Facilities and Planning

MEMORANDUM

TO:          Interim President John Clark
               Vice Presidents, Assistant/Associate Vice Presidents, Deans, Chairs, Directors and/or Unit Heads

FROM:     John Perry, Chair, Facilities Planning Committee

DATE:     13 September 2004

SUBJECT: Building Alteration Projects Requests

By this memorandum, the Facilities Planning Committee and the Office of Facilities and Planning call for your requests for Alteration Projects that are to be funded from the 2005 Alterations Projects Budget (most work would be done during the summer of 2005).  The funds available for these Alteration Projects are extremely limited so, if your department or unit can identify alternate sources [BASC accounts, IFR accounts, departmental funds allocated to these purposes via the campus budget process, or as approved new initiatives, etc., etc.] of funding for such projects, we ask you to consider using those funds when submitting a proposal for an alteration project.

I call your attention to the general distinctions between Maintenance and Repair Activities and Alteration Projects:Maintenance and Repair Activities are minor improvements and/or repairs to a buildings that:
     1. Require work by only one of the “building trades” (e. g., carpenters, electricians, plumbers, HVAC mechanics, etc.) and,
     2. Cost less than $2,500.

Alteration Projects are improvements and/or significant renovations or changes to campus buildings, but they
     1. Cost more than $2,500, and
     2. Require work to be done by more than one of the “building trades.”

The College's crews of carpenters, mechanics and electricians complete Maintenance and Repair Activities as part of their ongoing responsibilities.  Requests for such work normally are initiated by a work order filed by the building coordinator or the zone mechanic responsible for that building.

This call for Alterations Projects proposals is an opportunity for you (and other members of your department) to identify those projects that are typically beyond the scope of the regular maintenance activities done to the building that your unit/department occupies.  These Alteration Projects proposals require review (and prioritization) at the departmental, school and divisional level prior to their review by the Facilities Planning Committee according to the following schedule:

Schedule for 2005 Alteration Projects Proposals

EVENT DATE
“Call for Alteration Projects” letter – this letter – issued by Facilities Planning Committee on 13 September 2004
Completed Alteration Project request forms are submitted to department chairs or unit heads/directors no later than   8 October 2004
Department chairs/unit heads assemble and prioritize requests, and forward them to Deans or AVPs by 28 October 2004
Deans, and/or AVPs rank the projects, and submit them to Vice President and simultaneously to the Office of Facilities and Planning (attn: John Osowski) by  8 November 2004
Vice Presidents rank projects across departments/units within area; the Office of Facilities and Planning provides estimates of projects' costs.  Both are sent to Facilities Planning Committee for preliminary tabulation and review no later than  22 November 2004
The Facilities Planning Committee reviews all projects, and recommends initial project list for further costing/scheduling of work by Office of Facilities and Planning by  6 December 2004
The Office of Facilities and Planning provides detailed cost estimates, execution options, preliminary schedule to initial project list, resubmits to the FPC by  10 January 2005
The Facility Planning Committee reprioritizes and finalizes projects list, submits recommendations for funding of projects to President's Staff on  18 January 2005
President's Staff gives final approval to projects list, funding plan and execution strategy by  7 February 2005
Approved Alteration Projects are completed starting in the   Summer of 2005

 

Alteration Projects that were submitted (but not recommended for funding) last year must be resubmitted for reconsideration and may use the same supporting documents and/or previous cost estimates (if still available).

We anticipate that the total budget that will be available for all 2005 Alteration Projects will be less than $200,000; therefore, the Facilities Planning Committee will not consider proposals for projects whose estimated cost exceeds the $25,000 threshold (such projects should be submitted for consideration as “Capital Construction Projects,” not as Alteration Budget Projects).  Large projects (costing over $25,000) typically do not get funded from this budget.

Every organizational area of the College is represented on the Facilities Plannin g Committee (a list of its members and the constituencies each represent is below).  If you need additional information please consult your area's representative.

If you have any questions or concerns of a technical nature about these project proposals, please contact John Osowski, Office of Facilities and Planning, at x2489, email josowski@brockport.edu.
