SOUTH AFRICA

R$22$ million paid for no work

$30$ September $2010-11$:$30$BY SOWETAN

The departments of public works, roads, and transport, along with the provincial health department and treasury, announced

yesterday that it was willing to pay Tsogo Developers R$22$ million despite the company's failure to complete construction on

the R$456,5$m Brits Hospital.

Tsogo and llima Projects were awarded the R$456,5$ million contract in $2005$ and construction began on November $25,2008.$

But work stopped in May this year after Ilima was liquidated. At the time Ilima had a portfolio of construction projects worth

more than R$1-$billion and employed about $700$ people. Public works spokesperson Roberta Makhambeni told Sowetan

yesterday that the department had good reason to pay. $"$In order to fast$-$track the re$-$appointment of the new contractor, the

department opted for a settlement instead of the final account, which would have delayed the process," Makhambeni said.

Now a new contractor $-$ JR Stock and Stocks, who lost out in the initial bidding for the contract $-$ has been hired to complete

the project. The hospital is scheduled to open in July $2012.$ Makhambeni said "they were second$-$best $($in the initial bidding

process$)$ and had the right grading". Tsogo and Ilima were paid R$57$ million before construction was stopped in May. Ilima's

financial problems affected other projects, among them:

$-$the R$137$ million for a government office complex in Vryburg, Northwest.

$-$About R$35$ million for the construction of a psychiatric hospital in Sterkfontein, Krugersdorp, Gauteng.

$-$R$16$ million for the construction of a taxi rank in Mabopane, north of Pretoria.

$-$More than R$60$ million for the construction of $1500$ houses for Mogale City municipality$$ and

$-$R$450$ million worth of construction work in Eastern Cape.

Question:

$1\mathrm{.}1$ Improvement Plan: Develop a detailed plan that addresses these gaps. This should include a revised

scope management plan and a schedule management plan,

showcasing how these improvements could have altered the project's outcome.

$1\mathrm{.}2$ Application of project management tools in the improvement plan:

You are expected to effectively utilize project management tools, such as Gantt charts and network

diagrams, within your improvement plan. These tools should not only illustrate your proposed strategies

but also demonstrate how they could lead to a different, more successful outcome for the project
