<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />· Risks that technical needs might not be fully met, that budgets could be exceeded <br />or that schedules could be overrun; <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />· Functional advantages and disadvantages; and <br /> <br />· System useability. <br /> <br />In addition to the alternatives developed in Task 5, comparative information will be <br />provided for a baseline case which represents the current approach to decision-making for <br />Colorado River water management. <br /> <br />Comparisons will focus on differences between alternatives; for example, variable <br />costs rather than common costs, and particular advantages rather than advantages common <br />to all. <br /> <br />The product of this task will comprise a matrix presenting the comparative <br />infonnation, a narrative discussing the major differences emerging from this matrix, a ranking <br />of alternatives and identification of a preferred alternative with a narrali.ve describing the <br />reasoning involved in reaching this recommendation. <br /> <br />If appropriate, a weighting system will be used to assist in ranking of the alternatives. <br />Whether or not this approach is used, the project team will interact closely with the Project <br />Management Team in evaluating, comparing and prioritizing the various factors that will <br />influence selection of the preferred alternative. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />TASK 9: REFINED COST ESTIl\1ATE Ai.'ID WORK PLAN FOR SELECTED <br />ALTER.."fATIVE <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />Following selection of an alternative by the CRDSS Advisory Committee, the project <br />team will prepare a detailed work plan for this alternative, in which each task and sub-task <br />involved in the design and implementation of the CRDSS will be identified, scoped, and <br />costed. In addition, the inputs required during development of the DSS from the Project <br />Management Team, the CRDSS Advisory Committee and key users will be estimated. <br /> <br />Admini<<tration <br /> <br />This task will be led by Daryl Longwell integrating the refined cost estimate and <br />schedule generated by the CADSWES team. Rene Reitsma, David Sieh and Jackie Sullivan <br />will rerine the project plan for development of the selected alternative. <br /> <br />Detailed Wark Plan <br /> <br />A project development schedule will be prepared based on this work plan, which will <br />identify critical decision points and product delivery points. The previous general cost <br />. estimate will be retined based on the additional detail of the work plan. Costs will be related <br /> <br />-16- <br />
