ARTICLE 24 - PREVAILING WAGES
Unless UC notifies Supplier that the Services are not subject to prevailing wage requirements, Supplier will comply, and will ensure that all sub-suppliers comply, with California prevailing wage provisions, including but not limited to those set forth in Labor Code sections 1770, 1771, 1771.1, 1772, 1773, 1773.1, 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, and 1777.6. For purposes of the Agreement, the term “sub-supplier” means a person or firm, of all tiers, that has a contract with Supplier or with a sub-supplier to provide a portion of the Services. The term subsupplier will not include suppliers, manufacturers, or distributors. Specifically, and not by way of limitation, if apprenticable occupations are involved in providing the Services, Supplier will be responsible for ensuring that Supplier and any sub-suppliers comply with Labor Code Section 1777.5. Supplier and sub-supplier may not provide the Services unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5 and 1771.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Supplier will be solely responsible for tracking and ensuring proper payment of prevailing wages regardless if Services are partially or wholly subject to prevailing wage requirements. In every instance, Supplier will pay not less than the UC Fair Wage (defined as $13 per hour as of 10/1/15, $14 per hour as of 10/1/16, and $15 per hour as of 10/1/17) for Services being performed at a UC Location (defined as any location owned or leased by UC).
The California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) has ascertained the general prevailing per diem wage rates in the locality in which the Services are to be provided for each craft, classification, or type of worker required to provide the Services. A copy of the general prevailing per diem wage rates will be on file at each UC Location’s procurement office, and will be made available to any interested party upon request. Supplier will post at any job site:
A. Notice of the general prevailing per diem wage rates, and B. Any other notices required by DIR rule or regulation.
By this reference, such notices are made part of the Agreement. Supplier will pay not less than the prevailing wage rates, as specified in the schedule and any amendments thereto, to all workers employed by Supplier in providing the Services. Supplier will cause all subcontracts to include the provision that all sub-suppliers will pay not less than the prevailing rates to all workers employed by such subsuppliers in providing the Services. The Services are subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. Supplier will forfeit, as a penalty, not more than $200 for each calendar day or portion thereof for each worker that is paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the DIR for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any portion of the Services provided by Supplier or any sub-supplier. The amount of this penalty will be determined pursuant to applicable law. Such forfeiture amounts may be deducted from the amounts due under the Agreement. If there are insufficient funds remaining in the amounts due under the Agreement, Supplier will be liable for any outstanding amount remaining due. Supplier will also pay to any worker who was paid less than the prevailing wage rate for the work or craft for which the worker was employed for any portion of the Services, for each day, or portion thereof, for which the worker was paid less than the specified prevailing per diem wage rate, an amount equal to the difference between the specified prevailing per diem wage rate and the amount which was paid to the worker.

Background Information
Gordian’s Facility Planning solutions were first provided by a strategic consulting firm, Sightlines, founded in 2000 with the mission of enabling organizations to better manage their facilities operations and capital investments using objective data analytics and expertise. In 2015, Sightlines was acquired by Gordian to deliver a full life cycle of construction and facilities management services. Gordian’s Planning services assess the current conditions of an organizations facilities, analyze the operational performance of those facilities, and benchmark every aspect of their operation against peers in order to make reliable, data- driven decisions that support the overall strategy of the organization.
Gordian has delivered Planning solutions to more than 450 organizations across North America and stewards the largest verified database (representing more than 1.5 billion gross square feet) of Higher Ed, Healthcare, and Community facilities information. Gordian’s experience in construction procurement and cost estimating through RSMeans data provides access to hundreds of planning, design, procurement, construction and operations experts.
Our third-party independent perspective is key to our success. Since our core business is the measurement and strategic assessment of facilities assets, we help drive new policies that create change and improve facilities operations. Gordian professionals’ experience within both the facilities and financial arenas provides member organizations with solutions that are realistic, quantifiable, and financially obtainable.
Our analysis remains rigorous and completely objective.
Gordian proposes to include our Planning services in response to this RFP in order to make these services available to both University campuses, as well as Omni members through the adoption of this contract by Omnia.

