The fire station in Grindvik municipality, dating back to the mid-1960s, falls short of meeting all the requirements for a modern facility. Consequently, municipal politicians have decided to construct a new fire station that not only addresses current deficiencies but also aligns with principles of sustainability. The politicians have clearly stated that the new fire station must not cost more than 150 million and should be completed within 18 months. The new fire station will be designed to accommodate more fire trucks, incorporate moder equipment and technology, and serve as an exemplar of energy efficiency. Given that a primary school and sports center are close neighbors to the fire station, special attention will be given to ensuring the safety and well-being of these neighboring facilities. On the roof, solar panels should be installed to ensure that the station is largely self-sufficient in terms of electricity power, with the potential even to export surplus power. To further enhance sustainability, the project aims to use "reused" asphalt (green asphalt) and old bricks in construction. The goal is to create a sustainable building with a positive impact on the indoor climate for the staff. Anticipated benefits of the new fire station include enhanced emergency preparedness and safety for the municipality. The comprehensive project encompasses various areas of expertise, including design/drawing work, groundwork, construction, interior design, electrical installations, plumbing, and asphalt work, all guided by a commitment to sustainability. Information you believe is missing to answer the questions below, you can assume yourself. QUESTION 1 (weight 30%) a) Explain why this can be defined as a project. Develop a goal hierarchy for this project where you define business/society goal, purpose, project goal/output, and input. b) Identify five key stakeholders for the project and develop a stakeholder analysis. Discuss, based on the curriculum, what kind of relationship the project should have with these stakeholders and why. c) Based on the project manager's compass model from the curriculum, discuss three directions that you believe the project manager in this project should pay special attention to and why.
