100801 - I explained the general points at ref SDS 14 line 070705.
100802 -
100803 - We did an exercise to find Voith's Dec 10, letter.  Wayne expressed a
100804 - concern that if speed increaser corrections are held to be warranty
100805 - work, then DNRC cannot recover costs of engineering and so forth. This
100806 - interpretation may not be entirely correct.  GC 13.12 appears to be
100807 - the contract warranty provision and permits the Owner to recover sup-
100808 - port costs, if the Contractor fails to perform.  The main issue on
100809 - warranty is whether DNRC can recover the costs of delays, such as lost
100810 - revenue.  I suppose an argument might also be made that Owner support
100811 - costs are only recoverabe if the contractor fails to make the repairs.
100812 -
100813 -     This requires a complex analysis of Voith's conduct where, after
100814 -     protracted denials, it agrees to perform, and whether subsequent
100815 -     delay thereon constitutes sufficient causation for the Owner to
100816 -     incur support costs.  It would seem so to me, but that will only
100817 -     arise as an issue if Voith can overcome the record showing the
100818 -     speed increaser is in fact contract work.
100819 -
100820 - In any event since the parties agree the speed increaser is punch list
100821 - work, per Voith's Dec 10, letter, the matter appears moot, since GC
100822 - 13.11 permits recovery of all necessary and reasonable Owner support
100823 - costs.
100824 -
100825 - We considered Walt's belief, as a result of having been misled by
100826 - Tudor and Voith, that the speed increaser is warranty work.  So far he
100827 - has not indicated an awareness of having been misled.  There would be
100828 - a concern that in a deposition or cross examination during formal dis-
100829 - pute resolution, Walt's underlying belief might result in a false
100830 - factual representation on this matter contrary to DNRC interests.
100831 -
100832 - Wayne believes that Walt now recognizes that speed increaser repair is
100833 - contract work, and that he understands why this is so.

100837 -
100838 - Wayne indicated though that not much analysis has been done on this
100839 - matter so far.
100840 -
100841 -     We discussed how DNRC can obtain the large body of SDS analysis
100842 -     through the Subject Index that shows the facts and reasoning that
100843 -     lead to the conclusion that the speed increaser is contract work
100844 -     under GC 13.11.

Power's Doc Log

1307 - Progress
1308 -
130801 - I suggested that Power be directed to begin using the Broadwater
130802 - project computer to produce its documents so there is a way to get
130803 - them into the SDS doc log system.
130804 -
130805 -    Mike can simply backup the thing each day so it is entered on
130806 -    Wayne's computer.
130807 -
130808 -    Problem
130809 -
130810 -    This is not going to work as well as I initially thought because we
130811 -    need to get the documents produced, entered into the SDS doc log
130812 -    environment, including assigning "subjects," and this takes someone
130813 -    to do it.  Ordinarily the documents are produced on the "system" so
130814 -    there is not an extra step, but if we just copy from particular
130815 -    Power directories, it will be a mess.
130816 -
130817 -        Solution
130818 -
130819 -        Perhaps with pcAnywhere can be appliedto overcome this problem.
130820 -
130821 -
130822 - We considered how to get Power to use the SDS doc log.  One idea was
130823 - to show them how SDS works and ask that they include this capability.
130824 -
130825 - Wayne feels that Power probably cannot do this.  He feels though that
130826 - it would be helpful to get the documents inventoried with the RBase
130827 - system, then have the important documents entered into the SDS doc log
130828 - for management support.
130829 -
130830 -    This may be so, however, there remains a residual concern that DNRC
130831 -    has a large body of documents inventoried in the SDS doc log and
130832 -    will subsequently introduce a different system with lessor capbili-
130833 -    ty and requiring significantly greater investment in learning.  The
130834 -    liklihood of confussion in the record is greatly enhanced by this
130835 -    step.
130836 -
130837 -    Evidently Walt has given Power approval to proceed to inventory the
130838 -    Broadwater site documents, DNRC's office project documents and the
130839 -    recently received Tudor main office documents.
130840 -
130841 -
130842 - Wayne will work on this.

150601 - Wayne feels SDS offers a decided advantage over existing methods of
150602 - document control and access.
150603 -
150604 - He likes the ability to get lists of documents under various criteria
150605 - and to access the document from the list, and to access the SDS
150606 - records where the document has been considered.
