The Chancellor's office will review the current status of each Campus Master Plan as it relates to actual campus development, Five Year Facilities Development Plans, and Annual Capital Development Plans and establish with the Campus Presidents the requirements and extent of required formal updates to each Master Plan.

Based on the established schedule for updates to Campus Master Plans, Campus Administrations shall provide the Chancellor with a tentative schedule and Campus Planner proposed for the completion of the Campus Master Plan Update, and the Chancellor's office thereafter will advise the Physical Properties Committee and the Board of Trustees of the schedule for updates of such Master Plans on an annual basis.

When updated Campus Master Plans or Amendments to the Master Plan as noted hereinafter, are ready for review for approval by the Physical Properties Committee and the Board, the Campuses will allow for a minimum of two (2) consecutive Board meetings to complete the presentation, review, and approval process. This will allow the Physical Properties Committee and the Board of Trustees adequate time to thoroughly review each Campus Master Plan before approval thereof.

Campus Facilities Officers shall confer with the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration and/or the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Construction Management on the extent of ongoing changes in each campus environment, and a determination will be made on the requirements for Formal Amendment(s) to each Campus Master Plan and the subsequent review and approval by the Physical Properties Committee and the Board.

Reference Attachment I which will be used by the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Construction Management to update the System Data Base on construction activities.

The revised Board Rule 415 promulgates/requires a 鈥淨ualifications Based Selection Process鈥� for consultants with appropriate approvals of consultant rankings by the Chairman of the Physical Properties Committee and the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration of the 星空无限传媒 System before submission to the Physical Properties Committee and the Board. The revised Board Rule 415 is very specific with respect to selection procedures which will be used for Architect/Engineers and also for other First Tier professionals such as Construction Managers, Program Managers, and other construction entities with primary contract responsibilities for project delivery.

Second Tier consultants for such services as geotechnical engineering, interior design services, and building commissioning should also be selected using the 鈥淨ualifications Based Selection Process鈥�, but do not require specific approval by the Physical Properties Committee or the Board, except for those services where compensation will be equal to or exceed $100,000. Funding for such services, however needs to be clearly identified in project budgets and the selection procedures for such services shall be clearly documented for the file. Contracts for Third Tier consulting services such as acoustical studies, wind tunnel studies, cost estimating, scheduling, etc., are not considered major consulting engagements and will not require the detail interview and ranking procedures outlined in the revised Board Rule 415; unless advised otherwise by the Chancellor鈥檚 office or the Chairman of the Physical Properties Committee.In implementing the above referenced procedure for the selection of major consultants, those individuals who are appointed to serve on Selection Committees should have senior level experience either in the architectural, engineering, or construction administration fields or have faculty credentials associated with facility requirements in programs for Capital Projects. It is important also, that all members of a Selection Committee are fully familiar with the guidelines for such activities outlined in Board Rule 415, and a copy of such selection procedures should be provided to each individual appointed to a Selection Committee.

Since the revised Board Rule 415 requires a 鈥淨ualification鈥檚 Based Selection Process鈥�, the goal of each Selection Committee should be to evaluate consultants based as a minimum on the criteria established in Attachment 鈥淏鈥� to Board Rule 415. Each Committee should have a senior level employee licensed as a professional architect or engineer on the Committee, if possible, to serve as a professional advisor and to staff the Committee. It is highly desirable that only senior level managers be appointed to such Committees and such important responsibilities should not be delegated to others. Senior managers who are charged with this responsibility of staffing such Committees shall verify that all such procedures associated with project notifications, qualifications of firms being interviewed, interview outlines, and the consultant rankings must be in strict accordance with the new guidelines established by Board Rule 415. (See Tab 3-K for Supplemental Information on the 鈥淨ualifications Base Selection Process.鈥�

Each campus should establish a uniform format for notifications to consultants who will be interviewed for capital projects, as required by Board Rule 415, and such notifications shall be in strict accordance with this section of Attachment 鈥淏鈥� to Board Rule 415 (see Tab 3-L) to ensure timely and complete notifications to 星空无限传媒 Based Architects and Engineers.

The revised Board Rule 415 and the laws of the State of 星空无限传媒 require appropriate licensing for design and construction consultants engaged for Capital Projects. From time to time, there may be corporate entities or other businesses who offer to provide such design or construction services to the campuses, and in such cases all interviews, selection, and contracting associated with such work should be conducted only with those professional entities from those corporations who are properly licensed to offer such services and from a management standpoint, are individuals who are in responsible charge of the services being provided. As an example, in some cases partnerships, corporations, or companies may hold a 鈥淐ertificate of Authorization鈥� issued by a Board of Licensure to be engaged in the offering of such professional services; however, the firms themselves who hold such Certificates are not licensed to practice architecture or engineering. Only those individuals within such a firm, who are properly licensed may be engaged in the providing of such services. Furthermore, entities operating under a 鈥淐ertificate of Authorization鈥� must have a principle officer or officers duly licensed to practice in the State of 星空无限传媒, and who shall be in responsible charge of the practice and offering the practice of such professional services on behalf of the partnership, corporation or company. In order to assure full compliance with State Laws and Board Rule 415 the acquiring of professional services from such partnerships, corporations or companies, shall be conducted only with those principle officers of the entity who are properly licensed and in responsible charge of the practice of architecture/engineering.

Consultant Selection Committees should furnish candidates, a prescribed presentation format (interview outline) to be used during the interview, and require that only those consulting personnel who will be directly involved in providing such services to the University will be involved in the interview process (See Tab 3-M for examples).

The appointment of a Consultant Selection Committee, scheduled formal interviews by the Selection Committee, and thereafter the final ranking of consultant firms must be scheduled to provide for a timely review by the Chairman of the Physical Properties Committee and the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration of the 星空无限传媒 System. Consequently, these activities must be completed and correspondence transmitted to the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration and the Chairman of the Physical Properties Committee a minimum of three (3) weeks prior to the date stipulated for receipt of Board Packages in the System Office for each scheduled Board meeting. Separate letters should be addressed to the Chairman of the Physical Properties Committee and the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration and shall include as a minimum the following:

1. Reference project name, location, and project number
2. Reference date of Stage I approval for the project
3. Date(s) of informative notifications to 星空无限传媒 based companies on the project and the methods used for such notifications
4. List consulting firms pre-qualified and interviewed for the project, list date of formal interviews by Consultant Selection Committee, and the ranking of the three (3) firms determined to be the most qualified for the project
5. Describe the primary selection criteria used by the Consultant Selection Committee and minimum of the four (4) most important criteria used in determining the three ( 3) most qualified consultant firms
6. Request (1) approval of ranking of consultant firms and (2) approval to submit rankings to Physical Properties Committee and Board for the next scheduled Physical Properties Committee/Board of Trustees meeting and/or Executive Committee meeting
7. Includes signature block for review and approval by the Chairman of the Physical Properties Committee and the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration of the 星空无限传媒 System on each request for approval of consultants rankings
