Introduction to the Facilities Project Managers Guide
Execut ive Summ ary
The Facilities Project Managers Guideis designed to support theCapital Project Delivery ProcessGuide by providing the how to of Project Management for capital projects at CornellUniversity. It is written for Project Managers.
The Capital Project Delivery ProcessGuide describes the whatof Project Management, and waswritten to provide better clarity of the process for project development for clients and usersoutside Facilities Services.
The Facilities Project Managers Guide describes the process for managing large capitalprojects overseen by Facilities Services; it also provides guidelines common to all capitalprojects. Small projects may have a very different structure than large projects. Project size anddifficulty depend on the desired program, scope of work, and the complexity of the space inwhich it is to be constructed. Renovation projects are also addressed, to some degree, in thisguide.

Faci li t ies Services: Key Departments
Facilities Services is an administrative support division that includes many of the departmentstypically involved in capital projects. In this section, we will briefly outline some of these keydepartments and their roles in capital projects:
Contracts & Capital Projects
Contract Colleges Facilities
Facilities Management
Planning, Design and Construction
Office of the University Architect
Utilities and Energy Management
The Office of the Vice President, Facilities Services serves Cornell through the planning,design, construction, operation and ongoing maintenance of University facilities. All of thedepartments in Facilities Services may participate as stakeholders in the Project Delivery
Process. Two of the departments, Contract Colleges Facilities and Planning, Design andConstruction, play a central role in the management of projects for customers outside theFacilities Services Division. Contracts & Capital Projectsalso plays a central role in executingthe contracts and administering the payments associated with the contracts. The role of thesethree departments, along with others, in the execution of Cornells capital projects issummarized below.
TheContracts & Capital Projects Office(C&CP) has two primary functions:
The formation and management of facilities-related contracts;The financial tracking support for Project Managers who manage capital projects.
Contract formation and management services typically include contracts forarchitectural/engineering design, consulting services, testing services, renovations andconstruction services for both capital and non-capital projects.
Financial support includes invoice processing and project tracking to monitor the financialstatus of projects in support of Project Managers who are responsible for capital projects.Further, this office provides regular project status report summaries to the Buildings &Properties Committee of the Board of Trustees.
The Contracts & Capital Projects Office is funded as an enterprise and charges both on anhourly rate and on a lump sum basis for its services.
The Contract Colleges Facilities Office (CCF) manages the Contract Colleges Capital Planincluding project development, initiation, and execution. They facilitate the management ofState University Construction Fund (SUCF) projects and provide project management forCollege and University funded capital projects for the Contract Colleges (State campus). TheContract Colleges Facilities Office is funded by an appropriation.

Project Design and Construction (PDC) provides project management services for generalbuilding and renovation projects in its Science and Technology and Architectural sectionsProjects that are somewhat trade specific, such as a mechanical upgrade or structural repair,are generally managed in one of the PDC Engineering sections. PDC is funded as an enterpriseand bills on an hourly rate for project management services.
Project Planning and Estimating(PP&E) is often the first point of contact when considering arenovation or small project. This group provides estimates for work and architectural design
services that in most cases are constructed by the PDC Shops. Projects that are constructed bythe PDC Shops may be managed within one of the Shops or by one of the aforementionedsections.
PDC also includes a Construction Managementsection that specializes in the management ofthe construction phase of our medium and large building projects.
The Campus Planning Office and the University Architect become involved in any newbuilding project and any other project that impact the physical campus of the University. Seethe PM Toolbox training:The Campus Planning office in Capital Projects.
Maintenance Management provides an ADA Coordination function that serves to assist
Project Managers in the ADA accessibility implications of their projects. For every projectProject Managers should conduct a preliminary review to determine what, if any, elementswill impact accessibility in the interim (construction) or long term for their project. If theirprojects have implications for accessibility in either the short or long terms, the ADACoordinator should be involved. If it is unclear if there are any elements for accessibilityconsultation with the ADA Coordinator for determination is recommended.

Project Team
Core Team
Executive Group
Primary Customer
Project Executive / Director
Project Manager
Construction Manager
Project Coordinator
The Core Team for a project includes, at a minimum, the Primary Customer and the ProjectManager. The Core Team may also include a Construction Manager, a Project Coordinator, aProject Director and others who are directly involved with the project. The Core Team mayreport to an Executive Group.
Executive Group
Larger, more complex projects (e.g., new buildings, laboratory renovations) often have anExecutive Group. The Executive Group makes strategic project decisions that don t requireapproval by the senior University administrators who represent the Capital Funding andPriorities Committee (CF&PC)or theBuildings and Properties Committee(B&P) of the Boardof Trustees, and makes recommendations for decisions that do require such approvals. Thegroup stays informed of project progress and challenges, and provide guidance to the CoreTeam. The Executive Group is selected by and may be chaired by the Executive Vice Presidentfor Finance and Administration. Alternatively the Group may be chaired by the Dean or VicePresident of the College or Division sponsoring the project.
Other members typically include the following:
The Department Directors who will use or administer the new space;
Someone from the Office of Planning and Budget , if central University funds areinvolved;
TheVice President for Facilities Servicesor theDirector of Project Design andConstruction;
Others associated with the project.
The Core Project Team acts as staff to support the Executive Group, and may provide theagenda for the meetings. When properly configured and chaired, the Executive Groupprovides a valuable forum for debating and resolving project issues and establishing strategicproject goals and direction.

Project Executive / Director
Construction programs consisting of a series of capital projects or a very complex single
project (e.g. residential initiatives, new science buildings), may have a ProjectExecutive/Director (PE/PD). The purpose of this position is to ensure that the sequence ofcapital projects are coordinated and meet the overall scope, schedule and budget goals of theUniversity. The PE/PD is generally a senior staff member in the Facilities Services Divisionand serves to guide the project team.
Project Manager
The principle responsibility of the Project Manager is to deliver the project within the scopeschedule, and budget agreed to by all of the stakeholders of the project. The Project Managermay delegate tasks to other project team members, but still retains the responsibility for projectsuccess. One of the key responsibilities of the Project Manager is to communicate and consultwith all of the various stakeholders. In one of the sections below in this guide, you will find thenumerousproject stakeholderswho may have a stake in capital projects. The Project Manageris responsible for including those stakeholders relevant to the project, and establishing abalance between the sometimes conflicting goals of project stakeholders and between thevarious elements of the project (scope, schedule, budget, etc.).
Construction Manager
Larger projects (>$2M) typically use the services of a Construction Manager (CM) whomanages the construction phase of the project and who is the single point of contact for theContractor. The split of project tasks between the Project Manager and Construction Manager
is not fixed; however, the Project Manager retains responsibility for the overall success of theproject, budget and design.
Project Coordinator
Larger projects typically have a Project Coordinator (PC) who assists the Project ManagerPCs also manage projects that range in value from $50,000 to $500,000 having the sameresponsibilities as a Project Manager. The PC provides both administrative support to theproject team, and technical support to the project. PCs play a major role in large and smallprojects, from inception of the project through to close-out.
Project Coordinator ResponsibilitiesThe PC Matrix is a sample guide for the roles and responsibilities of each of the threelevels of Project Coordinator (PC1, PC2, and PC 3). The roles may be assigneddifferently for each project and depending on the expereineces of thos involved. Theymay also change as the project progresses.
