Project Status John N. Galayda
LCLS Project Summary Assessment • Technical Status, Accomplishments • Current Status, Conventional Facilities • Contingency Analysis
Project Walk-Down- Organization/Hires • Jess Albino starting 14 August • Assoc. Dir. Engineering – Two interviews • 3 more candidates • Offer out after Labor Day • Barry Miller will continue working with LCLS beyond October • James Dee, procurement representative in the field, arriving August 10 • Joe Frisch joining Paul Emma’s group • Diagnostics Expert
Project Walk-Down - Injector • Laser installed, operating • 3 mJ in the UV • Gun slightly late to power up, not a concern • Power supplies tested with controls • Scanning wires tested with controls • Magnets • Gun solenoid measured (unique challenge) • Dogleg magnets BX01/02 measured, passed • 23 Injector quads measured, passed • 3 GTL quads measured – passed as quads, flunked as dipoles • Linac solenoid in measurement • BXS injector spectrometer core delivered from LBNL- coils near completion at SLAC
Project Walk-Down - Injector • SAD draft in preparation • Magnet measurements proceeding • Potential conflict with SPEAR chicane magnet measurement • MCOR30 supplies testing underway via EPICS
Linac • BC-1 Dipoles (Scanditronix) – Arrived Monday • BC-1 “tweaker” quads delivered, measured • Refurbishment of some FFTB magnets underway • Blanket Ordering agreements in place and in use
Controls • SLAC expert engaged in connecting existing Linac software applications to LCLS • Modernization of applications will be delayed • Implementation of fast feedback may be delayed until 2007 • SPPS experience suggests this will have minor effect on commissioning • Accelerator Controls Budget • Growth in PS installation • Working to cut it down
Undulator • Single-Undulator Test results show great progress • ‘Long-term test’ beginning at ANL, a continuation of SUT • Undulator vacuum chamber design still in question • Welding tests on the 4-weld chamber are underway • Magnet measurements at SLAC • Dover bench ready to measure Keff • New system for undulator measurement- first data
Strongbacks, magnets, and poles staged for assembly @Metalex
X-Ray Transport/Optics/Diagnostics • Design for gas attenuator is maturing • prototype results very nice • Incorporate gas fluorescence intensity monitor in the middle of attenuator • Offset mirrors issues • Radiation safety • Must proceed to specification and order
X-Ray Experiment Systems • Layout of experiments influenced by recent thought within LUSI teams • Diffractive deflection of x-ray beam to each of several set-ups • Deflectors in the FEE • Radiation safety • Passing XR beam through a hutch to a downstream experiment • Analogous to some experience at SSRL

Civil Construction • Turner Project Executive: Bill Jangraw • Jacobs Contract Administrator: Jim Cranston • Proposed construction schedule: • Beampath installation can begin November 2007 • Beam Transport Hall • Undulator Hall • Front End • Near Hall • Press-fit to funding profile (M. Reichanadter presentation) but- • Contingency inadequate for this stage of Project
Civil Construction • Research Yard/FFTB ready for Turner to start • Just in time for Turner mobilization • 11 September: Alpine Road Gate will be dedicated construction entrance
Research Yard Ready for Start of Beam Transport Hall Construction- 28 August 2006
Civil Construction • Group #1 packages awarded, with exception of fire protection • Low bidder raised bid by $400K, claiming a misunderstanding of seismic requirements for support of sprinkler hardware • May re-bid
CLOC • 2-story CLOC out to bid in two groups • Schedule to get bids by • 9/28/06 for CLOC (Bid Group #3) • 10/3/06 for CLOC (Bid Group #4) • About 180 qualified bidders
Bid Group 2 • Estimate was $6.2M – adjusted bids sum to $9.9M • Site walls shifted from bid group #1 to #2 • Est.= $820K , Award=$702K • Low bidder on metal buildings - dropped out • 2nd bidder higher by $800K • Will re-bid • Bidder response disappointing • Despite extended bid deadline • Despite extra effort for outreach • 5 packages with one bid • No bids for ceramic tile, signage
LCLS Projected Total Civil Construction Costs • $104.6 award of all bid packages • Based on market experience for bid groups 1+2 • Added $1M for metal buildings • Assuming re-bid does not help • Extrapolated to 2-floor CLOC (bid groups 3+4) • 2-floor CLOC estimate: • Apply market correction from bid groups 1+2 to 3-floor CLOC • Subtract $3M (trying to be conservative here)
Experience at LLNL • Actual results for $5M buildings built at LLNL • Similarly spartan office buildings for project teams • Price is fixed, bidders propose square footage No award will be made
Clear Evidence of Recent Change in Marketplace • LLNL information is about as close to a physics experiment as one can get • Same building specifications • Same contracting • Same location • Bidders’ perceived risk MUST be low • Different year
CLOC Cost Estimate • Jacobs: $250/gsf • Cost of external HVAC and site preparation not included here (it was in other bid packages) • 3rd floor minimally occupiable • 2-Story CLOC is 49,100 gsf • $597/gsf Project Office extrapolation, in contingency analysis
Contingency Analysis 29 August 2006 • Reduced deficit due to • Reduced TEC (increased contingency) $2.5M • Estimated CF hard cost estimate reduced $1.3M • Technical sys. contingency reduced to 20% $3.0M • Foreseen draws on contingency not shown here $5.4M
Estimate to Complete Still Underway • $5M potential growth from tech. areas • Still struggling to economize • Some scope reductions are still possible • Reduce R&D effort in FY2007-2008 - $3.6M • Aggressive de-staffing in FY2008-2009 • $4M-7M potential • Still needs detailed scrutiny • Bid results will determine • Extremity of measures to close gap
Near Term Strategy • Beam Path & CLOC VE items identified (but not yet in contingency analysis): additional $1.0M - $1.5M • Directed Jacobs to implement VE immediately • Incorporate VE with Turner, post-award
Working on Planning Transit to Operations 45 FTE’s 44 FTE’s 46 FTE’s Annualized
Summary • Injector and Bunch Compressor 1 will be ready for commissioning in January • Preparations for commissioning the injector • Address engineering, physics, operations, safety • Undulator Systems Coming Together • X-Ray Front End design maturing • NO COMPROMISE to capability of FEL
Summary • Facing a very tough decision on CLOC scope • Financial impact versus CLOC functionality • Civil Construction organized, prepared to start • DOE/SLAC/LCLS must rapidly choose a course of action for CLOC construction
