Risk Events identified shall be reported in a format similar to the prior‐established Cost Risk<br />
Register, using similar numbering and categorization schemas. Where appropriate, this listing will<br />
contain cross‐references to the Cost Risk Register.<br />
6.3.2 Schedule Risk Assessment<br />
The PMOC shall assess the likelihood of project completion within the timeframes estimated on<br />
Grantee’s schedule. This assessment shall include: evaluation of activity durations, including<br />
statistical information such as range, mean, minimum and maximums, and whether such durations<br />
are appropriate for the project phase; identification of critical and near‐critical paths and the<br />
relationship between those paths and identified risk events; identification of hidden and exposed<br />
time contingencies and their role in schedule risk mitigation; and identification of logic<br />
relationships designed to provide risk mitigation. The <strong>FTA</strong> may direct other similar analyses.<br />
Based upon its findings, the PMOC shall assess the sufficiency of the Grantee’s sequencing and<br />
schedule to cause project completion within targeted completion dates, including any interim<br />
milestones. Based upon the assessment, the Contractor shall provide recommendations for<br />
adjustment to the Grantee’s schedule and Project Management Plan to reduce risk of not meeting<br />
the project’s schedule goals.<br />
6.4 Performance and Safety Risk<br />
Subject to the issuance of individual Work Orders, the PMOC shall identify, assess and evaluate the<br />
uncertainties in the Grantee’s project that are not directly related to project cost or schedule such<br />
as technical performance of systems, vehicles, etc. in terms of system reliability (mean time<br />
between failure, etc.) or safety in terms of reportable accidents, etc.<br />
The PMOC shall develop its approach for risk assessments of this Section and shall review the<br />
approach and receive WOM approval prior to executing this work. In general, such risk<br />
assessments shall conform to the principles outlined for cost and schedule assessments, detailed<br />
within this <strong>Oversight</strong> Procedure; however, these risk products shall be tailored to the specific<br />
requirements of the project, considering stage of project development and project scope.<br />
Upon completion of these risk assessments, the PMOC shall provide recommendations for<br />
adjustment to the Grantee’s Project Management Plan.<br />
6.5 Contract Packaging Risk<br />
As part of an individual work order, the <strong>FTA</strong> may direct the PMOC to develop specialized risk<br />
management products for cost and/or schedule, on a non‐recurring basis. Examples of such<br />
products are PMO reviews of Grantee project deliverables produced in conformance with approved<br />
project management plans or sub plans. Using data inputs regarding contingency and scope, the<br />
PMOC shall analyze the Grantee’s proposed contract language for its effectiveness in meeting the<br />
proposed allocation of risk developed as part of the Grantee’s Project Delivery Method.<br />
6.6 Risk Mitigation<br />
6.6.1 Risk Mitigation Recommendations<br />
The PMOC shall develop risk mitigation recommendations for changes to the Grantee’s Project<br />
