Many influential citizens want a large center that would be a showcase for the area, but the mayor feels that if demand does not support such a center, the community will lose a large amount of money. To provide structure for the decision process, the council narrowed the building altematives to three sizes: small, medium, and large. Everybody agreed that the critical factor in choosing the best size is the number of people who will want to use the new facility. A regional planning consultant provided demand estimates under three scenarios: worst case, base case, and best case. The worst-case scenario corresponds to a situation in which tourism drops significantly; the base-case scenario corresponds to a situation in which the town continues to attract visitors at current levels; and the best-case scenario…arrow_forwardA Town Council has decided to build a new community center to be used for conventions, concerts, and other public events, but considerable controversy surrounds the appropriate size.

Countryside wants Moore Contractors to start in late winter or early spring, when the weather begins to moder- ate, and build on through the summer and into the fall. The summer months are an especially busy time for the realty company, and it believes it can sell the houses almost as soon as they are ready, and maybe even before. The houses all have similar floor plans and are of approximately equal size; only the exteriors are noticeably different. The comple- tion time is so critical for Countryside Realtors that it is insisting that a project management network accompany the contractor's bid for the job, with an estimate of the comple- tion time for a house. The realtor also needs to be able to plan its offerings and marketing for the summer. It wants each house to be completed within 45 days after it is started. Activity b C d f 8 h i j k…arrow_forward

The center has been contracted to host a large press conference to announce the intention, of the Republican senator representing her state to run for reelection. Despite Ms. Lange’s best efforts, the senator’s office is very unhappy with the physical condition of the civic center. “This is awful,” says the senator’s chief of staff. “The carpet is worn and the interiors need painting.

It’s too late to move the press conference now, but there is no way the senator is paying the contracted amount for this space. It’s just six years after we selected you, and now the conditions are terrible!” Despite the fact that the civic center is, indeed, six years older than it was at the time of the contract signing, it is not materially different, and Ms. Lange suspects that the complaint about the condition of…arrow_forwardANSWER ONLY LETTER Darrow_forward
