The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is the lead Department of Energy (DOE) laboratory for electron-based high energy physics. It is dedicated to research in elementary particle physics, accelerator physics and in allied fields that can make use of its synchrotron radiation facilities—including biology, chemistry, geology, materials science and environmental engineering. Operated on behalf of the DOE by Stanford University, SLAC is a national user facility serving universities, industry and other research institutions throughout the world. Its mission can be summarized as follows:
Perform world-class research in high energy physics, particle astrophysics and cosmology, and in the use of synchrotron radiation
Provide accelerators, detectors, instrumentation and support for national and international research programs in elementary particle physics and allied fields that use synchrotron radiation
Advance the art of accelerators and related devices through development of sources of high energy particles and synchrotron radiation, plus new techniques for their scientific utilization
Advance the critical technologies necessary to maintain its leadership and excellence in particle physics, accelerator physics, particle astrophysics and cosmology, and synchrotron radiation
Transfer practical knowledge and innovative technology to the private sector
Contribute to the education of the next generation of scientists and engineers, and to the scientific awareness of the public
Achieve and maintain excellence in matters of environmental concern and provide for the safety and health of its staff and the general public.
The Site Engineering and Maintenance Department (SEM) provides maintenance and repair of all SLAC buildings, grounds, utilities and provides hoisting and rigging services. We do not provide assistance with phones, computers, power supplies, vending and food services. The Site Engineering and Maintenance Department normally funds routine maintenance and repair. However, modifications or activities other than routine maintenance may require separate funding by the requestor.

Performance Area: PROJECTS & FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
Performance Objective #1 Real Property Management
The laboratory will effectively manage real property.
(Total Weight = 17%)
Performance Criterion: 1.1 Real Property Management
Real Property is effectively managed consistent with mission requirements and DOE direction.
Performance Measure: 1.1 Program Implementation (Weight = 17%)
Number of completed milestones/milestones scheduled for completion.
Performance Assumptions:
Intent is to measure the effectiveness, completeness, and timeliness of implementation of Real Property management actions. Milestones will be established in partnership with DOE and made a matter of record in the first quarter of the fiscal year. Milestones may be established for Facilities Information Management System (FIMS) completeness, office space utilization, substandard building space conversion, etc.
Performance Gradient:
Outstanding: 0.900 or greater
Excellent: 0.800 to 0.899
Good: 0.700 to 0.799
Marginal: 0.600 to 0.699
Unsatisfactory: less than 0.600
Milestones/Objectives
Space manager will meet with management to identify and evaluate any upcoming space problems and potential solutions. Meeting minutes will be recorded and filed. Q3 (summary review)
Performance Objective #2 Project Management
(Total Weight = 15%)
Performance Criterion: 2.1 Facility Construction Projects
Facility construction projects with total project cost greater than or equal to $500K are completed on cost, schedule, and technical baseline.
Performance Measure: 2.1a (Weight 8%)
Number of milestones completed on schedule/number of milestones planned.
Performance Assumptions:
The intent is to measure actual progress against that planned for the fiscal year and for the Laboratory to execute facility construction projects within budget. A milestone list for all active projects will be negotiated with DOE at the time that each project is submitted to DOE. Only significant milestones will be listed, but each active project will have at least one milestone. Project completion is based upon beneficial occupancy or beneficial use. By mutual agreement between the Laboratory and DOE, final evaluation may be adjusted because of changes to project final cost, for late/early completion, and/or for increased/diminished scope. DOE/SSO may approve changes to project milestones due to changes in Laboratory funding priorities, programmatic schedules, or delays due to uncontrollable forces, as it relates to this performance measure.
Performance Gradient:
Outstanding: 0.900 to 1.00
Excellent: 0.800 to 0.899
Good: 0.700 to 0.799

Refer to included spreadsheet.
Performance Measure: 2.1b (Weight 7%)
Actual funds committed during the fiscal year/planned funds committed during the fiscal year.
Performance Assumption:
The intent is to measure the Laboratory performance in executing projects within the approved TEC. The baseline TEC may be adjusted for allowed cost or work scope changes, Baseline Change Proposals, DOE directed changes, uncontrolled forces, or changes in programmatic schedules. If performance gradient exceeds 1.00, rating will be determined on contributing factors.
Performance Gradient:
Outstanding: 0.900 or greater
Excellent: 0.800 to 0.899

Facility operations and maintenance are effectively managed consistent with mission, risks, and costs.
Performance Measure: 3.1a Program Implementation (Weight 20%)
Sum of completion percentages for all milestones worked/milestones scheduled for completion.
Performance Assumptions:
The intent is to measure the effectiveness and timeliness of the Laboratory’s facility maintenance program. A list of mutually agreed milestones will be made a matter of record within the first month of the fiscal year. For multiple-facility milestones, completion percentage will be an average of the completion percentages for each facility included in the milestone. If no milestones are selected for the fiscal year, the weight of performance Measure 3.1.a will be added to performance Measure 3.2.a.
