28DAY LEASE PROCESS
SITE WALKS (75/WK)
7DAY
300 SITE DEPLOYMENT
Assume (4) crews completing (1) site each day.

7DAY
Early utility coordination and power set-up will avoid back-end delays.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS (50/WK)

The SSC Approach – Risks & Opportunities
16 Initial Due Diligence • • • • •
Complete initial site selections with 60 days Complete scrub to identify “issue” sites (LL, structural, utility) Prioritize site schedules based upon issues Identify landlord leads; develop landlord schedule commitments Finalize standard configurations as soon as possible
Entitlement Process • • • • • • • • •
File applications immediately (all accepted within two weeks) Complete all site walks within (4) weeks Identify mappings within (1) week; complete within (5) weeks Finalize configurations upon receipt of site walk information Start structural analysis by week (2); complete within (6) weeks Start construction docs by week (2); complete within (6) weeks File for permits with Rev A drawings; start by week (4) Begin lease execution by week (6) – typical MLA 45-60 days Expedite execution process (standard terms – quick signatures)
Materials Develop standard BOMs as quickly as possible Order lead-time items quickly Develop logistics plan (cross-docks / local warehousing) Complete BOMs upon completion of dependent tasks (passing structural / final CDs / lease approval) • Work towards max 28-day BOM-to-ultimate receipt schedule • • • •
Construction Process • Finalize construction partners (CPS) quickly using typical configuration / g-max pricing • Begin utility coordination day 1 • Involve CPs in material logistics plan • Provide CPs “pre-NTP” packages (structural analysis / CDs / BOM) as early as possible to begin OOS scrub and construction requirements (cranes / special certifications / etc.) • Provide NTP packages to CPs within (1) week of receipt of LL NTP, work towards (4) week backlog per crew • Develop centralized “war-room” for construction issues • Work max 5-day schedule per site
The SSC Approach – The First 60 Days
17 Days 1-30
Staff Required: Senior Program Manager and Senior Entitlements Manager The focus of the first 30 days of the project will be assisting in the finalization of the program specifics and the development of the preliminary plans and processes that will guide the project. A working list of the program’s “primary gating issues” will be developed and action plans identified. The initial staff will assist ViaSat personnel with the specific tasks required to move the program towards the point of “project kick-off”
Days 31-60 Staff Required: Senior Program Manager, Senior Entitlements Manager, Senior Construction Manager, and required Construction Managers The focus of the second 30 days will be the completion of the pre-kickoff tasks required to begin the project fully informed and ready to “hit the ground running”. Final plans and processes will be codified so that all team members are aware of roles and responsibilities. Initial schedule and pricing commitments will be obtained and set from the tower owners. Initial site visits will be completed to identify site issues and resultant site priority lists will be developed. The culmination of the second 30 days will be the official “project kick-off”, at which point all necessary staff and vendors are mobilized and gating project tasks are begun.
Initial ViaSat Scope Review
18 ViaSat Pre-Deployment Statement of Work Comments
3.1.5 – Verification of fiber may be difficult during a SCIP walk if fiber is not at the site 3.2.4.2 – Landlord Approvals (Zoning) Unless this is required by the governing authority, this seems unnecessary and potentially schedule impacting. ViaSat business decision 3.2.4.5 – Landlord Approvals (Permitting): Unless this is required by the governing authority, this seems unnecessary and potentially schedule impacting. ViaSat business decision 3.3.1 – A&E Site Walk: It is indicated that (1) site visit should be completed for both design and utility coordination (power & fiber). This may not be feasible as coordination of utility representatives is notoriously difficult. Three (3) site visits is a realistic count. 3.3.1.3 – A&E Site Walk: Scope indicates verification and documentation of fiber. Related to the item above, this can be done but will likely require the utility coordination to be complete (i.e. additional site visit). 3.6.1 – The Database scope appears to require that Contractor provide and maintain a database as a common repository for files, forecasting, scheduling and tracking, services, deliverables, standards, templates, and forms. Please clarify the ViaSat needs, security issues and ownership of data concerns.
