Where and how do I get drawings related to City facilities?
The Capital Program Office maintains a library of project documents on
site at the One Parkway Building specifically for the use of City
agencies or approved consultants. Our drawings cover a time span of
about 100 years, and a broad range of project scopes. They include
construction documents and/or as-builts. These drawings often serve as
starting points for current projects and help us to plan future
projects. We share them with our design consultants whenever appropriate
to expedite their survey work and help them understand the history of
the building. Access to drawings of facilities is restricted for
security reasons. If you need documents for a City Project, please contact
your CPO Project Coordinator.
You may be charged for the cost of the prints you request, at the rate
of $1.50 per 24" x 36" sheet unless you are currently working on the
facility for the Capital Program Office. The check should be made out to
"City of Philadelphia" and must be for the exact amount.

How do I get paid?
In order to get paid, your contract must be fully conformed. Review the
appropriate invoicing instructions below, and ensure that all
requirements have been met before contacting the Capital Program Office.
For All Design Consultants:
Once the design consultant's initial fee and billing breakdown is
submitted on the Consulting Services Payment Requisition and approved by
the Capital Program Office, progress payments may commence. When a phase
or percentage of a phase is complete, the design consultant is to update
the "Percent Complete" column and the "Amount Due" column on the invoice
form. The consultant should assure that the project number, the contract
number and the requisition number are correct. The consultant is to sign
the form and make one copy.
When submitting the requisition for payment, the ORIGINAL and one copy
are to be sent to the Project Coordinator at One Parkway Building, 1515
Arch Street, 11th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19102.
For All Contractors:
Once the contractor has submitted a Standard Cost Breakdown Form and the
items, percentages and costs are approved by the design consultant and
the Capital Program Office, progress payments will commence. The initial
submission is to be delivered to the Capital Program Project Coordinator
assigned to the project.
When a phase or percentage of a phase is complete, the contractor is to
update the "Previous Billing" column, "Percent Complete" column, and the
"Total Complete" column. The contractor should assure that the project
number, contract number, and the requisition number on the Standard Cost
Breakdown Form are correct. The contractor should sign the breakdown and
make one copy.
When submitting the requisition for payment, the ORIGINAL and one copy
are to be sent to the Project Coordinator at One Parkway Building, 1515
Arch Street, 11th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19102 or delivered to the
Contracts Engineer at the bi-weekly construction meetings.

How do I fulfill MBEC requirements?
RFPs for Design Professional Services and Bids for Public Works include
any required MBEC ranges relevant to the projects. Consultants and contractors are encouraged to contact MBEC for a list of MBEC certified firms that can be subcontracted | |

How does the City's
annual Capital Budget process work?
Under the guidance of
the Capital Program Office (CPO), the City begins to assemble its annual
capital program request in the fall. Known as "Budget Call," this
process leads to a complete list of requested capital improvements
(including estimated costs for design and construction) to systems, facilities and infrastructure for city agencies. Subsequently, representatives of the CPO
and the using agencies present their requests to the Philadelphia City
Planning Commission (PCPC). The PCPC together with Budget Office and Managing Director's Office, review this list, assesses and
balances the needs of the different agencies, and modifies the list to
reflect the anticipated size of that year's bond issue for the Capital
Budget. The final budget is issued to the Mayor by the end of winter for his
review, adjustment and approval. The Mayor then presents it to City
Council. City Council reviews, modifies and approves the final Capital
Budget and Program. When it is approved by City Council in the Spring and subsequency signed by the mayor it is made into
law in the form of an ordinance. When
the Capital Budget and Program become law and the corresponding loan and authorization is also approved by city council, the mayor and the voters, the CPO may issue
RFPs for the projects that were approved.