Gordian’s Planning service offerings include:
Sightlines Return on Physical Assets (ROPA): Physical facilities represent the largest investment most organizations will make. Most see buildings as a depreciating asset and look to avoid expenditures unless absolutely necessary rather than treat them as real investments and seek a strong return.
ROPA provides the data, contextual understanding and strategic recommendations needed to steward facilities most effectively. Gordian partners with organizations to develop an analytical framework and dialogue with stakeholders that aligns space, capital and operational needs. This objective analysis of performance provides facilities and finance administrators with the context and validation needed to evaluate investment tradeoffs and helps ensure facilities best serve the community.
Sightlines Strategic Capital Planning: In today’s facilities environment, there is always going to be more capital need than available funding. So how does an organization decide which projects to fund and which to defer? To answer the question, many organizations conduct a facilities condition assessment (FCA) to understand the magnitude of the problem. Although often successful at establishing the funding shortfall and level of deficiencies, these studies rarely result in the actionable plans and campus-wide support for the capital strategy that is needed to address the core issues that leaders face.
Strategic Capital Planning takes the FCA to the next level utilizing engineering professionals and data analysts who do more than merely assemble a list of needs. Gordian works hand in hand with the facilities managers and other key stakeholders to engage across the organization or community to design capital plans that marry technical needs with strategic vision and financial capacity. Using our Building Portfolio process, Gordian takes an overwhelming backlog and guides decision making so organizations can improve their facilities and slow the ongoing rate of project deferral.

Sightlines Space Utilization: Colleges and universities are under more pressure than ever to use campus spaces to their full potential. Finding common ground with stakeholders can be difficult in the face of demands to decrease costs, respond to changing enrollment and fairly evaluate space ownership.
Using advanced data analytics and a thorough assessment of teaching spaces, Sightlines Space Utilization offers the tools that will help separate fact from fiction around space usage, optimize the use of existing assets to avoid unnecessary costs and provide a foundation for strategic campus growth. Tailored recommendations empower administrators to make more informed decisions, negotiate around both shared and owned spaces and produce results that satisfy all campus stakeholders.
Sightlines Sustainability Solutions: Being an effective steward of your facilities is one thing. Acting as a good steward of the environment requires a different set of tools entirely.
Gordian provides campus sustainability professionals with Benchmarking and Reporting tools that ease the time-consuming burden of continuous data collection and reporting. This opens up more time for pursuing their true mission: advocating and implementing campus policies that minimize impact on the planet. Whether the goal is to measure carbon footprint, fulfill STARS, Carbon Commitment, Sierra Club and/or Princeton Review reporting requirements, Gordian has a sustainability solution that can help.

Deliverables
Over 50% of the organizations we work with have us presenting directly to their Board of Trustees or senior leadership to make the case for facilities stewardship. Our third-party perspective gives us the ability to effectively remove subjectivity and make credible recommendations that speak to the concerns of all stakeholders and help you reach the best outcomes for your organization. Our success tells us that effective deliverables must be understandable from the boiler room to the boardroom. Therefore, strategic and technical information must be integrated to ensure policy initiatives can be easily translated into tactical actions for implementation at all levels of the organization. During our initial year, Gordian will provide three presentations as deliverables:
A data qualification meeting as part of the QVQ process Preliminary presentation that shares initial findings and strategic recommendations with leadership
Presentation of findings developed in conjunction with the member to deliver a focused, simplified story to an executive or board-level audience In addition, after the findings are delivered the Gordian team stays engaged across the rest of the year to provide additional analysis and support, as well as explore with your team ways of driving the gained knowledge into actionable plans and offer an added perspective with actions at other organizations.
Subsequent years feature two presentations: a qualification and a final. Presentations are trustee quality and encourage key organizational personnel to participate in the final deliverable presentation.

Greenville, SC 29615

In addition to presentation deliverables, key organizational personnel receive access to the Gordian’s Member Portal, an online platform that provides quick access to facilities data, the ability to run comparative reports among all other Gordian Members and read access to reports and deliverables.
Project Schedule
Below is a typical schedule for the initial year of our ROPA service. Gordian takes you from data to discovery in 15-18 weeks depending on organizational schedules, facilities staff availability, data complexity and presentation milestones.

