## FY08 Funding Reduced from $65M to $49.7M

- FY08 Changes
- Removed $11M in contingency
- Reduced $3M from Accelerator Systems – Principally deferred Magnet Measurement Lab & Linac Front End to FY09
- Reduced $0.4M from Conventional Facilities – Shift site prep costs to FY09
- Reduced $0.4M from Project Management – Delayed hiring
- Reduced $0.5M from Experimental Facilities – Delayed hiring
- FY09 Changes
- Added $11M to contingency
- Added $3M to Accelerator Systems
- Added $0.4M to Conventional Facilities
- Added $0.9M to Management Reserve
- Will be able to achieve CD-3 on original schedule
- No impact on TPC or CD-4 as long as funding is restored in FY09

## New Funding Profile with Operations & MIE 

- TPC = $912M    TEC = $792M (including 30% contingency)

- Note: Operations & MIE funding are not part of TPC

## Design Progress

- Working to resolve major outstanding design issues and complete final design
- Conventional facilities final design schedule is the most critical project activity and design decisions are made to keep this design work on schedule
- Accelerator systems design schedule ensures that interfaces with conventional facilities are adequately defined
- Beamline Access Team formation underway, design maturity will follow

## Recent Design Changes

- Beam height in tunnel increased from 1.0 m to 1.2 m to allow more room for insertion devices (beam height on floor still 1.4 m)
- Tunnel height increased from 2.75 m to 3.2 m to enhance radiation shielding and provide more room for tunnel HVAC ductwork
- Experimental Floor radial width (from ratchet wall to aisle) increased from 11.6 m to 14.6 m, increasing maximum beamline length from 60 m to 66 m and providing increased transverse experimental floor space
- Bypass corridor for long beamlines redesigned for easier access
- LOB final design deferred to FY10 in order to maximize flexibility in design
- Doesn’t delay construction of LOBs, which was always scheduled for FY11

## Transitioning from Design to Construction

- Conventional Facilities construction management staff buildup continuing
- Procurement staffing increasing
- Fully implementing project management systems for use as a tool for managing the project and communicating with external reviews
- Change control system launched
- Earned Value performance data collection and analysis has started
- Risk management ongoing

## Securing Favorable Bids &Managing Civil Construction

- Finalizing RFP for buildings
- Acquisition strategy utilizes General Contractor with NSLS-II self-performing the Construction Management role
- Started GC and subcontractor outreach efforts
- Shared draft RFP with DOE procurement validation team
- Organized Civil Construction Readiness Workshop
- Advice on construction management, procurement, construction safety
- Held briefing for prospective bidders

**Notes:**
The goals of this workshop are (1) to discuss short-term planning for growth and expansion of current NSLS programs, and (2) to formulate a vision for life sciences at NSLS-II

## Workshops

- White papers received from most recent round of user workshops and under review to construct a coherent picture of a fully built-out facility
- One clear message was the advantages (scientific and technical) to be gained by appropriately combining communities with similar requirements
- For example, Life Sciences workshop identified clear overlap in interests with environmental sciences (XAS and most imaging techniques) and soft and biomaterials (SAXS/WAXS)

**Notes:**
The goals of this workshop are (1) to discuss short-term planning for growth and expansion of current NSLS programs, and (2) to formulate a vision for life sciences at NSLS-II

## NIH Panel Meeting on NSLS-II (Apr 28, 2008)

- Macromolecular crystallography
- Scattering and spectroscopy
- Microscopy, microprobe and imaging
- Other techniques?
- What is the status (i.e. current capacity and capability) of U.S synchrotron resources for this life science research technique? (Data on existing beamlines will be provided).
- What new capabilities for this technique will be enabled by NSLS-II?
- What is the number of beamlines or shares of beamlines needed for this technique at NSLS-II?
- To provide for current levels of usage at NSLS
- To enable new types of usage only possible at NSLS-II
- Is it feasible and advisable for life science techniques to share a beamline with a) other life science technique(s) or b) with a non life science group that employs the same technique at NSLS-II?
- A General Question:  What is the best stewardship model for managing life sciences resources at NSLS-II?  (i.e. an integrated program covering all techniques and beamlines vs. separate management for a technique or group of techniques).

**NIH Panel Meeting on NSLS-II (Apr 28, 2008)**

- Organized by NIGMS & NCRR
- Panel charged to advise on the capabilities of and capacity needed for life sciences research at NSLS-II
