I need help answering this two question. I have attached the instruction below

1. What should be done to ensure appropriate closure of this project

and why?

2. Should this project have a project audit? Why or why not? If it should

have a project audit, then how should that project audit be done

and why? (Be sure to address the who, what, when, where, why, and how

parts of this last subquestion as well as mentioning the general

characteristics of a high-quality project audit effort, should you elect

to state that a project audit should be done.) Sometimes it is useful to give the two states real or fictitious names to make

writing about them a bit more convenien

Background and Context-setting Information:

Assume that a three-year bridge construction project has

just concluded resulting in a modern six-lane structure

that spans a major river connecting two cities. Each of the

two cities resides in a different state. The new bridge

replaces a late-1940s steel structure two-lane bridge that

was originally dedicated to World War II military veterans.

The new bridge was constructed approximately 100 yards

upstream from the bridge that it will be replacing. The old

bridge is still standing and in operation, but destruction of

the old bridge will begin approximately two weeks after

the new bridge is dedicated and opened to traffic. The local

Chambers of Commerce in each of the two cities connected

by the bridge have been pushing for its replacement for the

past 20 years. Various politicians at many state and local levels

from each state have been actively involved (either in supporting

or opposing the push to get the project funded, scheduled, and

completed). At least two area historical groups have been vocal,

especially in the past four years, about the old bridge's future.

Representatives of smaller towns and cities along the major

highways leading into the two cities that the new bridge connects

have long supported the bridge renovation and have recently hailed

it as a great boost to the region's economy. There are multiple

newspapers in each of the two cities that the bridge connects,

with one dominant newspaper that serves both markets. One of the

cities connected by the bridge has four local television stations

and the city in the other state has none. Workers from a general

contractor and seventeen subcontractors have worked on the new

bridge project, as well as employees of the primary Architectural firm

and two consulting Architectural firms. Various state and federal

government agencies have been directly or indirectly involved in the

project as well. As the river spanned by the new bridge is a navigable

river downstream from the bridge (and also for a much shorter distance

upstream from the bridge), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has also

been actively involved. Various lobbying groups have supported or

opposed the bridge project during its life and during the years leading

up to the project getting started. These lobbyists have been the voice

of many different types of groups that range across many interests

from environmental groups to trucking industry groups as examples.

As the new bridge has required that new highway approaches be constructed

along each side of the river that it spans, various businesses and two

very small residential neighborhoods have been impacted by the new

bridge's approach roads. Several small businesses on either side of

the river from the old bridge fear that life will change dramatically when

the old bridge closes. The arts community in the region has successfully

sought to provide input into the design of the new bridge and that bridge

will feature special lighting to make it aesthetically appealing at night.

The project manager for the new bridge and the key project team members

have worked diligently for the entire duration of the project to bring the

project to completion within one week of the scheduled completion date

and slightly under budget. Inspection of the new bridge, to ensure that

it meets specifications and is safe for the public, is currently underway

and will be completed within the next month. The new bridge project has

been completed with a combination of local, federal, and state (from each

of the two states) funding.
