1111 - Summary/Objective
1112 -
111201 - Followed up work at ref SDS 3 line 66, and letter ref DIP 2 line 30.
111202 -
111203 - Reviewed with Bill and Kevin integration of CDWR's schedule for
111204 - Coastal Branch Phase II, ref DRP 1 line 10, received from Lori Brown
111205 - ref SDS 1 line 281, which is Action Item 5 at ref SDS 1 line 102.
111206 - Called Lori Brown and set review meeting with CDWR for next Thursday
111207 - 940922 in Sacramento.  Called Bob Masuoka for review meeting.
111208 - Completed corrections and formatting changes requested by Bill, who
111209 - made further changes.  Faxed final version of schedule to Lori at
111210 - CDWR; sent revised schedule to Kevin via PG&E internal mail.
111211 -
111212 -
111213 -
1113 -
1114 - Progress
1115 -
111501 - Reviewed with Bill the Doc ID scheme created at ref SDS 3 line 193.
111502 -
111503 -    Decided to submit the version that omits this field, for review
111504 -    meeting with Kevin.
111505 -
111506 -
111507 - Reviewed with Kevin
111508 -
111509 -    There is a question about task:
111510 -
111511 -        gh0d5, 2.2.1.4  Construct Space for Comm. Control
111512 -                        Area, by CDWR
111513 -
111514 -
111515 -        ...it is shown as a milestone on 961129, but the task that
111516 -        preceeds it is GD3D 2.1.13 Plant Turbine Operational, CDWR task
111517 -        #13, and it completes on 960726.  So what positions gh0d5 at
111518 -        961129?
111519 -
111520 -             Solution
111521 -
111522 -             Analysis showed the activity Task Information menu had
111523 -             "Constrain Task" type is set to "As late as possible."  I
111524 -             changed this to "As soon as possible."
111525 -
111526 -             This change eliminated the 3 month float, which was being
111527 -             driven by the late finish of the overall schedule in the
111528 -             Casmalia work.
111529 -
111530 -        The correction moved the completion of SLO Hydro work from
111531 -        970128, to 970113, and it is no longer "critical."
111532 -
111533 -
111534 -    Bill asked that a page break to segment SLO Hydro from Casmalia,
111535 -    similar to the break between Devils Den - Polonio Pass and SLO
111536 -    Hydro.
111537 -
111538 -    Also need to add a header that shows PG&E name and Project.
111539 -
111540 -        I did this.  Included CDWR as sponsor and added filename.
111541 -
111542 -
111543 -
111544 - Schedule Meeting with CDWR
111545 -
111546 - During the meeting with Kevin we called Lori Brown to schedule a
111547 - meeting to sort out the interface between CDWR work and PG&E's
111548 - contract, per ref SDS 2 line 163.
111549 -
111550 -    Bill explained questions about defining "operational" with respect
111551 -    to whether PG&E can finish work on Devils Den - Polonio Pass, and
111552 -    then wait a long period, to finish work on SLO Hydro and Casmalia.
111553 -    The other question is being able to define completion prior to
111554 -    1996, so GO 131-D is not applicable, because if that occurs, then
111555 -    PG&E's work could be further delayed while complying with this new
111556 -    permitting process.
111557 -
111558 -        Lori said she has a note from Bob [Grotheer], that indicates
111559 -        something about CDWR completion dates are predicated on need-
111560 -        ing power 1 month prior to receiving equipment.
111561 -
111562 -        She feels PG&E and CDWR staff need to meet on this.
111563 -
111564 -    Lori will be in San Francisco tomorrow for a PUC hearing.  She can
111565 -    meet about 0700 to receive and review the schedule.  Decided not to
111566 -    meet tomorrow.  She will be in LA next Tuesday and needs Monday to
111567 -    prepare for that trip.  PG&E has an internal progress meeting on
111568 -    the CDWR project in Los Banos on Wednesday, so cannot meet in
111569 -    Sacramento on that day.
111570 -
111571 -    Set tentative meeting for next Thursday 940922 1000 in Sacramento,
111572 -    to review the schedule in detail.
111573 -
111574 -    Bill will to send the schedule to Lori by fax today.  She can call
111575 -    if she needs help interpreting the document.
111576 -
111577 -        [I did this in the afternoon oa 1600.]
111578 -
111579 -
111580 -
1116 -
1117 -
1118 - 1036 Completed schedule changes
1119 -
111901 - Advised Bill of solution to problem on task gh0d5, and that I will put
111902 - a copy of revised schedule on his desk.
111903 -
111904 - Decided to add the filename to the document, so there is an audit
111905 - trail back to particular source data.  The document date is always the
111906 - date the thing is printed, and so is meaningless.
111907 -
111908 -
1120 -
1121 -
1122 - 1013 called Bob Masuoka
1123 -
112301 - Left message we want to review schedule with him.  His voice mail says
112302 - he is out of the office until Monday.
112303 -
112304 - Scheduled follow up on Monday, 940919.
112305 -

1126 - 1305 Bill left a Note
1127 -
112701 - New Schedule File - 940915
112702 -
112703 - While I was attending the IBM Lan Server event, he made further
112704 - revisions to schedule, creating a new version.  Bill added a new type
112705 - of task:
112706 -
112707 -                      Plant ready for testing
112708 -
112709 -       This uncouples "plants operational" and "metering" (tasks GD3D
112710 -       and GD3P on SLO Hydro) from start of PG&E construction work
112711 -       (task GD5D) as discussed previously at ref SDS 3 line 110. The
112712 -       result is to save approximately 6 months off the projected
112713 -       completion dates for SLO Hydro and Casmalia.
112714 -
112715 -       This new "task" is a means to recognize that PG&E can start
112716 -       construction before the plants are "operational." However, it
112717 -       does not reflect that PG&E cannot complete its construction
112718 -       work, until CDWR completes its work.
112719 -
112720 -       Seems to leave open the question of when PG&E can perform work
112721 -       in the switchyards, which Bill has indicated requires about 3 or
112722 -       4 months work by CDWR to construct a bus structure.
112723 -
112724 -            [These tasks were later removed at ref SDS 4 line 95.]
112725 -
112726 -
112727 -       At the meeting with CDWR next Thursday, we need to work on
112728 -       figuring out what specific CDWR work controls the start of PG&E
112729 -       work.  This means we need to define the new task created by Bill
112730 -       today.
112731 -
112732 -
112733 - His note asks me to fax to Lori and Kevin.
112734 -
112735 -
112736 -
112737 -
1128 -
1129 -
1130 - 1350 Bill left voice message
1131 -
113101 - He asked me to call his pager.  He will not be in tomorrow or
113102 - available over the weekend.
113103 -
113104 -
1132 -
1133 -
1134 - 1614 Printed Schedule
1135 -
113501 - Reviewed Bill's changes.  Called and left message on Bill's pager.
113502 - Will fax to Kevin and Lori.
113503 -
113504 - Faxed to Lori; called and verified she received it.
113505 -
113506 - For some reason could not fax the thing to Kevin.  When I dialed his
113507 - fax number, got some kind of interrupt after dialing:
113508 -
113509 -                      972 0...
113510 -
113511 -     ...could not complete the number.
113512 -
113513 - Called Kevin and left message I will send this to him via internal
113514 - mail.
113515 -
113516 -    Did that.
