...does not mean the contractor can start doing the work. Before the project can proceed, a contract must be signed between the customer and the contractor. A contract is a vehicle for establishing good customer–contractor communications and arriving at a mutual understanding and clear expectations to ensure project success. It is an agreement between the contractor, who agrees to perform the project and to provide a product or service (deliverables), and the customer, who agrees to pay the contractor a certain amount in return. The contract must clearly spell out the deliverables the contractor is expected to provide. For example, a contract will state that the project result will meet certain specifications or that certain documentation will be provided. The contract must also state the terms by which the customer will make payments to the contractor. There are basically two types of contracts: fixed-price and cost-reimbursement. FIXED-PRICE CONTRACTS In a fixed-price contract, the customer and the contractor agree on a price for the proposed work. The price remains fixed unless the customer and the contractor agree on changes. This type of contract provides low risk for the customer because the customer will not pay more than the fixed price, regardless of how much the project actually costs the contractor. However, a fixed-price contract is high risk for the contractor because if the cost of completing the project is more than originally planned, the contractor will make a lower...

It involves consideration of whether to procure, how to procure, what to procure, how much to procure, and when to procure it. When the project obtains products and services from outside the performing organization, the processes from solicitation planning. (Project Management Institute) Request for quotation A request for quotation (RFQ) is a standard business process whose purpose is to invite suppliers into a bidding process to bid on specific products or services. RFQ generally means the same thing as IFB (Invitation for Bid). An RFQ typically involves more than the price per item.

...Assume you are the project manager for a new business venture. This venture will require financing, but once completed, will generate revenue and, eventually, a profit over cost. For CP-1, you are to write a Project Proposal with enough detail to convince investors to finance your idea. This Project Proposal will require detailed cost and revenue estimates and a credible schedule to win investor support. Select a venture of personal interest. Read the Proposal Requirements below to help you select a suitable idea. For example, select a venture where you can identify realistic cost and scheduling concerns. Opening a small retail storefront or a franchise is one example. Do NOT propose building a house, because investors typically already have financing before beginning such a project. When selecting your project, keep in mind the goal of CP-1 is to apply the techniques introduced during the course. Focus on detailed cost estimating, scheduling, and project justification. Estimating includes specific assumptions made during the estimating process, as well as quantities, unit prices, hourly rates for tasks, and accumulated totals.

...to submit, until the end of February, two proposals regarding two new university buildings. The preparation of a proposal for the first building involves a cost of forty (40) thousand Euros. Preparing a proposal for the second building costs twenty (20) thousand Euros. If the proposal for the first building is accepted, the company will earn one hundred and twenty (120) thousand Euros. If the proposal for the second building is accepted the earnings will be seventy (70) thousand Euros. The final profit is given by the total earnings (resulting from the accepted proposals) minus the total costs of preparation of the proposals. The architecture company has the option to submit no proposal, to submit a proposal for only one of the buildings, or to submit proposals for the two buildings. Any of the submitted proposals may be accepted or rejected. If two proposals are submitted, it is possible that none is accepted, only one is accepted, or both are accepted. In the particular case that both proposals are submitted and both are accepted then there will be severe problems implementing both projects simultaneously implying an extra cost of fifty (50) thousand Euros (to be deducted from profits). There is a 50% probability that a proposal for the first building is accepted. The probability that a proposal for the second building is accepted is 50%. The acceptance of one proposal is independent of the acceptance of the other proposal. Answer the following questions by presenting...

...Project Management and Analysis (MBA 721) Group Assignment I. Case Analysis (Group 7) Case 07: Lavasoft.com Lavasoft Company, a web site development firm, is developing new site software for one of its corporate clients. The project starts out well. Lavasoft staffers meet frequently with client representatives to produce a document of clearly stated client needs and requirements. There is no question about what the client needs; however, members of the Lavasoft development team disagree about the kind of system that would best satisfy these needs. The project manager, Mary West, is concerned about the time this project will take. She feels that the kind of system that would best satisfy the user needs is more or less obvious, and she asks a few people on the team to help her create some bullet points and general flowcharts to address the requirements. She also creates a project schedule. She then presents the charts and schedule to the rest of the development team and says that anyone is free to question her about them. Some people are concerned that the approach as stated by the bullet points and the high-level charts are too vague. Mary assures them that the vagueness will be worked out as details of the system are defined. A team of designers is selected to perform the detailed design and development work. To speed up decision making and reduce outside interference, the team’s size is kept small and relatively isolated from other development teams in the company. Daily the...
