This assignment provides you with an opportunity to
demonstrate the development and achievement of the following
course learning outcomes:
Construct a New Recreational Community Centre
The Town of Newfane has experienced rapid growth because of
several new housing developments that have doubled the
population over the last six years. In turn, this has led to a
significant increase in year-over-year tax revenue for the
Town. This has afforded the Town the opportunity to provide
additional services to the community. However, the Town
currently lacks the facilities to support such services. The
regional council has recently voted to
develop a Recreational Community Centre
to be built on the municipal lands near the Town Hall.
Project Rationale
The new Centre will provide residents with facilities that will
help bring the community together. It will also provide the
opportunity to adequately support competitive supports with
other towns and cities. The new complex will be state of the art
and could be used to attract top tier athletes that the Town of
Newfane was not previously able to recruit. The complex will
continue to strengthen the Town’s relationship with the local
community through interaction programs such as hockey,
swimming, and basketball camps as well as local fundraising
events.
Project Objectives and Goals
The main objective of the project is to provide the local
community with high quality sporting facilities to encourage
both friendly and competitive events that will help promote the
Town’s team spirit. The goal of the project is to improve
facilities so that they are at a standard and level to other
prestigious facilities across the country.
Anticipated Benefits
Interest to utilize the facility by other athletes across the
country
Increased revenue to the Town and the local community from
events
Healthier and happier community
Creates a positive work-life balance for people
Improves the Towns’ reputation when they host national
conferences
Project Alternatives
Most construction projects offer a number of alternatives to
clients (e.g. bronze, silver, gold). A number of community
consultation and collaborative sessions were held with the local
community to develop a concrete list of facility amenities. The
project team worked hard to finalize this list to avoid further
changes during design and construction. After careful
deliberation, the Town has decided to go with the “gold”
alternative.
The gold package comes with a facility that will be modern, fit-
for-purpose, and complete with sports and swimming facilities.
It will be designed to meet the needs of today’s public leisure
users and the entire community.
The proposed 150,000 square foot facility will include the
following:
Hockey rink
25m main Swimming Pool
Learner pool
Fitness Suite
6 community multi-purpose studios
Gymnasium/ basketball court
1,400 parking spaces
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Before developing a Gantt chart, it’s important to complete a
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to illustrate the key
components of the project. The complex will consist of a new
150,000 square foot facility with all of the elements mentioned
above (e.g. hockey rink, 25m swimming pool, learner pool etc.)
plus other components such as project management activities,
lounges, and food concession areas. When breaking down your
work, think about all these components as well as everything
that goes into it (e.g. lighting, flooring, restrooms, seating,
scoreboards, etc.)
Cost Estimates
Newfane Town Council initiated the project with funds secured
from the new tax revenue generated because of the housing
development and developer levies collected to support
infrastructure projects. However, initial funding of $40M
budgeted for the project were found to be insufficient to achieve
the requirements and further funding was required. Town
Recreation and Infrastructure Project Committees constructed a
business plan that secured an additional $25M from Provincial
grant for a total project budget of
$65M
.
Below is an estimated cost per square-foot (SF) to construct the
Centre. Use it to determine what the cost is for each resource
along with the % of total budget dedicated to each resource.

Resource Estimates
To successfully build the Recreational Community Centre, a
Project Team with several resources were assembled. This
includes the following:
Town Council
Town Recreation and Infrastructure Project Committee
Architectural Firm (Lawrence and Yonge)
Main Contractor (Willis and Don)
Design Team
Stakeholders from the Local Community
Risks and Mitigation Strategies
Risks are inherent on every project. Building a large-scale
Recreational Community Centre comes with own set of risks.
When completing your report, you will need to think about
different types of risks and how you will mitigate them.
Constraints
Below are some constraints for building the new Recreational
Community Centre:
Project is slated to start on September of current year and
expected to last 12 months
Work must be completed prior to the Grand Opening in
September of the following year
Key decision makers may be difficult to contact during project
(e.g. vacations, sick days)
Paired Assignment – Peer Evaluation (10%)
The Paired Assignment has a Peer Evaluation. What that means
is each person will evaluate his or her teammate in terms of
their contribution. This is an INDIVIDUAL assignment so each
of you MUST submit your own evaluation form.
This will be in Moodle and the link to the file is located
HERE
.
Note: Failure to submit the form will result in a loss of 10% of
your overall grade.
