0908 -    ..
0909 - Summary/Objective
0910 -
091001 - Followed up work at ref SDS 2 line 70.  Initial analysis and links
091002 - from CDWR's schedule, indicate it may extend PG&E's completion dates
091003 - beyond the contract requirements.
091004 -
091005 - Reviewed with Bill, Kevin.  Began schedule changes.
091006 -
091007 - A meeting with CDWR to analyse logical interfaces was postponed, until
091008 - PG&E submits updated schedule with initial understandings about the
091009 - impact of CDWR's schedule.
091010 -
091011 - Will follow up on Monday, after getting more legible schedule from
091012 - CDWR.

0913 - Schedule meeting with CDWR
0914 -
091401 - Reminded Bill to call Lori about meeting with CDWR on creating the
091402 - interface between CDWR's pipeline project and PG&E's Transmission
091403 - system job, per ref SDS 2 line 127.
091404 -
0915 -
0916 -
0917 - 1132 Bill called Lori
0918 -
091801 - Lori said CDWR does not have any more detail at this time.  She asked
091802 - that PG&E make a best guess first pass at integrating the PG&E work
091803 - with what can be discerned from CDWR's schedule.
091804 -
091805 - He confirmed the progress meeting discussed yesterday, will be held in
091806 - Sacramento 940928 1000, at same place, ref SDS 1 line 59.

0921 - Review CDWR Schedule
0922 -
092201 - PG&E activity 1.1.8, Construct transmission line, Devils Den - Polonio
092202 - Pass, is scheduled to commence, Feb 2, 1995.
092203 -
092204 -
092205 -     CDWR's Schedule Delays
092206 -     PG&E by Approximately 5 Months
092207 -
092208 -     CDWR's schedule shows activity 1, Pipeline Reach No. 1, which Lori
092209 -     identified today as comprising the work from Devils Den to Polonio
092210 -     Pass, "Notice to Proceed" for contractor on Dec 23, 1993.  Work
092211 -     Complete is shown as Jun 30, 1995, Feature Operational is Jun 30,
092212 -     1995.
092213 -
092214 -         Initial Analysis
092215 -
092216 -         PG&E's contract may indicate it is to have full access to the
092217 -         work area along the transmission line route.  Since its work
092218 -         is within 50' of the pipeline, one assumption is that PG&E's
092219 -         work cannot begin until the pipeline work is complete, which
092220 -         is shown as Jun 30, 1995, or about 5 months (22 weeks), after
092221 -         the current scheduled start date of Feb 2, 1995.
092222 -
092223 -         This results in completion occurring in Feb, 1996, well after
092224 -         the contract completion date for PG&E.
092225 -
092226 -
092227 -     CDWR's activity 9, Three Plants-Completion, shows notice to
092228 -     proceed for contractor on Jan 2, 1995.  Completion is shown on
092229 -     Sep 30, 1996, Feature Operational on Apr 8, 1996.
092230 -
092231 -         Initial Analysis
092232 -
092233 -         These dates indicate PG&E's tie-in to CDWR's plants may occur
092234 -         well beyond Sep 14, 1995, when PG&E is scheduled to complete
092235 -         its construct activity 1.1.8.
092236 -
092237 -
092238 -     Meters
092239 -
092240 -     CDWR does not seem to have an activity for the meters called out
092241 -     in contract section 8.2 on page 13, for CDWR to furnish and
092242 -     install at each of the pumping plants and at SLO Hydro, prior to
092243 -     PG&E testing and energizing service.
092244 -
092245 -         Initial Analysis
092246 -
092247 -         Since installation of meters by CDWR must precede PG&E
092248 -         activities, 1.2.5, 2.4 and 3.3, PG&E needs to know when the
092249 -         metering work will be complete, in order to finalize its
092250 -         schedule.
092251 -
092252 -
092253 - Similar conflicts indicated it would be helpful to PG&E and CDWR to
092254 - investigate and determine logical and convenient interfaces between
092255 - the activity of the pipeline and plant contracts, and the PG&E
092256 - contract, so that PG&E can meet CDWR's objectives set out in the PG&E
092257 - contract.
092258 -
092259 - Bill asked me to call Lori to request a more legible copy of CDWR's
092260 - schedule.
092261 -
092262 -
0923 -
0924 -
0925 - 1213 called Lori
0926 -
092601 - Talked to Jennifer.  Lori is out to lunch.  Jennifer will ask Lori to
092602 - send a better copy of the schedule, so we can integrate with PG&E's
092603 - schedule.
092604 -
092605 -
092606 -
0927 -
0928 -
0929 - 1541 called Lori back
0930 -
093001 - Lori said she thought she had mailed an original earlier, but in any
093002 - case, put another copy in the mail today.  I explained the first fax
093003 - she sent is better, but it will help to have an original.
093004 -
093005 - Scheduled follow up for next Monday, to incorporate the integration
093006 - of CDWR work with PG&E.
093007 -
093008 -
093009 -
093010 -
0931 -
0932 -
0933 - 1607 Reviewed with Kevin Coffee
0934 -
093401 - Showed Kevin the schedule from CDWR.  He feels CDWR's schedule can be
093402 - analysed to define logical interfaces, so PG&E's work can be accom-
093403 - plished within budget and contract completion objectives.
093404 -
093405 - We considered the advantage of discussing with CDWR's contractors
093406 - their schedule needs so PG&E can work in a way to reduce their
093407 - temporary power costs.
