AGS RSVP Weekly Meeting P. Pile 6 Jan Jan 05 LOG Review (T. Kirk comments) The purpose of this review is to get directly to the content of the three sub- projects, KOPIO, MECO and AGS, and to find out how fully and accurately the projects have estimated costs and contingencies for the items in the project. The scope of the sub-projects is also to be examined in the context of its completeness and freedom from possible gaps and double counting in the estimate detail. We will not be hearing about the HEP rationale for the experiment, or why the particular detector approaches were chosen. This will be assumed as given for the purposes of this review. I do note, however, that observations about the technologies chosen for the experiments and their appropriateness are part of our review.

AGS RSVP Weekly Meeting P. Pile 6 Jan Jan 05 LOG Review (T. Kirk comments) In the month long-period immediately following this review, the Project Office has planned a series of lower-level reviews to 'drill down' to the lowest levels of the cost estimates with the view of validating as much of the cost and schedule baselines as can be achieved. In these lower-level reviews, the technical approaches and technologies chosen for the project elements will also be critically examined by the LOG.
