**Review of AGS Upgrade and Operations Program for RSVP**

**Brookhaven National Laboratory**

**November 4-5, 2004**

**CHARGE** **TO THE COMMITTEE**

\[1\] Review all elements of the proposed AGS Upgrade Construction
Program for RSVP through presentations by the design team. Team should
present:

-   essential aspects of the plan, including the proposed scope that has
    been verified with RSVP experimental teams;

-   upgrade implementation plan, including resource loaded schedule;

-   as clearly identified and separately costed, any non-RSVP elements
    of the proposed plan;

-   technical, schedule and cost risks to the plan.

\[2\] Review the proposed Operations Plan for RSVP, including plan and
resource-loaded schedule; potential conflict with non-RSVP operations
and vice-versa.

\[3\] Examine the management structure of the AGS Upgrade Program for
RSVP, including line authorities in the Brookhaven Laboratory and RSVP
management. Is there sufficient integration, interaction, communication,
etc.? Are responsibilities clear?

\[4\] Explore with the design team possible reductions in scope,
deferment, or future staging of elements of the proposed upgrade.
Identify and characterize attendant risks and trade-offs associated with
each of these changes. Explore all issues of joint concern to AGS, RSVP
teams.

\[5\] Summarize findings and recommendations in final closeout report.
