070701 - Wayne said the punch list has not come up in the discussions with
070702 - Power and it was not mentioned in his letter to Power on directing
070703 - Voith to perform the speed increaser work according to contract.
070704 -
070705 -     Wayne expressed concern that Tudor manipulated the record to
070706 -     remove the speed increaser from the punch list.
070707 -
070708 -        Voith Recognizes Speed Increaser
070709 -        is Punch List Work
070710 -        --------------------------------
070711 -        Voith's Dec 10, 1991 letter expressly shows the speed increaser
070712 -        is on the punch list (see ref DRP 1 page 4 item B 1 - line
070713 -        259).
070714 -
070715 -        Regardless of this fact, it may not be material to DNRC's right
070716 -        to insist that Voith complete its contract work under GC 13.11.
070717 -        In any case a Contractor's admissions are strong evidence of
070718 -        the punch list scope.
070719 -
070720 -
070721 - Voith Should Design Fixes
070722 - for Punch List at Broadwater Site
070723 - ---------------------------------
070724 - I explained why it would be helpful for the Engineer to direct Voith
070725 - to mobilize at the site to examine the work, design solutions and
070726 - manage and construct the corrective work, per ref SDS 3 line 151001,
070727 - ref SDS 4 line 050634, ref SDS 5 line 110616, and ref SDS 8.
070728 -
070729 - The intent is for Voith to mobilize at the site in order for it to
070730 - take responsibility for investigating plant defects rather than DNRC,
070731 - for the reasons at ref SDS 7.
070732 -
070733 - Wayne will consider this matter further.
070734 -
070735 -     I explained how he can pull a report on the "punch list" to
070736 -     facilitate a review of the matter.

100801 - DNRC Issued Letter to Voith
100802 - Demanding Compliance with Contract
100803 -
100804 - Wayne has called Greg and sent a letter to Power with a cc to Voith
100805 - demanding the Engineer direct Voith to provide a replacement SI
100806 - according to contract, per ref SDS 1 & 2, and DIP 1.
100807 -
100808 -      Not sure, but suspect this means Voith has still not submitted
100809 -      the shop drawings.
100810 -
100811 -      Wayne said Voith has granted permission for DNRC and/or its
100812 -      agents to contact Renk directly.  It sounded from the
100813 -      discussion that DNRC has taken the bait on this and initiated
100814 -      talks with Renk.  Wayne seemed to indicate that Renk has
100815 -      supplied shop drawings to Voith which Voith has not supplied to
100816 -      the Engineer.
100817 -
100818 -          Since DNRC has a contract with Voith it does not seem
100819 -          relevant what Renk has supplied to Voith and for sure DNRC
100820 -          does not want to get into managing the situation between
100821 -          Voith and Renk.   Wayne indicated that McVitty is meeting
100822 -          with Renk in Germany on behalf of DNRC.
100823 -
100824 -          DNRC should get a written opinion on the implications of
100825 -          interposing itself between Voith and Renk in this manner. The
100826 -          objectives need to be fully set out and the limitations of
100827 -          such contact.
100828 -
100829 -
100830 -
100831 - DNRC and Power had a 4 hour meeting this morning on the "decision
100832 - matrix."  It is being re-worked according to the discussion.  There
100833 - was no discusison of Wayne's memo to Power on directing Voith to
100834 - replace the SI.
100835 -
100836 -     DNRC should inquire from Power on its thinking with respect to
100837 -     this matter and be prepared to assist Power in formulating its
100838 -     thinking on directing Voith to provide needed information, as
100839 -     well as carry out the design and construction of the project.
100840 -
100841 -
100842 - DNRC has proposed in its letter to Voith, a contract issues meeting
100843 - for early April.
100844 -
100845 -
100846 - Call to Greg
100847 -
100848 - Wayne said he called and spoke to Greg recently, per the recommenda-
100849 - tion at ref SDS 7.  He feels Greg was very non-responsive, and so he
100850 - doubts the value of further telecon discussions.  We considered the
100851 - discussion with Greg on Dec 13, 1991 and the consequent follow up
100852 - memo, ref DIP 1.
100853 -
100854 -    A conference call might be valuable to control the record and
100855 -    properly set up the meeting in April in the manner done for the
100856 -    York meeting.  This call would have the agenda at ref SDS 7, which
100857 -    is still pending.
100858 -
100859 -    If Greg is not responsive, DNRC may demand he be replaced with a
100860 -    project manager who is ready, willing and able to respond in the
100861 -    manner required by Voith's contract.
100862 -
100863 -    These measures are necessary to move Voith to make meaningful
100864 -    progress.

