Introduction to the Facilities Project Manager’s Guide Executive Summary The Facilities Project Manager’s Guide is designed to support the Capital Project Delivery Process Guide by providing the ―how to‖ of Project Management for capital projects at Cornell University. It is written for Project Managers. The Capital Project Delivery Process Guide describes the ―what‖ of Project Management, and was written to provide better clarity of the process for project development for clients and users outside Facilities Services. The Facilities Project Manager’s Guide describes the process for managing large capital projects overseen by Facilities Services; it also provides guidelines common to all capital projects. Small projects may have a very different structure than large projects. Project size and difficulty depend on the desired program, scope of work, and the complexity of the space in which it is to be constructed. Renovation projects are also addressed, to some degree, in this guide.

How to Locate the Guide Go to www.fs.cornell.edu

From the drop down box under Policies and Procedures, select ―Facilities Manager Project Managers Guide.‖

Summary Overview of this Guide The Facilities’ Project Manager’s Guide is organized into four parts. 

Part I describes the role of Facilities Services in capital project execution and the list of stakeholders that participate in the process along with their principle roles.



Part II describes the project requests and approval process at Cornell.



Part III describes project controls. Presented separately to emphasize its importance, the controls section describes the systems the University has designed to control the project budget and schedule, and presents an overview of the contract tools used to define the relationship between Cornell and the consultants and contractors that work for us.



Part IV outlines how projects are managed and presents the phases of a typical project and describes what happens in each phase.

This Guide and Other Documents In addition to this document and the Cornell Project Delivery Guide mentioned above, there are two additional reference tools available to assist project managers when leading projects: 

The Cornell Project Management Methodology Guide (CPMM)



The Project Manager’s Toolbox.

The Cornell Project Management Methodology (CPMM) Guide The CPMM website is located at http://projectmanagement.cornell.edu/ The guide can be found at this web address: http://www.cit.cornell.edu/computer/robohelp/cpmm/cpmm_guidebook.htm The website contains useful tools such as templates, training announcements, and document examples. Although Facilities Project Managers typically have the training and knowledge covered in this guide, these resources are still valuable for Project Managers who want to refresh and refine their knowledge. The Project Manager’s Toolbox The Project Manager’s Toolbox is the archive for past PM trainings delivered by Facilities Services PM Toolbox team. These materials can be found at

Facilities Project Managers Guide

http://www.fs.cornell.edu/fs/PMT/default.cfm Throughout this guide we will reference the various trainings that have been offered and archived as they relate to a particular topic. Facilities Services Website and Other Websites Throughout this guide, there will be references to the Facilities Services web site http://www.fs.cornell.edu. Many topics are explained in detail under the Resources and the Procedures dropdown boxes. For instance, the Project Manager’s Toolbox page found in the Resources list provides a library of resources for capital project planning and processes that was created specifically for project managers across the University. This guide will point the reader to other various web sites, such as Environmental Health and Safety, or the City of Ithaca, that have relevant information on how to perform the tasks outlined in this guide.

Part I: Stakeholders and Roles One of the most important responsibilities of the Project Manager is to identify the key stakeholders for a capital project. The stakeholders listed in this guide include 

Facilities Services



Project Team



Cornell Approval Groups



Consultants and Contractors



Cornell Stakeholders



External Stakeholders

The organizational diagram below shows most of the participants in the execution of Cornell’s capital projects. The Core Project Team carries the project from its inception through completion and works with internal and external stakeholders to ensure that their needs are met across the University and in the community.

Facilities Services: Key Departments Facilities Services is an administrative support division that includes many of the departments typically involved in capital projects. In this section, we will briefly outline some of these key departments and their roles in capital projects: 

Contracts & Capital Projects



Contract Colleges Facilities



Facilities Management



Planning, Design and Construction



Office of the University Architect



Utilities and Energy Management

The Office of the Vice President, Facilities Services serves Cornell through the planning, design, construction, operation and ongoing maintenance of University facilities. All of the departments in Facilities Services may participate as stakeholders in the Project Delivery Process. Two of the departments, Contract Colleges Facilities and Planning, Design and Construction, play a central role in the management of projects for customers outside the Facilities Services Division. Contracts & Capital Projects also plays a central role in executing the contracts and administering the payments associated with the contracts. The role of these three departments, along with others, in the execution of Cornell’s capital projects is summarized below. The Contracts & Capital Projects Office (C&CP) has two primary functions: The formation and management of facilities-related contracts; The financial tracking support for Project Managers who manage capital projects. Contract formation and management services typically include contracts for architectural/engineering design, consulting services, testing services, renovations and construction services for both capital and non-capital projects. Financial support includes invoice processing and project tracking to monitor the financial status of projects in support of Project Managers who are responsible for capital projects. Further, this office provides regular project status report summaries to the Buildings & Properties Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Contracts & Capital Projects Office is funded as an enterprise and charges both on an hourly rate and on a lump sum basis for its services. The Contract Colleges Facilities Office (CCF) manages the Contract Colleges Capital Plan including project development, initiation, and execution. They facilitate the management of State University Construction Fund (SUCF) projects and provide project management for College and University funded capital projects for the Contract Colleges (State campus). The Contract Colleges Facilities Office is funded by an appropriation.

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 13

Project Design and Construction (PDC) provides project management services for general building and renovation projects in its Science and Technology and Architectural sections. Projects that are somewhat trade specific, such as a mechanical upgrade or structural repair, are generally managed in one of the PDC Engineering sections. PDC is funded as an enterprise and bills on an hourly rate for project management services. Project Planning and Estimating (PP&E) is often the first point of contact when considering a renovation or small project. This group provides estimates for work and architectural design services that in most cases are constructed by the PDC Shops. Projects that are constructed by the PDC Shops may be managed within one of the Shops or by one of the aforementioned sections. PDC also includes a Construction Management section that specializes in the management of the construction phase of our medium and large building projects. The Campus Planning Office and the University Architect become involved in any new building project and any other project that impact the physical campus of the University. See the PM Toolbox training: The Campus Planning office in Capital Projects. Maintenance Management provides an ADA Coordination function that serves to assist Project Managers in the ADA accessibility implications of their projects. For every project, Project Managers should conduct a preliminary review to determine what, if any, elements will impact accessibility in the interim (construction) or long term for their project. If their projects have implications for accessibility in either the short or long terms, the ADA Coordinator should be involved. If it is unclear if there are any elements for accessibility, consultation with the ADA Coordinator for determination is recommended.

Project Team Core Team  Executive Group 

Primary Customer



Project Executive / Director



Project Manager



Construction Manager



Project Coordinator

The Core Team for a project includes, at a minimum, the Primary Customer and the Project Manager. The Core Team may also include a Construction Manager, a Project Coordinator, a Project Director and others who are directly involved with the project. The Core Team may report to an Executive Group. Executive Group Larger, more complex projects (e.g., new buildings, laboratory renovations) often have an Executive Group. The Executive Group makes strategic project decisions that don’t require approval by the senior University administrators who represent the Capital Funding and Priorities Committee (CF&PC) or the Buildings and Properties Committee (B&P) of the Board of Trustees, and makes recommendations for decisions that do require such approvals. The group stays informed of project progress and challenges, and provide guidance to the Core Team. The Executive Group is selected by and may be chaired by the Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration. Alternatively the Group may be chaired by the Dean or Vice President of the College or Division sponsoring the project. Other members typically include the following: 

The Department Directors who will use or administer the new space;



Someone from the Office of Planning and Budget , if central University funds are involved;



The Vice President for Facilities Services or the Director of Project Design and Construction;



Others associated with the project.

The Core Project Team acts as staff to support the Executive Group, and may provide the agenda for the meetings. When properly configured and chaired, the Executive Group provides a valuable forum for debating and resolving project issues and establishing strategic project goals and direction. Primary Customer The Primary Customer establishes the desired program (scope) and works with the Project Manager to define schedule and budget for the project. The Primary Customer may be the Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 15

eventual user of the finished project, or may be acting on behalf of the user. The Primary Customer may be an individual or a group of people. If the latter, the Primary Customer group is encouraged to identify a single individual to work with the Project Manager and serve as program manager. Project Executive / Director Construction programs consisting of a series of capital projects or a very complex single project (e.g. residential initiatives, new science buildings), may have a Project Executive/Director (PE/PD). The purpose of this position is to ensure that the sequence of capital projects are coordinated and meet the overall scope, schedule and budget goals of the University. The PE/PD is generally a senior staff member in the Facilities Services Division and serves to guide the project team. Project Manager The principle responsibility of the Project Manager is to deliver the project within the scope, schedule, and budget agreed to by all of the stakeholders of the project. The Project Manager may delegate tasks to other project team members, but still retains the responsibility for project success. One of the key responsibilities of the Project Manager is to communicate and consult with all of the various stakeholders. In one of the sections below in this guide, you will find the numerous project stakeholders who may have a stake in capital projects. The Project Manager is responsible for including those stakeholders relevant to the project, and establishing a balance between the sometimes conflicting goals of project stakeholders and between the various elements of the project (scope, schedule, budget, etc.). Construction Manager Larger projects (>$2M) typically use the services of a Construction Manager (CM) who manages the construction phase of the project and who is the single point of contact for the Contractor. The split of project tasks between the Project Manager and Construction Manager is not fixed; however, the Project Manager retains responsibility for the overall success of the project, budget and design. Project Coordinator Larger projects typically have a Project Coordinator (PC) who assists the Project Manager. PCs also manage projects that range in value from $50,000 to $500,000 having the same responsibilities as a Project Manager. The PC provides both administrative support to the project team, and technical support to the project. PCs play a major role in large and small projects, from inception of the project through to close-out. Project Coordinator Responsibilities The PC Matrix is a sample guide for the roles and responsibilities of each of the three levels of Project Coordinator (PC1, PC2, and PC 3). The roles may be assigned differently for each project and depending on the expereineces of thos involved. They may also change as the project progresses. See: Sample Matrix for Project Coordinator (PC) Responsibilities

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 16

Role Agreement The Project Manager, Construction Manager and Project Coordinator project team should start with "PM-CM-PC Responsibility agreement in which they agree on roles. Below are samples of how the Project Manager (PM) , Project Coordinator (PC), and in the first sample, the Construction Manager (CM) can create a clear understanding of what role each plays in a project. Each project will be unique, so please use this as a guide. See Sample Role Agreement See Sample Project Manager and Construction Manager and Project Coordinator Duties and Responsibilities

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 17

Cornell Approval Groups The PM is responsible for coordinating timely authorizations and approvals of the various phases of the project with the following Approval Groups: 

Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration (EVP) or Provost ;



Capital Funding and Priorities Committee (CF&PC - members include Senior Administration of the University);



Buildings and Properties Committee (B&P - a committee of the Board of Trustees).

