141304 - per Tom's request this morning at ref SDS 14 4829.
141305 -
141306 - This memo applies ideas developed on 970418 for Communication Metrics
141307 - to support Project Management, ref SDS 12 1980.  It includes the scope
141308 - of services reviewed with Max on 970403 for Communication Metrics to
141309 - support the Richmond project, the CSB and provide litigation support
141310 - on the Oakland Harbor project, ref SDS 7 5988, ref SDS 7 8822, going
141311 - back to meeing on 961216. ref SDS 2 5555   It could address Max's
141312 - concern about compensation in the meeting on 970404, ref SDS 8 5562.
141313 - ..
141314 - The memo applies understandings from meeting on 970417 where
141315 - Luster proposed using Paragon in place of or to supplement RMS.
141316 - Luster was unable to explain and show how Paragon adds or materially
141317 - supplements RMS.  Therefore, Tom recommends in this memo that Luster's
141318 - work should be to support implementation of RMS, since RMS is mandated
141319 - by USACE HQ, ref SDS 10 line 146.
141320 -
141321 -     [On 970911 USACE HQ requires use of RMS, ref SDS 19 0000.]
141322 -
141323 - It provides litigation support, ref OF 7 line 131, requested by Merry
141324 - on 970404, ref SDS 8 5833, and on 970417, ref SDS 11 9004, and
141325 - discussed with Tom Keesling on 970418. ref SDS 12 2005
141326 -
141327 - It provides support for Herb Cheong on Oakland, which he requested in
141328 - his memo dated 970407, ref OF 9 line 74.
141329 -
141330 - The memo does not cite Max's concern on subcontracting Communication
141331 - Metrics to the AE which nominally impairs accountability, ref SDS 7
141332 - line 199.
141333 -
141334 - This initial memo opens the door for the CBD procurement, but COE
141335 - actually needs immediate support.  If DE accepts the objective, then
141336 - the organization may well be able to issue an expedited procurement.
141337 -
