REGENTS’ POLICY
PART V – FINANCE AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
Chapter 05.12 - Capital Planning and Facilities Managemen

P05.12.010. Purpose.

1. The purpose of this policy is to promote excellent stewardship for buildings, infrastructure and other facilities at each of the University of Alaska campuses: to set forth an expectation for achieving sustained funding that assures preservation of the investment in facilities and extends building life and usefulness; and to establish planning processes that provide accurate data for decision making and effective management. 
2. A comprehensive program of facilities planning, capital budgeting and project development, and facilities operations and maintenance is essential for the university to effectively serve students, faculty, and staff. Facilities planning, design, construction, management, and operation functions shall be systematically performed in accordance with regents’ policy, university regulation, and guidelines as may be authorized by the chief finance officer. 
3. The university strategic and academic guidance as well as the academic and programmatic needs of each campus will drive the respective facilities functions and the board has adopted the program resource planning process to guide that effort; each of the respective universities will take ownership of and implement those facility functions and capital planning; and the system office will be responsible for development of policies, procedures, and processes for coordination of systemwide studies, due-diligence reviews and oversight on capital projects including a review of projects prior to advancing a project through the various stages of project development and approval. 
4. Before being presented to the board or other authority for approval, capital planning and large capital improvement projects shall be presented to the system office chief facilities officer for review and processing. 
5. Capital projects for the creation, renovation, renewal, remodeling and adaptation of buildings, outdoor spaces, other support spaces, or supporting infrastructure shall be developed and justified through a planning process that considers total cost of ownership and program delivery, and assures cost effective and practical solutions in support of program delivery. Projects shall be professionally designed and managed; optimal utilization of existing space emphasized; and existing facilities maintained in a manner that is cost effective, extends their useful lives, and is consistent with campus objectives as may be approved or modified by the respective university. 
6. To help implement and maintain a comprehensive capital planning, budgeting and project development program, each university shall include a capital-planning surcharge within its capital project administrative overhead rate in accordance with procedures to be established by the system office chief finance officer. The system office may also assess a fee or fees to the respective projects to fund central planning and oversight activities relative to capital assets. The system office chief finance officer may coordinate the timing of assessment and payment of such fees; may authorize funding of such fee or fees with unrestricted funds or inclusion within a capital-planning surcharge rate; and may periodically review the fees charged to capital projects and approve the applicable planning surcharge rates.

P05.12.020. Definitions. 

In this chapter:

1. “alterations and improvements” means construction improvements that are generally performed in response to tenant or occupant requests for modification of space; these projects may be performed in conjunction with other types of activities, but costs must be identified and apportioned separately from, M&R, DM&R or R&R project activities. 
2. “campus master plan” means a comprehensive planning document, separate from but, in support of the institution and campus academic, strategic and capital plans, that is premised on existing physical resources and current and anticipated needs, and is developed through a collaborative or consultative process including the community, faculty, students and others;

The board or committee will not grant schematic design approval for a capital project unless it implements or amends the adopted campus master plan. 
2. Unless otherwise designated by the approval authority or a material change in the project is subsequently identified, schematic design approval also represents approval of the proposed cost of the funded phase(s) of the project and authorization to complete the design development process, to bid and award a contract within the approved budget, and to proceed to completion of project construction. If a material change in the project is subsequently identified, such change will be subject to the approval process described in P05.12.074.

Approval levels required for material changes in the source of funds, increases in budget, or material changes in project scope identified subsequent to schematic design approval shall be determined by the system office chief facilities officer based on the extent of the change and other relevant circumstances. This determination will generally be based on the nature of the funding source, the amount, and the budgetary or equivalent scope impact relative to the approved budget at the schematic design approval stage, and assigned as follows: 

1. Changes with an estimated or actual project budget impact in excess of the lesser of 1) 25% of the total project cost or 2) $2.5 million will require approval by the board committee responsible for facilities;

Such reports shall be maintained in a manner so as to allow incorporation into the regular construction in progress report. 
2. The final project report shall be filed within 90 days after the end of the warranty period for all board approved projects of more than $5.0 million, including new construction, expansion and significant remodel for reuse.