The Project Approval Request (PAR) is the principle document for seeking authorizations and approvals. (See Part II of this guide.) A PAR is required for any capital project with a total project budget greater than $50,000. The approvals required for a project are dependent on the total budget.

Consultants and Contractors Cornell’s facility capital projects are 

generally designed by architectural and engineering consultants (A/E);



built by contractors, with the construction managed by construction managers.

The Project Manager is responsible for insuring that 

the A/E and contractors are selected using approved processes .



appropriate contract documents are executed



the work of the A/E and contractor is properly managed.

The Project Manager is generally the University’s point person with the A/E. As mentioned above, the CM serves as point person for the contractor. Note: 

PDC has an in-house design group that provides A/E services for renovation projects up to about $1M.



The PDC Shops occasionally compete for construction of projects up to about $1M.

See the FS website for more on architect/engineer procurement process. Also see the PM Toolbox training, Architect-Engineer Procurement. See the Quality control section below for proper management of contractors. Also see the Contractor Qualifications information.

Alumni Affairs and Development Construction Management Office PDC’s Construction Management Office includes construction managers and project coordinators who manage contractors and construction phase activities. Individuals in the Construction Management Office are frequently members of the project Core Team. The Director of Construction Management is also responsible for leading the contractor selection process for PDC-managed projects. Core Teams work with the Director to select preconstruction contractors, construction managers, general contractor bidders’ lists, and to develop a construction delivery strategy. Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 20

Contracts & Capital Projects Office Most projects that involve hiring companies to provide labor for design, construction and renovation work require execution of a contract, as opposed to a purchase order which is used for procurement of supplies and/or materials. The C&CP Office writes the University’s contracts. The C&CP Office also administers the Capital Project System, an accounting system that tracks PAR authorizations, budget allocations, and commitments/expenditures associated with capital projects. Cornell Information Technologies Cornell Invormation Technologies (CIT) can play one of three roles in a facilities project: 

Construction Standards: CIT authors construction standards and works with designers on the design of IT systems, including telecommunication rooms and raceway systems.



Installation and Maintenance: CIT installs and maintains telecommunication equipment and software across campus and/or manages installation of these systems by contractors.



AV Consulting: CIT provides an audio/visual consulting group that helps project teams and consultants specify, install and commission high tech A/V systems.

See PMT Trainings Communications Wiring, Phone Services and Data Services and Total Technology Integration. Cornell Police Cornell Police participate in projects when the following are being addressed: 

building security system design



electronic access



video surveillance



intrusion alarm



locations for Blue Light telephones



movement of large construction-related vehicles across campus roadways.

Alumni Affairs and Development Please see the Alumni Affairs and Development web site for information on this stakeholder. Environmental Compliance and Sustainability Office The Environmental Compliance and Sustainability Office services to project teams:

(ECOS) provides three distinct



They are available to lead or support the Municipal Site Plan Approval process, including preparation of environmental assessment forms and presentations to municipal approval groups.



They assist in making sure completed projects comply with various State and Federal regulations concerning the protection of air and water resources.



They oversee construction phase preparation and compliance with storm water pollution protection regulations and assist with the LEED certification process. Facilities Project Managers Guide

PMs are encouraged to fill out this checklist to help them determine what needs to be considered with respect to environmental compliance issues for their projects. Environmental Health and Safety Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) provides four distinct services to project teams. 

The Lab Safety group provides advice and review of construction documents for lab projects.



The Fire Protection group provides advice for sprinkler and fire alarm systems.



Document Review for overall code compliance, and assistance with abatement of asbestos and hazardous materials.



EH&S can help with the oversight of construction site safety and review contractor safety plans.

See Your Project and EH&S and EH&S and Construction Services in the PMT Training. Facilities Management Facilities Management (FM) provides maintenance and custodial care for academic buildings and grounds care for the overall campus. They provide advice and review of construction documents regarding maintainability of building and site elements of the project. They also provide advice to project managers regarding the forecasted operating and maintenance costs that must be identified and included in Section 8 of PAR’s. Maintenance Management Project managers are encouraged to take advantage of collaboration with the ADA Coordinator within Maintenance Management for all projects planned. This is available to Project Managers to ensure ADA compliance for every project on Campus. Office of Government and Community Relations Office The Office of Government and Community Relations must be involved in the project for all municipal approvals or when the project is of interest to Cornell’s neighbors. Examples include projects that involve construction on the perimeter of campus, that make a noticeable change in vehicular traffic flow on surrounding streets, or that have other noticeable environmental impact.

Office of the University Counsel Office of the University Counsel represents Cornell’s interests with regard to municipal law and the impact on the community and the University. Projects requiring zoning variances or having complex site plan approval processes should involve the University Counsel. Project Planning and Estimating PDC’s PP&E Office provides project plans, cost estimates, design services and project management for projects intended for execution by the PDC Shops. When not occupied in design work intended for the Shops, PP&E is available to prepare architectural designs for bid. The Manager of PP&E also chairs regular meetings with the City and Town Building Departments. Core Teams are encouraged to use the PP&E venue to initiate discussions with the City and Town Building Departments. See the PM Toolbox training on Permits. Risk Management and Insurance The Risk Management and Insurance Department makes decisions regarding required levels and types of insurance for consultants and contractors, and also analyzes the fiscal health of those companies. See more information on Risk Management in Project Management below. Transportation and Mail Services Transportation and Mail Services works with project teams to identify parking resources both for contractors and to support the finished project. See the Transportation Infrastructure Charge Policy in the Cornell Project Delivery Process, Appendix M. Treasurer’s Office The University Treasurer (Treasury Management Services): 

Arranges debt financing for projects as necessary.



Should be consulted on the source of funding for projects that may have an effect on historic/cultural resources. Projects using State of New York funds or State-issued bonds will trigger review by the NYS Historic Preservation Office.

University Architect The University Architecht (UA): 

Leads the architect selection process. (See also PM Toolbox for more on architect selection.)



Serves as steward for all architectural matters, including working with the University Planner in the site selection process.



Makes presentations at CF&PC and B&P for approval of project concept and design.

Utilities and Energy Management Utilities and Energy Management has two principle functions: 

They work with project teams to identify utility construction methods, including metering systems and connections to the various campus distribution networks. Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 24



They provide advice and review of construction documents for energy saving initiatives. See Energy Management and Utilities Customer Relations - Construction Projects

External Stakeholder Groups The project team is responsible for acquiring approvals of the following groups external to the University. Note that the Cornell central campus occupies one county and three municipalities. 

Tompkins County



City of Ithaca



Town of Ithaca



Village of Cayuga Heights

In some instances the Village of Lansing and the Town of Dryden may be involved. Each has unique procedures for permitting and site plan review. The following is intended to be a very general overview of these processes. Building Inspector and Fire Marshall The Building Inspector generally works with the project team and the Architect/Engineer during design of the project to prepare a strategy for code compliance. The Building Inspector may include the Fire Marshall to gain consensus on things such issues as fire truck access to the project site, design of fire protection systems, and proposals for handling flammable materials. Although Cornell’s contractors generally apply for building permits and arrange for inspections themselves, most jobs require the Project Manager to facilitate discussions and resolution of code issues during construction and project close-out phases. Community/Neighborhood Associations Cornell’s campus is surrounded by many neighborhoods, each of which has an association of homeowners. Cornell’s Office of Government and Community Relations normally arranges for meetings with these groups as appropriate to keep them informed of projects near their neighborhoods. Planning and Development Boards As mentioned above, Cornell’s central campus in Ithaca occupies Tompkins County and three municipalities (City and Town of Ithaca, Village of Cayuga Heights). Each has a unique Environmental Quality Review and Site Plan Review and approval process, and the PM is responsible for ensuring the timely engagement of the various staff and planning board groups. See ECOS’s Environmental and Local Approvals Resource (ELAR) site for information. Also see the PM Toolbox training called ―ELAR Website Review‖.

Part II: Project Requests and Approval Process Cornell University Approval Process Building maintenance, renovation and new construction projects with total costs exceeding $50K are designated as capital projects. The Transaction Authority Policy - Procedure for Processing Facilities Projects establishes cost thresholds and associated approvals. Schedules for Capital Funding and Priorities Committee (CF&PC) and Building and Properties Committee (B&P) meetings are published by the Vice President for Facilities Services office each summer for the upcoming academic year, and include dates for submission of enabling documents. PMs should note that all requests and presentations to the Buildings and Properties Committee (B&P) must first be authorized by the Capital Funding and Priorities Committee (CF&PC)

For new structures, Project Concept approval may also include review of criteria for the placement of the structure upon a site. ** Design approval includes a review of the schematic or design development documents that illustrate the layout, massing and exterior appearance of the facility within the context of its site. Also included is an updated planning budget based upon a refined definition of the project scope and delivery schedule.

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 28

^ Construction approval authorizes construction of the final project scope defined by the construction documents and specifications. The final project budget is reviewed for the recommendation to the Executive Committee for approval.

The Project Approval Request (PAR) The PAR is the principle enabling document for capital projects. The purpose of the PAR is to provide information about the project to the project approvers, including the primary customers, and to confirm their agreement with the information provided. The electronic PAR Approval Process is available online. In general, Project Managers prepare PARs. The Project Manager places his or her name on the front page of the PAR, and is the person responsible for the overall execution of the project. 

