an analysis of potential project sites
analysis of the development options including the Do Nothing option
a professionally prepared project budget
cost/benefit and life-cycle cost information for major decisions
a set of conceptual or preliminary drawings (prior to schematic design phase)
a recommendation of the project management process to be used; and
a discussion of scheduling constraints and impact on program and budget.
The Feasibility Report must be presented in the following format:
Executive Summary
Project Brief
Project Analysis
Site Analysis
Development Options
Analysis of Constraints
Cost Analysis
Cash Flow
Project Drawings
Staging Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Describe in brief:
the nature of the proposed project
information provided by the University
how the feasibility was conducted
assumptions made.
Provide the estimated useful life of the capital improvement, total project cost and project milestones
including date of completion. Also, describe how the project fits with the Universitys strategic or Business
Case.

PROJECT ANALYSIS

Purpose A brief statement as to the specific problem or objective that creates the need for the
project:

Alternatives Considered Give a brief description of each alternative that was considered. Also
describe why the alternate is not proposed.

Participating Organisations List all other agencies or organisations to be affected by or


involved in this project. For example co-location with another agency, or any consequential
relocations.

Project Management Detail the management method proposed to procure the design and
construction of the project. An organisational chart should identify in-house and consultant services
required to procure the project. Options such as project management, design & construct,
construction management, staged construction, fast tracking, negotiated tender, or cost-plus
construction should be considered.

Schedule The Feasibility Report should include a milestone schedule for the project, including
budget approval, design, bid, construction, equipment installation, testing, start-up, and full
operation milestone target dates. Possible staging of the project should be discussed. Long lead
time supply items should be identified. The schedule should reflect the recommended
management method as discussed above. Attention should also be paid to the funding schedule
when will funds be available for the project phases?
