Office of the State Budget • Review capital project requests & Five-Year plans. • Develop Executive Budget Recommendation. • Review & recommend program statements / schematics designs. • Review & recommend project scope / cost changes. • Project Management Agreements. • Review Use & Finance Statements for self-funded projects. CONTACT INFORMATION: Lisa L. Shoemaker Capital Outlay Coordinator Office of the State Budget (517) 335-7192 phone (517) 241-5485 fax Shoemakerl@michigan.gov

  3. Five-Year Plans • Required per DMB Act (MCL 18.1242). • Approval by governing board. • Reflect current priorities, anticipated facility needs, and existing capital base. • Include all projects (those with state cost participation & self-funded projects). • Copies shared with fiscal agencies. • Public documents subject to FOIA.

  4. Capital Project Requests • #1 Priority in the Five-Year Plan. • Projects must address specific academic or research needs. • Preference given to those projects that: - Provide economic return on investment. - Creatively re-adapt, re-use, or renovate existing facilities. - Demonstrate innovative partnerships. • Consideration not given to single projects to renovate and/or construct multiple, independent facilities.

  5. Review Questions Asked? • Does this project advance the academic mission of the institution? • What are the economic benefits for the local community, region, and state? • Is there sufficient rationale for the taxpayers of Michigan to invest scarce resources in this project? • Why should the state invest in one project over another competing higher education request?

  6. ‘Best Practice’ Requests • Priorities aligned with Five-Year Plan. • Demonstrate clarity of purpose. • Performance outcomes. • Provide specifics of program/design plan. • Examine project alternatives. • Consistency (year-to-year, scope). • Proven track record in managing and delivering projects on-budget?

  7. ‘Best Practices’ Cont’d. • Stay in communication! • Develop contacts with the Office of the State Budget and the Fiscal Agencies. • Make sure we have your most current information. If projects or priorities change during the year, it is in your interest to let all of us know. • Available for consultation (drafts). • Campus visits.

  8. What We Don’t Want to See? • Non-academic focus. • Bundling. • Flip-flopping on projects. • Too succinct, or conversely too verbose. • Synergy, synergy, synergy….overreliance on academic jargon. • Avoid pressure for the lounge, café, gaming stations, movie theatre, billiard tables. • Bottom line: Respect the taxpayer dollar.

  9. Navigating the Process The state Capital Outlay process has two key steps -- each requiring enactment of an appropriations bill before construction can begin: 1. Planning Authorization 2. Construction Authorization

  10. Planning Authorization • $100 placeholder in appropriation bill. • Planning authorization allows College to expend its own funds for the development of program / schematic design plans. • Requires competitive selection of design professional. • Planning authorization does not guarantee construction authorization.

  11. Construction Authorization • After the approval of the program statement / schematic plans by JCOS. • $100 placeholder in appropriation bill. • Construction authorization sets in law the total project cost and establishes the financing shares. • College share is required by boilerplate to be no less than 50% of the total cost of the project.

  12. Project Scope / Cost Changes • Project scope or cost changes can only be done with JCOS & Legislative approval. • DMB Act allows for changes in either an enacted appropriations bill or concurrent resolution. • Approval takes time; may delay project. • Cost increase obligation of the institution.

  13. The Legislature • Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee (JCOS) • Includes both House and Senate members. • Representative Morris Hood III, is the current chairperson. Senator Michelle McManus is the vice chairperson. • JCOS provides approvals for state agency, university & community college projects, as well as State Building Authority financing. • Oversight responsibilities for JCOS and DMB are prescribed in the Management and Budget Act (Public Act 431 of 1984, as amended).

  14. Reviews/Approvals After success in securing a planning authorization….. Step #1: Planning Authorization Appropriation Submit draft plans to Office of the State Budget Competitively Select Architect (at own expense) JCOS Approval Office of State Budget / DMB Transmit to JCOS Office of the State Budget / DMB Review Step #2: Construction Authorization Appropriation Construction Phase (to be continued…) Project Management Agreement ….series of DMB Facilities Administration reviews leading to the award of construction contracts, progress monitoring, and ultimately SBA financing.

  15. Project Implementation DMB Facilities Administration provides technical review and oversight throughout the project’s implementation. • Reviews the project against capital outlay assumptions • Reviews design throughout the process • Reviews construction bids • Reviews construction progress • Reviews expenditures • Can provide project management

  16. UNIVERSITY OR COMMUNITY COLLEGE CHOICE – SELF-MANAGE? • Universities and Community Colleges may self-manage their projects. OR • Universities and Community Colleges may have the Design & Construction Division (DCD) manage the project for ½% additional fee. If self-managing, the Project Management Agreement outlines responsibilities.

  17. CAPITAL OUTLAY ASSUMPTIONS • The project is intended for an educational purpose. • The project is not an income-generating building. • The University or Community College owns the land or the building. • The land is clear, environmentally clean, and ready to build on. • The University or Community College has the matching funds required. • The architect, engineering firm, or construction manager has been competitively selected. • The completed project will have the equipment and furnishings required to function and will be ready to move into. (NOTE – re-use of existing furniture and equipment is strongly encouraged).

  18. DCD REVIEWS • PROGRAM & SCHEMATIC DESIGN • PRELIMINARY/DESIGN DEVELOPMENT • FINAL DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS • BIDDING AND AWARD • MONTHLY CONSTRUCTION REPORTS • EXPENDITURES & REIMBURSEMENT

  19. PROGRAM/SCHEMATIC DESIGN • Office of the State Budget and DCD concurrently review submittal • DCD reviews submittal for conformance with: • Capital Outlay Request • Major Project Design Manual • Building Requirements • Space Utilization Guidelines • Area Calculations -- Efficiency • Schedule • Total Project Cost • If acceptable, recommends Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee (JCOS) submission to the Office of the State Budget.

  20.

  24. EXPENDITURE • Project Management Agreement contains requirements for project expenditures. • IRS regulations and the Major Project Design Manual determine allowability, whether the purchase is from “local” funds or not. • Universities or Community Colleges must expend their entire share before receiving reimbursement. • Universities or Community Colleges assume cash flow burden until State Building Authority financing is complete. • Expenditure is allowed until 23 months past the Certificate of Tenantability but can not be used to “enhance” the project.
