Plunder Scenario 49
You're tasked with awarding a contract for undeserved middle school students in the capital city for an arts immersion tour of NYC. What are some risks, needs, and questions that should be addressed with your end-user?
AP Response:
Risks: Ensuring student safety, vendor reliability, compliance with educational and travel policies, and financial oversight to prevent cost overruns.
Needs: Clear scope defining travel logistics, itinerary structure, supervision requirements, accessibility accommodations, and engagement with reputable arts organizations. Also there may be some students who do not have financial resources in NYC, so you must make sure everything is covered except extra spending/souvineers.
Questions: What specific learning outcomes are expected? Are there funding or scholarship provisions for students? What criteria should be used to evaluate vendor capability and experience in youth travel and arts education?
