Work Opportunities
Campus development and maintenance projects create work opportunities for design and consulting professionals as well as general and specialty contractors. New construction and major renovations are implemented under the Major and Minor Capital Outlay programs administered by Facilities Planning, Design & Construction.
SDSU Facilities Planning, Design & Construction has CSU-delegated authority to manage Major and Minor Capital Outlay projects including major renovations. The distinction between Major and Minor projects is based on total project cost (greater / less than $400,000) and results in different prequalification and bidding methods.

Selection
A&E Project Design Professional selection follows CSU prescribed evaluation criteria and experience-based fit of the firm to the project and this campus. In cases where a design specialty is required, the campus may issue a Request For Qualification defining the specific project parameters. For Design/Build projects, the campus may issue a Request For Proposal to qualified teams. SDSU typically advertises in the San Diego Daily Transcript, the San Diego Union Tribune and other trade publications.
Construction contract bids are solicited through public advertisement. Bid prospects may be anticipated by reviewing the CSU Major Capital Outlay Program that lists capital project funding requests for coming years (see Staff Directory). Planned and funded local projects also appear on this Web site under Construction Project Summaries.
