The Office of Engineering and
Construction Management:  building new
office.



-------------------------------------------------------------
1 Goals and Requirements
-------------------------------------------------------------


1.1 Project Summary

1.1.1 Design and construction of a new office building for new operations in support of missions assigned to Los Alamos National Laboratory

1.2 Performance Parameters Required to Obtain Desired Outcome

1.2.1 Project has to be finished by April of 2008, in order to meet the terms of the land transfer agreement between the DOE and Los Alamos County


-------------------------------------------------------------
2 Cost and Schedule
-------------------------------------------------------------


2.1 Budget

2.1.1 $7.0M – $8.0M

2.2 Total Project Cost Range

2.2.1 Acquiring land outside the existing boundaries for Los Alamos

2.2.2 Alternatives

2.3 Summary Life-Cycle Costs

2.3.1 Special appropriations for land transfer

2.3.2 Independent government study gives estimate for costs

2.3.3 Decision to go with outside purchase and choose small business contractor based on alternatives

2.4 Schedule Range and Key Milestones

2.4.1 Primary sources of schedule risk will come from the potential to be delayed for heightened levels of security
