Review Process at Facilities Planning
New Process Implemented December 5, 2003
NEWS: As a result of our request for suggestions to help us speed up the review process and reduce the backlog, we are implementing several changes in our methods of handling project submissions and conducting reviews. Please take note of these changes as they will effect all projects.
We have implemented changes to the project information
shown on the web-site under "Capital Construction Project Review and
Approval Status". These changes include listing the project consultants
on the web-site, eliminating the "addendum overdue" notice from
automatically posting when the engineering (or architecture) review may
not have been completed, and posting an estimate of the average and maximum
review times expected at the time a project is submitted. We will also be
implementing a "Dual Review Process", a "Face-to-face Review
Process", and replacing the "Quick Review Process" with a
new "Renovation Review Process". As discussed in further detail
below, projects will be classified upon receipt by SED project managers
into one of several categories as defined in the New York State Building
Code. Projects will be processed differently under these new guidelines
depending on the project’s classification.
