- 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. | + | - 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.