Sightlines Strategic Capital Planning
Executive Summary
The purpose of this document is to put forth a proposal for strategic analysis of facility needs and financial investment priorities through our Sightlines Strategic Capital Planning service. The goal of this service is to go beyond the traditional facilities condition assessment (FCA) and help your organization develop an actionable, long-term capital plan that aligns with strategic vision and financial realities to ensure each dollar is allocated to the highest priorities.
Our work with over 350 communities, institutions, and districts annually gives us unparalleled perspective on facilities stewardship strategies. It is this perspective that allows us to firmly state capital planning is more than just a project list. Rather than simply “picking projects” from technical condition data, we will help you create a multi-year investment plan that aligns facilities and strategic priorities and engages decision-makers in a conversation about vision and financial realities.
By taking a different, more strategic and portfolio-based approach to managing your capital needs, Strategic Capital Planning is the comprehensive solution you need to make your facilities renewal more manageable and align project selection with strategic goals to achieve optimal investment outcomes.
Scope of Work
Gordian has developed a series of tools that will assist your community, institution or district in defining a multi-year investment plan instead of simply picking projects. The Strategic Capital Planning solution brings the concepts of financial investment and portfolio-based wealth management to the facilities

world, treating each building and grounds feature as an investment-worthy asset rather than a financial liability. This strategic focus allows decision-makers to target investments that reflect your mission and vision and ensure each dollar is allocated to the highest priority.
Unlike traditional facilities assessments that lead to disjointed project selection, our process builds transparency and constituency by engaging all levels of the organization from the boiler room to the board room. A focus on defined outcomes and total organizational engagement builds confidence in the process and the anticipated results.
Gordian’s Strategic Capital Planning solution optimizes your limited resources by integrating the facilities organization, mission and vision, and the finance office. To this end, there is a focus on flexibility in both the process and the tools to ensure the development of an actionable plan:
Step 1 — Establish a Baseline. Our flexible baselining process allows for you to choose the approach that fits best for each physical asset so that you only allocate precious resources where they are most necessary:
a. Detailed Assessment – For facilities which need a fine-tooth comb we will conduct an in-person condition assessment of the facility.
b. Existing Data Migration – Because resources are precious, we want to help you put existing data to work rather than reinvent the wheel.
c. Core Systems Assessment –A fully-remote approach leverages the power and insights that exist in Gordian’s cost and facilities databases (RSMeans, Gordian Planning, and Gordian JOC) to assess building needs at a system-level (Uniformat Level 3).
Because all three baseline approaches result in Uniformat codifications and are compared using RSMeans pricing, we are able to create a consistent and apples-to-apples inventory of facilities needs across your portfolio of physical assets.

Step 2 — Integrate Operational Perspectives. We harness the latent knowledge that exists within your organization by conducting interviews with facilities managers, frontline trades staff and other key stakeholders to validate our baseline data and ensure it is consistent with operational insight. This step helps us acquire operator input regarding the necessary repairs, priority, and timeframe, resulting in a more accurate list of facilities needs. Additionally, this step creates a sense of ownership with those ultimately responsible for the work and leads to an outcome with buy-in at every level of the community, institution, or district. Step 3 — Create Building Portfolios. We will use your leadership’s goals and objectives to strategically segment your buildings into a portfolio of assets with similar functions, priorities, or other factor unique to you. Not all buildings are created equal, and our Building Portfolios process allows us to define areas of emphasis and provides a rationale for facilities funding distribution.
This segmentation helps you form unique investment strategies and performance metrics that engage key stakeholders in a conversation about facilities and financial priorities and mission to accelerate decision-making.
Step 4 — Develop Multi-year Capital Plan. With portfolios in place, Gordian supports resource allocation discussions and the creation of a capital investment plan. By adding an understanding of historical spending profiles, we can create outcome-based strategies that balance asset preservation with program adaptation in various financial scenarios to ensure practicality of results.
Step 5 — Ongoing Project Selection. Project selection is a combination of art and science.
Gordian’s objective prioritization tools allow leadership to create and manage investment strategies that tie technical issues to vision and finance. Because they are objective, these tools help minimize the number of politically-motivated decisions and allow facilities leaders to create constituency and manage change. By providing access and training for our Gordian Cloud portal, we provide the team the ability manage the list independent of us, ensuring the priorities remain in focus for project selection.
Capital planning should not be a one-time exercise. Our solution is designed to integrate with your current planning systems: first by maintaining a live database so you can engage senior leadership as

