WBS 1 Project Management 



Backgroxind 



NAVFAC has requested CEL to update the NAVFAC developed purchase 

 descriptions and specifications of the utility and the flattop 

 boats, and then use the updated documents to purchase two utility 

 boats and a flattop boat. NAVFAC will ship a 2,000-lb mooring 

 system to CEL. NAVFAC has also requested CEL to conduct a technical 

 evaluation of the utility boats, the flattop boat, the mooring 

 systems, and the sorbent distribution system. To permit this 

 evaluation, the following 36-inch booms purchased earlier by 

 CEL will be used: 300 ft of Bennett boom (old design) , 300 ft 

 of Bennett boom (new design) , and 300 ft of Kepner boom. The 

 technical evaluation will be conducted in Port Hueneme harbor 

 as a CEL in-house project. 



The evaluation is to be carried out in two phases. Phase 

 I will consist of evaluating all the equipments, analysis of 

 data, and preparation of sketches of all the recommended modifications 

 and changes and preparation of purchase descriptions of additional 

 equipment required to minimize system deficiencies and to improve 

 performance. The development of recommendations will be preceded 

 by a survey of equipment manufacturers and users to determine 

 what is available in areas requiring improvements. Phase II 

 will consist of selection of alternative methods of carrying out the 

 functions found to be inadequately carried our during Phase I, construction 

 and/or purchase of alternative equipment, test and evaluation, and 

 preparation of the final report. The estimates of time and cost required 

 to conduct Phase II will depend entirely upon the findings of Phase I, 

 therefore, no attempt will be made at this time to prepare these 

 estimates . 



Objectives 



The objectives of this element are to ensure that the technical 

 evaluation proceeds on schedule within the allocated budget, 

 and to keep NAVFAC informed on the progress of the evaluation. 



Scope of Work 



a. Prepare the test plan and schedule for Phase I. 



b. Make the necessary arrangements with the Construction 

 Battalion Center.
