Feasibility Study Phase
Identify gaps in knowledge.
Determine the need to commission any special studies (e.g., seismic, progressive
collapse, blast, historic preservation) before beginning the Feasibility Study.
Include these special studies within the scope of work and coordinate with the
project Work Plan and schedule.
Concentrate on understanding key issues, uncertainties, expectations, and basic
project drivers by talking with GSA, the customer, and other stakeholders. Many
of these persons may join the Feasibility Study team later; tap their knowledge
now to help shape the approach and the scope of work.