organizational activity demands, and then by tracking performance to targets, which builds credibility for future appropriations.
The Process
Step 1: Establish a Baseline
Far too often, leaders start a strategic process by fixating on individual details without fully understanding their significance to the total result. By streamlining the path to a prioritized plan, we help you avoid putting effort and finances into extraneous details which are not critical to the organizational future.
Phase 1: Creation of Baseline Inventory
The first step in our process is to select a baseline approach that optimizes the relationship between cost and detail, keeping in mind that more detail comes with a higher financial cost and a longer lead time.
Our flexible baseline methodology allows you to target high-priority buildings with Detailed Assessments, put old data back to work with an Existing data Migration, and reduce overall costs without sacrificing accuracy by choosing a Core Systems Assessment. For more detail on what each baseline approach has to offer, see below:
a. Detailed Assessment – For facilities which need a fine-tooth comb we will conduct an in-person condition assessment of the facility. During this assessment we will:
i. inventory components at a granular level (Uniformat Level 5), confirming location, quantity, and renewal need
ii. conduct a visual inspection adhering to ASTM 2018-15 condition assessment standards iii. identify each deficiency it’s cause and recommended remedial action iv. Create preliminary estimates of cost of replacement and/or remediation v. Take and compile photographs to document critical deficiencies as appropriate
30 Patewood Drive
Greenville, SC 29615
855.467.9444
gordian.com 18
b. Existing Data Migration – Because resources are precious, we want to help you put existing data to work rather than reinvent the wheel. If you have an existing assessment for a facility which still contains relevant, trustworthy data, allow us to migrate the data into our system so that it can be viewed in alongside other facilities in a comprehensive needs inventory and can make use of the strategic tools discussed later in the process.
c. Core Systems Assessment – For facility which do not require a detailed approach, but where accuracy of information is critical, this fully-remote approach leverages the power and insights that exist in Gordian’s cost and facilities databases (RS Means, Gordian Planning, and Gordian JOC) to assess building needs at a system-level (Uniformat Level 3). This approach uses database cost- models, existing maintenance data, and user experiences to focus on the 20 most critical systems in each building which comprise over 95% of the identifiable needs within a facility. The system- level cost models are then customized for each unique facility to accurately reflect the specific needs of that physical asset.
Once the selection of the baseline approach is complete, the next step is to assemble the inventory through building assessments, data migrations, and cost-model creation. The resulting inventory is stored in Gordian Cloud’s secure platform, which leads us to phase 2.
Phase 2: Introduction and Setup on Gordian Cloud
To ensure the continued accuracy of the assessment data, Gordian makes our information accessible to you through our online platform, Gordian Cloud. This web-based platform will be the central repository for all detailed assessments, migrated data, cost models, and strategic tools as they are created. An introduction to this platform will begin during the baselining stage but will continue throughout the partnership with Gordian, as sustained engagement on the platform will be critical to the longevity and sustainment of the project results. Formal training on the usage of Gordian Cloud will be delivered after the conclusion of Step 4.