PARs are submitted through CCF, FM or PDC, or directly to the VP Facilities Services office, to be entered into the ePAR system to circulate for signature. This also ensures the project is included on the CF&PC/B&P agendas as appropriate.



The approval of a capital project is accomplished by getting full sign-off of the PAR signature page, and approval by CF&PC and B&P, as applicable.



The PAR template lists specific directions for the creation of the PAR, as well as details on who should be included in the signature page.

Project managers are encouraged to become familiar with the schedules for CF&PC and B&P. (For the most recent project approval calendar and the schedules for CF&PC and B&P approvals, see Project Approval Calendars in Information and Resources) 

CF&PC meets monthly



B & P meets seven times a year, in September, October, December, January, March, May and June.

See How to Write a PAR below, and the various types of PARs. Project Managers for State-funded and Contract Colleges projects should consult with the CCF office to obtain the slightly different PAR template and coordinate with their schedule due dates for submittal. Its PAR template is located under Get Things Done on CCF’s home page. Please note the CCF approval calendar that this section provides. Project Plans Project Managers are encouraged to write a Project Plan for projects requiring approval by CF&PC. The Project Plan uses the PAR template and describes the overall project purpose and scope, and an estimated schedule, and budget. Project Plans may be combined with PARs requesting approval to begin design work, or for large projects for approval to begin planning. See a Sample Project Plan.

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 29

How to Write a PAR The PAR is the first approval needed in order for a project to take the next step in the planning phase. See Initiate Project in Part IV. In the Cornell Project Management Methodology Guide (CPMM), which is a general introduction to project management, the PAR is referred to as a PIP. (Project Initiation Plan). Types of PARS In the Plan/Design/Bid/Construct Model used at Cornell, the PM might generate PARs throughout the various phases of the project. There are three general phases of a project: Planning, Design, and Construction. The most often used PARs for each phase include: Concept PAR A Concept PAR is used during the Planning Phase and may include the following:  Fleshing out alternatives  Outlining the major Alternatives Considered and Why Rejected See below Part IV: for more on the Concept Study. Design PAR The description of the scope in a Design PAR may include this type of language:  Create design  Design layout o See Section 3.3 of CPDP Guide, page 36ff. When the PM outlines the scope of work during the Design Phase with the client, she/he should refer to the Owner/Architect Agreement Schedule G. This contract includes what architects and engineers are required to provide during the design phase. The PM may want to split the design phase into three PARs:  Schematic Design PAR  Design Development PAR  Construction Documents and Bid PAR Each of these PARs is a milestone in the design process.

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 30

Construction PAR The scope of a Construction PAR may include these terms:  Demolish…  Construct…  Provide (furnish and install)… See Section 3.5 of CPDP Guide page 39ff. Revised PARS On an infrequent basis it is necessary to revise a PAR. This may be due to a change in the project scope, schedule, or budget. Revised PARs follow the same procedures and pathways as the original PAR. An effective way to write a revised PAR is to use the text of the original and insert changes in bold type. This allows the reviewers to readily see the changes from what they had originally approved. See Sample Revised PAR. Revised PARs are submitted for the following cases: 1) To request an increase in the approved project budget; 2) For revisions to the project’s scope of work; 3) For project schedule changes due to unforeseen issues/conditions that occurred during the current phase (design or construction) of the project.

Municipal Approval Process Local Municipalities The requirements for municipal approval and permitting vary by municipality. Portions of Cornell’s main campus fall into the jurisdiction of the: o City of Ithaca o Town of Ithaca o Village of Cayuga Heights. Projects off of the main campus may also be in the: o Town of Dryden o Town of Lansing o other municipalities

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 31

State-funded and/or State-owned Buildings Projects funded by the State University Construction Fund (SUCF) or performed in a stateowned building are not subject to approval by the local municipality, but instead are reviewed and approved by the Code Enforcement Officer in the Contract Colleges Facilities Office. New York State Building Code and Local Code Ordinances All but very small projects require a building permit issued by the municipality in which the project is located. A prerequisite to obtaining a permit is the demonstration to the building inspector that the project meets applicable requirements of the New York State Building Code and local codes and ordinances. Building Inspector / Fire Department The Project Manager is responsible for arranging communication between the designers of the project and the building inspector. These meetings may also include a representative from the fire department and from Cornell’s Environmental Health and Safety group. PDC’s Project Planning and Estimating group meets regularly with both the City and Town of Ithaca Building Departments. Project managers are encouraged to use these meetings to initiate discussions on new projects. Municipal Site Plan Approval Projects that change the exterior appearance of the campus generally require site plan approval from the municipality in which the project is located. Municipal Site Plan Approval is a multi-step process that includes 

an environmental quality review and



Preliminary and final site plan review and approval.

The project manager is responsible for moving the project through these processes and including stakeholders as appropriate to the project. Municipal Approvals As with Cornell’s internal approvals, the Project Manager must include time for municipal approvals in the overall project schedule. Projects under SUCF or CCF Code Authority are exempt from Municipal site plan review, but courtesy presentations are sometimes given.

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 32

Project Authorization Letter Once a project has been authorized/approved by the appropriate group and all signatures are complete in the ePAR system, the Office of the Vice President for Facilities Services issues a Project Authorization Letter (See the sample in the CPDP, Appendix, Item O). This letter serves as the vehicle for Contracts and Capital Projects to request an account from the Division of Financial Affairs and proceed with the issuance of contracts for the project. Without this documentation, the C&CP office does not have authorization to proceed or incur expenses for the project. No project may start without a written contract. Letter of Authorization Under certain circumstances, a project contract may commence with a Letter of Authorization (LOA) signed by the Vice President for Facilities Services or Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration, depending on the dollar amount requested. A LOA is a contractual document that authorizes a consultant or contractor to proceed with a fixed scope of work and to expend a fixed dollar amount which sum shall then be included in their contract.

Part III: Project Controls Introduction This section describes Project Controls. Project Controls exist to help insure projects are efficiently organized and executed in a manner consistent with sound business practices. Controls exist for the following areas of project management: 

Budget Development



Funding Plan



Schedule Development



Contracts



Invoices and Payment Applications



Financial Reviews and Reporting

Budget Development Budget Planning Phases: Overview Planning Phase The Project Manager, working with the Core Team, develops an initial model for the overall project budget during the Planning Phase, using benchmark data and the Project Budget Template. See CPDP Guide Item L. (Disclaimer: Please note that at this time, the budget model provided here does not match up with the Project Manager’s report produced for the project.). Design Phase The Project Manager develops and refines the budget model as the project proceeds through the Design Phase. Bid Phase Construction Phase Cost Tracking During the Construction Phase, or project execution phase, the Project Manager updates the budget model at least monthly, including approved amounts, paid amounts to date, and forecast amounts, for each line of the budget model.

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 34

Budget Template Budget development, tracking and control are primary responsibilities of the Project Manager. The main subcategories of project costs from the Project Budget Template are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Construction Planning & Design Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FFE) Project Support Transportation Assessment (if applicable. See Appendix, Item M, in CPDP Guide) Project Management Project Contingency

The definitions of the above budget lines are provided in the Appendix of the CPDP Guide, Item L. (Disclaimer: Please note that at this time, the budget model provided here does not match up with the Project Manager’s report produced for the project.) Planning Phase Budget Development The development of a Planning Budget can start with either: 

the selection of a desired budget number, from which a corresponding range for project/program scope can be derived, or



a program scope, from which a budget range can be derived. In either case a key deliverable for the Project Team is to establish a range of typical unit ($/sf) construction costs and a ratio of construction costs to total project cost.

Estimations of unit construction cost are based on a preliminary understanding of the program and site, and selection of appropriate benchmark projects for comparative purposes. The Project Team will select representative projects at Cornell and, if possible, at other institutions, to establish a range of unit $/SF construction costs. The Project Manager will also work with the core team to identify any unusual project ―soft‖ costs. For purposes of the initial Planning Budget, the ratio of construction cost to total project cost at the beginning of a project is generally in the range of 2/3 to 3/4, and depends on the anticipated level of the soft costs. Soft costs are all costs not incorporated in the finished building; they are the expenses other than bricks and mortar incurred in developing a building project. Lines 2.0 (Planning and Design), 4.0 (Project Support), 5.0 (Transportation Assessment) are budget line items for soft costs. 1.0 (Construction) and 3.0 (FF&E) may also show soft costs for suchs things as quality assurance services. The following table lists the soft cost budget lines and a range of typical percentages of project cost.

Building efficiency is another important factor in establishing the relationship between program size and construction cost. The ratio of net program area to building gross area is normally in the range of 55% to 65%. Remember that the cost per square foot is proportional to efficiency; the higher the efficiency, the greater the cost per gross square foot.

