The G&E Company is preparing a bid to build the new 47,000-seat Ventura baseball stadium.
The construction must start on June 10, 2023, and be completed in time for the start of the
2026 season. A penalty clause of $500,000 per day of delay beyond April 3rd is written into
the contract.
Percival Young, the president of the company, expressed optimism at obtaining the contract
and revealed that the company could net as much as $3 million on the project. He also said
if they were successful, the prospects of future projects are bright since there is a projected
renaissance in building classic ball parks with modern luxury boxes.
Given the information provided in Table 2, and considering that the construction crew work
Monday through Friday, develop a WBS and Gantt chart and a network for the stadium
project using MS Project. Next, answer the following questions:
 Will the project be able to be completed by the April 3rd deadline? How long will it take?
 What is the critical path for the project?
