Ventura Baseball Stadium$$Part A

The G$\backslash$&E Company is preparing a bid to build the new $47,000-$seat Shoreline baseball stadium. The construction must start on June $10,2019,$ and be completed in time for the start of the $2022$ season. A penalty clause of $\backslash (\backslash$$ $500,000\backslash )$ per day of delay beyond April $3$rd is written into the contract.

Percival Young, the president of the company, expressed optimism at obtaining the contract and revealed that the company could net as much as $\backslash (\backslash$$ $5\backslash )$ million on the project.
