050901 - Follow up
050902 -
050903 - I discussed with Wayne and Norm the need for getting someone to enter
050904 - past documents into a data base by "Issue" and recommended that JoAnn
050905 - would probably be best for this task because of her knowledge of the
050906 - job and experience in handling the documents.
050908 -  ..
050909 - I explained that the assignment will be somewhat difficult because
050910 - Sletten does not show on its documents a "Subject" or references, and
050911 - because their letters often deal with multiple subjects.
050913 -  ..
050914 - However, the arbitration efforts need to be able to identify
050915 - documents by "Issue" and this requires a data base.  This could be
050916 - extra work that JoAnn could do at home, as well as fit in around her
050917 - other tasks.
050919 -  ..
0510 -
0511 - Administrative support for Arbitration
0512 -
051201 - Explained this will likely require more time to support the Engineer
051202 - at the job.  Sarah has hired a part time person for the Helena
051203 - effort.  JoAnn can likely provide this service at the job site with
051204 - additional compensation.

0515 - Filing space
0516 -
051601 - Advised that the two filing cabinets are full and so the site needs
051602 - another cabinet to support the Engineering and arbitration effort.
051604 -  ..
051605 - Norm asked if Sletten can remove the cabinets it supplied with the
051606 - trailer, when the job ends.  I explained that ordinarily this would
051607 - be the case.

Personnel,
Pay raise for JoAnn

0807 -
0808 - Discussed with Norm and Wayne getting a raise for JoAnn.  Advised I
0809 - don't know what she is making, but she has indicated that Jeff said
0810 - he would request a raise on merit.  Apparently he hasn't had time or
0811 - she misunderstood him.
0812 -
0813 - I recommended that she be given a raise to support the additional
0814 - work required as described above.  Wayne said DNRC will consider
0815 - this under the possibility of hiring her directly with DNRC  or
0816 - alternativley contracting independently for supplemental services.
0817 - These procedures would not involve her presant employer, such that
0818 - any raise would accrue direclty to JoAnn.

110502 - Project Manager Decides to Stand Down on Using SDS for Meetings
110503 -
110504 - Hal stopped by the office this morning and introduced himself, as the
110505 - new project manager, taking over for Jeff, who has taken another
110506 - assignment, as he reported on 890110. ref SDS 4 3U7K  We visited for

110510 - Hal explained that the contractors prefer that Welch not attend
110511 - Progess meetings because they don't like SDS records.
110513 -  ..
110514 - I asked if all of the contractors have objected to SDS, and if this
110515 - change has been discussed with the State and with Tudor management?
110517 -  ..
110518 - Hal advised of having discussed this with Tudor's VP, Clyde Earnest,
110519 - and Clyde feels things are going well enough right now for me to spend
110520 - more time on other matters, and not attend meetings.
110522 -  ..
110523 - We reviewed the record on 880815 showing Welch was hired expressly to
110524 - improve productivity of meetings because this impacts on claims
110525 - management.
110527 -  ..
110528 - Hal explained having looked through some SDS records and he agrees
110529 - with the contractors that less detail on meetings can expedite
110530 - progress by maintaining good relations, so he has decided SDS should
110531 - not be used on meetings.  Hal said that Clyde agrees and feels that
110532 - Norm Bernard is a good note taker, so the project will rely on Norm
110533 - for this from now on.  He has not discussed this with Norm and Wayne,
110534 - but feels this is a Tudor call, and that Clyde plans to discuss it
110535 - with DNRC.
110537 -  ..
110538 - I agreed that Norm is a good note taker, and that Norm has a good
110539 - understanding of the project that will help Hal in his new assignment.

150701 - Requests decision on this matter.  Contractor assumes acceptance by
150702 - the Engineer.
150704 -  ..
150705 - This sounds like the matter relating to blocking Gracon access to the
150706 - stair when they were trying to pour concrete.
150708 -  ..
150709 - The contractor's position is incorrect since it was informed by
150710 - Tudor's letter of 881229 that the Engineer cannot approve a claim for
150711 - this matter without further information from Gracon to show
150712 - entitlement under the contract.

1709 - I asked Norm about this
1710 -
171001 - He furnished a diskett which is supposed to have a file of a
171002 - transcript of the meeting notes in question.  We need to review it
171003 - and inform the contractor of the information.
171005 -  ..
171006 - I tried to boot up the file, but found it is in Wordperfect.  JoAnn
171007 - converted the file to ASCII, but the file turned out to be over 400
171008 - KB, and so could not read it in Medit.  Called Morris.  He believes
171009 - there are programs in the market that can divide large files from
171010 - dos, but he isn't aware of names or vendors.
171012 -  ..
171013 - I examined the file in WordPerfect, and found it is corrupted.  Much
171014 - of the data is stacked vertically in approximately column 65  rather
171015 - than in horizontile standard text lines.

171018 - I advised Norm that in order for Tudor to proceed with responding to
171019 - Gracon, DNRC should furnish a readable file for the meeting being
