The ‘clean work’ environment will include space for 4 computer work stations as
well as other desks, tables and chairs for paperwork and studying. The ‘clean
work’ environment will also require some shelving units.
The ‘wet dirty’ section will include the usage of heavy machinery including: a
mill, a foam cutter, a refrigerator with oil sand samples, a hydraulic shaker table
(already in lab), solder station as well as additional storage space for other oil
sands materials.
It is understood that not all researchers and equipment from MEC E 2-22 and
MEC E 2-14 are being moved. Only the resources associated with the 7
researchers working for Dr. Lipsett are being moved.
We also accept that other labs will be coordinating moves at the same time. We
must schedule to work with these other labs so that the usage of hallways and
entrances does not clash; however we are not responsible for their moves. Our
project management team is responsible for coordinating moves by producing a
schedule. We are also aware that the scheduled move does not have to
happen all at once. The move should be scheduled to minimize impact on
ongoing projects.
Product acceptance will be based on a assessment by the new lab users. The
use of a post-move survey is recommended. Project acceptance will be based
on evaluation of the completed migration plan by our client Dr. Lipsett as well as
an independent third party Dr. Sami Fahmy.
The work of moving the lab will be conducted mainly with the aid of lab
technicians, researchers and students. The scheduling of this project is
constrained with reference to their work schedules and by the fact that we must
minimize the impact / disturbance to current research work. Our project is also
constrained by a budget limitation and a project completion deadline.
It is assumed that the Wifi is already available at the new location provided by
the Wifi router in the lab. We also believe that the power supply in the new lab
location is functional and that we are not required to implement any
construction/structural changes.
The two main coordinators that have already conducted feasibility analysis on
this project would include Dr. Michael Lipsett who is our client and Dr. Glen
Thomas who will coordinate the lab technicians.
We do not currently have schedules for the other labs moving in the same time
frame as these labs. This uncertainty can have associated risks with the move.
As well as any unexpected expense or schedule delay.
1.12 Schedule Milestones
This project has been assigned a budget of $10,000 we have been told this is
flexible, however we should stay close to this number so we will assume it is an
upper limit.
The impact of this assigned budget will be the requirement to complete a cost
estimate for the entire Project.
The scope is well defined, and any changes in the scope are expected to be
minimal. Researcher surveys may include a few new or unexpected
procurement provisions, however these are not expected to be large in size.
Our client Dr. Lipsett has the final say in the approval of this project. All scope
changes, cost changes, quality changes, schedule changes require his
approval.