Design Phase Budget Development Feasibility Study Phase Budget Development A feasibility study can be quickly done for some projects, but significant projects usually require a feasibility / concept study. Using the preliminary program requirements for the project, an ―order of magnitude‖ planning budget will be developed by the Core Team. See sample feasibility study. During this phase of the project a range of project costs, e.g., design fees, management fees, construction estimate, should be used. This range of costs will be further refined as the design progresses. Realistic contingencies to account for unforeseen circumstances during the development of the project should be established. These tend to be substantial at this stage of project development. The product of a feasibility phase is the Schematic Design PAR and the budget for this phase, discussed next. Schematic Design (SD) Phase Budget Development An important objective at the end of the feasibility study is to develop a Schematic Design phase project budget for the project scope that fully meets the program requirements. The project budget should only require slight adjustments after the end of this phase if the scope of the project does not change. The Core Team should follow these steps to develop the SD budget: Step 1: Parallel estimate In addition to the SD cost estimate provided by the design consultant as part of their contract, an independent cost estimating professional should be used to furnish a second, parallel cost estimate of the proposed work. The estimates should utilize similar formats so that they can be easily compared. Step 2: Reconciliation of estimates To the extent possible, both estimators must reconcile the two cost estimates to ensure that they both include the same scope of work. The result of this reconciliation is the determination of a budget for the project. Step 3: Allowance Items Identify, and budget for, those items that will be carried in the budget as ―allowance‖ items. Such things as furniture, special user equipment, audio-video equipment, special furnishings, etc., may fall into this category. This allowance will represent the not-toexceed amount for these items. Step 4: Value Analysis /Value Engineering (VA/VE) Earned Value Management (EVM) is a project management technique that measures project progress objectively. EVM has the unique ability to combine measurements of technical performance (i.e., accomplishment of planned work), schedule performance Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 37

(i.e., behind/ahead of schedule), and cost performance (i.e., under/over budget) within a single integrated methodology. EVM provides an early warning of performance problems while there is time for corrective action. In addition, EVM improves the definition of project scope, prevents scope creep, communicates objective progress to stakeholders, and keeps the project team focused on achieving progress. This process is a rigorous one, in which the project manager attempts to deliver project scope at a lower cost. The Project Manager’s responsibility is to consider life cycle costs. In this process, called ―value analysis / value engineering‖ (VA/VE), the core team, impacted stakeholders, and appropriate experts need be invited to review and accept decisions. VA/VE is one of the first steps in the Earned Value Management process, which is designed to test and validate cost estimates. The team will identify a long list of items to consider, if estimates exceed the target budget established during the Feasibility Planning Phase. It is strongly recommended that the Project Manager manage the project at or below the maximum range of costs for the design at this phase, before moving on to Design Development. It will become increasingly more difficult (and costly) to identify significant cost savings as the design moves toward completion. See PM Toolbox training Life Cycle Costing in Value Engineering See Sample SD VE Sample SD Cost Strategy. At the end of Schematic Design, the project budget and program should be aligned and the final budget should be approved.  If the budget and the scope do not yet align, the team will return to the SD process to make the adjustments necessary to get the project scope and budget in alignment before proceeding to the Design Development phase of work.

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 38

Design Development (DD) Phase Budget Development Step 1: Perform a cost/value analysis The selected service provider of pre-construction services may perform this analysis which allows the contractors to review the design and propose alternatives that could result in additional cost savings. Design options must be decided on so that the design may progress including the lowest cost systems/assemblies that meet the stated design criteria. This step is a follow up to the cost/value analysis that was conducted at the end of Schematic Design. Step 2: VA/VE Items Determine a comprehensive list of VA/VE items to be considered through the subsequent design and bid phase. Even if the budget estimate shows the project aligns, this will not be certain until after bids have been secured and analyzed. See sample DD VE. Step 3: Life Cycle Costs Cornell’s project teams are required to design for minimum life cycle costs. Core Teams will consult with Cornell stakeholders (for instance, Maintenance Management, Utilities, and other Facilities Services groups) to solicit their participation in design decisions regarding life-cycle costs, durability and maintainability. See the PM Toolbox training Life Cycle Costing in Value Engineering. Step 4: DD Estimate Perform a DD estimate at the end of the Design Development Phase along with an optional parallel estimate from an independent, professional cost-estimating firm as deemed necessary by the Project Manager. This estimate should have a consistent format with schedule of values in the budget template so that useful forecasting statistics can be maintained. Step 5: Project Budget Validation Validate the Project Budget with the DD estimate. At this phase of design, the range of costs must be narrowed to a fairly certain Project Budget target that will carry through the Construction Document/Bid Phase. Construction Documents Phase Budget Development The design must not change during this phase. Alternates to the base bid design must be finalized and agreed to by the Core Team. Alternates are often developed during the Construction Documents (CD) phase to estimate the costs of specific scope elements or to identify scope that can be deleted from the project in the event that the bids exceed the budget. Separating items provides a clear means for cost benefit analysis of options that would enlarge or shrink the building program, according to the available project budget. Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 39

A final CD cost estimate is prepared at the end of this design phase. A contractor selected to perform pre-construction services will review the construction documents to validate the final cost estimate and to help avoid potential bid cost over runs. Perform final budget reconciliation just prior to bid. Ensure that the selected alternates will allow a construction contract to be issued. Bid Project Phase Budget Development  The Contracts & Capital Projects Office (C&CP) is responsible to uphold the integrity of the bid process for all construction projects at the University. 

For all projects, the Architect /Engineer provide the Technical Requirements (specifications and drawings).



The Core Project Team edits Cornell’s General Requirements to represent the specific circumstances of the project, and provides both the Technical and General Requirements to the Contracts & Capital Projects Office.



C&CP prepares Instructions to Bidders, Bid Forms and Cornell’s General Conditions with assistance from the PM as requested.



C&CP issues the resulting bid documents and administers all flow of paper and information associated with the bid, including conducting the bid opening. o See in the CPDP, Appendix G, Bid Document Package, and Appendix H, General Conditions and General Requirements. o See C&CP web page Pricing your Construction Project . Lump Sum Projects On lump sum projects, the bids from the invited general contractors are received by C&CP and analyzed with the Core Team. Public or Private Bid Openings Bid openings are typically public. However, private openings may be held at the discretion of the Contracts & Capital Projects Office. (State-funded Project must conduct a public bid opening). If a qualified bid is within the Project Budget, a contractor may be selected for the work. GMC Projects Negotiations When the form of contract is Guaranteed Maximum Cost (GMC) the Core Team and the Contracts & Capital Projects Office will negotiate General Conditions, General Requirements (which can be found in the CPDP, Appendix H), contractor fee, and other contractual terms with the selected general contractor. See PM Toolbox Training Negotiations for Project Managers and Fixed Price Audit Program. All work will be competitively bid by the selected general contractor, and the result will be a negotiated guaranteed maximum cost for the work, that is within the project budget. Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 40

GMC may be used when there is a challenging project schedule or a highly technical or complex project. The GMC delivery method allows the owner, contractor and design team to work together to save time during construction. o See the GMC Cost of Work spreadsheet for estimating. o See Appendix for examples of GMC documents and spreadsheets:  GMC Systems  GMC Cost of Work (Current Bidding Climate)

 GMC GC’s Bids Exceed Construction Budget If all bids exceed the construction budget, conduct a scope review and/or value engineering (cost saving) session to determine if the project can be completed within the approved construction budget. This is sometimes referred to as ―de-scoping the bidder‖. De-scoping the bidder is the process the Project Manager uses to reassure herself that the contractor has provided a responsible bid and has priced the project for the scope of work the contractor was asked to bid on. The Project Manager might sit down with the contractor and review the responsibilities of the contractor in order to confirm explicitly what the contractor is responsible for in the bid scope. Awarding the Project to a Bidder On a Lump Sum project, award is made on the basis of low base bid or project specific criteria. Once this selection has been made, alternate pricing is then taken into consideration. State-funded projects are awarded on the basis of base bid plus alternates in sequential order. A contract is then awarded by the Contracts & Capital Projects Office. Prior to award, the Core Team considers and makes decisions as to incorporation of all acceptable VA/VE suggestions made by the selected contractor.  See the PM Toolbox Training Bidding a Project.  See sample budgets. Construction Phase PAR The Construction Phase PAR is finalized with the construction budget fixed, including contingency. Funds are authorized.

Construction Phase Cost Tracking Construction phase Project Contingency is generally set at 10% of the value of the construction contract. During the Construction Phase, the Project Manager and Construction Manager are responsible for 

administering the intent of the construction agreement



monitoring progress



ensuring conformance to plans and specifications



quality control



payment application approvals



pending items



controlling the budget Pre-construction The Project Manager should implement effective processes of communication between the Core Team, design consultant and contractor. See PM Toolbox Training: o Projects Communications Plan o Managing Expectations o Project Communications o Project Communications Checklist (use this as a model) o The Project Manager is responsible for conducting a pre-construction meeting per the terms of the Agreement. Prior to a contractor mobilizing on site, a contract must be fully executed and all contractual requirements for insurance, bonding, etc., as specified in the Contract must be in place. Project-specific methods for addressing such things as Change Orders, answering questions related to the work and control of payments are discussed. See Risk Management below. Minimize or eliminate the occurrence of ―scope creep‖. Contingency funds are not to be used for discretionary design changes or scope items not specifically defined in the PAR. The Project Manager and Construction Manager develop an expedited means to review/approve submittals, and monitor it carefully. Coordination of trades and site logistics must be expedited, as well, by the Construction Manager.

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 42

Construction Keep Schedule The Construction Manager keeps to current published schedule. The Project Manager and Construction Manager avoid discretionary changes to the design at this phase. Changes made now carry a severe cost penalty. Validate, Track and Monitor Change Orders o The Project manager and Construction Manager validate all Change Orders in a timely manner including the processing of contractual change orders. Document the cause of all Change Orders ( e.g., field conditions, design errors and omissions, owner initiated program change). o Keep an accurate, current Change Order log and insure Change Order costs are added to/deducted from the Master Project Budget Model. o See C&CP website for information on change orders. o See Sample Change Order letter. Review for ADA Access Compliance Project Managers should -keep an accurate review of partners consulted on access review, as well as have conversations with architects and Cornell University staff on access elements. Timely Responses to Contractor Make sure there is always a timely response to all requests by the Contractor. Adopt an effective system to manage and document this flow of information. Timely Payments Make timely payments. See invoice payment. Quality Assurance/Quality Control Implement a Quality Assurance/Quality Control system during the Construction Phase. See PM Toolbox training Quality Control, Inspections and Commissioning. Also, see next section. Monitor Contractor’s Compliance Continue to monitor Contractor’s compliance with contractual submissions. Many different Cornell stakeholders can play a role in monitoring compliance. The Cornell shops, structural engineers, designers, project team, EH&S, clients, the commissioning agent, Maintenance Management, are examples of groups who can provide input into compliance of the contractor.

