5. CONTRACTOR ADMINISTRATION

5.1 COMMUNICATION PLAN – This communication plan diagram below allows you to view the different type of communication on this project and the center of all communication is the project manager.

5.2 Change Order/Scope Creep: Change in scope will only be initiated, and authorized through a change order by the TV management.

6. RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN

Risk Factors: The factors that will give rise to uncertainties are basically the following.

6.1 The probable incompleteness of the activities as reconciled by Edgar’s estimator and the foreman.

Risks: The following risks have been identified.

The incompleteness of the activities/project requirements as reconciled by the estimator and general foreman resulting in the following not being considered, in terms of cost and schedule

Schedule: The times for accomplishing the following tasks.

- procurement of materials for building (cement, lumbers, tiles)

- procurement of base materials for road

- procurement of the fuel tank

- procurement of the septic tank

- testing and commissioning of installed electrical/other equipment

- excavation for underground cable

- excavation for septic tank

- leasing of earthmoving equipment, concrete mixer, crane, road equipment

Cost: The following labor costs.

- excavation for underground cable

- excavation for septic tank

- testing and commissioning of electrical/other equipment

- procurement of materials for the building

- procurement of base materials for the road

- procurement of septic tank

- procurement of fuel tank



6.6 The coordination of the provision on site, at the required time, of the specified electrical / other equipment for the building by the client

6.7 The appointment of competent equipment leasing company to ensure that the project schedule is not disrupted

6.8 Authorization of the project plan by Edgar company senior management

7.4 A revision of equipment resource histogram to accommodate excavation for underground cable

7.5 A revision of indirect cost to accommodate the procurement of materials for the road, septic tank, fuel tank

7.6 The project manager is to liaise with the client, as regards the delivery of electrical/other equipment for the building. It is suggested that he, along with the client, review the production and delivery schedule of the supplier of the materials to ensure it is in line with the project schedule. It is further recommended that the client formerly authorizes the project manager to progress and expedite the procurement to ensure compliance with quality and project schedule

7.7 Competent equipment leasing companies will be appointment to reduce downtime, which will effect project delivery. In addition, alternative companies will be appointed on call-up basis to immediately fill any gap that may be created by equipment breakdown

7.8 Starting from project inception, the Earned Value Analysis will be deployed to monitor and control the project performance in terms of schedule, cost and quality. This way, negative trends will be detected, and corrective measures taken to reverse them.

With the project schedule and Cost schedule, the cost variance/cost performance index and the schedule performance index, will continuously be monitored to achieve the following.

Determine the performance of the project in terms of cost and schedule Note any negative trend and analysis the causes of the trend Proffer solution to reverse the negative trend Anticipate any future negative trend, mitigate against it. Estimate, on a continuous basis, the estimated time of completion, and the estimated cost to

completion, for the project.

11. The project plan is submitted to management for review and approval.
