- Bill: there will be a delay with the clean room construction, because some of the specifications (like +/-2% humidity control) were not realistic, which delays the bidding process. Eugene: the leading time is about 3 months, so expect it ready by December, although they will try to speed up the construction.

- Ron Bartek explained that the bids for the clean room came very high and listed his suggestions to reduce the price: 1) class 10,000 NOT OCCUPIED 3) humidity limits 35-55% 4) no outlets inside (at least initially) 5)max number of people from 10 to 6. 1) would mean tighter protocol (2) for entering/working in the clean room; we agreed to this change. 3) Bill suggested 35-50% humidity limits if the change from 55 to 50% is not critical for the cost. Carrol Jones gave us more details about the humidity control also at other places at JLab. 4) means that we can install outlets later. As for #5, maybe it is not so critical. In addition we discussed if the complete elimination of the exhaust is acceptable, if we need the vestibule as it is (Carrol explained us it is important). Ron Bartek will inform all of us tomorrow about the company's suggestions how to reduce the price and what dominates the price. This information will help greatly to continue this discussions.

- David made a list of materials and equipment needed for the FDC production, totaling $120K. We have to find a way to include this into the FDC budget. We discussed the main items: epoxy, tables, additional transfer ring, microscope, ... Tim suggested starting with smaller quantities and then buying/manufacturing depending on the needs. Eugene wanted to have these numbers spread over the years. Communicate with David to include other stuff in the list, if necessary.

- Casey created a list of equipment and materials needed for the production. Everybody is encouraged to look at the link above. We discussed what type of microscope we need for the wire and flex soldering. Casey who is expected to be the main user, wanted to have bigger working distance than the new Fernando's microscope. It will be nice also to have a fast camera to work in real time just looking at the screen.
