Table 3 - Determination of Facility Representative Coverage

DOE-STD-1063-2006

Appendix C

is gone for two weeks or longer, the Field Element Manager should name a temporary

replacement and establish an appropriate coverage schedule.

INTERMITTENT:

The Facility Representative is present at least one day per week. One person can cover several

such facilities.

OCCASSIONAL:

The Facility Representative visits the facility 12-24 days a year.

SELDOM:

The Facility Representative visits the facility 6-12 days a year.

The Recommended Base Coverage Levels correspond to the following Recommended FTE Levels:

Initial FTE Coverage Level (column l). Determine the appropriate initial FTE coverage level from the recommended

FTE Level and place in column 1.

Adjusted FTE Coverage Level (column m). Multiply the FTE Coverage Level (column l) by an Adjustment Factor in

the table below, and put the result in column m. This ensures that facilities with the highest hazards, operational

activity, complexity, and of greatest programmatic importance receive higher coverage. The Adjustment Factors are:

Recommended FTE Coverage Level (column n). Following establishment of the Adjusted FTE Coverage Level

(column m) for each facility, the Field Element Manager (FEM) may further adjust the level of coverage. This

adjustment should take into consideration factors such as those listed below and be based on the FEM's judgment

of the contractor's operational performance and the priority of coverage identified in column h:

Facility operations involving multiple shifts

History of contractor performance for similar activities

Potential for DOE or public interest

The risks to successful mission accomplishment

Financial risks

Complexity of the facility and facility operations

Hazardous work environments for workers

Age, maintenance condition, and level of uncertainty of the facility

Anticipated changes in operational status of facility

Number of significant accidents/incidents on site

Amount of other DOE technical facility oversight

Facility configuration changes (like test facilities, for example)

The next step is to adjust the Recommended FTE Coverage Level to account for additional duties assigned to

Facility Representatives, as well as other competing activities. This can be done by using Table 5 or Table 6. Table

5 is used if sites can accurately estimate ot her activities for the group of Facilities Representatives at the site. Table

6 is used if Facility Representatives have different collateral duties from each other which would make using Table 5

impractical. Both Table 5 and Table 6 represent workload analyses to ensure that the Facility Representative

coverage assigned is achievable given the other duties assigned to the Facility Representatives.
