Imagine that you are working on a project to purchase 5,000 electrical generators with an electrical capacity of three (3) kilowatts and will be used by the U.S. Army for battlefield communications systems.

Choose to respond to this scenario from a government or a contractor perspective. If you select government, then you will complete the assignment as if you are a government employee (or military personnel) receiving the proposal from the contractor. If you select contractor, then you will complete the assignment as if you are a contractor employee submitting a proposal to the government.

Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you:

Evaluate the requirements for announcing federal contract awards. Determine how these requirements apply to this scenario.
Establish the responsibilities of the Contracting Officers Representative (COR) for this contract.
Evaluate the existing training and certification requirements for CORs in general.
Create a set of specific requirements for the COR working on the contract for 5,000 electrical generators.
Assess the importance of safeguarding proprietary information. Propose two (2) ways that proprietary information can be safeguarded in this scenario.

Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Please include Resources: Compton, P. B. (2010). Federal acquisition: Key issues and guidance. Vienna, VA: Management Concepts, Inc. Feldman, S. W., & Keyes, W. N. (2011). Government contracts in a nutshell (5th ed.). St. Paul, MN: Thomson Reuters.

Examine and critically reflect upon the feedback given on your first assignment and draft a response to the feedback that demonstrates improvement on your work.

For example:

• If a comment made by the marker in coursework 1 is that greater linkage between a number of sources would improve the answer, you can make use of coursework 2 to demonstrate how the sources could be linked more closely.
• If a comment made by the marker in coursework 1 invites the student to conclude a particular argument, you can make use of coursework 2 to conclude that particular answer.
• If the marker of coursework 1 suggests that additional sources could be used to support a certain point, you can use coursework 2 to identify these sources and point to their relevance in answering the question.
• If minor points relating to grammar, syntax and referencing are made by the marker in coursework 1, you could demonstrate the correcting of these errors in coursework 2.
• If an element of coursework 1 is pointed out as being particularly good, you could make use of coursework 2 to ensure they understand why it was particularly good and also highlight how this could have been applied to other areas of their work.

It would be a good idea to look into the US National Security Strategy 2002 and analyse the impact in which it had on the definition of sovereignty; a good section of the essay should evaluate this piece of documentation.

A good structural idea in writing the essay would be roughly to keep to this:
Introduction – 312 words and Thesis – 50 words in the same paragraph

Road Map – 225 words discussing on what will be discussed within the essay

4 Paragraphs – 312 words each supporting the argument of the thesis

Anti thesis – 350 words discussing issues that go against the thesis, acknowledge and address possible criticisms of thesis

Conclusion – 312 words

Also you should be signposting between paragraphs by starting each argument by referring to the previous section.

Address the question or title; follow a structured and signposted sequence; demonstrate familiarity with the relevant literature to the concept of sovereignty; present an analysis and evaluation of the ideas and theories discussed; reveal internal integration and coherence; use references and examples to support the claims and arguments made; provide detailed references and sources in the bibliography or reference section; be written in good and grammatically correct English. Differences within the range are usually attributable to differences in the quality of analysis and evaluation and internal integration and coherence.

Re: Project paper formatting guidelines
I trust you are working on your project paper. Please know that while writing your paper, it is necessary and required that you follow the steps below:

1. Abstract. Here you summarize your total paper briefly in a single paragraph. Objective, method, major findings – NO equation or detailed discussion.

2. Introduction. In this section you discuss what you are doing and why your work is important. In the end, a paragraph with your main findings is a must. This section is typically no longer than two pages.

3. Literature review. Discuss methods, data and results of several published research papers in the area of your work. Also explain how your work is important and different from those work. Around two pages is okay.

4. Data and Methodology. Clearly indicate type of data you are using and the source(s) of data. Detail the methodologies you would use in the paper. If you use multiple methods, all needed to be clearly elaborated with necessary equation and explanation.

5. Results and discussions. This is important that you explain your findings in detail and indicate that they are reasonable and realistic. If you have performed any hypothesis testing explain them. You must show your results in tables or graphs labeling serial number and titles. Large table can be attached in an appendix (Please don’t attach any data set with your paper).

6. Conclusion. This section summarize your forecasting results and you acknowledge constraints you have faced during your research work, e.g., methods, data. Based on that you indicate future research directions. This section should not be more than two paged long.

