Cost, Schedule and Status BNL ALD review oct 16-17
Review committee concluded we met all the requirements of the review
charge - allows us to go forward with the schedule proposed

Engineer staff is very experienced, many have been with sphenix since 2014
* Meeting very regularly, all material is available on indico

Many different reviews part of the sphenix p6 workflow and will continue forward

Document control plan vital - make sure all the rev. are correct
* A large fraction of the engineers time is spent on the control plan
to insure that we do not make mistakes and that we all know what we
are doing

Design is well advanced for a lot of I&F components - sphenix
installation plan is very well developed now

Work is progressing on installation plan for sub-detectors

Will not change installation schedule, but will change the forcast
schedule in order to give us more contingency so we can have
everything installed before Nov 22, 2022
