SPORT FACILITIES MANAGEMENT EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What are the two primary way to build a sport facility? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅1st: determine how
much money might be available for the project then fit the facility into the budget.
2nd: the planned approach; entails examining what is specifically needed and then developing an ideal
facility within rough cost constraints.
What are the four phases in the construction process? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅1. programming phase:
deciding what to build; examining space, cost, and other criteria; deciding what events will be held at
the facility, including capacity and amenities issues; deciding the number and location of food and
beverage preparation and sales areas; finalizing support areas that will be needed.
2. design phase: designing the facility with architects; preparing schematic drawings and cost estimates;
developing the design and adding details such as HVAC systems; reviewing and verifying the documents;
reviewing operations to ensure that systems will operate as intended; preparing construction, legal, and
bidding documents.
3. construction phase: awarding the contract after checking references and qualifications of all parties;
developing the construction schedule through substantial completion of the facility; completing the
construction process and change orders; going through the inspection process.
4. occupancy phase: finishing, including completing punch lusts; obtaining the occupancy permit; doing
facility maintenance and renovations.
Understand each of the construction process phases. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅construction phase:
awarding the contract after checking references and qualifications of all parties; developing the
construction schedule through substantial completion of the facility; completing the construction
process and change orders; going through the inspection process.
Know what the difference is between requests for qualifications, requests for proposals, and request for
bids. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Request for qualifications: helps determine which companies meet the
minimum requirements for building the facility.
Request for proposals: requests a particular action; can ask a company how it would propose solving a
problem or what price it would charge to build a facility.
Request for bids: an RFQ decides what companies are qualified and those companies will receive an RFB
and are asked to bid on a project.
, What is a Turnkey contract? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅a contract in which a construction company builds
the facility with very little input from the future owner; when the construction is completed, the

What is a Design-build contract? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅similar to turnkey contract with exception that
the owner, rather than the builder, provides the land and may control the schedule and budget.

What are the six areas that costs might occur in a project? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅1. preliminary costs:
acquisition of site; site decontamination; site development; legal fees; cost of bond issues; promotion
and publicity; preliminary architect fees for preparation of preliminary fees; consultant fees (legal, tax,
bonds, polling, political).
2. architectural fees: preparation of architectural and engineering plans; supervision of construction;
engineering requirements.
3. Construction costs: building contract and subcontracts; supervision costs; building permits.
4. FFE (up to 15% of the total budget): building; outdoor play areas.
5. Insurance costs to pay the facility developer if the construction company fails to complete the project.
