MANUAL FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF CPM PHASING
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
June 2005
1.
GENERAL:
1.1 Develop the CPM phasing to comply with this criteria, and the
current edition of VA Construction Standards, VA Handbooks, and VA
Master Specifications.
PHASING NARRATIVE (Sample A attached): Provide a written narrative to
2.
outline phasing requirements and sequence. All areas of the project
shall be identified as part of a phase. Each phase description shall
include constraints particular to that phase, what other phases must
precede it, and any VA moves which must precede the start of the phase
or phases. If equipment and other removable items require storage and
relocation by the Government, these requirements shall be listed in the
phasing narrative. Special phasing constraints which may be common to
the project should be listed at the end of the narrative and not within
each individual phase description.

PHASING PLANS:
3.1 Individual Phases: Outline and label individual phases on all the
submitted schematics and first design development plans including site,
architectural, structural, HVAC, plumbing, sanitary, steam, and
electrical drawings. NOTE: outline phases on the submitted full size
drawings. Prepare a separate set of phasing plans (Sample B of phasing
drawings is attached).
3.2 Engineering Systems:
Design so that, upon completion of a
particular phase, the entire area covered by that phase can be occupied
by the VA personnel with all systems functioning properly.
3.3 Temporary System: The design may be such that a temporary system
is necessary, which will be changed to a permanent system at some later
point in the project. This temporary system must be satisfactory to
provide proper functional and environmental conditions within the
occupied space or the facility until the final system can be installed
without major interruption of service. The A/E's submission shall
highlight in writing (by technical discipline) for each phase all
solutions including temporary solution(s) required to accommodate the
phasing plan while keeping all systems functioning properly.
3.4 Phasing Diagram: An arrow diagram that shows the sequence and
dependency of phases within the project.