 LEED Rating System at Cornell  Quality Control, Inspections & Commissioning  Testing & Inspection Services  Your Project and Environment Health and Safety Close-out/Move-in During this phase of the project, the Project Manager should promptly initiate the financial close-out of all Project commitments. This will avoid accumulation of unnecessary administrative costs to the Project. Resolve any claims The Project Manager should resolve any claims. See Risk Management. Morever, this is a good time to advise other Project Teams of any lessons learned and/or innovations that could be used in the future. Project Contingencies Capital building project budgets carry three types of contingencies: 

Escalation



Design



Construction Escalation Contingency Escalation Contingency adjusts the project budget model for changes in the cost of construction, caused by increases in labor costs and volatility/increases in material costs, and inflation of the other budget lines over time. Escalation Contingency must be considered for projects lasting over a year. The following guidelines apply to the use of cost escalation in project budgets. o Project budget models should list a separate line for escalation for each of the six major budget categories. Construction cost estimates from our pre-construction estimators should break escalation out separately and the same factor used to escalate the construction estimate to the bid date should be used in the Construction section of the project budget. o Escalation factors will probably be different for each of the project budget sections. For example:  The Planning and Design section might not escalate once the A/E fee has been negotiated.  Project Management costs will escalate with increases in the enterprise billing rates.  Construction costs will escalate per the anticipated conditions in the local construction market. Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 44

Projects with fixed, non-escalating budgets o Projects with fixed, non-escalating budgets are more sensitive to volatile construction escalation than projects that are allowed to escalate. o Fixed budget projects require the project team to estimate future escalation figures at the start of the project, and then adjust the scope if the escalation estimates are wrong. o Scope adjustment can be very difficult, especially late in the design phase of the project. Consequently fixed budget projects require a more conservative approach to picking escalation figures, i.e., they have a larger escalation contingency. o The intent of fixed project budgets is to emphasize preservation of project budget over scope. o The preferred method for building the project budget is to structure the budget model at each project milestone cost estimate (i.e., Concept, SD, DD 50%DD), assuming immediate construction start. Then an escalation contingency factor is applied to each of the main budget subcategories to arrive at the total project cost. Finally the scope is adjusted as required to match the estimated total project cost to the budget. Escalation contingency applied to the construction line should come from the construction cost estimators working on the project, in concert with the Project Team. o Finally the scope must be adjusted as required to match the estimated total project cost to the budget. Escalation contingency applied to the construction line should come from the construction cost estimators working on the project, in concert with the Project Team. o Projects with fixed, nonescalating bugets should include bid alternates that may be taken in the event that escalation assumptions are inadequate. Development of a strategy for use of alternates is particularly important if the project budget is nonescalating. Projects with budgets that are allowed to increase with escalation o Projects with budgets that are allowed to increase with escalation are easier to match scope with cost than projects with fixed budgets, because there is less risk from faulty escalation assumptions. o The concept is that, if you can afford the project now, you will be able to afford it in the future because you are protected from escalation, except in circumstances where the escalation is so extreme, the project becomes unaffordable. o For projects with budgets that are allowed to escalate, the starting budget is allowed to escalate from the project approval date (the date the project base budget is set) to the start of construction. o The intent of escalating project budgets is to emphasize preservation of project scope over budget.

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 45

o Escalating project budget models can be structured in the same manner as nonescalating projects except the escalation contingencies are treated as additions to the project budget. o The purpose of the escalation contingency is to provide an estimate of the eventual total project cost. Design Contingency Design Contingency is used in the design phase of a project in acknowledgement that, until the design is completed, the construction cost estimate is based on incomplete information. The following guidelines apply to use of Design Contingency in project budgets. Design Contingency for Design Phase of Budget Design phase Project Contingency is used during the design phase of the project to pay for things such as o increases in A/E fees due to program changes, o complications in the site plan review process, or o delays in the project during which the project team continues to work and bill its time. The Design Contingency belongs in the construction section of the budget. Funds are moved from the Design Contingency line into the construction line to pay for scope that is identified as the design progresses. There is no need for a Design Contingency when using unit square foot costs to benchmark the cost of a proposed project during the Planning phase. The proposed project is being compared to an existing facility that is complete. The Design Contingency should be set at 10% to 15% of the construction cost-of-work amount in cost estimates during the planning or feasibility stage of a project. Projects typically carry o 10% at the end of Schematic Design, o 5% at the end of Design Development, and o 2.5% at the 50% construction document estimate. o Design Contingency is 0% when the design is complete and ready for bid. Construction Contingency Construction phase Project Contingency is generally set at 10% of the value of the construction contract. Project contingency is used during the construction phase for some of the above reasons, as well as for the following possibilities: o unforeseen expenses in areas such as underperforming value engineering initiatives, o quality assurance inspections o

added commissioning costs. See sample budgets.

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 46

o allowances or alternates to the construction contract o Factory Mutual (insurance) or Building Inspector requirements identified during construction. Use of the contingency for these items is generally determined by the Project Manager with input from the Construction Manager. Project Contingency is also used during the construction phase to pay for three general categories of cost increases related to the construction contract: o Errors and Omissions o Unforeseen Conditions o Scope / Project Changed Errors and Omissions Errors and Omissions (E&O) in the design documents are defined this way: o Errors occur when the designer makes mistakes in the contract documents; e.g. specifying a 32‖ wide door when a 36‖ door is required. o Omissions occur when the designer neglects to put something in the contract documents that should have been there; e.g. forgetting to put a door where one is needed. Unforeseen Conditions Unforeseen conditions occur when the architect or contractor had no way of anticipating a job site condition that affects the project. For example, in a renovation project the contractor may discover a structural problem in the building when a wall is opened up. Another example is the contractor doing an excavation and encountering a utility line that was not on the construction documents and not on the Owner’s utility maps. In each case, no one is responsible for not having addressed the condition in the construction documents and Cornell must pay to fix the problem. Responsibility: E & O and Unforeseen Conditions  The Project Manager is responsible for determining use of contingency in the E&O and Unforeseen Conditions categories.  Project teams frequently encounter circumstances at the conclusion of a project, when the building is newly occupied and problems arise as a result of the dissatisfaction of certain occupants or stakeholders. For example, the occupant of an office might want an extra data outlet, or a piece of mechanical equipment may prove to be unreliable, even though it was purchased and installed according to the contract documents. The Project Manager is responsible for post-construction contingency use when it falls into the E&O and Unforeseen Conditions categories. Scope/Program Change

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 47

Scope or program changes occur when Cornell makes a change to the scope of the project after the work has been bid and awarded. It is important to note that discretionary changes to the project after construction has begun are strongly discouraged. Although Project Contingency is not intended for scope/program changes during the construction phase, these changes are sometimes unavoidable. Typically there is an executive committee comprised of the Project Manager and the PDC Director; there may also be a a central admininistrative representative and the program representatives. This group discusses options and makes a recommendation on the use of contingency. At the next level--VP Facilities— s/he will probably insist on bringing forward a PAR to approve the use. For example, on the Life Sciences Technology Building project, the PAR's have noted the use of contingency and asked for backup in that amount if the project goes over budget. Responsibility: Scope / Program Change  Requests to spend construction contingency on Scope/Program change require the authorization of the  VP for Facilities Services,  the person representing the source of the funding, and, depending on the size of the change,  CF&PC.  When large projects are involved, the Executive Committee should make timely decisions on the use of contingency for scope changes.

Capital Project Funding Plan Each capital project is required to have a funding plan, identifying 

the source(s) of funding for project costs,



the need for debt financing and



the source of repayment of debt service (principal and interest).

This funding/financing plan is the responsibility of the business manager or similar position within the unit that is providing the project funding. Funding sources, including identification of account numbers, must have sufficient funds available to cover the project cost or an explanation of where funding will ultimately come from. If debt financing is needed to cover project cost, either on a short-term, bridge basis or long-term, permanent basis, the unit business manager is to work with the University’s Director of Debt on the loan terms and loan application process. Project funding to come from gifts must have backup listing the gifts raised for the project, payments received, and a schedule of anticipated payments on outstanding gift pledges.

Schedule Development Schedule development and update is another principal responsibility of the Project Manager. The contractor provides the schedule to the Project Manager. A properly designed schedule includes 

each phase of design work with time for design review



cost estimating milestones



associated redesign periods if needed,



bid or buy-out period,



construction period, and



internal and municipal approvals.

The duration of a typical project that experiences no unusual delays, from start of initial programming through move-in of users, ranges from 6-8 months for a smaller project designed and built by PDC, to five or six years for a large laboratory building. See PM Toolbox training Construction Scheduling

Contractual Agreements After a consultant or contractor has been selected for a project, and prior to start of design or construction work, the terms and conditions surrounding the execution of the work must be documented in a Contractual Agreement. Cornell’s Office of Contracts & Capital Projects (C&CP) maintains Cornell’s contractual instruments and develops all Contractual Agreements between the University and its consultants and contractors. The Project Manager is responsible for working with Contracts & Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 50

Capital Projects on modification of the contract instrument to meet the specific requirements of the project. Design Agreements Project Manager Issues Request for Proposal (RFP) The Project Manger issues the RFP. In order for a contract to be executed with a consultant, the consultant needs to have responded to a Request for Proposal which includes o a description of the services requested, o the deliverables and schedule requirements, and o a copy of Cornell’s A/E agreement (see page 8) which allows the consultant to respond to the RFP with an understanding of the terms of the proposed contract. o The University Architect is also involved in the selection of an architect for the project. Project Manager Presents Proposals to C&CP The Project Manager should review thoroughly (but not sign) proposals from consultants to ensure that all required work has been addressed and that no fees are included for services that are not requested (alternate pricing options may be identified) and present the resulting proposal to Contracts & Capital Projects for consideration in the preparation of a contract. C&CP Reviews Proposal Contracts & Capital Projects will review the proposal to make sure that it is consistent with the stipulations within the proposed contract.

