The Close-Out Stage begins at Substantial Completion and ends when the project is designated as Completed. During this stage, major construction is finished, and the primary activities are Punch Lists and Legal/Accounting documentation. During this period the customer may or may not be occupying the space. The stage is an “Active” status stage.

The project is done. A project only enters this stage once ALL construction has finished and ALL paperwork has been approved. At this point the customer should be in complete control of the project area.

The project is done. In general, once a project has been designated as Completed the status should not change.

Also referred to as a 'rough order of magnitude estimate' A conceptual estimate is based on limited design and existing condition information, and therefore may be less accurate than a detailed estimate based on complete design documents. Conceptual Estimates are used to assist in determining budgeting requirements.

A set of plans and specifications produced during the Design Stage that are detailed enough to be used as a reference for companies to bid the job or perform the work.

See 'Work In Progress Stage'.

All documentation necessary to bid and award the construction contract. These include Construction Documents and the Terms and Conditions for the contract.

A calculated cost for each feature of the project. The Cost Estimate is refined as the project progresses. Different levels of Cost Estimates include: Conceptual Estimate, Schematic Design Estimate and Detailed Estimate.

Three levels of cost estimating may be used for purposes of capital funding requests (Program Renewal): 1) unit cost estimating 2) rough order of magnitude estimating (ROME) and 3) feasibility study/predesign estimating. Dollar amounts listed for Biennium 2009-11 Only 1. Unit Cost Estimating : The following unit cost estimating formulas may be used for small, less complex projects. These square foot costs should be considered as initial estimates only, and if funded, will be verified through more detailed cost estimating. Offices, other low systems-intensive spaces, ie conference rooms, libraries Remodels <250 sq ft accomplished by FS Alterations: $140/gsf Remodels >250 sq ft accomplished by FS Alterations: $300/gsf 2. Rough Order of Magniture Estimate (ROME) : Request services from CPO Estimating for projects larger than #1 above 3. Long Lead Projects: Wet labs and high systems-intensive projects may be initially estimated for planning purposes by using a unit cost of $560/gsf, although in virtually all instance these more complex projects will first be funded for feasibility assessment and predesign prior to the final funding decision. This feasibility assessment step will help ensure cost estimates adequately address building systems needs and other factors that historically drive up costs.Pre-funding for long lead projects will be considered so that design and construction can proceed in the biennium.

The design stage typically involves professional assistance in defining the project. This often includes detailed estimates, schematic design, and advanced programming. This period begins with the approved Project Work Plan and ends with the completed Bid Documents. In general the Design Stage does not begin until the customer provides at least some initial funding.

To support the University of Washington's teaching, researching, and service missions, the Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) Department assists organizational units in meeting their responsibility to protect the environment and to provide a safe and healthful place of employment and learning. EH&S provides support to the Capital Projects office through plan review and consultation to help assure that new and renovated buildings are safe and that they conform to regulatory requirements. EH&S also assesses facilities and manages a number of minor capital safety projects to improve the health and safety in existing facilities.

A facility not only includes buildings, but also the stadiums, work sheds, parking lots, grounds, fountains, tunnels and other campus features. Numbering is controlled by the UW’s Capital and Space and Planning Office (CASPO). Their website is at (www.washington.edu/admin/facserv/buildingsalpha.html)

UW Emergency Management (UWEM) provides a limited number of short-term, one-time emergency management and homeland security grants. Open to UW departments and operating units, these annual UW funds support internal programs that improve the overall emergency preparedness efforts for the campus community. These operational funds support units adressing key vulnerabilities in their respective operations, facilities and plans/procedures. Completed applications must be received by the UWEM by September 1st of each year to be considered for the remainder of the fiscal year. Approved projects will be posted on the UWEM website. Work must be completed by June 30th of the following year.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria. LEED is a self-assessing system established through the US Green Building Council designed for rating new and existing commercial, institutional and high-rise residential buildings. It evaluates environmental performance from a "whole building" perspective over a building's life cycle, providing a definitive standard for what constitutes a green building.

UW Emergency Management coordinates the application process for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Grant, which is available on a nationally-competitive basis for seismic or storm-related improvement projects. There is a 25% non-Federal cost share requirement with a current $3 million project cap on the Federal share of the project. The project must not exceed three years for full implementation and completion. UW criteria for selecting Nonstructural Mitigation Projects: • Must be a minimum of $500,000 solution due to up-front costs and time commitment of application • Must address one or more of the following evaluation criteria: life-safety, address protecting high-value items or have a major impact to the continuity of operations of the unit/university. • Must be separate from the State Budget Requests process or Capital Budget request. • UW UWEM selects annually will select 1-2 projects to submit to the State/FEMA for further consideration If selected: • Individual from unit assigned to work with UWEM and Capital Projects on data gathering for the technical Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) • Unit or department accepts the 25% local match for the PDM For more information, please contact UW Emergency Management at (206) 897-8000.

A report of the estimated costs for a project. The format is similar to a Washington State Legislature report (C100) required for projects over 5 million dollars.

Tracker follows two sets of costs: Approximate Total Project Cost and Approximate Current Stage Cost. Approximate Total Project Cost equals the amount of money to build a project idea to completion. Approximate Current Stage Cost equals expected monies to be spent for a portion of the project. Often this reflects the costs for a study re the feasibility of building the project.

A period of time. UW Project Tracker uses the word 'Stage' in place of 'Phase'. See 'Project Stage'.

Describes the project’s phase along the road to completion. UWPT recognizes six general stages (or time periods) for all projects. Each stage has a number of detailed tasks that are completed during that period. In general, a project moves from one Stage to the next. Possible Stages are: Planning, Design, Bidding, Work in Progress (Construction), Closeout, Completion.

A short project description including building, floor and room.

All construction work that will equal or exceed $35,000 if the work involves one trade or craft, or $55,000 if the work involves more than one trade or craft, must follow Washington Public Works laws, which provides for award of a contract to the responsible bidder submitting the low responsive bid, and requires payment of prevailing wages. For projects estimated to cost under $200,000, bids may be solicited from a list of contractors on the University's Small Works Roster. If the project is estimated to cost more than $200,000, it must be publicly advertised.
