The purpose of an external, non-proponent entity conducting an EIR is intended to provide the confidence to the Acquisition Executive and senior leadership within the Department of Energy, as well as Congress with minimal bias, that the project can be executed within scope, schedule and cost commitments, while meeting its key performance parameters and ultimately fulfilling its mission need. The work will be performed pursuant to reference (b), which requires that an External Independent Review (EIR) be performed for projects with a Total Project Cost (TPC) greater than or equal to $100M, and which further specifies that the Office of Engineering and Construction Management (OECM) be responsible for performing the EIR.  \nFurthermore,  \n\u003C\u003C(if applicable) DOE O 413.3B requires an EIR be performed prior to approval of a project’s Performance Baseline at Critical Decision-2 (CD-2). The EIR should provide a recommendation whether the performance baseline can be validated (i.e. that the proposed scope of the project can be completed within the proposed cost and schedule, and that it is supported by factual and accurate data) . Based on the EIR, the OECM must issue a Performance Baseline Validation Letter to the DOE Program Secretarial Officer describing the cost, schedule and scope being validated.  \n(if applicable) DOE O 413.3B requires OECM to perform a Construction/Execution Readiness EIR prior to CD-3 for all major system projects (i.e., projects with a TPC equal to or greater than $750M or otherwise designated by the Deputy Secretary) . The EIR should provide a recommendation whether the project can proceed with construction, and has the ability to be completed within the proposed cost and schedule, and that it is supported by factual and accurate data. Based on the EIR, the OECM must issue a Validation Letter to the DOE Program Secretarial Officer describing the construction readiness of the project.  \n(if applicable) DOE O 413.3B requires OECM to perform an EIR for projects that have new performance baselines established as a result of a performance baseline deviation. The EIR should provides a recommendation whether the performance baseline can be validated (i.e. that the proposed scope of the project can be completed within the revised and proposed cost and schedule, and that it is supported by factual and accurate data) . Based on the EIR, the OECM must issue a Performance Re-baseline Validation Letter to the DOE Program Secretarial Officer describing the cost, schedule and scope being validated.>>  \nRequirements\\Deliverables and Scope  \nThe EIR shall be performed in general accordance with references (a),(b) and (c) .
