2. Outline • Purpose of the review • Project Overview • Impacts of FY2007 continuing resolution and funding shortfall • Revised cost and schedule baseline • Risk and Contingencymanagement • Conclusion

3. Purpose of Review • EIR based on the limited lines of inquiry • Evaluate and validate the project’s revised cost and schedule baseline • There is no change in the mission and technical performance • Recommend to OECM the reasonableness of the revised cost and schedule baseline

6. Project Overview - continued • LCLS Mission • Research and development center for x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) physics in the hard x-ray regime; and • Provide a facility for the application of XFEL radiation to experimental science • To achieve the mission, LCLS scope was defined to build a free electron laser. The scope remains unchanged in the revised cost and schedule baseline. • Project is 54% complete as of July 2007 • Civil construction contract is 37% complete • Overall TEC is 58% complete • Project performance prior to FY07 was good (PARS criteria)

7. FY2007 Continuing Resolution Impacts • Project performance degraded rapidly due to the CR and funding shortfall • Re-directed resources to evaluate impacts, re-plan activities, and prepare revised baseline – the costs for these efforts are non-recoverable. • Delayed undulator and controls activities and procurements until March 2007. • FY2007 funding shortfall cannot be restored until FY2009; re-plan Photon system activities which delays project completion to July 2010. • Reporting against the current baseline causes sharp decline in performance.

8. Revised Cost and Schedule Baseline

9. Risk and Contingency Management • Risk Management Process • Mature process in place used to manage project risks • Project mitigates risks (through various measures including VE) without compromising the LCLS mission and technical performance • Updated monthly • Provides the basis for cost contingency • Contingency Management • Bottoms up development by project staff based on risks • Centrally managed between LCLS Project Director and Federal Project Director • Thresholds are defined in the Project Execution Plan

10. Conclusion • Revised cost and schedule baseline completed with adequate cost contingency and schedule float • Project mission remains unchanged • LCLS mission will be achieved with the revised baseline • Project management systemsand processes exists and working well • Revised baseline is ready for validation
