I. Agenda:
iTPC DIscussions:
Note from Jim/Zhangbu:
1.) Organize the project, recover lost & retired skills. Review available drawings and documentation. Arrange for best available manpower
and write contracts with institutions. 6 FTE months.
2.) Mechanical design: a.) Strongback - 6 FTE months b.) Pad Plane (mechanical) - 3 FTE months
c.) Grids and Wire Factory design and layout - 6 FTE months
These activities can be done in series or in parallel, depending on available human resources.
3.) Electrical design: a.) Pad Plane (electrical) - 3 FTE months b.) FEE - 6 FTE months (need input from Tonko, ignores problem with sAltro)
c.) RDO - 6 FTE months (need input from Tonko, ignores problem with sAltro)
These activities can be done in series or in parallel, depending on available human resources.
4.) Cooling - 3 FTE months
5.) Mechanical Fabrication a.) Strongback - 3 months duration at outside shop plus time to write and sign contract. Guesstimate 15K per sector.
b.) Grids - 1 year duration. Need to build small factory. 3 Techs fulltime.
6.) Electrical Fabrication a.) Pad plane - 3 months duration at outside shop plus time to write and sign contract. Guesstimate 5K per sector.
b.) FEE - less than 1 year duration. Guesstimate 750K for all Fee's.
c.) RDO - less than 1 year duration. Guesstimate 500k for all RDO's.
7.) Installation a.) Mechanical - 3 months duration. 3 techs full time. b.) Electrical - 3 months duration. 3 techs full time.
This plan assumes that the Sector Installation tool will be paid for by STAR operations. Further, it is assumed that the Sector Installation tool
design will be completed in the summer of 2013; fabricated and safety approved and tested before the summer of 2014. Finally one or more
sectors must be installed and tested with the new sector installation tool before we install the full iTPC upgrade. So if the tool is ready for use in
the summer of 2014, we install one sector (sector 20?) and test it in the subsequent run. Assuming success, this means the iTPC upgrade can
be installed in the summer of 2015 (for run 16).
So with a dedicated and efficient team, the iTPC upgrade can be completed in a duration of 3 years ... but this is fairly fast paced and it assumes
that the very best people are ready and available to work on the project.
45% contingency is about the maximum that Physicists will allow and the minimum that the DOE will accept for a project at this stage of development ;-)
Grand Total: 2 Million labor + 1.75 Million Fabrications + 45% = $5.4M
Duration: 3 years
