OK.
I know cost is not a concern for OBP…just trying to relay the full tasking. I will ping(b) (6)
though, and the Corps for input on cost or schedule, if they were even a factor at all.

That will be SBI TI's part to figure out cost comparison. The sectors chose from a toolbox in comparison to
operational needs. To be honest, cost is not our concern. The right type of fence in the right places is our focus.

Yes, I did. But I wanted to make sure everyone knew what Greg Giddens was specifically looking for. I know
cost & schedule probably was even criteria for OBP’s selection, but that’s what Giddens was emphasizing, so I
wanted to mention it. I told him it was probably primarily operation need and terrain constraints.

Did you not read my message? We are asking the field to provide a brief justification for the VF and any factors
and considerations that went into their decision. Sounds a lot like what you are asking for… I can tell you cost and
schedule was not high on our priority list, all decisions are operationally driven.

No……this is why I would like to discuss. We already have a doc with the fence types identified. Justification is
for why that type of VF was chosen, whether cost or schedule was considered, or just operational needs & terrain
features. Probably would be good to justify also why VF is needed there, like we did for PF. Since I was at the
meeting & spoke to(b) about it, I just want to make sure we all have the same understanding. We have the most
(6)
up to date list of segments updated at 930pm last night, so I want to make sure we use that in the solicitation from
the field.

Hey, (b)
(6)
Do you have a few minutes to discuss the VF type tasker from the IPR yesterday? I wanted to make sure we all
had the same understanding of it, and talk about format we need to put it in for you to send out to the sector.
