Research Space Managers (RSM) Integrated Facility Management (IFM) Snow A Look Back at 2010 Collider-Accelerator Department 1-11-11 Take 5 for Safety
RSM Role (Former C-AD Building Managers) • Act as the steward for the “as occupied” research, research-operations and research related spaces • Serve as the contact for the coordination of non-research operational issues that affect areas of the assigned building and grounds to ensure safe and efficient operations • Serve as the liaison to the IFM Project Managers, who manage the “as delivered” environment, to manage and resolve building and utilities related issues and concerns • R2A2 on its way
IFM Status From C-AD Viewpoint • Work by IFM may be slowing • RSMs have to interact with more people; many IFM staff are new to C-AD and low on the learning curve • No central location for infrastructure parts; plumbers, HVAC workers, etc., indicate that obtaining parts for routine and corrective maintenance takes a longer time • Facilities like accelerators cannot be maintained safely or properly by IFM without direct guidance from the RSM • For now, in order to ensure work is done, the C-AD RSM for the building or research area needs to check each IFM job
Snow Only travel in an emergency If you must travel tonight, then keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your vehicle
Looking Back - That Ain’t Right • Two months and roughly 3 million barrels of spilled crude into the Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster, and fresh off criticism for saying “I’d like my life back” after the accident had cost 11 workers theirs, BP CEO Tony Hayward adds insult to injury by spending the day off the Isle of Wight aboard his $270,000 Farr 52 racing yacht • Stunned reactions to the sailing holiday from environmentalists, U.S. government officials, and Gulf Coast residents range from “insulting” to “the height of arrogance” to “man, that ain’t right.”
Looking Back - TARP for Lawyers • Mortgage-finance company Freddie Mac, a government-controlled entity that owes its survival to about $64 billion in bailouts from the U.S. Treasury Department, filed suit against the Internal Revenue Service, an arm of the Treasury Department that provided the aforementioned $64 billion, over a levy of $3 billion in back taxes • If the suit is successful, American taxpayers (Freddie Mac) won’t have to pay the $3 billion to American taxpayers (the IRS) • If not, we will in fact owe ourselves the $3 billion • Either way, someone will be paying Shearman & Sterling, the law firm representing Freddie in the case
