Stadium Builders RS are preparing a bid to build a new 75,000 seat baseball stadium in Delaware. The construction must start on June 1, 2021 and be completed in time for the 2024 season. A penalty clause of $90,000 per day of delay beyond April 20, 2024 is written into the contract.

Willie Robertson, the president of the company could net as much as $1.9MM on the project. He also said if they are successful, the prospects for future projects are very good since there is a projected interest in building new ball parks with modern luxury boxes.

1. Will the project be completed by the April 20th deadline?
2. How long will it take?
3. What is the critical path for the project? (Highlight this on your Gantt chart if possible)
4. Based on the schedule, would you recommend that the new owner pursue this construction contract? Why or Why not?
5. Include a one page Gantt chart for the stadium schedule.
