Responses to the RFP from design consultants are reviewed by a selection committee appointed by the Capital Construction Project Manager. Scoring is again developed based on the results of the interviews. The highest-ranking firm is then invited to begin fee negotiations. Project Planning Occasionally projects require an initial preplanning phase as a prelude to the normal planning sequence. These efforts are exploratory and carry titles such as feasibility reports or conceptual studies.
Most projects require the following phases of planning, in sequence.
Facilities Services reviews and approves each planning phase before the next one begins. Prepare perspective drawings or study model of project design. Bidding The schedule for advertising for bid and for the bid opening is established by the Department of Facilities Services. See Figure 2 and Figure 3 in Chapter 4, which details the time involved in this process. Bid Openings are held at Facilities Services.