Greenville, SC 29615
855.467.9444
gordian.com 19
Step 2: Integrate Operational Perspectives
To harness the vast amount of latent knowledge held by your supervision and trades staff, Gordian will conduct interviews with facilities managers and other knowledgeable individuals. We find these interviews invaluable to:
Confirm and adjust assumptions in the Core Systems and Detailed Assessments Confirm building and system alignment with operational objectives and direction. Validate life cycle and pricing estimates.
Build operator confidence in the process, project recommendations and overall findings.
Supervisor interviews are an iterative process requiring equal involvement of your organization and Gordian staff. The time commitment required of organizational staff can vary, ranging from a few hours to a couple days. Because this stage runs through Gordian Cloud, these interviews can happen on-site or remotely through a web-meeting at your request.
Step 3: Customize Strategy Tools
Successful long-term planning requires more than a technical baseline. Gordian uses an array of strategic concepts as tools to tie facilities projects to the mission and vision of leadership and to define a framework for reinvestment funding. The primary strategic and functional prioritization tools are outlined below though others may be added as necessary to ensure a robust toolkit.

Greenville, SC 29615
855.467.9444
gordian.com 20
Building Portfolios
Organizing buildings into a portfolio of assets provides the means to reflect existing priorities and future aspirations. The Building Portfolio structures are often strategic, functional, geographic or a locally appropriate combination of these attributes which best highlight areas of emphasis or funding distribution across your community, institution, or district. This structure accelerates focus onto sequencing of future investments. Leadership can then target investments toward one portfolio over another or across portfolios as appropriate to best reflect your organizational goals and objectives. Projects can now happen in a transparently predictable fashion.
Project Category
The classification of a project helps to differentiate between a “want” versus a “need.” Gordian uses “Repair & Maintenance” where replacement is done in-kind and at end of life; an example would be replacing a roof when it begins to leak. “Modernization” is used to describe an improvement or an addition; common examples of modernization work would be the addition of an elevator in a building or the upgrade from a two-pipe heating system to a four-pipe heating and cooling system. “New Construction” needs are also clarified using Project Category to indicate that they too serve a different purpose than Repair & Maintenance or Modernization by adding to the facilities inventory.
Project Package
After codifying each project to a building or architectural system, Gordian assigns each project to a broader project package. Planning at a higher level, project integration (e.g. window replacements and brick pointing together) creates efficiencies among previously isolated projects. Typical packages are Building Envelope, Building System, Infrastructure, Space Renewal and Safety/Code.
30 Patewood Drive
Greenville, SC 29615
855.467.9444
gordian.com 21
Timeframe
Our experiences have taught us that the sequencing of work is essential to aligning financing to successful project execution. Multi-year investment time frames (immediate investment needs, 1-3 years, 4-7 years, 8-10 years, etc.) establish useful investment horizons based on age, condition and can be clearly communicated to leadership and decision makers without committing to individual project years.
Investment Criteria
Additionally, Gordian uses Investment Criteria to help decision-makers understand the importance or impact of a project. Each project is assigned to one of five Investment Criteria:
Reliability: Issues of imminent failure or compromise to the system that may result in interruption to use of the space.
Asset Preservation: Projects that preserve or enhance the integrity of building systems, building structure or local infrastructure.
Safety/Code: Code compliance issues and safety priorities or items that are not in conformance with current codes, even though the system is “grandfathered in” and exempt from current code.
Program Improvement: Projects that improve the functionality of space, primarily driven by facility occupants. These projects also address local impact and image needs. Economic Opportunity: Projects that result in a reduction of annual operating costs or capital savings.

