  escalation
• Tasks
• 2.4 Optics
• 2.5 Electronics

  incl. all on-board heads, planned postdoc, new
  operator salaries escalated by 4
• Benefits, overhead follows salaries
• New basis for equipment (150K vs 78K) allows
  for 25K new stuff replace support equipment
  in 7yrs

  compared to 726K budgeted for this year (delta
  118K or 16)
• Otto will spend all of this years budget
• Next year expected expanded scope (2 new bldgs)
  so used 1.2x (electricity, landscaping, HVAC,
  janitorial, facility repairs, contract labor)
  then esc. by 3

2.3 Vacuum System

• Requested 243.4K in FY2001 vs 248.8K in FY2000
• Found two errors
• Wrong baseline added 10K mid-year to cover RGA
  repairs (likely recurring)
• Found error in spreadsheet on 3 escalation
• Should have requested 255.6K
• This year will be underspent by 40K due to lower
  than expected LN2 use caused by detector delays
• Risk energy surcharge could persist into next
  year

2.5 Data/Computing

• Request should be 192K in FY2001 vs 183K in
  FY2000 (within 1K)
• Projecting 184K will be spent in FY2000
• Significant fraction of billing is quantized, so
  need to be careful in 10-month budgeting
• Note tape cost for LSC members is expected to be
  reimbursed
