0712 - Discussion
0713 -
071301 - Bill will recommend to Chris that PG&E fund another $15K from the CDWR
071302 - budget for half of Welch's time to the end of the year.  He feels this
071303 - is necessary for the reasons reviewed on 940928. ref SDS 14 0899, and
071304 - also the evaluation on 941004. ref SDS 16 4920
071305 -
071306 -     Bill said SDS is very helpful as set out in his to Chris on
071307 -     940927. ref DRP 2 0001
071308 -
071309 - We considered proposing to Chris that Transmission System apply SDS to
071310 - support other project managers to obtain another $15K, so there is a
071311 - total of $30K to finance SDS support within Transmission System to the
071312 - end of the year.  Since Mike Emery has expressed interest on 940824 in
071313 - using SDS, his projects might be a source of additional funds (see the
071314 - record at ref SDS 3 9668).
071315 -
071316 -     The fact that the budget is increased, does not require that it be
071317 -     expended (see Welch proposal of Jul 26, 1994 p. 5 under "Time of
071318 -     Performance" which states this is "...as needed" by PG&E,
071319 -     ref DIP 1 line 514).  Welch is working pursuant to specific
071320 -     requests, so if Mike or any other project manager chooses not to
071321 -     use SDS sup- port, due to budget or other reasons, including
071322 -     simply personal preference, PG&E is not obligated to pay Welch the
071323 -     budgeted limit.
071324 -
071325 -         Objectives and Metrics
071326 -
071327 -         See also understandings from initial meeting with PG&E at ref
071328 -         SDS 1 line 110, further clarified in meeting with Kent Hea and
071329 -         Bill and Cynthia at ref SDS 2 line 153.
071330 -
071331 -
071332 -     Our objective is to provide PG&E PMs a budget that can be used as
071333 -     needed for support through the end of the year, without having to
071334 -     write more change orders.
071335 -
071336 - Chris is best positioned to make this call.  If he would like, Bill
071337 - and I can discuss with other PM's their interests and budget
071338 - availability for SDS, and report back to Chris for a decision.
071339 -
071340 - I asked about providing support and migrating SDS outside Transmis-
071341 - sion System.  Bill feels that for now the best strategy is to keep
071342 - SDS within Transmission System, except he feels SDS would be ideal
071343 - for PG&E's Contract Management department, where Kevin Coffee works.
071344 -
071345 -     Another candidate might be the Land Department, since Bob Masuoka
071346 -     feels SDS has been helpful to him, ref SDS 15 line 502. The whole
071347 -     area of environmental requirements is evolving and so SDS provides
071348 -     a good way to manage that evolution to PG&E's advantage.
071349 -
071350 -     The PG&E building restoration project on Market street that Dean
071351 -     Menitkas was managing is another place where PG&E could likely use
071352 -     SDS, since Dean has left the company and a new PM is now assigned.
071353 -     Those are situations were greater support is helpful.
071354 -
071355 -         Dean had intended to attend the initial SDS presentation for
071356 -         PG&E, but missed it, ref SDS 1 line 89.
071357 -
071358 - For now, Bill wants to keep SDS within Transmission System, but he
071359 - still seems open to discussing with Kevin Coffee the prospects of
071360 - applying SDS.
071361 -
071362 - He plans to meet with Chris around 1000 tomorrow, although that may
071363 - change depending upon Chris' schedule.