Invoices and Payment Applications The Project Manager is responsible for insuring the accuracy and appropriateness of payments made by the University to consultants and contractors in payment for execution of the various work tasks of the project. C&CP oversees the payment of invoices for projects. Setting up an Account Before invoices can be paid, the PM must generate a PAR and have an Approval Letter, which C&CP uses to set up the project account with the Division of Financial Affairs (DFA). Each month C&CP receives an accounting statement from DFA. Receipt of Invoice in C&CP Invoices are received by the Contracts & Capital Projects Office. Invoices received by the Project Manager or Construction Manager should be routed to C&CP. C&CP Review of Invoice Upon receipt of an application for payment C&CP performs the following steps before forwarding it to the Project Manager for approval: 

Identify the payment source



Review the payment history



Check invoice against contract terms and conditions



Resolve any discrepancies with the applicant’s accountant

Construction Manager Reviews The Construction Manager reviews the construction invoices. The Construction Manager negotiates changes, and can determine if the contractor is offering a responsible proposal. The Construction Manager also ensures that the services for which Cornell is being billed have been delivered. If the project has a Project Coordinator, and if general conditions are included in the contract, the Construction Manager may create a ―pencil copy‖. Project Coordinator Review Project Managers typically route payment applications to a Project Coordinator who reviews them for completeness of supporting documentation and accuracy. 

For contracts that allow billing of reimbursable expenses, the supporting documentation must include receipts for all expenses.



For contracts that allow billing of actual general conditions costs (Cornell’s GMC contract), the PM must check to be sure only allowable expenses are billed.

Approval by PM and Return to C&CP The Construction Manager or Project Coordinator returns the invoice to the Project Manager, who approves payment. The PM sends the invoice to others for approval, including the PM’s Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 54

supervisor and, in the case of PDC PMs, to the PDC Director, the appropriate finance person, and the VP for Facilities Services. The PM then sends the payment applications to the Contracts & Capital Projects Office where all contractual payments are processed. CC&P Requests Payment by DFA Pay requests are sent to the DFA, where checks are issued. Project Over Budget CC&P will not sign off on a commitment if it causes the project to go over budget. The Project Manager must submit a new PAR or re-allocate funds (for example, use contingency.) Project Manager’s Report The Project Manager’s Report contains 

Approved Budget



Current Commitments in the contract



Amount of the budget expended to date.

See an example of a Project Manager’s Report in the CPDP Guide, Appendix , Item N. CC&P sends this report to Project Managers monthly. The Project Manager can access job cost invoices by going to the Facilities Services website, and click on ―Facilities Information‖ and then on ―FS Administrative Services /Job Cost.‖ See also Project Controls and Payments.

Financial Reviews and Reporting Projects over $5 Million For projects with a budget greater than $5 million, the Project Manager submits a Project Status Report (PSR) to the VP Facilities Services and Primary Customer on a monthly basis. The PSR includes: 

a financial status report using the seven budget categories,



a brief summary of project activity, with focus on elements of the project that are significant milestones or challenges.

Projects under $5 Million For projects with a budget less than $5 million, the PM prepares a monthly PSR if requested by the Primary Customer. See Appendix, Item P in the CPDP Guide for an example of a PSR.

Part IV: Project Process Phases Project Delivery Flow Chart The Project Delivery Flowchart summarizes the approval process for endowed Cornell capital construction projects on the Ithaca campus. This chart represents the most common method of project delivery used by Cornell University – Design/Bid/Build. Contract College Facilities has a similar flow chart which can be obtained from their office. The chart has two basic purposes. (1) to consolidate a very complex process into a simple, one page format that can be easily understood by any Project Team member or other interested person that may want to gain a basic understanding of the overall Project Delivery Process. (2) to provide a concise visual tool for the Project Management Team to manage milestone activities as well as to provide a list of common tasks that must be accomplished each step of the way. The chart shows the general phases of each project – Planning, Design and Construction. Individual steps within each general phase further define the order normally followed by projects. The ―Steps‖ section of the chart indicates the various stages in the sequence of project delivery. The section of the chart above the steps, describes the various approvals for either funding or design required for the project by senior university administration, Board of Trustee committees or the Board of Trustees. Level of approval required is based on the total project budget. The section of the charts below the steps describes project milestones for the Project Team, including the client group. See the Project Deliver Flow Chart in the CPDP, page 34.

Planning Phase Goal The Project Manager’s goals during the planning phase are to initiate the project properly, review and understand the client’s needs, address options thoroughly, and select the option that is most feasible. Deliverables  Project Space Program  Site Selection (new construction only)  Consultant Selection  Project Formulation  Approvals Client Responsibilities  Define need and project goals  Develop Project Plan (sometimes with the PM)  Identify funding sources  Initiate project PM Responsibilities  Initiate Project with client  Review and/or help develop Project Plan.  Create project team.  Initiate Project Space Program.  Ensure Site Selection is completed(new construction only) or define existing boundaries (renovation)  Select Consultant  Decide need for either Concept Study and/or Feasibility Study  Project Formulation  Ensure Primary Customer Approval  Develop Schematic Design PAR and/or Design Development PAR to begin next phase of the Project Management Process

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 57

Steps Initiate Project The client may initiate a project with either of the following: o Ticket through Facilities Services Customer Services o Request for Services o Request for Capital Project o Request for Renovation work All of the above methods for entering into a project are a device to engage resources for information and advice about infrastructure and existing space Review Project Plan Client and Project Manager review Project Plan. See a Sample Project Plan. Create Project Team o Identify all stakeholders that will contribute to program development. o Identify the Project Team. o Run team meetings. See PM Toolbox for tips on how to run effective meetings:  Job Meeting Problems  PM Meeting Techniques  Running Job Meetings Create Project Space Program o Define programming needs with the Core Team. o Create Space Program. New building and building addition projects always start with a Space Program. Initially, it begins as a simple list of space types (e.g. faculty office, class room) and floor area. The Program is developed over time to include a complete description of each space. The description includes area, finishes, adjacencies to other spaces, environmental and infrastructure requirements, and furnishings to be provided by the contractor. o Resources for developing a space program may include:  Search Facilities Services’ Web Sites  Find Information About Your Facility  Document Archive  Project Manager’s Environmental Checklist o For a restoration project, define the project boundaries.

Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 58

Site Selection (new construction only) o The Project Manager should contact the University Planning Office and the University Architect as soon as he or she is aware of a project of significant size. o Project Team, University Planner and University Architect develop context study in which the question ―how does this project fit with the rest of the neighborhood and surrounding area?‖ is addressed. o Site selection options are explored and narrowed to the preferred site. Criteria for selecting the site must be developed with the University Planning Office and University Architect. o It takes a few months to complete the Site Development Guidelines (formely called ―Site Criteria‖). The University Planning Office will review the Site Development Guidelines (formely called ―Site Criteria‖) with the project team, stakeholders, and the Campus Planning Committee. o Once a preferred site has been identified, the University Planning Office and the Project Team will develop the Site Development Guidelines (formely called ―Site Criteria‖). (See CPDP, Appendix C). o For both site selection and criteria the UP presents to CF&PC and B&P for approval. Consultant Selection o The established University Consultant Selection process will be followed. This effort is led by the chair of the selection team. Decide need for either Concept Study and/or Feasibility Study The Project Plan usually leads to a Feasibility Study (see sample Feasibility Study) or a Concept Study. o Both studies are conducted by a consultant to determine if the project is possible within a pre-defined budget or other program expectation. o A Concept Study looks in more detail at options for the deliverables listed below and produces a plan that can be reviewed by the customer and University. A Feasibility Study generates a possible solution to that space need with associated dollar amount. It generally has a program study. The feasibility study asks: ― I know I need the space, how do I get the space?‖ o Upon the completion of this phase and after the required approvals are obtained, the preferred option will then proceed into design.

It could be costly to correct errors after design documents have been published. o Pay contractors promptly. o Assure quality of work. o Review for ADA Access Compliance  Keep an accurate review of partners consulted on access review.  Conversations with architects and Cornell University staff on access elements. o Contractor must communicate clearly with the Construction Manager, especially on items that pose a risk to either the budget or schedule. o Core Team and contractor must finalize move-in plan, and date of occupancy. o Punch list Close-out/Move-in This phase facilitates the occupancy and turnover of the completed and commissioned project to the Primary Customer. Deliverables Delivery of the completed project to the occupants. Process o See CPDP Guide, Appendix, Item K for the suggested close-out procedures. o Coordinate with Primary Customer on CIT, furnishings and move-in . o Punch list items completed promptly. o Before occupancy, initiate the process of obtaining measured drawings through Facilities Inventory see ―When does a new bulding or renovation get added to the Facilities Inventory?‖ (budget line 02.06.03), and site conditions CAD mapping through PDC Civil Section (budget line 02.06.01). o Obtain Certificate of Occupancy. o Archiving: Sort project materials for dispensation to one of these:  the University Archives (See FIG website)  Facilities Document Records Center  Primary Customer.

o See CPDP, Appendix Item I. The master list defines those records needed for the archives. All other records belong in the Records Center with copies sent to the Primary Customer as needed. o Meet with the PDC archivist to turn over project records to turn over project records, including record drawings and develop a plan for any outstanding documents. See Archiving Questionnaire for this meeting. Other useful links include filing protocol worksheet and document archiving instructions. o Complete commissioning activities, including generation of final building commissioning report and owner training in building operations by the Design consultant and Contractor. o EH&S Hood / Safety Inspections o Fire alarm testing - EH&S o Post-occupancy survey/analysis if desired o Resolution of any claims o Obtain contractual close-out documentation and make final payment to the Contractor. o Financial close-out of project promptly after completion of all work and payment of all project related expenses. Obstacles to Closing a Project Account 1. Open RFS or Purchase Order against a project 2. Legal action or claim (see Risk Management) 3. Lack of final paperwork from the contractor. (for example, .e., record drawings/asbuilts, required O&M manuals & warranties.) 4. Open contract or commitment. Close-out phase lasts through the end of contract warranty periods.

