Visiting Contractor\/Vendor Instructions (Click to navigate to different page)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

WesternU dedicates importance to providing a supportive environment for our faculty and students by investing in our campus educational and administrative spaces according to our Campus Master Plan<\/a>. Our Capital Planning and Construction division keeps our government construction jurisdiction documents and procedures up-to-date and updates infrastructure Campus standards as necessary.<\/p>\n

Capital Construction Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Major Capital Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n

MajorCap<\/strong> focuses on external contractor assisted projects of significant construction remodel or expansion of spaces and infrastructure which can encompass machinery and equipment installation that are new and not considered existing replacement, and a thorough evaluation of bids is done using CPC, baseline construction industry-specific procurement processes with multiple criteria and extensive legal contract, terms & conditions.<\/p>\n

Budgeting<\/strong> and funding requires competing bids and a CPC Industry procurement and custom-tailored scoring processes to determine best project value, followed by a budget report submitted to office of COO for CFO approvals.<\/p>\n

Fiscal category thresholds are determined by the University. Current Major Capital Construction projects are categorized in excess of $20,000.<\/p>\n

Timeline<\/strong> sample forecast for large scale projects is shown below\u00a0 depicting various stages, depending on size and complexity of a project. Construction Project Manager engagement begins after executive leadership meetings are concluded.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Minor Construction Projects<\/b><\/p>\n

MinorCap<\/strong> for small area renovations are routed though office of COO for budgeting review and internal or external resource assignment evaluations.<\/p>\n

Budgeting<\/strong> and funding requires CPC contractor prequalification\/selection, followed by a budget report submitted to office of COO for CFO approvals.<\/p>\n

Fiscal category range for Minor Capital is currently under $20,000. These projects can be applied for assistance from University Capital Funding though office of COO, or funded directly by the College upon project approval.<\/p>\n

Timeline<\/strong> sample forecast for smaller scale projects is shown below\u00a0 depicting various stages, depending on size and complexity of a project. Construction Project Manager engagement begins after executive leadership meetings are concluded.<\/p>\n

Construction Planning & Management<\/strong> by the Capital Planning & Construction team works exclusively with external contractors and vendors. The Campus Architect works with administration & project stakeholders to initiate internal project programming discovery stages.
