2.3.3 Recommendations 1. Include off-project labor (e.g. physicists) access to review the man-power resource estimates. 2. Consider the suggested increase in software man-power to meet the presented schedule. 3. The Committee recommends CD-1 approval. 18
3. CONVENTIONAL FACILITIES 3.1 Findings The project team developed a conceptual design for the site and building at the proposed Ash River site. The site was selected as the best of five proposed sites. Preliminary borings were completed at the site and additional geotechnical borings are planned. A bottoms-up estimate was prepared by the project team. The contingency was assigned using guidance from the DOE cost estimating guide. The schedule was developed by the project team but does not reflect the recent decision to use a design build contract strategy. An Architect/Engineer (AE) will be used to evaluate the schedule and prepare an independent cost estimate. Value Engineering studies were conducted for the roof structure and the aisle access. The AE will perform additional studies of the secondary containment and the cut and fill optimization. An AE will be used to prepare the 30 percent design package. The schedule shows the 30 percent design starting in October 2006, with an expected completion in January 2007. DOE plans to award a cooperative agreement with a third-party to award and cooperatively manage the design build contract for the facility. The risk assessment was documented in the CDR. 3.2 Comments Evaluation and selection of the preferred site (Ash River) and alternative site (Orr-Buyk) was based on a sound decision and information gathering process. The use of an AE to do an independent review of the conceptual design estimate and schedule is commendable. The schedule should be revised to reflect the proposed design build contracting method. 19
