080505 - line 117, as set out below.
080506 -
080507 - Project status issues included:
080508 -
080509 -    a.  The Production report on "Hard Digging" for the period ending
080510 -        961110 was not distributed.
080511 -

080513 -
080514 -    c.  Paula Lee is working in IC1-B-2, 3,4,5.  It was about 90%
080515 -        complete when this work resumed this past week.  Jack Fink

080524 -
080525 -    f.  Testing results have not shown the cause of failed tests
080526 -        reported on effluent at Galbraith.  Testing has not shown that
080527 -        any substance at Todd and/or Schnitzer Wings, nor that any work
080528 -        activity in these areas has caused failed tests of effluent at
080529 -        Galbraith.  Dutra has not submitted its methodology for doing
080530 -        the work specified in RFP #19, contrary to a direction to
080531 -        proceed, ref DIP 4 line 78.
080532 -
080533 -    g.  Discharge of decant water at Galbraith is stopped pending
080534 -        further notice so that substances which may be causing failed
080535 -        tests of effluent can settle out of the water.  Enhanced
080536 -        reporting procedures will be followed when work resumes, per
080537 -        RWQCB Abatement Order 96-148 attached to the Port's memo dated

261302 - Port Inquires about Understandings from Weekly Progress Meetings
261303 -
261304 - Gail Staba asked about procedures to prepare notes of weekly Progress
261305 - Meetings.  Gail said that errors in the notes "misrepresent" what she
261306 - has said at prior meetings.
261307 -
261308 - The project has been underway for approximately 2 years.  Gail was
261309 - asked what is incorrect?  She could not recall nor cite any specific
261310 - errors in the notes.  No one else recalled specific errors in the
261311 - notes.
261312 -
261313 -      [On 981027 accuracy of record established. ref SDS 29 7315]
261314 -
261315 -  ..
261316 - The notes are typically reviewed by 2 - 3 people prior to submission
261317 - to the Contractor.  From 10 - 12 people within COE and the Port of
261318 - Oakland have the opportunity to review the notes prior to submission
261319 - to the Contractor each week.  Typically notes are available for review
261320 - on Thursday and issued to the Contractor on Friday.  This past week
261321 - that timing could not be followed due to increased business activity
261322 - on Galbraith issues.  The notes were issued Monday morning for review,
261323 - and published later in the afternoon after review by COE.  There was
261324 - no response from the Port.
261325 -
261326 -  ..
261327 - Gail has previously provided corrections which have been entered in
261328 - the record issued to the Contractor. (e.g., 961004 - ref SDS 2 3758)
261329 - COE has requested that the Port submit written material to support its
261330 - oral presentations at meetings.  Gail did this at the meeting last
261331 - week and the Port's memo was entered in the record issued to the
261332 - Contractor. ref SDS 12 7494
261333 -
261334 -  ..
261335 - Bob Johnston recalled that Dutra reported errors in record for COE
261336 - meetings with the contractor.  Today, Bob did not cite any specific
261337 - errors; however, at the meeting on 961015 Bob reported that the record
261338 - of the meeting on 961009 omitted important remarks by Marc McGovern,
261339 - ref SDS 4 1217.  These remarks were added to complete the record.  Bob
261340 - reported at the meeting on 961022 that COE meeting notes were
261341 - improved. ref SDS 5 8559
261342 -
261343 -  ..
261344 - COE serial letter #0010 dated 961028 was given to the Contractor at
261345 - the Progress Meeting on 961029, ref SDS 6 0919.  It says that notes
261346 - for the Progress Meeting on 961015 reflect COE procedures to ensure
261347 - accurate understandings with the Contractor, ref SDS 4 1755.  COE
261348 - procedures require Dutra to make timely notice of errors it finds in
261349 - communications from COE.  Complaining [of misunderstandings] after
261350 - actions are taken causes harm which COE holds is avoidable and thus
261351 - the responsibility of Dutra. ref DIP 2 8456
261352 -
261353 -  ..
261354 - Dutra has not submitted any corrections to notes on Gail's work nor of
261355 - understandings from her comments at weekly Progress Meetings as
261356 - reflected in the notes.

261360 - Not Enough Time to Read; Port Suggests Stenographic Record
261361 -
261362 - There was consideration of the Port using the "metrics" COE has
261363 - directed the Contractor to use under serial letter #0010, by notifying
261364 - COE of any misunderstandings the Port believes require correction. see
261365 - ref DIP 2 8456
261366 -
261367 - Gail indicated today that she does not have enough time to read the
261368 - record nor to submit comments on meetings with the Contractor.
261369 -
261370 -      [Gail requested the full notes the following week, after only
261371 -      only the Executive Summary, ref SDS 23 7288.]

