Overview

The determining factors for the proper approval path for a capital project are project consistency with framework documents, total project budget, and delegations of authority.

Project consistency is determined using:

• The most recently approved Capital Financial Plan (CFP),
• The accepted Physical Design Framework (PhDF), and
• The approved Long Range Development Plan (LRDP).

Consistency with PhDF and LRDP not required for off-campus projects for which there is no applicable PhDF or LRDP.

Total project budget is defined as all costs of the project including administrative, design, construction, interest accrued during construction, costs related to infrastructure needed to implement the project, and where applicable equipment costs as well as acquisition cost of land or other real property.

Delegations of authority: Regents Policy 8103 on Capital Project Matters delegates specific capital project approval authorities to the President of the University. Delegation of Authority 2629 further delegates some of these capital project approval authorities.

See the Templates and Guidelines and Resources sections of this site for additional resources relating to capital project approvals.

Questions should be directed to campus/medical center capital planning staff or the UCOP Director of Capital Planning.
