060701 - Communication Metrics Evaluation, Input from COE Managers
060702 -
060703 - Followed up work at ref SDS 24 line 345, ref SDS 18 line 219.
060704 -
060705 - Received from Tom this morning edits from Max and from Herb who
060706 - submitted an evaluation letter dated 970317, ref SDS 25 line 330. He
060707 - had no corrections or additions to the explanation of using
060708 - Communication Metrics on the Oakland project.
060709 -
060710 - Max has an edit on page 2 concerning Dutra's experinece dredging hard
060711 - material on the Air Station Deepening project.  I added this
060712 - clarificaiton at ref OF 4 line 223.
060713 -
060714 - I want to use the scope of services on Richmond Task Order 2 to define
060715 - Requirements for Communication Metrics, and the qualifications of a
060716 - Communication Manager, so we have to nail this down.
060717 -
060718 - Need to draft a memo for Herb, per his letter, ref DRP 10 line 25.
060719 -
060720 -     He said Welch is hard working, and that his mentoring and briefing
060721 -     helped him get acquainted with the project when he was assigned,
060722 -     ref DRP 10 line 25.
060723 -
060724 -          Herb does not state that Welch was also a newly assigned team
060725 -          member, and it was using Communication Metrics in capturing
060726 -          the details of the work and the history that permitted the
060727 -          mentoring to occur.
060728 -
060729 -     We need to identify the context of the Oakland project that
060730 -     required an extradinory effort to hold the Oakland Harbor project
060731 -     together.
060732 -
060733 -     Herb recommends that the Communication Manager limit involvement
060734 -     at meetings with the Contractor and the Port to taking notes, and
060735 -     to ask questions through the ACO or CO, since his questions
060736 -     offended the Contractor and the sponsor, ref DRP 10 line 30.  We
060737 -     need to cite his strong endorsement of Welch's handling of
060738 -     meetings, as at ref SDS 3 line 105.
060739 -
060740 -     Herb recommends less voluminous notes because they take time to
060741 -     review and this limits the time to prepare comments and
060742 -     corrections.  He feels all comments should be incorporated into
060743 -     the notes as was done on Oakland, but he is concerned that if the
060744 -     notes are long, then there is not time enough to accomplish
060745 -     thorough review, suggesting that thorough notes stymie thorough
060746 -     review.  He wants notes condensed to one page, ref DRP 10 line 35,
060747 -     as was done on Oakland.
060748 -
060749 -     Herb wants Welch to take notes at his meetings with the Port on
060750 -     the Oakland job.
060751 -
060752 - Began preparing ref OF 5 line 30 as an internal memo to constructively
060753 - express Herb's ideasl and evaluation.
