Project Controls and Earned Value Management
Project controls services cover the full EIA-748-D EVMS framework: performance measurement baseline development, control account planning, work authorization, change control, earned value metric calculation, variance analysis, and Estimate at Completion (EAC) development. Reporting deliverables include IPMR/IPMDAR Formats 1 through 7, Variance Analysis Reports (VARs), and compliance evidence packages for EVMS surveillance. Scheduling is performed in Primavera P6 with full resource loading, critical path analysis, and schedule integration to cost baselines per DOE Order 413.3B requirements across Critical Decision gates CD-0 through CD-4.
Cost Engineering and Estimating
Energration performs cost engineering across the full AACE estimate classification system, from Class 5 screening estimates through Class 1 definitive check estimates, in accordance with AACE Recommended Practices 17R-97 and 18R-97. Estimating methodologies include conceptual, parametric, activity-based, and detailed unit-cost approaches, selected and applied based on project maturity, available design documentation, and estimate end use. Deliverables include independent cost estimates (ICE), Independent Government Cost Estimates (IGCE), life cycle cost estimates, total project cost packages (TEC/OPC/contingency), basis of estimate documentation, quantity takeoffs, labor hour build-ups, escalation analyses, and indirect rate structure development. All estimates are structured for compliance with DOE Order 413.3B Critical Decision requirements, DOE G 413.3-21A, and the GAO Cost Estimating and Assessment Guide (GAO-20-195G, 12-step methodology). Cost realism and cost reasonableness analyses are performed for both contractor self-assessment and government acquisition support, including offeror cost proposal evaluation, IGCE development, and recommended realism adjustments.
Quantitative Risk Analysis and Contingency
Risk analysis is performed per DOE G 413.3-21A and AACE RP 40R-08 using Monte Carlo simulation to derive probabilistic cost and schedule outcomes. Deliverables include risk registers, sensitivity analyses (tornado diagrams, scatter plots), contingency derivations tied to specific confidence levels, schedule risk analyses with probabilistic completion dates, and risk management program documentation. Risk outputs integrate directly with cost estimates and Primavera P6 schedules to produce unified cost-schedule risk positions.
Forensic Cost Analysis and Claims
Energration develops Request for Equitable Adjustment (REA) packages, forensic cost models, and fee recovery positions grounded in actual cost data and full lateral traceability across claim elements. Work includes complex cost allocations, multi-CLIN pricing structures, and reconciliation of internal estimates to external negotiation positions. All cost proposals and claims documentation are prepared in compliance with FAR Part 15 (Contracting by Negotiation), FAR Part 31 (Contract Cost Principles), FAR Part 33 (Protests, Disputes, and Appeals), and FAR Part 36 (Construction and Architect-Engineer Contracts), with CAS Disclosure Statement alignment where applicable.
Program Management and Engineering
Program management services include DOE Order 413.3B lifecycle planning, acquisition strategy development, project estimating plan (PEP) preparation, and Critical Decision package assembly. Engineering capabilities include licensed professional engineering (PE), NQA-1 quality assurance program development and implementation, safety basis compliance and authorization basis support, and multi-discipline engineering management for nuclear facilities (including Category II). Proposal management covers federal capture strategy, cost volume development, pricing, orals preparation, and best-and-final submission support for contracts exceeding $1B in value.
