1. The Statement of Work
You will play the role of a buyer putting together an RFP describing work that you would like a contractor to carry out. The job that will be carried out is to relocate your company’s headquarters from Site A to Site B. In this assignment, you should create a SOW that will lie at the heart of the RFP and that addresses the following facts:
Current facilities (Site A) have 1,000 square meters of office space. The new facilities (Site B), have 1,600 square meters of space. Site B is located four kilometers from Site A.
The current facilities contain 15 desks (with associated chairs) that need to be moved to the new site.
The current facilities contains three sofas, 10 arm chairs, and three coffee tables that need to be moved to the new site.
The current facilities contain small items that will be packed in an estimated 120-160 cardboard boxes.
The current facilities have 15 computers (with monitors) that need to be moved to the new site.
The current facilities have 34 framed pictures that have to be packed and moved to the new site.
2. Estimate of Costs
Create an estimate of what you think it will cost to carry out the work described in the SOW for the office relocation project. In your estimate, you should include estimates of labor time and equipment rental (e.g., renting moving vans).
Write a simple SOW that will be included in the RFP.
