1. Is there anything the team should have done when they received only three proposals by June 30?
2. Should the team consider the proposal from Asia General Contractors? Why?
3. After sharing their individual comments at the start of the July 15 meeting, how should the team proceed with the rest of the meeting and any follow-up?
4. How could the selection process have been improved? Is there anything the Board, I.M. Uno, Alysha or the team could have done differently?

The team was disappointed that they received only three proposals; they had expected at least eight.
On July 5, a fourth proposal was received from Asia General Contractors, a company based in China. The proposal was for $160 million. They had built many facilities in China for other global corporations and stated that they have good knowledge of many credible trade subcontractors in China that would be needed to build the facility. They also stated that they could complete the project in 20 months.
The team scheduled a meeting for July 15 to discuss the proposals, and, as a team, to score each of the proposals with respect to the evaluation criteria. That provided the team members with two weeks to individually read the proposals and develop their individual comments about each proposal, but they agreed not to individually score the proposals prior to the July 15 meeting.
