Hutch, Good news. I propose re-allocating the money set-aside for this work ($39.5k) to cover the added scope to the MTM VVSA contract for the purchase of the Trinos flanges ($39k). These flanges represent a change in scope for the MTM contract and will be covered by an addendum but there is no need to include this in an ECP from a cost perspective.

Mike, What is the time table for MTM to buy these flanges (if they haven't done so already? 

Bob, Does this represent a technical change in scope that would still need to be documented in an ECP?? Ron


Erik, When will the work on these walls begin and end? Ron-----Original Message-----

	Ed,
	
	We have been asked to make a recommendation on the "color of money" to
	use to construct two walls near the NCSX Test cell. Attached is a
	write-up, prepared by Margaret, recommending that it be a GPP. I concur
	with her recommendation. Please let us know if you agree.
	
	Thank you,

	Tony,
	
	I viewed the control room and test cell area with Erik Perry.  Regarding
	my question regarding the "but for" issue, he said that there was a
	previous fireproof wall between the control room and the test cell that
	would have remained, only it was structurally unsound, and that we would
	always need this separation regardless of what experimental machine is
	sited in the building(s).  And the other wall to be built would close
	off an electrical area on the first floor of the RF building that would
	also need to be done for code reasons.  So, I think that he satisfied
	the "but for" in that these walls are not just being sited where they
	are based on the layout of the NCSX machine, and that they would be
	needed regardless of the project.
	
	I have attached a summary of my determination for more detail, but I
	believe we can fund this project from GPP funds based on the following:
	 - Projected project value ($59.0k)is within GPP guidelines.
	 - Walls will have a life of > 2 years.
	 - Walls are an improvement to the building and will be added to its
	value.
	 - Walls constitute a betterment because they are fireproof, and a code
	issue.
	
	Please let me know if you have any questions,
	Margaret
