Assignment Background and Description In assignment 2, you should have created the required documentation to conduct procurements for the Punta Cana Pier Project. The documentation could be in the form of a RFP, RFQ, or RFI, or a combination of these documents. The documents created would depend on the resource that needs to be procured, and the technical details available. For this assignment, you will map out the process for conducting the procurements. You will use MS Project to create a detailed WBS of the tasks required to conduct the procurements, control the procurements, and close the procurements.

Procurement Strategy As your organization (True North Construction) does not have a clearly defined procurement process, you will use the Punta Cana Pier Project as an opportunity to define the process. The process you define will become the organizations initial procurement process and will be used for procurements on future projects. It will become an organizational process asset, and will be subject to updates and revision in future projects Senior management has also requested that you track any costs associated with defining the procurement process, as well as the costs associated with executing the process.
