161603 - Followed up work at ref SDS 44 line 144.

161605 - Tom said he talked to Max after the meeting this morning and advised
161606 - that he will not have enough time to prepare a procurement to hire
161607 - Welch to assist John with Oakland claim management.
161608 -
161609 -     [See follow up meeting with Max ref SDS 45 line 166.]
161610 -
161611 - We considered briefly our discussion this morning when Tom had
161612 - indicated he could provide some support for this task, based his prior
161613 - work developing the procurement to extend the Welch contract, ref SDS
161614 - 10 line 56.  Since John has not worked previously with Communication
161615 - Metrics, it will be difficult for him to understand what this method
161616 - entails and how it can help him, per Tom's observation in the meeting
161617 - with Tom Benero and Herb Cheong on 961101, ref SDS 6 line 149.

161621 - Sole Source Procurement Arrangements
161622 -
161623 - Tom advised of concerns this procurement effort will encounter on the
161624 - sole source issue with the result that getting it through legal and
161625 - contracting will take a long time and may wind up unsuccessful, as
161626 - occurred the last time, ref SDS 13 line 102.
161627 -
161628 - We considered meeting with John Eft to develop language that is
161629 - acceptable to meet District requirements for immediate support using
161630 - Communication Metrics.  Tom indicated he and John Azeveda could meet
161631 - with John Eft on this matter, per analysis at ref SDS 12 line 190.
161632 -
161633 - We discussed the idea of requesting that Marcus Tikotsky prepare the
161634 - procurement, since he worked with Tom Benero on the last Welch
161635 - procurement and advised of ideas on how to prepare it properly to meet
161636 - the concerns raised by John Eft, ref SDS 18 line 792.  Marcus
161637 - indicated he had a solution on this matter, ref SDS 15 line 356.

162006 -
162007 -     [See follow up meeting with Max ref SDS 45 line 115.]
162008 -
162009 - We discussed Tom's heavy schedule in PPMD with implementing automated
162010 - management and the excessive time required previously to develop a
162011 - Welch procurement. Will discuss this tomorrow in the meeting with
162012 - John.
