d. The generator will take 12 days to arrive.
e. A road has to be built to the site before the actual construction can begin on the various facilities. The road will take 6 days to construct
f. Once the road has been constructed, clearing can begin concurrently on the sites for the lodge, generator building, chairlift and the rope tow. It is estimated that the clearing task at each site will take 6 days, 3 days, 36 days, and 6 days respectively.
g. The clearing of the main ski slopes can begin after the area for the chair lift has been cleared and will take 84 days.
h. The foundation for the day lodge will take 12 days to complete. Construction of the main framework will take an additional 18 days. After the framework is completed, electrical wiring and plumbing can be installed concurrently. These will take 24 and 30 days respectively. Finally, the finishing construction on the day lodge can begin and will take 36 days.
i. Installation of the chair lift towers will take 67 days and can begin once the site is cleared, lumber delivered, and the foundation completed (6days). When the chair lift site has been cleared, construction of a permanent road to the upper towers can be started and will take 24 days.

k. Once the towers are completed and the motor installed, it will take 3 days to install the cable and an additional 12 days to install the chairs.
l. Installation of the towers for the rope tow can begin once the site is cleared and the foundation is built and poured. It takes 4 days to build the foundation, pour the concrete and let it cure, and 20 days to install the towers for the rope tow.
While the towers are being erected, installation of the electric motor to drive the rope tow can begin and will take 24 days. After the towers and motor are installed, the rope tow can be stung in 1 day.
m. The parking lot can be cleared once the rope tow is finished and will take 18 days.
n. The foundation for the generator house can begin at the same time s the foundation for the lodge and will take 6 days. The main framework for the generator house can begin once the foundation is completed and will take 12 days. After the house is framed, the diesel generator can be installed and will take 18 days. The finishing of the generator house can now begin and will take 12 days.
o. The start of the project has been set as April 1st and is to be completed by October 1st.
- Identify the critical path for this project.