Paired Assignment – PDF Report (20%)
Each report is expected to consist of the 7 following
components.
Project Scope Statement (6 parts)
Project Objective
– Answers the questions of what, when and how much
Deliverables
– Tangible or intangible goods or services to be created
Milestones
– Major events to show segments of completed work
Technical Requirements
– Any performance specs needed for a product / service
Limits & Exclusions
– List Items outside of the scope to establish boundaries
Customer Reviews
– who is your point of contact? How will you manage
expectations?
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Create a WBS structure in a hierarchical format
Can be structured by “phase” or by “deliverable” (either one is
fine)
Tasks should be:
Manageable – authority and responsibility can be assigned
Measurable – it should be easy to track progress on it
Independent – not dependent on other activities
Rule of thumb:
Stay between 5 to 8 columns wide
Stay between 4 to 5 rows down
Gantt Chart
Create a Gantt chart for your Project
Note: the use of MS Project is not mandatory
Use the template provided or any software available to assist in
building the Gantt (e.g. PowerPoint, Visio, Excel, PowerPoint
or MS Word)
Use the WBS created above to match the breakdown of the
Gantt Chart
Include key deliverables and milestones
Conduct research when necessary and use industry knowledge
when appropriate
Budget
Use the information provided to create a budget for this project
Develop the budget in an excel spreadsheet or word document
(either is fine)
Risks and Mitigation Strategies
Planning
– what risks come with planning a greenfield (undeveloped)
project with nearby houses and substantial change?
Schedule Delays
– what will be the impact of a delay in the project? How can
you minimize it? How can you avoid disruption to the local
community? What will be your Plan B?
Cost Increases
– sometimes the prices of material increase due to an increase
in demand (e.g. raw material such as wood, steel, glass). How
can you avoid this problem?
Environmental
– since this is a greenfield project, what kind of an impact
could this have to the environment and, potentially, to
endangered species? How can you mitigate that? What about
flood risk?
Conclusion
What were your Key Findings?
Will the project finish on time and within budget? Why or why
not?
References
Use at least 3 references to support your project
References can include articles, case studies, textbooks
Remember to use APA formatting when citing references
Note:
Do NOT use CourseHero, Wikipedia, CourseRaptor, or any
other paid tutoring service. The sharing of academic college
property through these types of platforms is considered an act
of academic dishonesty.
Submission Format
Length and space: 8-10 pages max, single side, double-spaced
(excluding references and appendices)
Font type: Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman
Font size: 12 points
Citation guide: APA Style
File type: complete in MS Word but submit as a PDF
Include a cover page at the front with your Team #, Section #,
and partner names

  • 2. Paired Assignment - Peer Evaluation 10% Paired Assignment - PDF Report 20% TOTAL 30% This assignment provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate the development and achievement of the following course learning outcomes: Construct a New Recreational Community Centre The Town of Newfane has experienced rapid growth because of several new housing developments that have doubled the population over the last six years. In turn, this has led to a significant increase in year-over-year tax revenue for the Town. This has afforded the Town the opportunity to provide additional services to the community. However, the Town currently lacks the facilities to support such services. The regional council has recently voted to develop a Recreational Community Centre to be built on the municipal lands near the Town Hall. Project Rationale The new Centre will provide residents with facilities that will help bring the community together. It will also provide the opportunity to adequately support competitive supports with other towns and cities. The new complex will be state of the art and could be used to attract top tier athletes that the Town of
  • 3. Newfane was not previously able to recruit. The complex will continue to strengthen the Town’s relationship with the local community through interaction programs such as hockey, swimming, and basketball camps as well as local fundraising events. Project Objectives and Goals The main objective of the project is to provide the local community with high quality sporting facilities to encourage both friendly and competitive events that will help promote the Town’s team spirit. The goal of the project is to improve facilities so that they are at a standard and level to other prestigious facilities across the country. Anticipated Benefits Interest to utilize the facility by other athletes across the country Increased revenue to the Town and the local community from events Healthier and happier community Creates a positive work-life balance for people Improves the Towns’ reputation when they host national conferences Project Alternatives Most construction projects offer a number of alternatives to clients (e.g. bronze, silver, gold). A number of community
