ESBD_549439_1786758294927_TSC RFI 358-26-002 Appendix J Planning Schedule-Critical Path-Decsion Gates.pdf

This is an appendix to a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Texas Space Commission regarding Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility (EMI/EMC) mobile test capabilities. Appendix J establishes the planning schedule, critical path, and decision gates required for proposing minimum viable, preferred, and expansion alternatives. The document requires respondents to provide a planned-level schedule using calendar dates or months from authorization, identify all dependencies, and designate responsible parties for each phase. The key phases outlined include site control and due diligence, programming and feasibility assessment, environmental review and permitting, concept and final design, long-lead procurement, construction or renovation, equipment fabrication, installation and integration, commissioning and calibration, acceptance and validation, workforce training, initial user campaigns, and full shared-user operations, with provisions for future expansion decisions.

The appendix requires specific documentation of critical and long-lead items with current lead times, required-by dates, single-source determinations, and mitigation strategies that may affect schedule. Additionally, respondents must identify expansion triggers by phase, including the specific metrics, thresholds, decision authority, and any associated additional costs or schedule impacts. The document does not contain explicit pricing information, set-asides, funding amounts, or contract term details within this particular appendix, as it focuses solely on scheduling framework and critical path analysis for project implementation.
