Project Status Definitions
To ensure that the campus community is aware of the status of approved projects, a master list and schedule of all project types will be maintained on the department website. The status of each project will be updated periodically within the following definitions:
- Planning: The Planning phase includes development of a detailed project scope of work, an initial cost estimate, a preliminary schedule, and a review of applicable codes.
- Design: – The Design phase includes the preparation of any documents that are required to demonstrate compliance with codes and the intent of the projects and to control the work of contractors in the field.
- Bid and Award: The Bid and Award phase includes the hiring of contractors and the procurement of equipment necessary to complete the work.
- Construction: The Construction phase includes all work to modify or improve the facility including the installation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
- Close-out: The Close-out phase includes the work necessary to ensure that a complete and accurate file has been kept on the project and to allow any jurisdiction responsible for the oversight of the project to close their files.
