Exhibit 4.5: Feasibility Study Deliverables
The Feasibility Study must present the following information for decision-makers at GSA and at the customer agency and,
ultimately, stakeholders in the administration and in Congress.
Customer Agency's Goals
Defines the customer agency's business goals and their impact on the facility's requirements.
Describes workplace performance goals, space assignments, and flexibility needs.
Creates building requirements. Creates the customer's housing plan, taking into
consideration any special space requirements, required adjacencies and square
footage, and future uncertainties.
Identifies the project's requirements and the consequences if action is not taken.
Asset and Portfolio Goals
Defines the project within the context of other available master plans.
Addresses the project's impact on all affected GSA assets and interdependent projects
and describes customer-pricing implications.
Discusses facility operation, durability, and life-cycle costing requirements.
Addresses opportunities, risks, and required actions to meet accessibility, historic
preservation, environmental, urban development, and Design Excellence goals.
Identifies special requirements for foundations, structures, exteriors, electrical and
mechanical systems, site work and landscaping opportunities, geotechnical analysis of
site, and considerations for special construction and demolition, among other items.
Program Goals
Addresses opportunities, risks, and required actions to meet accessibility, historic
preservation, fire protection engineering, life safety, urban development, environmental,
and Design Excellence goals.
Alternatives
Develops creative and broad alternatives as the heart of the Feasibility Study.
Evaluates a range of alternatives to shape the appropriate project.
Identifies, defines, and evaluates alternatives.
Considers macro-level alternatives (e.g., combinations of new construction,
renovation, and leasing).
Chooses a preferred alternative, as well as "sub-alternatives" within the preferred
alternative (e.g., tenant mix or phasing options within a renovation project).
Identifies special requirements for foundations, structures, exteriors, electrical and
mechanical systems, fire protection and life safety systems, site work and landscaping
opportunities, and considerations for special construction and demolition, among other items.