  • 4. consultation and collaborative sessions were held with the local community to develop a concrete list of facility amenities. The project team worked hard to finalize this list to avoid further changes during design and construction. After careful deliberation, the Town has decided to go with the “gold” alternative. The gold package comes with a facility that will be modern, fit- for-purpose, and complete with sports and swimming facilities. It will be designed to meet the needs of today’s public leisure users and the entire community. The proposed 150,000 square foot facility will include the following: Hockey rink 25m main Swimming Pool Learner pool Fitness Suite 6 community multi-purpose studios Gymnasium/ basketball court 1,400 parking spaces Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Before developing a Gantt chart, it’s important to complete a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to illustrate the key components of the project. The complex will consist of a new
  • 5. 150,000 square foot facility with all of the elements mentioned above (e.g. hockey rink, 25m swimming pool, learner pool etc.) plus other components such as project management activities, lounges, and food concession areas. When breaking down your work, think about all these components as well as everything that goes into it (e.g. lighting, flooring, restrooms, seating, scoreboards, etc.) Cost Estimates Newfane Town Council initiated the project with funds secured from the new tax revenue generated because of the housing development and developer levies collected to support infrastructure projects. However, initial funding of $40M budgeted for the project were found to be insufficient to achieve the requirements and further funding was required. Town Recreation and Infrastructure Project Committees constructed a business plan that secured an additional $25M from Provincial grant for a total project budget of $65M . Below is an estimated cost per square-foot (SF) to construct the Centre. Use it to determine what the cost is for each resource along with the % of total budget dedicated to each resource. Item Cost/SF per item Cost per Item % of Total Budget per Item Contractor Fees

This includes the following: Town Council Town Recreation and Infrastructure Project Committee Architectural Firm (Lawrence and Yonge) Main Contractor (Willis and Don)
  • 7. Design Team Stakeholders from the Local Community Risks and Mitigation Strategies Risks are inherent on every project. Building a large-scale Recreational Community Centre comes with own set of risks. When completing your report, you will need to think about different types of risks and how you will mitigate them. Constraints Below are some constraints for building the new Recreational Community Centre: Project is slated to start on September of current year and expected to last 12 months Work must be completed prior to the Grand Opening in September of the following year Key decision makers may be difficult to contact during project (e.g. vacations, sick days) Paired Assignment – Peer Evaluation (10%) The Paired Assignment has a Peer Evaluation. What that means is each person will evaluate his or her teammate in terms of their contribution. This is an INDIVIDUAL assignment so each of you MUST submit your own evaluation form. This will be in Moodle and the link to the file is located
  • 8. HERE . Note: Failure to submit the form will result in a loss of 10% of your overall grade. Paired Assignment – PDF Report (20%) Each report is expected to consist of the 7 following components. Project Scope Statement (6 parts) Project Objective – Answers the questions of what, when and how much Deliverables – Tangible or intangible goods or services to be created Milestones – Major events to show segments of completed work Technical Requirements – Any performance specs needed for a product / service Limits & Exclusions – List Items outside of the scope to establish boundaries Customer Reviews – who is your point of contact? How will you manage expectations? Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
  • 9. Create a WBS structure in a hierarchical format Can be structured by “phase” or by “deliverable” (either one is fine) Tasks should be: Manageable – authority and responsibility can be assigned Measurable – it should be easy to track progress on it Independent – not dependent on other activities Rule of thumb: Stay between 5 to 8 columns wide Stay between 4 to 5 rows down Gantt Chart Create a Gantt chart for your Project Note: the use of MS Project is not mandatory Use the template provided or any software available to assist in building the Gantt (e.g. PowerPoint, Visio, Excel, PowerPoint or MS Word) Use the WBS created above to match the breakdown of the Gantt Chart
  • 10. Include key deliverables and milestones Conduct research when necessary and use industry knowledge when appropriate Budget Use the information provided to create a budget for this project Develop the budget in an excel spreadsheet or word document (either is fine) Risks and Mitigation Strategies Planning – what risks come with planning a greenfield (undeveloped) project with nearby houses and substantial change? Schedule Delays – what will be the impact of a delay in the project? How can you minimize it? How can you avoid disruption to the local community? What will be your Plan B? Cost Increases – sometimes the prices of material increase due to an increase in demand (e.g. raw material such as wood, steel, glass). How can you avoid this problem? Environmental – since this is a greenfield project, what kind of an impact could this have to the environment and, potentially, to endangered species? How can you mitigate that? What about
