0809 - Summary/Objectivef this document and has read it.
0810 -
081001 - He feels it makes a strong and persuasive case for uniform
081002 - standards in the full range of tasks and assignments for design and CM
081003 - professionals.
081004 -
081005 - He said it has a section dealing with Owner responsibility for the
081006 - result of placing unrealistic limits on budget and time of performance
081007 - for the design phase.

0812 - Standard for bid plans
0813 -
081301 - Jeff said much of his work is let for competitive bidding with plans
081302 - that are incomplete.
081303 -
081304 - We discussed this at length.
081305 -
081306 - A key point he made is that the terms of the bid are defined to permit
081307 - significant recovery for portions of the work that are not well
081308 - defined in the plans, and are otherwise significantly contingent.  He
081309 - feels this is importantly distinguished from a public works project
081310 - where it is generally intended that the work can be constructed from
081311 - the bid plans as drawn.  One component of his practice is that each
081312 - bid letting is followed by extensive negotiations with each or at
081313 - least several contractor bidders.  This procedure is not permitted in
081314 - public work as involved in the CSCJ project.

131003 -
131004 - Jeff submitted via fax some comments on POIMS.
131005 -
131006 - I called him to discuss....
131007 -
131008 - Jeff does not understand the concept of "supple data creation" for
131009 - connecting information into chronologies of cause and effect, in para
131010 - 2.
131011 -
131012 - He feels "information storage" is the factor important to improving
131013 - management.
131014 -
131015 - This means there is still a general breach of understanding about the
131016 - notion of growing knowledge by connecting information over time.
131017 -
131018 -      [On 900303 Jeremy Campbell's book, "Improbable Machine" seems to
131019 -      support SDS design. ref SDS 4 0052
131020 -
131021 - Maybe we should change "data creation" to simply "data entry."  Jeff
131022 - feels the second para could be eliminated altogether.
131023 -
131024 -
131025 -     Perceived Value
131026 -
131027 -     This indicates the market does not understand a tool to support
131028 -     writing and connect it to prior information and objectives, is a
131029 -     process of creating knowledge and ideas, and that this is
131030 -     valuable.
131031 -
131032 -
131033 - Need to give more thought to Jeff's ideas.
131034 -
131035 - He mentioned Wordperfect has a feature that allows showing the
131036 - changes made to a document, so a reviewer can quickly find the things
131037 - changed from the last time it was reviewed.  This would be helpful.

1404 - Hardware
1405 -
140501 - He asked about whether to get a 80286 or an 80386, I suggested he get
140502 - an 80386 for the speed, but should inquire from hardware vendors for
140503 - the best price.
140504 -
140505 - I also encouraged him to get a machine for his house and to have a
140506 - tape backup for both locations.
