Project Management: Using Earned Value Analysis (EVA) to Monitor a Project's Progress (Cases) (Case Study‪)‬

BACKGROUND INFORMATION Environmental Services is a general contracting company based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The company performs general contracting work mainly in the area of construction and facility maintenance. The company executes approximately 10-30 projects at any given time and each project is managed by a project manager (PM). Most federal government contracts are awarded to the company on a fixed cost basis. Also, most Environmental Services' projects are awarded on a "design-bid-build" basis. That is, the company bids on the projects after the design has been completed by the federal government or other governmental agency. Environmental Services is not involved either directly or indirectly in any design aspects of the project.
