1. Background

Corporate Management has endorsed the concept that Project Proposals for individually engineered Budget Items (BIs) will be supported by Design Basis Scoping Papers (DBSPs). Facilities Planning Department (FPD) is responsible for preparation and development of these DBSPs. Consistent with this direction, the procedures for preparing, approving and revising DBSPs contained in this document are mandatory for all organizations involved in developing capital projects, including FPD, the Proponent and the Construction Agency.
