1. Introduction Request for Proposals: A public parking lot in Beaconsfield Group project, ENGR 301 H, fall 2023, Dr. R. Tadayon This is a fictitious project. The City of Montreal has decided to plan, design, and construct a public parking lot in Beaconsfield (West Island). To encourage residents of Beaconsfield to use electric vehicles (EV), the City has decided to install several "charging stations" in this parking lot. The City has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a scoping of the feasibility of this project. Your team has decided to submit a proposal. Solid cost estimates and project plans, including the timeline for completion, are critical to the City's ability to evaluate this initiative. This proposal should be considered a first scoping report that lays out the approach with sufficient detailed plans and costs. You should prove that your team has (1) the project management capabilities and (2) ample technical knowledge to conduct engineering economic analyses. To be competitive in this RFP, your proposal must provide a description of the various elements of this design project, including a breakdown of the components of the activities of this project, the duration and dependencies of this project, and the costing. Also, your proposal should address other factors that need to be considered, including environmental, ethical, and social factors. The location of the proposed project is shown on the following map (Google Maps). The parking lot should have an entrance and an exit separated by a booth. The parking lot should have a capacity of n vehicles with m charging stations. Here, n and m are integers obtained using the following formulas (round them to the nearest integers). n = 50+9 your group number ; m = 4 + your group number

The rationale for these dependencies should be clearly explained. The activities and dependencies should be illustrated in a precedence diagram (AON). 3.4 An overview schedule in Gantt format showing all activities and project milestones, project meetings, interim reports, and progress reports required. Also, an indieation of the critical path is needed. 3.5 Description of assumptions, references, and calculations applied in developing a detailed cost estimate of the project. Include a schedule of fees for staff to be assigned to the project development and construction. 3.6 A description of the professional, social, environmental, and ethical components of the project
