Project Management P

Title - CSUSM’s Dining Hall

Scope overview - The scope is to create a dining hall for students and faculty combined that can withhold 350-400 individuals at once. Provide meals with 30 different items on the menu from appetizers to desserts.

Business case - To make food more accessible and provide healthy meals for both students and faculty rather than going to different restaurants.

Background -

Milestone schedule - July 1, 2022 project starts, get permits for (buffet/food) Food Service License, Building Health Permit.

(Building dining hall). Permit deadline Sept 15, 2022. Sept 22, 2022 start RFO, RFQ, Contract signing. Begin constructing from Oct 1, 2022, finishing on April 14, 2023. Grand opening May 1, 2023

Risks/assumptions/constraints:

· Established food vendor competition

· Current food vendor contracts with institution could potentially cause project delay

· Current student approval of dining hall

· Assumption that current students like to eat on campus

· Assumption that current students would like to have a stronger social CSUSM community.

One of the main constraints for the project is the initial approval from the established vendor so an agreement needs to be reached before further project planning.

Spending approvals/budget estimates:

· Construction (building) cost is estimated to be $2,000,000

· Dining Hall equipment (Tables, Chairs, Plates, etc) $150,000

· Total project funded by CSUSM Sponsors.

Communication plan requirements:

· Appropriate communication with institution

· Approval from institution

· Negotiation with vendors

· Kitchen staff communication plan

Initial communication needs to be established with the CSUSM institution and the current food vendors. Next is the Internal and external kitchen communication to find food suppliers.

· Kitchen staff communication network
