Est1 Task 3

This Change Request would fund the labor, travel, and KISS user days for a factory technician from Rubb Building Systems to assist with the on-site construction of the Summit Mobile Garage as a quality assurance measure to facilitate timely and proper assembly of the structure. Specifically, upon arrival at Summit Station the Rubb technician will assess the status of the erection, which will already be in-progress, and work with the CPS Foreman in addressing questions or clarifications, identifying potential solutions to current or anticipated issues. Additional services will include expert interpretation of the Rubb construction documents, proposing of experienced-informed construction methods, assembly instructions for crew members as required, status documentation assistance, and hands-on execution of construction efforts integral with the CPS team. CPS has identified three main advantages for sending this technical expert to Summit: 1) ensuring an efficient construction process that will save time and labor, and will reduce risks associated with a prolonged construction phase, 2) assurance the structure has been constructed properly, resolving onsite issues and verifying there are no manufacturing defects, and 3) guaranteeing the warranty remains valid. Overall, the Rubb technician will provide on-site instruction, guidance, building-specific tools aiding the construction, and otherwise perform construction efforts along-side the CPS construction crew. The SIP base and tent for this structure were procured in Yr4 (CR 04-F011) and this work will be funded under a separate Yr5 subcontract to the manufacturer.
All lines were determined to be scope increases (new requirements) to the currently approved APP5. Thus, all direct costs contained in this Change Request are fee