CPM showing expected progress and constraints

1105 - Progress
1106 -
110601 - Power still has not produced a CPM.  DNRC has not reviewed the project
110602 - closeout CPM with Power.
110603 -
110604 - We considered the advantages of demanding that Power develop a CPM to
110605 - closeout the project so the management has some direction.  Until and
110606 - unless Power is forced to do this thinking, the situation will just
110607 - "evolve."
110608 -
110609 -     Since DNRC has a master plan, and since Tudor produced very
110610 -     detailed CPM plans for the actual speed increaser replacement work
110611 -     (see ref DRP 3), then it is difficult to see why this should not
110612 -     be the starting place for the Engineer's project closeout plan.
110613 -
110614 -
110615 - Wayne said the letter to Voith demanded that Voith produce a CPM to
110616 - show its plan to complete the work.

Power's Doc Log

1407 - Progress
1408 -
140801 - Sounds like Power is not providing its docs to DNRC on a disk so they
140802 - are available to Wayne on the computer through the doc log.  Power has
140803 - submitted a doc log proposal to DNRC to do something in R-Base,
140804 - essentially provide an inventory using "keyword" indexing.
140805 -
140806 -     This will be worthless; like the thing Natkin & Weisbach spent
140807 -     $50K for plus countless weeks and months of staff time to create,
140808 -     then could never find what was needed.  See for example the
140809 -     article in the PMI Journal for March 1992, article on page 42
140810 -     "Project Management Descriptors" explaining the difficulty of
140811 -     keyword technologies.

1908 - Progress
1909 -
190901 - We discussed the need for continued SDS records of things like the
190902 - meeeting today.  Wayne believes the only result will be a revised
190903 - "decision matrix."  We considered the advantage of capturing the
190904 - reasons for the changes and the alternatives considered.
190905 -
190906 -    Fear of Discovery
190907 -
190908 -    Wayne cited Sarah's concern that a possible future litigant might
190909 -    "discover" that recommendations were made for DNRC to take an
190910 -    action several months ago, which they are just now taking and this
190911 -    will be interpreted as "actionable" delay by DNRC.
190912 -
190913 - I concurred this is possible though not likely, since a wrong doer
190914 - (e.g. Voith) should not be excused because an Owner required a period
190915 - of notice to recognize it was being harmed and formulate a solution.
190916 -
190917 - Another possibility is that writing out the record of what was consid-
190918 - ered and why a certain direction was taken, may enable DNRC and the
190919 - Engineer to "discover" implications that are not apparent during a
190920 - discussion, and which better enable DNRC to accomplish its objectives.
190921 - For example, I "discovered" while writing this record a great many
190922 - nuances to our discussion that influence my view and recommendations
190923 - to assist DNRC, that were not expressly presented during the discus-
190924 - sion.
190925 -
190926 -     "Discussion" is dynamic rather than assiduous like writing.
190927 -     Therefore it overlooks some things even as others are considered.
190928 -     Its goal is usually pursuasion not understanding. Since discussion
190929 -     is momentary and fragmentary it can only point to possibilities,
190930 -     rather than discover or formulate an enduring truth.
190931 -
190932 -
190933 - The more I write the more I remember about it, like reciting a poem,
190934 - one line unlocks the treasure of another.  Only by investing this
190935 - intellectual capital can we hope to earn a richer reward.  Yet, if we
190936 - permit fear that others will discover our errors to prevent us from
190937 - discoverying them first and also from discoverying opportunities and
190938 - new ideas, then we have simply imploded like a black hole in space,
190939 - forever fearful that others will find out what we have overlooked.
