1209 - Subject/Objective
1210 -
121001 - Followed up work at ref SDS 11 line 46, ref SDS 9 line 53, r
121002 - line 41, ref SDS 5 line 39.
121003 -
121004 - Bill said the situation at Sprint has improved.  Bechtel did a better
121005 - job of communicating this week.
121006 -
121007 - Bill indicated that Sprint management at this time wants to use
121008 - Bechtel for Construction Management on the remaining 100 sites, rather
121009 - than take over this function themselves, per ref SDS 11 line 66.
121010 -
121011 - The Sprint manager Bill has in mind for me to meet is on vacation next
121012 - week.  He will try to set up a meeting the following week.
121013 -
121014 - We considered the following ideas to present at the meeting:
121015 -
121016 -    •  Sprint hire Welch as Communication Manager to support the
121017 -       project, per example at DNRC, ref SDS 1 line 109, PG&E, ref SDS
121018 -       2 line 150, and the Corps of Engineers, ref SDS 4 line 107.
121019 -
121020 -       This will give Sprint increased command and control of the work
121021 -       and will improve Bechtel's performance so the actual work meets
121022 -       cost, schedule and quality objectives.
121023 -
121024 -    •  Sprint ask Bechtel to hire Welch as Communication Manager.
121025 -
121026 -    •  Sprint ask PG&E to hire Welch as Communication Manager as a way
121027 -       to accomplish Communication Metrics without appearing to impose
121028 -       it on Bechtel.
121029 -
121030 -       This will produce useful business intelligence for Sprint and
121031 -       the project team, per experience at Corps of Engineers, ref SDS
121032 -       3 line 214 and at ref SDS 3 line 351.  It avoids making the
121033 -       process subject to Bechtel's leadership, which could result in
121034 -       bad faith performance or poor usage due to ignorance, fear and
121035 -       denial, with consequent reduction in the amount of needed
121036 -       business intelligence.
