151701 - Followed up work at ref SDS 9 line 47, ref SDS 8 line 20, re
151702 - line 72, ref SDS 5 line 49, ref SDS 3 line 82.
151703 -
151704 - Examined plan sheet 14 on Dutra's contract drawings, showing the
151705 - original contract called for dredging hard and soft material in the
151706 - same polygons.

152101 - Tom will try to locate page 7 of Amend 0001, per ref SDS 2 line 122.

152103 -       [On 961002 received missing doc. ref SDS 13 8339.]
152104 -
152105 - He used 540 CD for evaluating the contractor's claim, because that is
152106 - the number of work days indicated by the Contractor's submittals
152107 - showing production and scheduling.
152108 -
152109 -      Possibly the 540 CD reflects that the contractor is working 20
152110 -      hour days, i.e., 3 shifts.
152111 -
152112 - When we did the Action Item report (below, under training), Tom
152113 - noticed some of the questions I have developed about Dutra's proposals
152114 - for the Corps' RFPs, including its approach of using a uniform
152115 - production rate of 60K SF per work day, ref SDS 8 line 319, and
152116 - proposing a lump sum amount for a contract that was bid under unit
152117 - prices, ref SDS 9 line 89, ref SDS 9 line 125, ref SDS 6

Action Items

1805 -
180501 - SDS on Tom's Computer
180502 -
180503 - I showed Tom that SDS is on his computer, following up work at ref SDS
180504 - 10 line 68.  He opened it using his USER ID, TFK.  I suggested he use
180505 - F3 instead of <Entr> so we avoid archiving my records on his machine.
180506 -
180507 - I explained that these are my records but on his computer they are
180508 - called his records, so we have an easy direct way to provide a body of
180509 - daily information he can use without having to differentiate between
180510 - Welch and Keating.  There is not enough memory on his computer to
180511 - create a duplicate set under both our names, which was the original
180512 - idea.  This approach allows him to begin using the records without
180513 - having to focus on learning data entry procedures, as discussed with
180514 - Bill DeHart last week, ref SDS 4 line 95.
180515 -
180516 - I did not have time to update his SDS records this morning.
180517 -
180518 - We did a few reports, including document log and Subjects.  He saw how
180519 - I am tracking Action Items in some of the Diary records we examined,
180520 - per our Agreement at ref SDS 1 line 106.
180521 -
180522 -
180523 -     Action Items
180524 -
180525 -     Initially, Tom asked what the solid lines are for in the middle
180526 -     of an SDS record.
180527 -
180528 -     I explained they reflect a perceived need to follow up on
180529 -     something, either to verify that work is performed, or to ask
180530 -     question.  They are part of the SDS Action Item system.  The easy
180531 -     way to flag the item is with color coding.
180532 -
180533 -     We then did an Action Item report from the Schedule.  This listed
180534 -     among other things, the various questions I have developed in
180535 -     reviewing the Dutra RFP proposals.
180536 -
180537 -     We then did an Action Item report on just the Oakland project, and
180538 -     it listed only Action Items on that project, so that the system
180539 -     provides a variety of ways to list Action Items.
180540 -
180541 -
180542 - Document Log
180543 -
180544 - We did a document Log and I showed where documents received from the
180545 - contractor and the RFPs issued by COE are on the computer.
180546 -
180547 - Showed how he can open the underlying SDS record by clicking in the
180548 - primary document date field.  He can open the document itself by
180549 - clicking in the Description field.
180550 -
180551 - We also accessed some generic documents like the contract and the
180552 - various correspondence from within some SDS records, so Tom could see
180553 - how the system ties everything together.

1904 -
190401 - Follow up work at ref SDS 10 line 99.  I explained the difficulty
190402 - getting the mouse to be recognized by SDS.  I will work on this in
190403 - the afternoon after Tom leaves, within the next few days.
190404 -
190405 - Today, I showed how he can use cursor arrow keys and tab key to move
190406 - the cursor and the pg up and pg dn keys to scroll the screen.

200402 -
200403 - I asked about submitting an invoice.  He said the 20th of the month is
200404 - the cut-off date for invoicing on service contracts like I have
200405 - entered with COE.  He said to submit the invoice to him on the 20th,
200406 - and it is usually processed for payment within 10 days.
