- There will be two conference calls with two clean room vendors today. Bill will participate. There was a list of questions submitted to the vendors with regard to reducing the cost. Pictures of the Blue Crab property as of yesterday 08/25/10, are linked above. The accelerator people have stored there some stuff temporary. | - There will be two conference calls with two clean room vendors today. Bill will participate.

| − | + | - A budget of the FDC production (linked above) was prepared based on the Fast Track labor estimates done by Bill and Lubomir and the equipment and material list from David. This estimate does not include the electronics, gas system, support frame and is only for the work related to the production at Blue Crab. We have about $1M in the baseline for these activities (both materials and labor), but need about $1.43M for the production; so the difference is $430k in addition to the $360k that were overspent already for the FDC project. Beni asked what was underestimated in the project. Eugene: mostly the labor costs. Bill mention that some additional procurements (like for the end caps) have to be included in the budget. As soon as we have a realistic estimate for the FDC budget, Eugene suggested to formulate a change request with items indicating the number of the layers that will be produced on month by month bases. | |
- 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. | - 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.
