. NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION PROJECTS Project: Terascale Simulation Facility Site: Sandia National Laboratories ID: 00-D-103 TPC: $95.3 million EIR Date: August 2001 Key Findings: · Resource-loaded schedule was not developed.
|
From page 100... ...
· The backup support for the demolition and disposal estimate does not match the baseline estimate and is not detailed enough to support the $1 million estimated for this activity. Project: Gas Transfer Capacity Expansion project Site: Kansas City ID: 03-D-121 TPC: $31.3 million EIR Date: November 2002 Key Findings: · Key assumptions for cost and schedule estimates were not documented.

From page 101... ...
OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROJECTS Project: Glovebox Excavation Method Project -- Pit 9 Site: Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory ID: ID-ER-106 TPC: $79.6 million EIR Date: July 2002 Key Findings: · Funding requirements by FY could not be verified due to a lack of cross walk from estimate to schedule. · There was no current approved baseline schedule that reflected the current plan.
|
From page 102... ...
· The risk management process is based on a qualitative analysis and pro vides no definitive information on the potential magnitude of the cost and schedule impacts associated with the risks. Government furnished services and items (GFS&I)
|
From page 103... ...
· The project change control thresholds did not correspond to O 413.3. · Some major equipment items included in the baseline were not included in the Acquisition Strategy.
|
From page 104... ...
Project: INTEC Cathodic Protection System Expansion Project Site: Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory ID: 02-D-402 TPC: $6.7 million EIR Date: September 2001 Key Findings: · The Construction Project Data Sheet does not reflect the current cost estimate. · The intended work scope was not clearly outlined in the Title I design documents.
|
From page 105... ...
· The cost for risk mitigation contingency shown in the project cost esti mate was not derived from the application of the risk model. · No commissioning plan exists to ensure that the replacement systems, equipment, and components are ultimately capable of being operated and maintained according to the laboratory's operational needs.
|
From page 106... ...
· Project-specific configuration management and control process have not been developed, as required by O 413.3. Further, no laboratory configu ration management and control policy or procedure is cited in the project management plan (PMP)
|
From page 107... ...
· The risk assessment plan identifies only three risks, leaving many unaddressed -- for example, coordination perils resulting from the concur rent general plant projects, state and private sector projects occurring in the same vicinity, and the likelihood of funding shortfalls. The risk miti gation strategies lack specificity and depth.
|
From page 108... ...
· The project team has not sufficiently defined milestones included in the schedule baseline to manage the project in accordance with the project baseline change control thresholds and DOE guidance. · Several key areas of the preliminary design were missing outline specifi cations, equipment specifications, general notes, and keyed notes.
