Answer and Explanation

5. 2. You are the project manager on the construction of a new sewage treatment plant.
Part of the work for this project is ensuring that an effective waste water disposal plan is
also created and executed. Since you don't have the internal expertise to develop and
execute the activities required to dispose of the waste water, you hold a bidder
conference to outsource this work. One of the stipulations for consideration of a
potential vendor for this work is that they have no EPA violations, and you communicate
this to all the potential vendors. You are about to award the contract to a vendor but
determine through your own research that this vendor was cited five years ago by the
EPA for illegal dumping of waste water. However, this vendor did not communicate this
information to you during the procurement process. What is your best course of action
in this scenario?
Sample PMP® Exam Question

6. A. Don't award the contract because of the possible effect of illegal dumping of waste
water by them in the future.
B. Award the contract because the illegal dumping of waste water happened five years
ago.
C. Don't award the contract because the vendor did not follow the stipulations given
during the bidding process.
D. Ask your project sponsor to decide whether or not to award the contract to this
potential vendor.
Hint: Which of the answer choices represents your ultimate responsibility as a project
manager?
Sample PMP® Exam Question

7. The correct answer is A
Explanation: Identify Risk. Hopefully you were able to see that the
contract should not be awarded in this scenario, and also that you as
the project manager are responsible for making this decision, not the
project sponsor. However, the best reason for not awarding the
contract to this vendor may have been a bit more difficult to
determine.
Although the vendor did not follow the stipulations given during the
bidding process (and also lied), a more important reason for not
awarding the contract is the fact that the vendor was previously cited
for illegal waste water dumping by the EPA, and may actually do this
again. Section 2.2.1 of the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional
Conduct states 'We make decisions and take actions based on the best
interests of society, public safety, and the environment'.
Because selecting this vendor may have an adverse impact on the
environment based on their past history, it is your ultimate
responsibility as the project manager not to award this contract in
order to protect the environment.