Risk Management in Project Management There are three responsibilities the PM assumes in Risk Management of a project: 

Assess Financial Risk



Outline Legal Relationships



Oversee Aspects of the Claim Process

Assess Financial Risk  During Design Phase/Bid Process/Bid Analysis: Risk Management and Insurance reviews financial risk of contractors with a model developed to determine a contractor’s risk of bankruptcy. The model is only one indicator among others that are used by Contract’s Management to evaluate risk of contractors. 

If the risk is high, Cornell can require a bond from the contractor, which will add to the cost of the project.

Outline Legal Relationships: Design Phase/Have Clear Contracts  The legal relationship concerning risk is defined in the answers to these two questions:



1) Who is responsible for insuring safety on the site? 2) How are safety roles and issues addressed? (see Claims below) Risk Management defines these types of relationships with respect to who is responsible for safety TYPE OF

The PM should understand these relationships. They are defined in the contracts. If the PM knows the contracts and legal relationships which define the University’s exposure to risk, they can better manage the project by determining if the contractor is adhering to responsibilities defined in the contract.

Major Construction Project General Liability Contractor Insurance Requirements A/E Insurance Requirements Builders Risk

What if contractor is not adhering to safety requirements as stated in the contract?  Set up meeting with contractor. If contractor still not meeting requirements: o Set up meeting with contractor and Director of Risk Management and Insurance. If contractor still not meeting requirements:  Set up meeting with contractor and Director of Risk Management and Insurance where Risk Management will state consequences. If contractor still not meeting requirements: Cornell may create a work stoppage, dismiss contractor from site, or terminate contract (depending on seriousness of noncompliance.) It is important that the PM brings many people to the table before this last point is reached, such as EH&S, Director of Construction, etc. Oversee Aspects of the Claims Process  The claims process is determined by the relationships defined in the contracts. Claims occur during the Construction Phase. 

PM needs to know who to call to start the process.

 PM may be asked to provide information about an incident. For this reason, it is important that the PM keep good notes and meeting minutes. PM may also be called to testify in court.  Caution: The PM must be concerned with the facts of the case and not attempt to place blame. Responsibility can only be determined after a full investigation and after all experts have weighed in regarding an incident. Contact Legal Counsel and/or Risk Management before giving any statements.

PROJECT APPROVAL REQUEST ================================================================== This PAR requests an increase in the original authorized amount of $68K (date) to $95k for the connection of the Office Q electric service to the Utility Department’s 13.2kV electric distribution system. This revised PAR will allow for an increase in electric distribution capacity and reliability to accommodate a planned facility to be located near the new office building. ================================================================== 1.

Sponsoring Department: Utilities Department

2.

Purpose and Need: The purpose of this project is to add distribution equipment to an existing medium voltage circuit to allow for the connection of cables to feed the new office building. The need to provide service to the office building comes from the customer’s desire for low electric rates and a high level of reliability.

3.

Scope of Work: The scope of work for this PAR includes the following:

4.



Install a three-way separable tap in manhole 112.



Increase cable capacity from 200 amps to 400 amps.



Increase duct capacity from two-way to three-way. This will allow for a loop circuit plus one spare duct.



The 13.2kV loop circuit will be completed only when plans for future construction are finalized.

Major Alternatives Considered and Why Rejected: •

5.

Have NYSEG provide the electric service to the new office building. This was rejected due to the customer desire for lower electric rates and higher reliability.

Proposed Schedule: The proposed schedule for this phase is as follows:

PROJECT PLAN ================================================================== This Project Plan requests authorization for $75K to fund a Routine Maintenance Cost Study. Associated PARs may be forthcoming, as the study is expected to provide recommendations requiring additional actions. ================================================================== 1. Sponsoring Department: Facilities Management 2. Purpose and Need: The purpose of this project is to analyze and investigate routine maintenance cost data. This is needed to guide planning efforts and assure cost effective maintenance is provided consistent with the University mission and maintenance goals. The Cornell University core endowed campus consists of approximately five million square feet of classrooms, laboratories, offices, athletic facilities, recreation, and other specialty areas. In its mission to lead excellence in education and research, the University facilities continuously evolve and age, with associated changes in maintenance requirements. As a result, it has become increasingly difficult to forecast costs for the routine maintenance portion of the maintenance budget. The maintenance allocation is budgeted in three major categories: planned, routine (unplanned /breakdown), and preventive maintenance. Gross analysis of these major budgetary components indicates the requirements for routine maintenance are growing at a greater rate than the others. Routine Maintenance Costs have more than doubled over the last ten years, going from approximately $1.5M to $3.5M annually. While it could be predicted that routine maintenance spending would be up as a result of the aging physical plant and the growth in the planned maintenance inventory, the exact correlation among these factors is unclear. Analysis of the maintenance costs data is expected to provide useful guidance to correct the trend or verify appropriateness of the current maintenance spending. 3. Scope of Work: The scope of work for this Project Plan includes the following: o • Preliminary investigation of routine maintenance cost information and development of data plots to establish and verify routine maintenance cost trends in terms of maintenance categories, and building usage types. Both macro level (campus) and micro level (building) investigations will be completed.

o • Secondary investigation and analysis to suggest correlations between maintenance costs and applicable building maintenance cost factors: building infrastructure, building use/function, building system technology, building code, legal factors, as well as, University policies and business practices. o • Responsive managerial initiative(s) to guide routine maintenance activities for continued improvement. o • Review the efficacy of the routine maintenance work management process, including work identified, work planning, work scheduling, work accomplishment, documentation, analysis and performance. 4. Major Alternatives Considered and Why Rejected:

• Do nothing. This was rejected because unscheduled maintenance costs have increased significantly in recent years and the investigation will provide necessary facilities managerial information for continuous improvement.



• Maintenance Management has considered funding a term position to achieve the goals of this project but rejected the alternative; because, developing the expertise requires extended time and a change of career path is likely to occur before significant results are gleaned.

Sample Feasibility Study Executive Summary The department of x intends to augment its research capabilities at (name of building) by installing two growth chambers in Room B74. Two used “XYZ Company” growth chambers have been purchased and reassembled in the East wing of (name of building). The chambers are approximately 15 years old and when completed, they will be made operational as part of the departments purchase agreement. To complete the growth chamber installation, they must be connected to an electric power source, a heat rejection system, and additional requirements may become evident during design development. To develop this report Persopn A met with Person B (name of company.), Person C (PDC HVAC/R Shop), and Person D (PDC Mechanical Design) to review the conditions at the site. We reviewed the building conditions to establish options for heat rejection Appling a diversity factor to full time operations, we estimated life cycle energy costs for each of the heat rejection options. Identifying categorical scope elements, we applied gross cost estimating methods and contacted XYZ Company for budget cost information to develop a potential range of construction costs. Infrastructure costs will be sensitive to the design details, selected scope of construction work, and the existing conditions. In this case, electric power is readily available for connection to the growth chambers; however, water based heat rejection sources are not readily available. A source for chilled water requires approximately 500 ft of piping; there is no cooling tower based condenser water loop in the building. A domestic water source is readily available; however, it is not a feasible long term means for heat rejection. Based on these observations and associated economic analysis, air cooled condensing is the most economically feasible means of rejecting heat from the growth chambers. (See Table 1) Reviewing the decision to purchase new or used equipment, we note economic considerations. Two used chambers cost $73K; two new units of equivalent capacity cost approximately $260K. Accommodative infrastructure is necessary for both new and used equipment, as (name of building) is not fully equipped to support growth chamber operations, the cost to provide the infrastructure is expected to be in a range of $100K to $160K. Therefore, capital costs for the new vs. used option are in the ranges of $360K to $420K and $170K to $230K, respectively. Energy requirements are not appreciably different for new and used equipment. The manufacturer representative indicates the technological advances employed in the new chambers primarily reduce manufacturing costs. Long term maintenance costs will also be similar for the used and new equipment; driven by reliability requirements, a comprehensive maintenance program is recommended for both new and used equipment. Nonetheless, there is a risk that maintenance costs will be initially higher for the used equipment, but the decision to purchase new or used equipment is not sensitive to this difference. Therefore, we conclude the used equipment will have minimum life cycle costs. In conclusion, modifying the existing equipment to achieve heat rejection via air cooled condensers results in minimum life cycle costs. To implement this option, new air cooled condensers will be located on the roof immediately above the growth chambers. XYZ Company will adapt new heat rejection systems to the existing growth chambers, and install the new equipment in coordination with local trades. A structural design will also be necessary to place the condensers on the roof, assure structural integrity, and coordinate the required utility connections. Project cost to provide the necessary modifications and infrastructure is estimated to be in the range of $100K to $160K.

