1) REQUEST
Authorized department personnel can submit a Request for Estimate
A Project Manager (PM) will contact the requestor within fifteen business days to setup an appointment to review the request, develop the scope of work, and evaluate the project.
2) ESTIMATE
Drawings will be submitted to the appropriate parties for review and approval.
For smaller projects delivered by FM staff, the PM will meet with the trades' supervisors to review the details of the project.
Once all trades deliver their estimates and the required approvals are received, a formal quote letter will be sent to the requestor. This quote is valid for 90 days.
For large projects, estimation may be performed externally and a PM will work together with the requestor on the timeline.
3) FUNDING
If the requestor would like to move ahead with the project, a University financial account number must be provided.
4) SCHEDULING
The PM will coordinate and run the project from start to finish and communicate with the customer regarding scheduling and updates.
If there are any changes in the estimated scope of work, the PM will determine if additional funding is necessary. If an increase is necessary, a Change Order will be submitted to the requestor for approval.
Written approval will be required from the requestor before any change orders are executed.
