New community playground

You are employed by a local council as a Project Manager. The council have just approved a Project Charter for a new community playground. They have allocated 1,000 square meters of green space, and have allocated a budget of $250,000. The open space is currently home to a derelict vehicle, as well as other waste materials dumped over the years. It is also prone to flooding, so flood-proof pathways from the street to the playground equipment are included in the project. The council occupational health and safety office have stipulated that the surface under the playground equipment must be made of soft-fall material, and a water drinking fountain and rubbish bin are to be provided. These facilities have been included in the project scope. The council approved the Project Charter on the 1st of June and want the playground to be finished by the 1st December to ensure it is open for the summer holiday period.

You have been allocated a small project team from the council services to do the site preparation, installation of pathways, installation of soft-fall base and other facilities, and landscaping. A separate company, ‘Fun Kids Play Equipment' has been contracted to supply and install the playground equipment. The quote for the supply and installation of the playground equipment has been accepted and totals $140,000.

Your project team comprises you as Project Manager, a landscape gardener, a concreter and a plumber, and you are all able to help and do general duties.
