## [[Risk Action Plan]] ### [[Risk Description|Description]] Due to a strong working relationship between [[EPIC Water Authority]] and [[Mushroom Kingdom]] regulatory staff, there is an opportunity that the environmental permit review may be expedited through pre-application coordination, which may lead to earlier construction mobilization and recovery of schedule float consumed by design delays. > [!abstract]- Risk Analysis — Key Assumptions & Current Controls (click to expand) > > **Key Assumptions:** > - [[EPIC Water Authority]] has an established relationship with the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] permitting agency and can facilitate pre-application meetings. > - The permit application is substantively complete and ready for pre-application submission; no outstanding design issues are expected to affect permit scope. > - Expedited review, if granted, would reduce the standard review period by 4-6 weeks. > - [[Rosalina]] has confirmed that the agency has an informal expedited review track for municipal water infrastructure projects with prior relationship history. > > **Current Controls:** > - [[Rosalina]] monitoring agency review queue and maintaining contact with assigned reviewer. > - [[EPIC Water Authority]] has designated a liaison to coordinate with regulatory staff. > [!abstract]- Sources of Information & References (click to expand) > > **Sources:** > - [[EXHIBIT A - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND WORK; Key Completion Times; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES]] — Key Completion Times and schedule milestones affected by permit timing > - [[EXHIBIT C - General Conditions]] — Owner responsibilities for permit coordination > - [[Executed Contract]] — Allocation of permitting risk and Owner obligations > > **Attachments:** > - None at this time. ### [[Risk Mitigation Strategy]] ENHANCE — [[Rosalina]] to coordinate with [[EPIC Water Authority]] liaison to formally request pre-application meeting with [[Mushroom Kingdom]] regulatory staff. Prepare a complete pre-application package to maximize the value of the meeting and demonstrate project readiness. Follow up with assigned reviewer to confirm expedited track eligibility. 1. [[Rosalina]] to confirm eligibility for expedited review track with [[Mushroom Kingdom]] agency contact. 2. Coordinate with [[EPIC Water Authority]] to schedule pre-application coordination meeting at the earliest opportunity. 3. Prepare complete pre-application package: project description, environmental impact summary, and preliminary permit application draft. 4. Follow up weekly with assigned reviewer to maintain visibility and address any technical questions promptly. 5. If expedited review is confirmed, update [[Section 01 32 16.20 Construction Progress Schedule]] to reflect earlier mobilization date and identify downstream activities that can be advanced. ### Possible Additional Actions | Response | Effectiveness | Cost | | ---- | ---- | ---- | | Pre-application meeting with regulatory staff | High | Low | | Prepare complete application package in advance to reduce agency review burden | High | Low | | [[EPIC Water Authority]] executive-level outreach to agency leadership | Medium | Low | | Engage permit expediting consultant familiar with [[Mushroom Kingdom]] agency process | Low | Medium | ### Comments & Recommendations This is a lower-probability opportunity given the standard regulatory timeline, but the schedule benefit — recovery of 4-6 weeks of float — is meaningful given design delays already experienced on this project. The cost to pursue is minimal: primarily [[Rosalina]]'s coordination time and preparation of the pre-application package. The key dependency is [[EPIC Water Authority]]'s willingness to engage their regulatory relationship on the project's behalf. This should be raised with the Owner at the next progress meeting to gauge their appetite for active coordination. If the expedited track is not available, the pre-application coordination still has value — early agency engagement often results in a smoother formal review with fewer requests for additional information. ### Status - [ ] [[2026-01-08]] Opportunity identified. [[Rosalina]] directed to confirm expedited review track eligibility with [[Mushroom Kingdom]] regulatory contact and report back within two weeks. ^status-2026-01-08 > [!abstract]- Status History (click to expand) > > No closed entries at this time.
