Department of Energy FY 2012 Congressional ... - The FIRE Place

08-D-802, High Explosive Pressing Facility
Pantex Plant, Amarillo, Texas
Project Data Sheet (PDS) is for Construction
1. Significant Changes
The most recent DOE O 413.3B approved Critical Decision (CD) is CD-3, Approve Start of
Construction that was approved on May 15, 2008 with a Total Project Cost (TPC) of $80,578 and CD-4
in the second quarter of FY 2011.
Latest approved Baseline Change was on January 9, 2009, with a TPC of $116,038 and CD-4 of May
2014. The project was placed on hold during FY 2009 at the completion of design activities. In
FY 2011, construction is planned to commence. This project must be rebaselined to support the
FY 2012 – FY 2016 budget process as a result of the hold and the reduction of all existing uncosted
project balances in FY 2010. A Baseline Change Proposal (BCP) will be prepared; as part of the BCP
development, a cost estimate and external independent review will be performed to ensure the project is
ready to begin construction, as well as update the project’s cost and schedule. Upon approval of the
BCP, a revised TPC and CD-4 date will be established. The current un-validated estimate is
approximately $146 million with a CD-4 in the first quarter of FY 2017. Construction funding being
requested under this data sheet is less than the baseline TEC. A request for proposals has been issued
and a construction contract should be awarded in the spring of 2011. Based on the actual contract, the
baseline will be recalculated.
A Federal Project Director at the appropriate level has been assigned to this project.
This PDS is an update of the FY 2011 PDS and reflects progress to date.
