  3. Key CY08 Events • Beamline Develop. & Scien. Strategic Planning Workshops Feb 1-Mar 14 • SC Mini-Review Feb 26 • Letters of Intent for Beamline Advisory Teams due Mar 30 • NIH Panel Meeting on NSLS-II Apr 28 • Experimental Facilities Advisory Committee Meeting May 5-7 • Conventional Facilities Advisory Committee Meeting May 8-9 • SC Status Review June 17-19 • Accelerator Systems Advisory Committee Meeting July 17-18 • Project Advisory Committee Meeting Summer • 100% Title II Design due from A/E August 25 • Final Design Review Sep 2-4 • IPR for CD-3 Sep 30-Oct 3 • EIR for CD-3 Oct 20-24 • Release RFP for ring building contract to industry Oct

  4. 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

  5. New Funding Profile with Operations & MIE TPC = $912M TEC = $792M (including 30% contingency) Note: Operations & MIE funding are not part of TPC

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. Beamline Specific Workshops Workshop (Attendees)Date • XPCS/SAXS (44) Jan 10, 11th • XAS (59) Jan 16th • Powder Diffraction (95) Jan 17th, 18th • Soft x-ray scattering (34) Feb 4th • Inelastic Scattering (42) Feb 7th, 8th • Nanoprobe (29) Feb 15th • Coherent Diffraction (17) March 14th Powder XAS Presentations posted at: http://www.bnl.gov/ls/workshops.asp XPCS/SAXS

  11. Scientific Strategic Planning Workshops Workshop (attendees) Date Life Sciences (72) Jan. 15-16 Materials Science and Engineering (95) Jan. 17-18 Earth and Environmental Sciences (54) Jan. 22-23 Chemical and Energy Sciences (37) Feb. 1 Hard Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (50) Feb. 5-6 Soft and Biomolecular Materials (60) Feb. 11-12 Earth and Environmental Sciences Chemical and Energy Sciences Life Sciences

  12. 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)

  13. 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 • Charge: The following questions should be considered for each of the following techniques with regard to life science applications • 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).

  14. NIH Panel Meeting on NSLS-II (Apr 28, 2008) Agenda Presentations and other information posted at http://www.bnl.gov/nsls2/project/reviews/NIH.asp

  15. Preparing for CD-3 Reviews & Approval • Aggressive plan for reviews in support of CD-3 approval process including: • HDR Conventional Facilities Final Design Submittal August 25 • NSLS-II Internal Design Review September 2-4 • DOE Independent Project Review September 30 - October 3 • DOE External Independent Review Week of October 20th • BNL EVMS certification (CAP closure) planned for June • CD-2 EIR CAP submittal being tracked to closure

  16. NSLS-II Project Organization

  17. Staffing of NSLS-II Project * *Only includes full-time hires – does not include fractional MOUs

  18. Current NSLS-II Staffing by Source Currently 9 “reverse” MOUs from NSLS-II to NSLS, totaling 1.75 FTEs

  19. Preliminary NSLS & NSLS-II Staffing Profile

  20. NSLS-II Career Open House – March 29 • Almost 600 applicants • 150 qualified for open positions • Bringing back 40 for a second interview

  21. Joint Photon Sciences Institute Update • The NYS Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) has executed the Grant Disbursement Agreement (GDA) for the first $10M for JPSI. The GDA is now with RF-SUNY, which is expected to sign soon. • Positive discussions with key stakeholders • DOE-BES • Major NYS companies, including IBM, GE, and SEMATECH (Albany nanotech), as well as smaller companies • Key NYS academic and research institutions • NIST – promote industrial research beyond NYS • Draft CD-0 document undergoing final review before submission • A JPSI planning workshop is being planned for 2HFY08.

  22. Issues and Concerns • Ensuring competitive bids on Ring Building contract • Staffing up for CM role • Impact of Continuing Resolution on Construction Start • NIH funding for life science beamlines • Development of overall NSLS-II Scientific Strategic Plan
