Preliminary Guidance our plan(subject to
change we have not yet received guidance from
Willis/Kotcher as result of 4-5 Nov AGS Review
no change since 18 Nov meeting)

• Continue cost scrubbing and schedule development
• Highest priority to AGS/BOOSTER WBS 1.4.1
• Cost scrubbing, what can we postpone until
  operations phase? etc
• Schedule in particular a plan to get the
  AGS/BOOSTER in shape for high intensity beam
  development --- by beginning of 3rd year of
  construction?
• Beam development plan that fits within constant
  effort RHIC budget scenario with 2 beams i.e.
  figure on 80 hrs/week and 15 weeks/year
• Case 1 Beam development during entire 5 year
  construction period
• Case 2 Beam development beginning 3rd year of
  construction
• The construction plan should be developed
  consistent with no beam development in first two
  years of the project (Case 2 above)
• D-line decommissioned
• C-Line available beginning of 3rd year for tests
• theres a risk (small) that we may have to revert
  back to the original plan (Case 1).
