The Capital Program Planning Process guides the development and prioritization of all planned capital construction projects in alignment with strategic goals of the University.

Use

Any capital project that was not included in the approved fiscal year capital program needs to have a Segment Contingency Request Form completed with one of three types selected to define your request:

• Unplanned Break/Fix: Includes one or more unforeseen conditions requiring a project in the current fiscal year to maintain function and/or protect assets or people

  • Examples: Leaking roof, equipment failure

• Overage: Includes unexpected increase in cost above approved project budget to execute required scope

• Unplanned Requirement: Includes an unplanned opportunity requiring project or study in current fiscal year to meet strategic needs and appropriately utilize available resources. Deferral would result in lost net revenue or significantly and adversely affect the academic or research progress of the college or department
