Project Management Requirements Prof. Ralph Locurcio, PE Dr. Troy Nguyen, PE

 Project 1 – Prepare proposal – Fall Semester  Purpose is to win the project  Proposal must state why your team is best  Must include a Project Management Plan in the proposal  Must include your proposed fee  Project 2 – Construct the project – Spring Semester  Verify the 5% stage  Construction 15, 50, 95, 100%  Develop project details & construction drawings  Manage & report on 50, 95,100%  Integrate all elements into unified project  Prepare display for Design Showcase in April  Estimate cost of 15, 50, 95,100%  Prepare and include a construction schedule  Turn in written report

1.Title Page – follow instructions 2.Table of Contents – separate tab for each section 3.Introduction  Problem Statement, Background & Scope of Work - what’s included & what’s not  Discussion of Key Elements, Project Sketch – what is it, geometry  Team Organization – who will do it 4. Project Management Plan  Work Breakdown Structure & Project Budget  Project Flow Diagram – flow of design tasks over time (Draft-1)  Design Schedule (MS Project) – (Draft-2)  Construction Cost Estimate – cost to actually build the project  Conceptual in Proposal, 5% & 15% design  Detailed at 50%, 95% & 100% in Design-2  Construction schedule at 50% – when project will be built

6.Project Sketch & Layout  Shows boundaries and major features  Sketch adds “proposed” size & features  All team members should participate in these drawings 7.Design Investigation Report  Written Technical Report – consult with advisor  Include such items as: Problem(s) to be solved in the design Logic of size of key features Options considered; cite the pros & cons of each Applicable codes, ordinances or criteria that will control the project Cite all technical information to be used Concept decision – what engineering design method will be used and why Constraints – cite any political, environmental or physical limitations 8. Appendices & List of References

They enable you to be proactive rather than reactive…

 Project Flow Diagram your road map/GPS  Project Schedule your speedometer  Project Budget your fuel gauge

Don’t forget To update duration At each % stage!!! WBS

Don’t forget To show totals At each % stage!!! Don’t forget To update duration At each % stage!!! Budget

 Conceptual Construction Cost  Based on historical data  Itemize components.  Use cost per SF or unit pricing data  Data from similar project  Be sure to update for location & timing

 Detailed Construction Cost – 50%, 95%, 100%  Due in Project-2 reports  Based on actual data  Itemize all components  More detail as design is completed  Obtain pricing for elements online, RS Means, other.  Include all cost elements: materials, labor, logistics  See template; all use same format  Be sure to summarize cost of entire project  Should be 90-95% accurate
