0404 - Summary/Objective
0405 -
040501 - Wayne was on the job today, and advised that Clyde has indicated
040502 - SDS support is no longer needed.  Tudor has recommended that since
040503 - DNRC has settled the disputes with Sletten, the reason for SDS has
040504 - ended.  Wayne said he discussed this with Sarah and she concurred.  So
040505 - I can demobilize at the end of the month.
040506 -
040507 -     [On 890324 Clyde advised that DNRC decided not to continue the
040508 -     Welch contract. ref SDS 8 6399]
040510 -      ..
040511 -     [On 890328 DNRC reports Tudor not performing management tasks;
040512 -     plans to increase staff on site to accomplish SDS management
040513 -     support. ref SDS 10 6948
040515 -  ..
040516 - Sarah called in the afternoon about my review of the settlement
040517 - proposal with Sletten.
040519 -  ..
040520 - She mentioned her discussion with Wayne about my leaving, and asked
040521 - what I thought about the continuing need for support on site?
040523 -  ..
040524 - I explained that care will be needed to obtain compliance by Sletten.
040525 - Their record is not good on following the contract and on performing
040526 - agreements, principally because they lack management strength and
040527 - skill to plan the work.  Their best people rely on filing claims,
040528 - which they are good at doing.
040530 -  ..
040531 - As a result, without continuing attention to align the work with
040532 - objectives, requirements, and commitments, new issues will cause
040533 - further delay and extra cost to DNRC and the other contractors.  An
040534 - example is discussion with Norm on 890215 where he asked for help on
040535 - meetings. ref SDS 7 P116  Norm and Wayne have indicated meetings have
040536 - continued to deterioriate, so it is something that DNRC needs to
040537 - address some way or another.
040539 -  ..
040540 - Sarah said she has discussed it with Wayne.  Tudor has promised to
040541 - bring more support from the San Francisco office to help Hal stay on
040542 - top of things.  They know that is not the same as using SDS, but feel
040543 - it is Tudor's call.
040545 -  ..
040546 - I explained that Voith will require careful management based on its
040547 - record of poor performance, as explained in prior analysis, e.g., on
040548 - 880921. ref SDS 6 8526  Project closeout and commissioning should be
040549 - carefully managed to ensure DNRC's interests are protected.
040551 -  ..
040552 - Sarah requested a memo confirming my opinion on remaining management
040553 - scope for Welch.
040554 -
040555 -     [On 890327 submitted memo to Sarah. ref SDS 9 9503
040557 -  ..
040558 - Sarah said she will discuss it further with Wayne and Norm and let me
040559 - know for sure so I can plan on staying or leaving.
040560 -
040561 -     [On 890328 Wayne reports that Tudor is falling further behind.
