Actions to Improve
Project Performance
•
•
Project Lifecycle
Together we must look for ways to
improve performance
Some actions have already been
identified:
–
Identify safety
requirements early…
Complete
more design
before
…and incorporate
them into design.
construction
–
–
–
–
–
Complete more design before
construction (move away from
design/build)
Identify safety requirements early and
incorporate into design
Improve QA, including vendors
Implement improved corporate project
reviews
Improve staff capabilities in key areas
Consider owner representative approach
One way to better position ourselves for improving
is to more appropriately categorize EM work!

Issues with Request for Equitable
FY 2010 Budget Request Summary
Adjustment (REA) Submission
• Why does it take so long?
– Late submission of REA proposals
– Changes priced in reliance on validated baseline versus
contract
– Accumulation of multiple changes
– Failure to address cost of deleted work
– Inappropriate inclusion of contingency
– Delayed responses to clarification and supplemental
data
