Typically, Divisions 0 and/or 1 of the specifications that contain the "rules" of how the facility will be constructed.

Final Project Proposal (FPP)
The FPP establishes the project justification, final scope and estimated costs for all acquisition, infrastructure, facility and systems projects. Due to the state no later than February 1st.

Group I - Fixed Equipment
Equipment that is securely attached to the facility, functions as part of the building, is real property rather than personal property and once installed, loses its identity as a separate unit.

Group II - Movable Equipment
Equipment that can be moved from one location to another without significantly changing the functioning of the facility.

Initial Project Proposal (IPP)

Labor Compliance Program
In order to obtain state funds from Proposition 47 (Approved November, 2002) a district must meet requirements of AB 1506 that requires a Labor Compliance Program that ensures contractors and vendors are paying workers the prevailing wage rates.
