Design and Construction projects fall into two different categories: Major Capital and Minor Capital Projects:
What is Major Capital?
- Any Public Works Project that is over $1,103,000 in total project costs.
- These projects include major renovations, infrastructure upgrades, and new buildings.
- These projects can be completed by a competitive contractor bid method and delivered in various formats, such as Construction Manager at Risk and Collaborative Design-Build.
- Timelines for these projects are usually 12 months to 36 months depending upon the project and design/construction delivery method.
What is Minor Capital?
- Any Public Works project that is under $1,103,00 in total project costs.
- Projects that consist of facility modifications that include change in use, minor renovations, or system upgrades.
- These projects can be completed by our Facilities Project Services Group, an approved vendor, or utilizing our collaborative minor capital delivery method called Small Project Task Order Construction Agreement (TOCA)
