061206 - Advised Tito of discussions, asked if he wants to join in a
061207 - conference call on this. Tito said he will rely on my SDS notes of the

061210 -

0621 -
0622 -
0623 - 1540 Lori called back
0624 -
062401 - We reviewed the notes of the meeting on 941208, beginning at ref SDS 4
062402 - line 99.
062403 -
062404 - Corrected misspelling of Lonnie Essig's name at ref SDS 4 line 109.
062405 - Explained that after receiving the list of attendees, ref SDS 6 line
062406 - 35, I corrected the names.
062407 - ..
062408 - On the explanation of "Summary Schedule" at ref SDS 4 line 390,
062409 - Lori requested clarification of "executive review."  I changed this to
062410 - indicate the Summary enables Lori to explain the schedule to the
062411 - Project Team.
062412 - ..
062413 - Under "Coordination TL and Pipeline Construction" Lori asked
062414 - that following be revised:
062415 -
062416 -     Lonnie said the contractor has been "dragging his feet" on
062417 -     restoring the plan grades after the pipe is layed and backfilled.
062418 -     He advised that CDWR has directed the contractor to submit a plan
062419 -     for removal of excess spoil.
062420 -
062421 -  ...she feels "dragging his feet" which Lonnie said, should be
062422 -  presented less directly.  Changed this explanation at ref SDS 4 line
062423 -  427:
062424 -
062425 -      Lonnie said the contractor has not met the scheduled progress on
062426 -      restoring plan grades after the pipe is layed and backfilled.
062427 -      Lonnie advised that CDWR has directed the contractor to submit a
062428 -      plan for removal of excess spoil.
062429 -
062430 - ..
062431 - Lori asked who within CDWR indicated the Control Room design
062432 - would be submitted to PG&E by 941231, as shown in the notes at
062433 - ref SDS 4 0571?
062434 -
062435 -      As we talked, I opened the reference at that location in the
062436 -      notes.  It showed that Om Lakhotia indicated this to Jivat during
062437 -      the Progress Meeting on 941005, ref SDS 1 UFSS, as shown in
062438 -      Action Item 8 of that meeting. ref SDS 1 I88M
062439 -
062440 -      I mentioned to Lori Jivat's comments on the Notes of the 941208
062441 -      Meeting Notes, that PG&E is not being delayed in designing the
062442 -      Transfer Trip, by not having the plans of the Control Building,
062443 -      reported on 941209. ref SDS 7 K34N  I am confused a bit by this,
062444 -      and have a call in to Jivat (he is out today).  But in any case,
062445 -      Jivat is indicating his engineering is not delayed by not having
062446 -      the layout of the Control Room.
062447 -
062448 -
062449 -  ..
062450 - Valve System Power
062451 -
062452 - I also mentioned Jivat has given a preliminary report on investigat-
062453 - ing whether the transfer trip system is needed to provide power at SLO
062454 - Hydro, rather than receive power, as contemplated in the original
062455 - scheme.  There seems to be a possibility the transfer trip system
062456 - would not be needed under these changed conditions, as reported on
062457 - 941209. ref SDS 5 GW4I
062458 - ..
062459 - Under "Access of Delivery Trucks" Lori wants to change:
062460 -        ..
062461 -        Ed Hills said there are procedures being used by the pipe
062462 -        contractor for escorting trucks into areas outside the lizard
062463 -        fence. Deliveries within the protection fence do not require
062464 -        rigorous procedures.
062465 -                ^
062466 - ...to:
062467 -
062468 -        Ed Hills said there are procedures being used by the pipe
062469 -        contractor for escorting trucks into areas outside the lizard
062470 -        fence. Deliveries within the protection fence do not require
062471 -        rigorous escorting procedures.

0627 - 1625 Kevin called back
0628 -
062801 - He left a message returning my call.
062802 -
062803 - I called him back and advised there are no substantive changes in
062804 - meeting notes; I will submit this record to him tomorrow.  Mentioned
062805 - Lori wants to complete review of the Schedule Notes tomorrow oa 0730.
062806 - ..
062807 - Kevin will call Lori tomorrow oa 0730 to set up the conference
062808 - call on reviewing the Schedule Notes.
062809 -
062810 - I mentioned Jivat's comment on 941209 about possibility of not needing
062811 - transfer trip. ref SDS 5 GW4I

130802 - SLO Hydro Schedule Propose Planning Meeting
130803 -
130804 - Lori and I considered the advantages of having a meeting to analyse
130805 - the SLO Hydro schedule delay mentioned in the meeting at ref SDS 4
130806 - line 267.
130807 -
130808 - I explained I added Action Item #4 for CDWR to submit contractor's
130809 - quantities and schedule to PG&E so an independent analysis can be made
130810 - on progress to support any meeting that might occur with CDWR.  The
130811 - meeting planned for January with Lonnie Essig, may address this
130812 - matter, but it really needs to be done as soon as possible, so we can
130813 - identify the ramifications of the change.
130814 -
130815 - The meeting in January is not yet set.  It most likely will occur in
130816 - late January, if at all, with the result that PG&E is going to start
130817 - spending money and once that starts, there is going to be greater
130818 - concern about modifying schedules.  Therefore, it is advantageous to
130819 - get as much planning done in advance of start of construction as
130820 - possible.

161001 - Lori asked about showing the bar for task 71, which is
161002 -
161003 -               GH0D  CDWR Hydro Plant X-fer Trip
161004 -
161005 -    ...to carry bar out to Feb 1, 1996, since that is the completion
161006 -    date for this part of PG&E's contract.
161007 - ..
161008 - I explained that initially scheduling independently of CDWR's
161009 - work, by assuming CDWR will construct interface features of its other
161010 - contracts, so they are available at the time PG&E's work progresses in
161011 - the ordinary course of construction at an economic pace.
161012 -
161013 - In this case, PG&E would not elect to complete its work in winter, if
161014 - it can reasonably be avoided, and the schedule permits this, provided
161015 - CDWR's work is ready when needed.
161016 -
161017 -
161018 - She wants task Transfer Trip to not mention NLT Aug 11, 1995.
