0708 - Summary/Objective
0709 -
070901 - Followed up work at ref SDS 20 line 53.  Met with Bill to explain
070902 - conflicts between CDWR and PG&E schedule.  Will meet to modify
070903 - schedule, and schedule call to CDWR on meeting to resolve conflicts.
070904 -
070905 - Bill and I got this about 80% complete.
070906 -

0712 - Discussion
0713 -
071301 - Explained results of preliminary analysis at ref SDS 20 line 96,
071302 - including the meter issue at ref SDS 20 line 128.
071303 -
071304 - We considered creating a schedule showing impact of CDWR schedule
071305 - data, without more detail to coordinate PG&E work with work of
071306 - pipeline contractors.
071307 -
071308 -      This likely will require a meeting with the contractors and CDWR
071309 -      to also coordinate temporary power, since that is likely a
071310 -      contractor expense, and CDWR is likely paying for power from the
071311 -      new Transmission Line, so the contractor will have an incentive
071312 -      to work out an early schedule that enables PG&E to complete its
071313 -      work.
071314 -
071315 -
071316 - Plan of Action to Complete Schedule
071317 -
071318 - Bill and I will create a sample schedule showing the interface
071319 - requested by CDWR, based on the schedule they have submitted.  This
071320 - can be a tool to illustrate the need for meeting with CDWR staff on
071321 - points below.

0714 -
0715 -
0716 - 1218 Began Schedule Modifications
0717 -
071701 - Created new project file, ref OF 2 line 30.
071702 -
071703 - This one will incorporate the CDWR schedule, and add meters required
071704 - for CDWR to install in advance of PG&E completing its work, since
071705 - this is a specific contract requirement, section 8.4 p. 13:15.
071706 -
071707 -      I put the meters above the task to test and energize, since the
071708 -      contract says CDWR will provide them in advance of this activity.
071709 -
071710 -
071711 -
071712 - For preliminary planning purposes, adopted a 3 month lag between the
071713 - operation date for plant construction of 960726, and start of PG&E
071714 - work.  This reflects the lack of knowledge about what aspects of
071715 - CDWR's work really drives (i.e. controls) PG&E work.  I entered notes
071716 - for the CDWR tasks added today, so it will be clear what was done and
071717 - focus attention by planners in developing better information.
071718 -
071719 -     [This was changed the next day per ref SDS 23 line 105.]

071723 -
071724 - Questions
071725 -
071726 -
071727 -    The release for operation task, 1.2.5 shows complete set on
071728 -    950918.  It is not clear what drives this date; it appears to be
071729 -    fixed.
071730 -
071731 -    Added task from CDWR Schedule for completion of Casmalia Hills
071732 -    Pumping Plant, task 14, to complete prior to
071733 -
071734 -
071735 - MS Project
071736 -
071737 - Bill installed on this on his office computer, but we worked on my CPU
071738 - #3 to apply the new tools received at ref SDS 21 line 27.  Made good
071739 - progress applying new tools.
071740 -
071741 -
071742 - Schedule Formatting
071743 -
071744 - We encountered a few snags applying the new formatting features.
071745 - Could not get the task descriptions to wrap onto a second line,
071746 - instead of running off the field length.
071747 -
071748 - Could not the WBS codes to show, nor figure out how to size the
071749 - network, so it all prints on a single sheet.
071750 -
071751 -     Got some of the answers at ref SDS 22 line 25.
071752 -
071753 -
071754 -
0718 -
0719 -
0720 - 0734 modify schedule
0721 -
072101 - See follow up tasks at ref SDS 18 line 107.
072102 -
072103 -
072104 - We may need several meetings with CDWR.  One to illustrate the problem
072105 - so they can figure out who we need to work with on this in detail, and
072106 - then a meeting to work on the specific integration of the schedules.
072107 -
072108 -
072109 - Additionally, we want to get the CDWR staffing for the PG&E project,
072110 - per ref SDS 17 line 34.
