King County WTD – Project Formulation Program
Description
The objective is to improve the cost estimates at the project development stage. Its primary intent is to reduce the difference between initial and finished actual project cost and schedule information through the improved understanding of costs and schedule impacts prior to project approval.
The scopes of existing potential projects (also known as Needs) will be refined to create accurate conceptual cost estimates and schedules using WTD Basis of Estimate tool. A Business Case Report will be developed for each need in close coordination with WTD. The Project Formulation Program team will recommend to WTD Management projects to be approved as well as what priority it should have in the larger budget ranking process.
