Hi Hong and Hao, 

Isn't the cost in the BOE table the direct cost in FY19, while the cost on Slide 31 is the actual cost?

Thanks, I think I’ve asked this question before. I think that must be it. Otherwise I think you’re in good shape. 

Best, Tim

Thanks Tim for the comments. Please see my reply below.

>>Hao, add title to slide 4. 

Title has been added.

>>Hao, same question. The sum on your slides is $300,279, in the BOE it is $320,231. The BOE in docdb hasn’t been updated since December? The difference is a >>savings of $20k. Maybe again it’s the BCPs but the BCPs since December don’t add up to a savings of $20k, rather an increase of about $75k. 

I have updated the BOE with latest BOE table. The new number is $286,474, which doesn't match the number $300,279 I copied from cost book. I will check what's the problem.

>>Hao, also in the BCP table, I’m a little confused since the table includes the BCPs for entire DOE scope, not just 6.4.4. It might be nice to break out just the 6.4.4 >>part in a separate slide, as Hong does. 

It has been revised as you suggested.

>>Hao, is there a reason you don’t need a traceability slide (Hong’s slide 33)? 

There's no large procurement for 6.4.4, so a traceability table is not required. But I do have a similar table for myself to track all M&S.

Regards,

Hao

Hi Hong and Hao, 

Nice talks! I went through the slides posted on Friday’s agenda. I took a look mostly at the numbers. A few questions and comments. 

Hao, add title to slide 4. 

Hong, why is sum of the material on slide 31 not the same as the grand total for material in the BOE page 4? It’s $552,321 (slides) vs $591,011 (BOE), so difference of $40k less on the slides. Is the savings reflecting the changes in the BCPs? The BOE claims to be up to date, but is it? Or am I forgetting something? 

Hao, same question. The sum on your slides is $300,279, in the BOE it is $320,231. The BOE in docdb hasn’t been updated since December? The difference is a savings of $20k. Maybe again it’s the BCPs but the BCPs since December don’t add up to a savings of $20k, rather an increase of about $75k. 

Hao, also in the BCP table, I’m a little confused since the table includes the BCPs for entire DOE scope, not just 6.4.4. It might be nice to break out just the 6.4.4 part in a separate slide, as Hong does. 

Hao, is there a reason you don’t need a traceability slide (Hong’s slide 33)? 

Best, Tim