7. Bibliography. List all papers you have referred in you paper.

, 11 (arial) or 12(new times roman) size, and equation editor for equations.

we already have proposal that u can work on it.
Good luck on you project work.

Your task for Assignment 1 resembles a real world scenario where you have access to some limited information, and based on your expertise you must produce a document that is accurate, technically solid and useful. It is up to you to decide how to do this.
As you think through the details, you may have many questions and ideas on how to progress. There will be a tension between what could be done and what should be done to improve the approach to assessment. You will also have to consider how to present this information in an effective manner. Think about what should be done, why, who should do it, how and when.
Following are some guiding comments for you to consider.
You may also choose to provide more structure to the report through more sections or sub-sections that you deem help to give clarity and effectiveness to the report. However, this decision must have a positive effect on the purpose of the report, and not merely add to the verbosity through tangential and mildly useful material (e.g., a literature review of commendable depth, but limited applicability).

You should write a report of 3,000 words (maximum) which provides a critical analysis of the corporate communications function of a (for-profit) organisation of your choice, drawing on appropriate communications theory. IT SHOULD NOT BE THE SAME ORGANISATION AS YOUR PRESENTATION. Please make sure that all sources are referenced.
The report should consist of four parts:
(a) a one-page executive summary of the findings: this is included in the word count;
(b) a brief overview of the organisation and its communications functions, drawing attention to the major features that you will develop later;
(c) an analysis and evaluation of the communications of your chosen organisation, drawing on communications and/or marketing theory where appropriate;
(d) recommendations on how the organisation could improve its communications in the light of your research.

While it is for you to decide upon the content and structure of the report, you might feel it appropriate to include aspects such as:
-A brief overview of the organisation: its mission statement, goals, strategic objectives, etc.
-a communications audit or SWOT analysis of communications
-consistency of messages – or brand – conveyed across different media and extent to which communications are integrated
-communication and appropriateness of any sponsorship (if appropriate)
-communication of Corporate Social Responsibility programmes (if appropriate)
-barriers to successful communication and use of language; evidence of intercultural sensitivities (if appropriate)
-an evaluation of publications used for internal communications, marketing/PR (advertisements, leaflets, web site, social media, etc.)
-an analysis of crisis communications (plan or case study) if appropriate
-recommendations for improvement (including costings) and/or Communications Plan
Please note that these are only suggestions. A good report does not necessarily need to cover all these aspects. You will not be able to cover all aspects of corporate communications in depth. You need to decide which areas to focus on and explain why you have chosen them to be most relevant to your chosen organisation. You must include both internal and external communications, though you can choose to comment more in depth on one aspect as long as you explain why.

Assessment Task: Project Plan

Examine the case study for Oxford Fire Station
https://www.apm.org.uk/sites/default/files/Old%20Fire%20Station%2C%20Oxford%2C%20Allen%20Construction%20Consultancy.pdf

and the accompanying background information on the building

The aims of the project were to provide :-

• An accredited education, training and employment centre for homeless and vulnerably housed people;
• A social enterprise café providing on the job and accredited training and experience;
• A flexible arts auditorium for continuing professional development across art forms, and for rehearsal, training and performance use;
• A specialist dance studio for rehearsal and training
• A flexible professional gallery to showcase new work;
• A small commercial retail space for artists and makers to exhibit and sell work;
• An affordable creative workspace for emerging professional artists, including those involved in digital technologies

As a consequence of all of the above prepare the following aspects of a PMP:

• Provide a review of the issues discussed at the outset of the project that would impact on the project scope in terms of:

Final use of building
Age & condition of the building
Environmental considerations
Position of the building
• Stakeholder analysis that includes an Interest/Influence matrix identifying those potentially for and against the project. Your analysis should also include an outline communication plan/matrix with brief justification for your choices
• Outline risk register [refer to the template]
• The study refers to an unexpected discovery of asbestos. Using the information supplied regarding the auditorium calculate:
The cost of reducing the time schedule by two weeks
The maximum amount of time that could be saved and the new cost
• Calculate and plot cash flows based on the budget information
• Map out a potential WBS the project management team would have drawn up that includes the elements they would need in place before they could proceed with the contract.
Critically evaluate the overall project management framework, including project management context, project life cycle, stakeholder management and project management processes – along with their interactions.
