0707 - Summary/Objective
0708 -
070801 - Followed up work at ref SDS 12 line 57.  Completed a first draft of
070802 - the schedule file 941121 which has the revisions based on discussions
070803 - with Buck and Randy yesterday, showing alternate scenarios for comple-
070804 - tion if Relocation phase is exempt from GO 131-D, and if it is not
070805 - exempt.
070806 -
070807 - Was unable to review with Buck and Randy, as planned, per record at
070808 - ref SDS 13 line 60.
070809 -
070810 - Incorporated review comments from Bill in the mornning.  These files,
070811 - 941121a and 941121b, were submitted to Bill at COB for review of
070812 - Notes and other matters over the long Thanksgiving Day weekend.
070813 -
070814 -
0709 -
0710 -
0711 - Progress
0712 -
071201 - Added Land tasks to support EMF analysis, and other activities
071202 - requested by Pam and Glenn.
071203 -
071204 - In the morning, printed and reviewed with Bill the results of
071205 - schedule file 941121.
071206 -
071207 - The results of this review were applied to schedule files 941121a and
071208 - 941121b. in order to show the schedule in the event the entire
071209 - project is exempt from GO 131-D, and the alternative, if it is not
071210 - exempt.  Considerable effort was needed to conform the alternate
071211 - schedule, file 941121b, to insure the only difference is that of GO
071212 - 131-D exemption.
071213 -
071214 - Entered more Notes to explain the scope and intent of schedule
071215 - activities.
071216 -
071217 - At end of day, printed schedules for both scenarios and submitted to
071218 - Bill so he can review and advise, especially on the Notes.
071219 -
071220 -
0713 -
0714 -
0715 - 0857 Reviewed with Bill
0716 -
071601 - Decided on a few changes.  Make construction of reconductor follow
071602 - relocation, instead of being concurrent.
071603 -
071604 -      Bill said we should initially look at the schedule based on
071605 -      sequencing construction so there are adequate resources (labor
071606 -      and equipment) to insure Relocation is completed prior to 960701,
071607 -      in order to maximize chance of getting GO 131-D exemption.
071608 -
071609 -      I made this change.
071610 -
071611 -
071612 - Pulled filing for GO 131-D exemption task to begin week of 941128,
071613 - as indicated by Buck yesterday.
071614 -
071615 - Bill said Chris said the Justification for Project Approval does not
071616 - require the EMF analysis from Engineering.  Made this change.
071617 -
071618 -
071619 - Bill called and reviewed schedule with Pam and Glenn.
071620 -
071621 -    They indicated that if GO 131-D exemption is denied for Relocation
071622 -    work, we have to file with FERC, Sierra's letter agreeing to pay
071623 -    in advance of having a contract, and then wait until they approve
071624 -    that procedure in order to authorize Buck to do the GO 131-D
071625 -    process work.  This is needed in order for PG&E to receive
071626 -    payments from Sierra.
071627 -
071628 -    They said the FERC filing of the Sierra contract will require 3
071629 -    months to get approval.  I made this task JH and gave it a 2 week
071630 -    approval.
071631 -
071632 -         Pam called back and left message for Bill that the task will
071633 -         require 3 months, but that PG&E will proceed using $100K of
071634 -         funding from Transmission System.
071635 -
071636 -
071637 -    Similarly, we have scheduled the Engineering, task PD, to be
071638 -    dependent upon receiving the pre-contract payment agreement from
071639 -    Sierra.  It actually seems to be dependant upon FERC approval of
071640 -    the Agreement, the new task JH, rather mere receipt of the
071641 -    Agreement.
071642 -
071643 -
071644 -    They indicated the FERC filing CPUC 851 task JD is not needed
071645 -    under either scenario.
071646 -
071647 -        I deleted this task from both schedules.
071648 -
071649 -
071650 -  ..
0717 -
0718 -
0719 - 1345 called Pam
0720 -
072001 - Asked about the completion date of receiving the Pre-Contract
072002 - payment agreement from Sierra.
072003 -
072004 - She said this is really only a weeks work.  She wants to review the
072005 - schedule and then decide whether to do this.  We will meet next week
072006 - to do a schedule review after Randy and Buck have reviewed it.
072007 -
072008 - My sense is that we should try to get the pre-payment authority from
072009 - Sierra as a hedge against anything else coming up that we do know
072010 - about that could delay finalizing the contract.
