Added: Mar 21, 2012 7:40 pm Modified: Mar 29, 2012 12:27 pmTrack Changes Before the USFS can proceed with a capital improvement project, it must go through a Preliminary Project Analysis (PPA)[USFS process of space planning]. The PPA is the preliminary step in the facility management process that reviews all viable project alternatives and provides recommendations for further specific project development action.

The analysis is a screening and analytical evaluation process that enables managers to select the best alternative for a major facilities change. A PPA must be completed before the Government can proceed with construction of new facilities or lease, exchange, addition, renovation, purchase, alternate use, or disposal of existing facilities.

4. Past performance on contracts with both Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules;
