CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Capital Improvement Planning overall methodology
The FY 2015 CIP process and resulting project commitments
Request for new projects and project approval protocol
Capital Improvement Plan – a program that establishes a short-range (5 year) plan , updated annually, identifying specific projects to be developed with a schedule (ranked) and costs with options for financing, providing link between the
Strategic Academic Plan, Facility Needs Assessment, Facility
Condition Assessment and the Capital Budget .
Capital Improvement Plans are common industry practice for municipalities and universities of significant size.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Every 3 years 1/3 of the campus is surveyed and its physical deficiencies are documented. A value equal to the cost to repair/cost to replace (the FCI or Facilities Condition
Index ) is determined. The FCI provides a “snapshot” of the building’s condition.
The CIP was presented to the UH System Board of Regents in
May 2014. The Board charged facilities staff with the annual goal of improving the institution’s overall FCI , and using this as a metric in their progress card to monitor progress. The CIP is presented annually to the Board of Regents in May.
The goal of the implementation of the CIP is to move the 5
‐ year
FCIN from poor condition to fair (FCIN between 5% and 10%) condition by 2017, by appropriately investing resources in the institution’s facilities and infrastructure.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The major 2015 project identified by FCA is the expansion of the
Cougar Substation, without which we could not have guaranteed reliable power to future buildings or to existing research projects.
A second significant project is the renovation of 8 legacy building in the campus core: buildings which support liberal arts and STEM programs and provide numerous general purpose classrooms to the community.
Major non-capital projects were also identified for action/improvement: these included numerous projects affecting life safety, academic program operation and accreditation, student wellbeing and security, and emergency operations.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The construction market for Houston is volatile!
Signs of increasing competition for labor:
Major K-12 Bond Projects
MFA $450 million Redevelopment Plan
Numerous cranes in the Houston area
Factors Mitigating Cost:
Decline in oil prices
Timing affects costs! We will update the standardized cost data on which estimates are based quarterly
15
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The project approval process is analytical and objective .
Project cost estimating involves a combination of THECB historical construction cost data, UH historical cost data, and market research.
Construction cost estimated are escalated to meet the timing of the project.
As our campus ages, and with continual new development, improvements to utility infrastructure take central stage.
Existing utility capacity has a substantial impact on tech-intensive buildings.
We are here to work with you on both short- and long-term projects, from lab start-ups to your 2020 goals and beyond.
