Project Management Requirements CVE 4091 - Design 1 Project Management Requirements

Project Phases Design 1 – Prepare proposal Purpose is to win the design Proposal must state why your team is best Must include a Project Management Plan in the proposal Must include your proposed fee for design Design 2 – Design the project Verify the proposal @ 5% stage Design phases @ 15, 50, 95,100% Develop engineering details & construction drawings Manage & report on status@15, 50, 95,100% Integrate all design elements into unified project Prepare display for Design Showcase in April Estimate cost of construction @ 15, 50, 95,100% Written report is graded at each stage

Proposal Contents-1 Title Page – follow instructions Letter of Transmittal – transmits your fee/price; PM signs Table of Contents – separate tab for each section Introduction Project Background – focus the reader Scope of Work – what’s included & what’s not Project Site Map – where is it Team Organization – who will do it Project Management Plan Project Flow Diagram – flow of tasks over time Work Breakdown Structure – who will do each task Design Budget (fee) – what will each task cost Design Schedule (MS Project) – when will each task be completed Conceptual cost of construction – cost to actually build the project

Proposal Contents-2 Project Layout & Base Map Base Map shows data on boundaries and major features Layout adds “proposed” location and size of engineering features: roads, piping systems, retention ponds, etc. All team members should participate in this drawing Preliminary Design Investigation - each engineer Written Technical Report – consult with engineering advisor Include such items as: Engineering problem(s) to be solved in the design Logic of location & size of engineering features Design options considered; cite the pros & cons of each Applicable codes, ordinances or criteria that will control the design Cite all technical information to be used in the design Design decision – what engineering design method will be used and why Constraints – cite any political, environmental or physical limitations Global, Societal and Professional Issues Appendices & List of References

Project Management Tools = Your Project Dashboard They enable you to be proactive rather than reactive…

Work Breakdown Structure

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

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

Design Schedule – MS Project

Conceptual Cost Estimate Preliminary Construction Cost Based on historical data Itemize components: W&WW, Structure, Roads, etc. Base on similar project Use cost per SF or similar data Be sure to update for location & timing Example: construct a 300-bed college dorm @ FIT Base: 2008 UCF example @ $25,000/bed (Const data or RS Means) Location: Melbourne vs. Orlando = 0.83 (RS Means) Timing: Inflation = 10% 2008-2014 (Internet) Conceptual cost = $7,500,000 x .83 x 1.1 = $6,847,500