261374 -      Oakland Harbor project, ref SDS 27 6288.]
261375 -
261376 -  ..
261377 - There was no discussion of how errors are discovered without reading
261378 - the record, and why errors that are noted during reading cannot be
261379 - sent to COE, if corrections are warranted.
261380 -
261381 - Gail asked if the Port can use a stenographer to ensure her remarks
261382 - are accurately captured?
261383 -
261384 -      [See follow up where meetings were tape recorded as of OA 970324,
261385 -      per ref SDS 28 line 137.]
261386 -
261387 -  ..
261388 - There was no discussion of the time required to read and correct
261389 - stenographic records to ensure accuracy, nor that verbatim transcripts
261390 - are ponderous to apply in daily management because there is no
261391 - structure that reflects the organization of the work.  Critical
261392 - details are hard to find in stenographic records.  COE is using
261393 - Communication Metrics to support daily management in capturing and
261394 - applying critical details, as explained in the notes of the meeting
261395 - last week. ref SDS 12 4822
261396 -

261398 - There is no evidence of material error in the project record issued to
261399 - the contractor by USACE, as seen from the discussion today.

261424 - Port Requests Streamlined Procedures Using Simple Summaries
261425 -
261426 - Rob Andrews suggested that COE streamline procedures for reporting
261427 - results of meetings.  He suggested that the Port receive a simple
261428 - summary of meetings rather than the full record of understandings.
261429 -
261430 - Executive Summaries that include Action Items are submitted with each
261431 - set of meeting notes.  Line numbers that precede items in the summary
261432 - are keyed into the detailed notes.  Executives and specialists, like
261433 - Rob and Gail, can focus on particular topics, as well as grasp the
261434 - entire meeting, without reading the entire record all at once.

261443 - Rob stated that COE is not giving the Port adequate participation in
261444 - Project Management.  He requested participation in business meetings
261445 - with the Contractor on matters like updating the progress schedule and
261446 - reviewing pending Action Items.
261447 -
261448 -     [Later in the day, the Port participated in meetings on Action
261449 -     Items, ref SDS 16 0000, and on updating the Schedule. ref SDS 17

261451 -
261452 - Rob expressed concern about COE personnel and business procedures over
261453 - the course of the project.

261455 -     [See email by Tom White on this point, ref SDS 20 line 100.]
261456 -
261457 -  ..
261458 - Marc McGovern suggested these concerns should be directed to COE in a
261459 - separate forum to support updating the Project Management Plan. He
261460 - advised that this is a working meeting with the Contractor where COE
261461 - intends to convey and hear information on progress, work requirements
261462 - and compliance with the contract.

261464 -     [See POO's letter received on 970110, ref SDS 26 line 333, and ref

261466 -
261467 -  ..
261468 - Contractor Reports Missing Executive Summaries/Action Items
261469 -
261470 - Bob Johnston recalled that Dutra has not received Executive Summaries
261471 - and Action Items published with COE meeting notes.
261472 -
261473 - Tom White recalled that COE issues these summaries to Dutra weekly,
261474 - along with the detailed notes, for the reasons cited by Rob today on
261475 - the benefit of summarizing complex meetings.
261476 -
261477 - The record for the meeting on 961029 was issued to Dutra at the
261478 - meeting on 961101, and they included the Executive Summary and Action
261479 - Items. ref SDS 7 4781

261493 - Contractor Inquires about COE Serial Letter Number Sequencing
261494 -
261495 - Bob Johnston reported Dutra is confused about different sequencing in
261496 - the numbering of COE serial letters.
261497 -
261498 - Serial numbers uniquely identify communications and permit citing the
261499 - record, as occurs in notes of weekly Progress Meetings. COE
261500 - Contracting Division has a four digit number and the Construction
261501 - Division uses a three digit number.  Confusion may arise if a citation
261502 - to a particular serial letter appears not to reflect the context of
261503 - the citation source.  COE serial letter #0010 dated 961028 requires
261504 - Dutra to notify COE of errors it perceives in the record, ref DIP 2
261505 - line 67, as further conveyed in the notes of the 951015 Progress
261506 - Meeting, ref SDS 4 line 181.

340928 - of Dutra moving the Liberty Unloader to another project.  Serial
340929 - letter #107 states in part:
340930 -
340931 -      Your contract plan, "Pipeline Installation Plan - San Leandro Bay
340932 -      Option Galbraith Disposal Site", states in paragraph No. 1 that
340933 -      "The Unloading Platform will remain in this location and
340934 -      configuration for the duration of Galbraith operations, including
340935 -      the six month delay period between dredging phases". Therefore,
340936 -      demobilizing the Liberty Unloader is inconsistent with this
340937 -      contract plan, which has been approved by the Corps of Engineers
340938 -      and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. This is a key piece
340939 -      of equipment required to complete Bid Item No. 0006, and
340940 -      demobilization of this equipment is inconsistent with the
340941 -      approved plan and violates the terms of your contract.
340942 -      ..
340943 -      A Cure Notice will be issued to you in the event you do not
340944 -      perform the work in reference to Bid Item No. 0006, as approved
340945 -      in your "Pipeline Installation Plan".
340946 -

340948 - adequately reflected in updating Dutra's schedule.

340974 -
340975 - Since Dutra has not completed submission of information required to

340977 - entire activity needs to be re-scheduled.
340978 -