gordian.com 22
Step 4: Develop a Multi-Year Capital Plan
The goal of the facility planning process is defining a plan that is credible, affordable and actionable. To accomplish this, Gordian engages leadership in an exercise that explores how the backlog came to exist, ties needs to vision and investment drivers, and develops multi-year funding plans based on strategy- driven outcomes for specific groups of buildings. Successful facilities plans deliver a capital program that will manage the rate of backlog accumulation, guide future investment decisions and ensure the effective use of gains made by capital infusions.
Background
As facilities budgets continue to be stretched and strained, leaders are faced with difficult decisions. It’s not reasonable, or even fiscally responsible, to reduce the facilities backlog to zero, so the key is to define the backlog threshold that effectively manages facility risk. Gordian is not only able to communicate the size of the need, but we will explain how this need came to exist. An analysis of historical annual stewardship, capital investment and maintenance deferral will help outline where the organization has been to assure forward strategy will not repeat previous actions.
Frame the Outcome
We find that grouping projects within the five Investment Criteria categories outlined above is instructional in defining investment priorities. The process ties the raw project data to mission and objectives, effectively making the case for facilities funding through a balance of planned vision and physical plant needs. This analysis can be communicated to and understood by all constituents in the community, institution or district, in terms that are important to them.
30 Patewood Drive
Greenville, SC 29615
855.467.9444
gordian.com 23
Gordian uses Net Asset Value (NAV) as one important tool to help define outcomes by portfolio.
Calculated as the replacement value less the total needs for the building divided by the replacement value, it represents the “percent good” remaining in the building. Equipped with NAV data by portfolio (and by building), Gordian will work with the key stakeholders and senior leadership to establish acceptable condition levels by portfolio.
A variety of methods are utilized to
organize decisions made with the tools.
One example to the right brings the
Building Portfolio, Timeframe, and
Investment Criteria together in a
decision-making form to aid in setting
investment priorities so leaders can
move to the project selection phase of
the process.
Step 5: Project Selection
With an investment plan by Portfolio established, the process of deciding which projects to accomplish and in what sequence can commence. This is an iterative process guided by the multi-year plan.
Understanding that annual priorities shift and impact project selection, these decision tools become an integral part of the planning and prioritization process moving forward for your organization.
30 Patewood Drive
Greenville, SC 29615
855.467.9444
gordian.com 24
Project selection is a combination of art and science. Technical issues of priority and reliability dictate the science. Occupancy, funding and the political environment guide the art.
Gordian will work with the community, institution, or district to assign a custom scoring methodology to rank projects within buildings where a Detailed Assessment was conducted or those facilities which otherwise have component-level detail. Creating an effective array of project scoring factors will increase both the transparency and effectiveness in the project selection process.
Each project receives a score based on the overall condition of the building, the importance of investment criteria and timeframe. Scores are customized to fit the specific needs of your organization.
For example, an entity that wishes to stress fire protection and ADA compliance, Safety/Code projects can be given a higher score relative to others. A sample scoring scheme is shown here.
In this example, projects will be
considered more urgent if they are
imminent issues within critical
systems in high-need buildings.
Gordian will work with leadership to
help guide toward the most effective
and impactful set of project scoring
factors for your organization. Our
process includes tools that breaks
ties for mid-range priorities.

Sightlines Space Utilization
Scope of Work
Gordian has provided information on our Sightlines Space Utilization solution, and is uniquely qualified to offer actionable space management recommendations to your leadership. The four primary components of Gordian Space Utilization Solution are:
Field inspection of each classroom and its components, including technology Coordinated effort to solicit feedback from students and faculty Assessment of classroom and position utilization
Review of institutional scheduling policy
The service proposed combines academic space profiling, classroom and lab utilization assessment, and facility condition and modernization assessments into a single effort to guide space planning.
There is one imperative in managing college & university facilities — programs change over time.
Teaching methods constantly evolve, instead the living and learning environment seldom keeps pace. We have seen new spaces require renovation just after building occupancy to respond to the change in program needs over the timeframe of building design through construction. Such rapid functional obsolescence creates great pressures upon capital budgets. Spaces “churn” well before their physical lifecycle while building envelopes and mechanical systems reach lifecycle expectations.
Although it is impossible to accurately forecast space changes five or more years in the future, there are methods to understand why spaces are functioning effectively or not. Gordian believes that an understanding of the utilization rates, the space use, and the instruction methods are key.

