fully integrated into design and effectively managed during construction • Comment on key outstanding design issues that must be resolved before commencing final design • Assess plans for beamline development and scientific strategic planning
