\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The G&E Company is preparing a bid to build the new 47,000 seat \u00a0Greendale baseball stadium. The construction must start July 1, 2011, \u00a0and be completed in time for the start of the 2014 season. A penalty \u00a0clause of $100,000 per day of delay beyond May 20, 2014, is written into \u00a0the contract.<\/p>\n

Ben Keith, the president of the company, expressed optimism at \u00a0obtaining the contract and revealed that the company could net as much \u00a0as $2 million on the project. He also said if they are successful, the \u00a0prospects for future projects are quite good since there is a projected \u00a0renaissance in building classic ball parks with modern luxury boxes.<\/p>\n

ASSIGNMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given the information provided in Table 6.3, construct a network schedule for the stadium project and answer the following questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Will the project be able to be completed by the May 20 deadline? How long will it take?<\/li>\n
  2. What is the critical path for the project?<\/li>\n
  3. Based on the schedule would you recommend that G&E pursue this \u00a0contact? Why? Include a one-page Gantt chart for the stadium schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    CASE APPENDIX: TECHNICAL DETAILS OF THE GREENDALE BASEBALL STADIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The baseball stadium is an outdoor structure with a retractable roof. \u00a0The project begins with clearing the site, an activity that lasts 70 \u00a0days. Once the site is clear, work can start simultaneously on the \u00a0structure itself and demolishing an adjacent building site. This \u00a0demolition is necessary to create a construction stage for storing \u00a0materials and equipment. It will take 30 days to demolish the buildings \u00a0and another 70 days to set up the construction site.<\/p>\n

    TABLE 6.3<\/strong> Greendale Stadium Case<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"image\"<\/p>\n

    The work on the stadium begins by driving 160 support pilings, which \u00a0will take 120 days. Next comes the pouring of the lower concrete bowl \u00a0(120 days). Once this is done and the construction site has been set up, \u00a0then the pouring of the main concourse (120 days), the installation of \u00a0the playing field (90 days), and the construction of the upper steel \u00a0bowl can occur (120 days).<\/p>\n

    Once the concourse and upper bowl are completed, work can start \u00a0simultaneously on building the luxury boxes (90 days), installing the \u00a0seats (140 days), installing the jumbotron (30 days), and installing \u00a0stadium infrastructure (120 days) which includes: bathrooms, lockers, \u00a0restaurants, etc. Once the seats are installed then the steel canopy can \u00a0be constructed (75 days) followed by the installation of the lights (30 \u00a0days).<\/p>\n

    The retractable roof represents the most significant technical \u00a0challenge to the project. Building the roof track supports (90 days) can \u00a0begin after the lower concrete bowl is constructed. At this time the \u00a0dimensions of the roof can be finalized and the construction of the roof \u00a0at a separate site can begin (180 days). After the roof supports are \u00a0completed then the roof tracks can be installed (90 days). Once the \u00a0tracks and the roof are completed then the roof can be installed and \u00a0made operational (90 days). Once all activities are completed it will \u00a0take 20 days to inspect the stadium.<\/p>\n

    For purposes of this case assume the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The following holidays are observed: January 1, Memorial Day (last \u00a0Monday in May), July 4th, Labor Day (first Monday in September), \u00a0Thanksgiving Day (4th Thursday in November), December 25 and 26.<\/li>\n
    2. If a holiday falls on a Saturday then Friday will be given as an \u00a0extra day off, and if it falls on a Sunday then Monday will be given as a \u00a0day off.<\/li>\n
    3. The construction crew work Monday through Friday.
