Activity 13

G&E company is in the process of organizing plans for the construction of a new

Shoreline stadium within a capacity of 47000 people. The project is expected to start on 3rd July

2017 and be complete on 3rd April 2020. The project is expected to be completed in time to host

the baseball of the year 2020. Failure to commence the project on the stated dates will attract a

$250,000 penalty for each day that goes beyond the starting date. After a careful examination of

the terms of the contract with a good understanding of the project requirements, the President

opted to call a meeting to help create an understanding of the details of the project and determine

whether the problem is feasible for the company to take.

The project has several features that will be key for consideration in the decision-making

process. One of the project's major considerations is the critical path that outlines the project's

key activities and the possibility of the number of days the project will take to complete. The

project has a critical path that takes 695 days to complete. The various estimates have assured

G&E that the project will be completed within 695 days, considering the alternative critical paths

for the project (Larson & Gray, 2013). for the 3rd April and 3rd June of 2017, the project will have

a slack time of 54 days. This shows that the project will probably experience delays and thus

attract a penalty of $250,000 per day for the entire 54 day period. However, the project will offer

profitability of three million besides a brand value besides reputation for the company, which

will play a major role in winning other contracts in the future.

inspection.

Recommendations

The project team and project managers must recognize the impact of the three major

activities on the project, including demolition of buildings, laying of the lower-bowl concrete,

and installing the playground. These activities are key since their completion will mark the

commencement of the project activities (Larson & Gray, 2013). all other activities can only start

after completion of the first activities are complete. However, despite the possibility of the late

start, the project is feasible for the company and should be taken.
