About this file

This document is a guideline for the contents and format of Preliminary Architectural Reports required for state and local construction projects. The report outlines a comprehensive framework for planning and evaluating potential facility projects, requiring applicants to provide detailed analysis across multiple sections including executive summary, introduction, background conditions, evaluation of alternatives, and proposed project description. The submission must include a preliminary site plan showing ingress-egress, vehicle circulation, parking facilities, utility extensions, and emergency access; a preliminary floor plan with all dimensions and room labels; descriptions of existing and proposed facilities; and identification of applicable design standards. Additionally, applicants must evaluate at least three alternative solutions such as new construction, renovation, or additions to existing structures, including cost estimates for each option and assessment of site selection criteria, infrastructure adequacy, soil conditions, and impacts on existing residents and property owners.

The detailed project budget section requires itemized construction and material costs, design and oversight fees, grant administration expenses, identification of funding sources, and projected operating revenues and expenses where applicable. Applicants must avoid presenting costs on a per-square-footage basis. A project schedule must be included, and all reports require an original architect's signature and architectural stamp; submissions lacking these required features may result in point deductions for feasibility. The guideline emphasizes comprehensive infrastructure evaluation including water, fire protection, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage systems, as well as detailed consideration of downstream impacts and required permits for the proposed project.
