070703 - Tom has scheduled to take home for work this evening the documents to
070704 - prepare the procurement advertisement for submission to Tom Benero on
070705 - Friday, tomorrow.  He needs a form for a prior procurement on a
070706 - similar engineering management type procurement, to use as a format
070707 - guide.
070708 -
070709 - He said Monti is trying to find the Contractor evaluation forms 2626.
070710 - I gave him copies of the evaluations by Bill DeHart for PG&E and Wayne
070711 - Wetzel for DNRC.  Tom seemed to indicate the forms do not have a lot
070712 - of room for narrative, so we may need to supplement it.
070713 -
070714 - I delivered the original of the letter to Tom Benero requesting a
070715 - contractor evaluation, ref DIP 4 line 29, since I forgot to give it to
070716 - him last week, ref SDS 32 line 94, Tom was not in, so I left it on his

080410 - for a particular document, and telling them it was faxed the day

110601 - Followed up work at ref SDS 34 line 59.
110602 -
110603 - Completed the spreadsheet analysis at ref DRP 2 line 407.
110604 -
110605 - Saw Max and Marc briefly while waiting for Tom to return to his
110606 - office.  They were on a break from a meeting with the Port, and were
110607 - assembling information on Dutra's production, to support the meeting.
110608 -
110609 - Max advised that the DB #24 is on the job now along with the Paula
110610 - Lee.  He feels they have not yet recouped their schedule dificit
110611 - reported last week, although that did not consider weather.  I showed
110612 - Max briefly the analysis of Dutra's schedule submission on 961213, ref
110613 - DRP 2 line 862.

110617 - COE Commissions Another Survey
110618 - Payments to Dutra May Have Been Excessive
110619 -
110620 - Max advised that COE has commissioned another survey of the project.
110621 - This will assess the impact of recent severe inclement weather that
110622 - will produce more shoaling, as analysed in the spreadsheet at ref DRP
110623 - 2 line 898.
110624 -
110625 - Max is also concerned that Dutra has been overpaid because payments
110626 - have reflected scow yardage rather than accurate survey yardage, per
110627 - analyis of columns e and f in Dutra's Exhibit VIII in its 961213
110628 - schedule submission, ref DRP 2 line 963. Evidently Dutra is doing some
110629 - surveys, which seem open to question.

110639 - V - VIII, and explained findings of significant errors in contractor's
110640 - quanitity calculations reviewed on 970202. ref SDS 33 8499
110641 -
110642 - I asked about the status of G&B's spreadsheet analysis discussed on
110643 - 961219, ref SDS 11 8799?
110644 -
110645 - Tom advised he is working on a new assignment now to implement
110646 - automated management in the District.  He said Marc is working with
110647 - Rick Oleniczak at G&B, and so Tom is unaware of the status on the
110648 - spreadsheet.
110649 - ..
110650 - Tom plans to provide the spreadsheet analysis submitted today of
110651 - Dutra's Exhibits V - VIII, to Marc McGovern for follow up.

120406 - Marc advised that UPRR has requested changes in Dutra's Open Cut
120407 - construction plan for the Navy Sewer Line.  He has advised that UPRR
120408 - has strongly endorsed this approach.  I gathered Marc understands that
120409 - Dale Adams, the railroad yard manager, has indicated a willingness to
120410 - provide larger blocks of continuous time to make this approach more
120411 - practical. Joel Adams is on an emergency project in the Feather River
120412 - area. Someone else in Stockton is managing the project for UPRR
