Feasibility Study Report Required Contents and Format

Contents
The checklist provided in this Guideline reflects the items typically addressed in the
Feasibility Study Report for a complex project sited on a large campus. Other items may
need to be added to the Feasibility Study Report to reflect the nature of a specific
project. Other items may not be applicable to all projects. Proposed changes to the
contents of the Feasibility Study Report must be discussed and confirmed with the CMB
Project Manager with overall responsibility for the project before commencing.

Format
The complete Feasibility Study Report is to be provided in hardcopy format as well as on
CD to the CPSP Project Manager with overall responsibility for the project.
The hardcopy of the report is to be in A4 format with folded A3 drawings.
The complete report is to also be provided on CD as a single Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) file.
The CD is also to contain:
• All drawings included in the report as separate, indexed Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) files.
• Drawings included in the report and identified in the Checklist as separate, indexed
CAD compatible drawing (.dwg) files.

Templates have been developed for some sections of the Feasibility Study Report and
these must be used where available. Copies of templates can be obtained from the CMB
project manager with overall responsibility for the project.

Quality Assurance
A copy of the checklist must be included in the Feasibility Study Report.
Included sections must be checked (Y (yes) or N (no)) and the document must be certified
and signed by the Principal Consultant and endorsed and signed by the Consultant
Project Manager.