Background The Department of X intends to augment its research capabilities at (name of building) by installing two growth chambers and has purchased two used “XYZ Company” growth chambers. The growth chambers have been reassembled at (name of building), but they must be connected to electric power and a means for heat rejection. Electric power is readily available for connection to the growth chambers; however, there are several heat rejection options having significantly different first cost and life cycle costs. The growth chambers have been situated in their present location since 2002 and the department is anxious to put them into operation. The equipment had been purchased through a used equipment broker; disassembly, storage, reassembly, and start-up services had been purchased with costs to date of $73K. If purchased new, a budget estimate of the cost is $130K per chamber. The service provider is contracted to return to the site to complete the work after utility connections have been completed. In an effort to expedite placing the chambers into operation, Person B (name of company.), provided a proposal to design a temporary domestic water system anticipating availability of chilled water in the near future. Person B provided valuable input to establish the alternative options for long term operations. The original water-cooled heat rejection systems on the growth chambers had been connected to a cooling tower condenser water system. A cooling tower is not available at the (name of building) facility, so an alternate means for heat rejection is required. There are several options for providing the necessary heat rejection systems, which have varying levels of cost. (See Heat Rejection Options for a comprehensive explanation of the different system characteristics and cost factors.) Economic analysis indicates that modifying the existing equipment to achieve heat rejection via air cooled condensers results in minimum life cycle costs, and the used equipment will also result in minimum life cycle costs as opposed to purchasing new equipment. Analysis indicates that completing the installation is feasible, and that converting the condensing portion of the refrigeration system water cooled to air cooled will have minimum life cycle costs. Total project costs associated with completing the installation are estimated to be in a range between $100K and $160K. Condition Evaluation of the Growth Chambers The growth chambers are approximately 15 years old and appear to be in good condition capable of providing precision control of environmental conditions for growing plants. A combination of Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium Lights are used to illuminate the chambers to what the manufacturer describes as an optimal spectral blend. The level of lighting can be automatically varied with several levels of lighting. Control is provided electronically by a programmable panel that maintains the lighting level, temperature, humidity, and auxiliary functions such as automatic watering and can be ramped or stepped up to 192 times per day. The design temperature range is 4?C to 40? C with the lights off and 10?C to 40? C with the lights on. The humidity control system is design to maintain 85%RH at 30C, by adding water via spray nozzle humidification, but is not capable of active dehumidification. Temperature is controlled to within 0.5?C and humidity is controlled to within 3%. The design ranges are generally considered to be the industry standard for growth chambers. Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 116

The X Departmentwill be using the chambers for plant growth experiments. The temperature range will be from 10 C to 38 C as a min and max, with most experiments probably in the 24 to 28 range. The humidity control will be in the 45 to 85 %RH range, with most experiments around 50-60%RH. These conditions are all within the capabilities of the growth chambers being considered. Reviewing the condition of the used equipment, the cabinet shells are solid and square, appearing to have good insulation and panel seals. The doors open and close freely. There is some disarray, as most of the ceiling panels have not been installed, and the interior of the units have not been cleaned. The control cabinets remain in a standard condition and control wiring has been terminated at the I/O devices. We understand the assembly contractor will be responsible for final testing of the control components upon connecting the systems to the required utilities. Prior to disassembly, the units where reported to be operational. Nonetheless, the equipment is used and increasing levels of maintenance will be required to keep them operational. Spare parts from a third chamber may reduce the material costs; however, labor associated with storing, handling, cataloging the spare parts will increase the operating expenses. The refrigeration systems will be critical elements in terms of system reliability. The system components have been completely reassembled and the refrigerant piping is brazed together. As such, the refrigeration systems have not been left open to the damaging affects of humidity and airborne dirt. Upon placing the equipment into operation, the lighting and cooling systems will impart significant loads on the electrical system, with associated cost. To provide close tolerance temperature control, the refrigeration compressors will run continuously when the chambers are in operation contributing electric load. The associated energy costs are expected to be in the range of $10K to $20K per year In terms of sustained operability, XYZ Company remains in business providing standard replacement parts for the systems and supporting versatile and reliable growth chamber operation. Additionally, the campus contains many other XYZ Company chambers and there is a significant resource base for maintenance, trouble shooting, and repair. As previously mentioned the refrigeration compressor run continuously and periodic compressor replacement may be necessary. To assure reliable operations, a preventive maintenance program is also outlined in the manufacturers operating instructions. It includes daily system checks and periodic cleaning. Depending upon the reliability requirements and mode of accomplishment, the maintenance costs could vary over a large ranger, but through an effective maintenance strategy, they may be kept between $5K and $10K per year. Heat Rejection Options As previously noted, the purchased growth chambers require a heat rejection system. The existing chambers were previously connected to a cooling tower rejection system. Cooling towers normally complete the heat rejection system and recirculate bulk system water while a portion evaporates to reject waste heat to the atmosphere. The associated cooling towers require ongoing maintenance to prevent fouling from dissolved build-up from the make-up water. However, when combined to serve a large quantity of individual units, they provide the most efficient refrigeration effect with the best economy. In this case, the scale is not sufficiently large to support cooling tower operations. Dry coolers are more commonly used where individual water cooled condensers units must reject heat remotely and at a distance. They recirculate water mixed with antifreeze within a closed circuit having a water-to-air finned heat exchanger and operate at relatively high temperatures, relying on sensible Facilities Project Managers Guide

Page 117

cooling. Spray systems can be incorporated to improve heat transfer with increased maintenance requirements. They provide the advantage of rejecting heat remotely, trading off lowered efficiency caused by higher operating temperature. In this case, we will not consider a dry cooler because, heat rejection can be accomplished within a relatively short distance from the growth chamber. Air cooled condensing provides the most direct means of rejecting system heat. Refrigerant is circulated directly through a remote air cooled heat exchanger. Sensible cooling requires relatively high condensing temperatures, with lower operating efficiency and higher electrical energy costs for the refrigeration compressor energy. Spray water systems can be added to improve efficiency, additional maintenance and first cost requirements must be compared with base characteristics to establish benefit. Relative to the base cooling tower case, the heat rejection costs are minimal and include condenser fan energy and increased refrigeration compressor energy from reduced efficiency of higher condensing temperatures. This is the most economically attractive option. Chilled water condenser cooling is a form of cascaded cooling; the cooling medium is pumped to the site at significant expense to except the heat of rejection from the local refrigeration system. The local system contains a refrigeration compressor which operates at significant expense to refrigerate the system. The cumulative costs of the two refrigeration systems are prohibitively expensive. Therefore the option is not recommended for this application. Domestic water condensing is cost prohibitive and wasteful of potable water resources. Termed once through cooling, this method of condenser cooling results in utility cost to cover the potable water treatment and transportation, as well as, the sanitary waste treatment costs. This method typically provides emergency backup of cooling tower operations or for interim operations while a normal source is being planned and implemented. Direct Chilled Water Cooling is a feasible option that replaces the local refrigeration circuit entirely. Implementing this option requires replacement of the refrigerated cooling coil in the growth chamber with a new chilled water coil. Control system retrofit for the chamber temperature is also necessary. These changes have significant expense and also have a significant impact on operational performance. The cooling coil dewpoint temperature is limited by the chilled water supply temperature, which also limits the ability to operate at lower temperatures and limits the ability to control humidity. Frequently, these limits do not impact usefulness for research involving plant growth. Economic Analysis Alternatives for Condenser Heat Rejection To provide an economic analysis of the alternatives for heat rejection at the condenser, we assume each of the options has a similar level of cost for compressor energy consumption, maintenance, and operation of the refrigeration systems, and develop differential analysis of the available heat rejection media. The analysis indicates that conversion to air cooled condensers will result in minimum life cycle costs. Net present values of five options including first cost and annual differential cost over a 20 year analysis period are presented in the following table.

Please note the analysis does not include the energy costs associated with lighting, humidifying, and heating the chamber. Those costs may be higher by a factor closely related to the Energy Efficiency Ratio of the refrigeration system. This analysis is intended to inform a decision regarding the most economical means of rejecting chamber heat associated with the application described in this report. New vs. Used Growth Chamber Purchase Comparing life cycle costs of purchasing new or used equipment, the energy requirements to operate new or used chambers are similar. The manufacturer indicates that the technology advances employed in the new chambers primarily reduce manufacturing costs and have little if any impact on energy consumption. For example, new lighting ballasts tend to be lighter in terms of weight of the materials used to make them, as higher starting voltage can be generated with electronic components, but the energy required to operate the lights is lower.

Table 2

The refrigeration system components have changed slightly, however, the main characteristic in term of energy consumption has not changed; the refrigeration compressor runs continuously during operation. As the system is used and the refrigeration system had been disassembled there is some risk of an early failure which would cost approximately $10K to replace; failure usually results in acid byproducts in the refrigeration circuit that must be removed. However, both the new and used systems require periodic maintenance to assure early detection of refrigeration leaks, failed components, and clean heat transfer surfaces. Here we would note that the used equipment first costs are significantly lower than new equipment and a decision for used equipment purchase is not sensitive to maintenance costs. In this case annual differential maintenance cost would have to be in excess of $28K to trigger a decision to buy new equipment. See Table 2. Schedule and Mode of Accomplishment As the anticipated costs exceed $50K, the project will require authorization as a capital project through the PAR system for design and construction. The feasibility study report will form the basis of a Design and Construction PAR. Gaining authorization for design and construction will enable pre-purchase of the condensing units which have a 60 to 90 day lead time. Upon receiving PAR approval, design services will begin in order to occur in parallel with equipment pre-purchase. The design documents will define the construction work for a fixed price estimate by PDC shops. After receiving a fixed price estimate within the construction budget, a 2 month construction period is anticipated. Based on this approach, the project can be completed in approximately 6 months after receiving departmental approval to proceed. This approach will also allow for an abbreviated design effort with associate reduction in time requirements and costs. To validate the fixed price cost estimate, we also recommend a parallel estimate; this will add approximately $2K to the project costs. Alternatively, construction documents can be developed for a competitive bid. These documents would have to be developed to a higher level of detail with specifications and general requirements for a contract. The additional design and associated bid periods will add approximately 3 months to the completion schedule. Conclusion In conclusion, providing a mean to reject the heat generated in the growth chambers presents the most challenging obstacle to placing the growth chambers into operation. Several options were considered for meeting the most challenging component of the project. On the basis of minimum life cycle costs, air cooled condensing is a clear choice. Although this choice does not have the lowest first costs, the lowest first cost alternative, domestic water cooling, has high water and sewerage utility costs and is not a viable long term option. The other options have significantly higher costs than the air cooled option.

Page 120

To implement this option, new air cooled condensers will be located on the roof immediately above the growth chambers. XYZ Company will provide proprietary engineered components for installation by union tradesmen. A structural design will also be necessary to place the condensers on the roof, assure structural integrity, and coordinate the required roof penetrations. A new water supply and drainage system will also be provided for humidification and watering. The refrigeration systems will contain sufficient refrigerant to require leak detection and alarm. At this early stage, we also anticipate additional scope may be required to accommodate design details not considered at this early stage, feasibility. Total project costs associated with completing the installation, are estimated to be in a range between $100K and $160K as indicated in the budget presented below. Additional breakdown of the anticipated costs are presented in the appendices. Budget Construction Planning and Design FFE Project Support Transportation Project Management Contingency Total
