0606 - Summary/Objective
0607 -
060701 -
060702 - Turning out the Lights
060703 -
060704 - Wayne advised that Clyde has notified DNRC that Tudor will have a
060705 - greater presence on site in the coming weeks to close out the project
060706 - and so they can provide the support Welch has been providing with the
060707 - SDS program, as set out in my memo to DNRC and Tudor, ref SDS 7 8577.
060708 -
060709 -     [See report 2 years later of difficulties DNRC had getting
060710 -     communication support from Tudor on closing out the project,
060711 -     ref SDS 9 5673, ref SDS 9 5884, ref SDS 10 6738 ..
060716 -     [See article in 1997 of communication failure causing $10M loss,
060717 -     ref SDS 11 7777.]
060719 -  ..
060720 - Wayne said Clyde has indicated that productivity on correspondence
060721 - using SDS has fallen as a result of Jeff leaving, since Hal likes to
060722 - do this himself rather than rely on the record; an example is the
060723 - record on 890315, ref SDS 4 8688  Clyde also has objected to relying
060724 - on contract provisions for notifying contractors to peform the work.
060725 - ref SDS 4 9574.
060726 -
060727 -     [On 890329 Hal did not approve of correspondence prepared using
060728 -     the SDS record. ref SDS 8 7599, which work had been previously
060729 -     approved by DNRC counsel and Construction Manager. ref SDS 8 5439
060730 -
060732 -  ..
060733 - Wayne indicated that he and Sarah are concerned about Tudor falling
060734 - behind again on correspondence as a result of Hal trying to do this
060735 - and also handle the daily meetings and calls.
060737 -  ..
060738 - I explained part of the problem is the administrative structure which
060739 - has been addressed in prior memos.  On 890322 Sarah said that Tudor is
060740 - bringing more people from the San Francisco office. ref SDS 5 4J9L
060742 -  ..
060743 - Wayne said that Tudor has brought in some technical people, but nobody
060744 - to support management.  DNRC has this stuff under consideration,
060745 - including my memo yesterday, ref SDS 7 8577.

061101 - Advised I will be leaving the job on Wednesday.  Asked if DNRC
061102 - would be interested in acquiring the hardware.
061104 -  ..
061105 - Laser printer will cost $1,400.
061107 -  ..
061108 - CPU monitor and tape drive is available for $2,500.
061110 -  ..
061111 - Wayne said DNRC might be interested in this.  I explained it could be
061112 - helpful if I am called back to the site for any reason.
061114 -  ..
061115 - Jeff called today and said he is interested in the computer and tape
061116 - backup at the price I quoted yesterday.

061501 - I advised my intent to leave on Wednesday, under agreement for three
061502 - (3) days travel.
061504 -  ..
061505 - Wayne will discuss this more with Hal and Sarah.  He will be at the
061506 - site tomorrow and asked me to come out also, rather than leave for
061507 - SF.
061509 -  ..
061510 - He feels that right now he doesn't have enough information to decide
061511 - the matter.
