Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #25 Cost Book Needs The Basis-of-Estimate (BOE) shall contain supporting information substantiating each cost data item vendor quotes engineering calculations graphs figures (BOE code) which characterizes the uncertainty associated with the estimate. The categories established for the project in decreasing order of confidence include: CP, catalog prices for off-the-shelf items; VQ, vendor quotations based on finished drawings, followed by vendor quotes on preliminary drawings; HD, historical data from previous experience with similar components and efforts; and EE, engineering estimates based on the estimator’s judgment and experience.

Return to Kim on Tuesday The WP managers will work with the Subsystem Managers
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #28 Work Packages Designed to allow you to estimate burdened costs and generate work packages in preparation for CD-2/3a and beyond. This process will also establish the contingency on each activity. Current labor and overhead rates will be loaded into a linked rate table. You can estimate total costs using easy-to-use drop down menus and entry fields.
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #29 Section 1. Set Up Activity Sheets For each activity in the MS Project schedule If work package contains > 20 activities, break into multiple work packages Do not add additional activity sheets to the workbook Enter estimated duration Start and end dates will be entered by the project office at a later date Estimate contingency according to the rules contained in the PEP
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #30 Contingency Refresher Re-evaluate current work packages Durations and cost in the work package No contingency Currently the duration in the Microsoft Project Schedule is with contingency With some exceptions, the contingency will decrease due to R&D advancements

Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #33 Section 2. Estimate Labor Costs Specific Person Assign name, institution, labor type and hours Generic resources in the Project schedule Assign TBD, institution, labor type and hours Graduate students, scientific staff and professors should not have a cost associated with them. Capture their effort both here and in the schedule for planning purposes.
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #34 Duration and Work Effort Comparison
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #35 Section 3. Estimate Other Direct Costs (ODC) Enter cost type, base estimate and purchasing institution. travel, supplies and small equipment purchases Check accuracy and completeness of your ODC estimate make sure that you have included appropriate amounts of ODC for each institution participating in the activity
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #36 Section 4. Estimate Major Procurements Estimate the burdened cost of all procurements over $25k Write a brief description of the item Enter a base estimate (best guess until you have a quote) Assign institution that will initiate the purchase Institutions may have different overhead rates for small and large procurements. Be sure to enter procurement costs in the section with the appropriate overhead rate. Submit vendor quotes labeled by WBS electronically to the project office for purchases greater than $25K or as requested by Project Office Will provide reviewers with a better understanding of how cost estimates on largest ticket items were determined Some purchases might be grouped
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #37 Section 6. Assumptions Assumption - A condition or statement assumed to be true for the purposes of planning that if proved false could significantly alter the project's ability to complete the activity as expected. Example: you may assume that your institution will assign a lower overhead to the project because of its scientific importance. If the institute eventually decides against offering the lower rate, the estimated cost of the activity could increase significantly.
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #38 Section 6. Constraints Constraint - A restriction or limitation that must be met by the activity in order to satisfy project requirements. Example: the EDM Project Manager may assign a budget constraint to a particular piece of equipment in order to complete the project within DOE's funding profile. Example: an activity on the critical path may have to be started or finished on a certain date in order to meet a Critical Decision point or other high level milestone. Use this section to document constraints that the project office needs to know
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #39 Section 6. Dependencies (Links) Dependency - A relation between activities, such that one requires input from the other. Example: completion of an activity may require that another activity from outside of your WBS element be completed first. Document any dependencies of which you are aware in the activity sheets Refer to the master schedule to identify the logical relationships that have been defined to this point
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #40 Complete the Work Package Sheet Once you have finished a sheet for each activity in the work package, the last step is to complete the work package. Enter a work package title WBS number at the Summary level Max. 3-4 sentence description of the work scope –The detail will go into the WBS Dictionary Milestones Assumptions pertaining to the overall work
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #41 Milestones The following definitions from the planning guidance apply to entering milestone levels: Level 1DOE –Critical Decisions Level 2PEP Milestone –1 to 2 per Year Level 3Work Package –1 to 2 per Quarter Level 4Activity (Lowest Level) –Your internal milestones to manage DOE PO NSF
Office of Nuclear Physics Annual Review 8/1/07 #42 Risk Need to rework contingency Document risk Contingency >30% needs to be documented on the work package section 6.
