Project Manager’s Assessment
Category Status Assessment Summary
Scope R Have identified 50+ contingency miles.
Need to complete official Gate Locations/Types, Access Roads, and Urban/Rural
demarcation lines in TX delineating land acquisition south of the fence along the river.
Decisions not yet final wrt fence alignment along levee in TX, will result in different
solutions due to varied field conditions/limitations & planned IBWC levee improvements –
currently conducting site assessments teaming w/ IBWC, USACE, OBP, CBP, SBI & DOI.
Budget Y (b) estimate (+20%/-5%); based on parametric estimate
Schedule Y Corps currently projecting Dec 08 based on CBP/SBI implementing required assumptions.
Technical Y Preparation of Phase 1 RFP documents on schedule; IBWC MOU needs to be
prepared/executed; Significant DoI coordination activities

PF 225 Major Risks and Issues (not necessarily in order of priority)

1 – Project lay down control management plan 7 – DoI Coordination/Approvals
Engagements/Message/Transactions

2 – Timely ROEs and land acquisition (will require 8 – Public/environmental groups opposition
condemnations)

3 – Timely completion of NEPA decision documents (will 9 – Fence deployment in South Texas and portions
likely require a S1 waiver) of San Diego sector

4 – Preparation and implementation of Project 10 – Accuracy of current cost estimates (based on

Management Plan parametric estimates)

5 – Timely approval of Delegation of Authority and 11 - Accuracy of schedule duration estimates

accompanying Support Agreement (based on professional judgment)

6 – IBWC Coordination/MOU 12 - Identification and planning of 100 mi +/- of

buffer mileage
