Contingency adjustment recommended for all else. • RSVP management structure good but management should implement economy of scale and use common resources where possible. Examine streamlining and/or consolidation of project offices.

  4. RSVP Project Office – New Guidance(quote from 25 Jan email from Kotcher) “RSVP is under extreme pressure to baseline in the spring. Under this kind of time constraint, with quite possibly the continuation of the project in the balance, many of the normal, more time-intensive means of communicating will have to take a back seat in the interest of trying to get things converge on this time scale. I hope all of you will make an effort to see past whatever minor perturbations this may introduce in appreciation of the bigger picture; I will nonetheless do what I can to keep things moving as smoothly as possible.”

  5. RSVP Project Office – New Guidance (cont’) All projects have been asked to design to cost, according to the following guidelines (burdened FY05$): • KOPIO - 55M • MECO magnet - 56M • MECO - 24M • AGS - 40M • Project Office - 20M • These numbers include contingency, which should be constructed according to the Lockheed guidelines as posted on the RSVP web site. • The Project Office will make any needed adjustments in the overall contingency. • The RSVP Project Office is assembling an April Baseline Review. • The usual backup material - cost books, C/TDR's, etc. - will be needed to review. • Project costs will have to be reported in escalated dollars

  6. RSVP Project Office – New Guidance (cont’) • “In light of this priority, the coming review schedule according to the Sep timeline will be changed in order to allow time for you to put all of this together.” • In particular, we will not have the reviews of the individual sub- projects via the ad hoc LOG committees. • An updated review schedule will be ready in a few days • “you should be entirely focused on constructing a "baselineable" project plan” • “To the very greatest extent possible, project personnel should drop everything during this intensive period”

  7. Misc • RSVP Project Office Account Number: 88542 • The K0PI0 funds have arrived, accounts are being setup • CFI work ($120K) • AGS upgrades work ($145,049) • K0PI0 Beam Lines ($285,928) • USE These accounts to charge your time!
