After re-counting the ports that actually appear on the drawings, I realize that we eliminated port 16 again, removing 6 of the 33 ports we have advertised. This is based on input from Dave Johnson, who saw no reason for including the skinny little port 16.
Anyway, I have modified the ECP accordingly, by subtracting $60k from the $300k for new ports, and adding $60k to the -$160k for eliminating mockups. I would argue we could leave $60k in the mockup category for the VV mockup, since we have no backup for eliminating the VV mockup. The port extension estimate did not include port 16, so the $150k for this is still good. With the above plan, there is no net change to the ECP.

Subject:
ECP-008 Draft C1
Folks,
This Draft C1 reflects comments from Ron and Hutch.
The CCB is scheduled for Friday, June 18th at 2:00 pm. We will call the ORNL folks. Since Hutch will be on vacation, Wayne will chair the CCB.
Before we hold the CCB, Ron and I need the following items to be resolved:
(1) Need cost estimate backup details for:
a. Additional modular coil R&D efforts (Chrzanowski/Nelson) – backup for the ~$265K estimate
b. Additional welding of new ports (Chrzanowski) – backup for the ~$75K estimate
(2) Need schedule impact assessment for:
a. Impact on overall schedule of eliminating the full-scale assembly mockups and how the delivery of the MCWF needs to be revised to permit timely arrival of each MCWF type to permit use vs. full-scale assembly mockup (Heitzenroeder/Chrzanowski)
Please provide your input and comments back to me as quickly as possible so that we can be ready for the CCB next week.
Thanks,
Bob S.
