PROJECT CHARTER PURPOSE
This project was initiated in order to identify, address, and if needed, correct deficiencies to installation roadways in an effort to enhance the traffic movement aboard the installation.
It has been determined through complaints and on-site assessments from DPW (Department of Public Works), that there has been a considerable degradation of the roads in certain areas of the installation. This has caused the initiation of this project, which will conclude once all roads have been assessed and corrected as needed. This project will ensure that the safety of commuters and pedestrians is brought up to standards set by the Department of Defense, Department of the Army, and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
PROJECT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
[Replace this text with a high-level view of:
· To assess and repair roadways on board the installation. By doing so, the installation will increase its overall safety for personnel who work and visit the installation. This includes utilizing contractor services and coordination with multiple departments stationed aboard the installation. Through these processes there will be a number or meetings which will address key issues and resources needed to complete the tasks. As a result, roadwork will be conducted in a manner deemed fit by the Installation Commander. The assumption is that these requirements are needed t ensure the safety of personnel and that it will increase future readiness for personnel to complete the mission. Risks associated with this project are the of typical construction type operations. Safety concerns will be addressed in the Planning Phase and assessed in an ongoing basis during the project. Costs average an estimated 1 million dollars per mile completed from start to finish. The projected timeline for this project is one year from the initiation of the Planning Phase to the completion of the conclusion Phase. Organizations involved include the Department of the Army, Secretary of the Army, the Base Commander, and DPW.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
This project is being completed in an effort to enhance the overall safety of the base personnel. This project will also make vital updates to the current roadways to make them more comparable to roadways being used and constructed using more technologically methods resulting in more advanced roadways.
