Describe how you will schedule and prioritize concurrent projects, as well as resolve any potential conflicts for time and resources.

Quality Control: Identify or describe quality control and self-inspection procedures that will ensure objectives are being met during operations. The discussion of quality control should include the inspection system used to satisfy the requirements of the contract.

Cost Control: Provide your management plan for controlling costs on this project;
