This technical support report summarizes the inputs of both first- and second-tier subcontractors required in performance of Cooperative Agreement No. DE-FC02-80ET-14759 (CA) between the Department of Energy (DOE) and W.R. Grace and Co. (Grace). The preliminary design and assessment activities for the Grace Coal-to-Methanol-to-Gasoline Plant (Gasoline Plant) necessitated the subcontracting of certain work to other companies because of subcontractors' expertise in architect/engineering services, specialized technical experience, sole source of required information such as licensors of selected technologies or experience in environmental services. This report explains the technical support supplied from Grace's first- and second-tier subcontractors and deviations from the technical support plan, Deliverable No. 35, (submitted to DOE under cover of Grace/DOE CMG-263 dated December 8, 1981) in terms of changes either in the scope of work of particular subcontractors or changes in subcontractors involved. A subcontractor organizational chart showing the relationship between Grace and its lower-tier subcontractors is presented in figure 1. In support of the preliminary design and assessment effort, the Ralph M. Parsons Company (Parsons) supplied architect/engineering and related services as planned. Parsons supplemented their technical efforts with inputs from Texaco Development Corporation (TDC), Mobil Research and Development Corporation (MRDC), and other process technology licensors, both proprietary and nonproprietary, into the gasoline plant's overall design.