The Gordian approach uses three distinct data points to better contextualize the results of any utilization analysis.
1. Granular utilization data, broken down into 15-minute intervals by class and room, allows for better insights into utilization trends.
2. Condition, technology, and configuration data for each potential teaching spaces identifies the characteristics of the most and least popular rooms.
3. Focus group information adds in user opinions from faculty and students, the end users of the spaces.
This three-pronged approach not only gives insight into utilization levels, but gives the tools for the institutions to understand why the results are what they are and how best to approach future changes. In addition, our qualification of the data helps to ensure the data is accurate, that any scheduling nuances are addressed and communicated correctly to all institutional audiences.
While our methodology and approach is standardized, our recommendations and visual deliverables are flexible to allow for customized modeling, best supporting campus needs and the impact of future changes. Our clients have successfully overcome internal politics, to implement significant space management improvements. Gordian service offers both short-term and long-term recommendations, and facilitates the process of getting these recommendations approved. Our clients have successfully upgraded classrooms, in response to stakeholder feedback, centralized scheduling of department-held classrooms, and “found” space without having to build new.
The services proposed combines academic space profiling, classroom and lab utilization assessment, and facility condition and modernization assessments into a single effort to guide space planning.

Gordian suggests the following process to meet the objectives outlined in the RFP:
Step 1: Assemble the Core Data
We compile a data base of scheduled spaces, capacities, interior conditions and technology assets to understand the current state of your school’s spaces. Gordian will document all of the components in each room, how these components work effectively to support program, and how these components should be modernized in future capital investment plans. Documentation of existing space utilization both Assemble the Core Data

by room and position (chair) use. In addition, analysis the spread of existing space versus what is currently needed for class enrollments.
Gordian will:
Document Building size, configuration, and layout of space Utilize existing 2D (8½” x 11”) floor plans and CAD drawings create a database of room sizes, use, and assignment.
Quantify the academic spaces as to size, components and condition. Complete a detailed review of the classroom and lab schedules for four semesters. Identify the utilization of each room by comparing the schedule of room usage to the available times the room is available to be scheduled.
Classify the position utilization by quantifying the numbers of people in the class as compared to the room’s capacity.
Document the space condition and its success in supporting program (mediation, computer integration, seating, shading, etc.)
Step 2: Complete an Advanced Data Analysis
Once the data is gathered, we’ll provide you a detailed picture of classroom usage and scheduling trends and communicate the financial impact of those trends.
Step 3: Conduct Focus Groups
We give key stakeholders a seat at the table to provide input on space needs and conditions. Deans, faculty, and facilities staff – everyone has a voice because space utilization affects the entire campus experience. Gordian will solicit feedback from students and faculty to understand internal preferences and rationale for room use by asking questions on comfort (NSF per student), location and availability.
30 Patewood Drive
Greenville, SC 29615
855.467.9444
gordian.com 36
In addition, Gordian will review the institutional scheduling policy. In every campus there are idiosyncrasies in programs and between departments that over time incrementally fragment space scheduling and utilization. Some of these policies are intentional and some are not. Some of these policies are desirable and logical in support of campus program and some are not. Gordian will define these issues and support a discussion of these policy attributes, potential issues, and options for change.
Step 4: Provide Actionable Improvement Options
All the information in the world won’t matter without an action plan. We’ll deliver independent recommendations for improvement to help you reach the outcomes you desire for standards, space utilization efficiencies, and adaptive reuse of space
Space assessments often suggest the renovation and or the creation of new space. Gordian has also discovered that campuses can attain a more effective outcome by considering the re-use of a space for an alternative function. Building a new lab building and converting the old lab to housing for example is an adaptive reuse that reaches program goals for far less resources than building two new facilities.
The recommendation process is iterative between the Gordian team and the client. After all of the data is reviewed and verified, the Gordian team will hold a preliminary presentation to share the findings and highlight recommendations. After feedback Gordian will refine, if necessary, the draft survey to a final report.
Deliverables
Gordian deliverables are designed to effectively communicate findings to build constituency with the client. Gordian will conduct three presentations of the Space Utilization Solution onsite. The first will
30 Patewood Drive
Greenville, SC 29615

serve to qualify the data and initiate the scenario planning process. The second presentation will be a preliminary session given to those who participated in the effort to validate findings and identify questions with data collection and/or analysis. The final presentation can be given the appropriate audience.
The preliminary and final presentations will:
Correlate existing academic program review information with the existing classroom physical profile and utilization to define key attributes for successful teaching environments. Analyze the classroom needs based upon current program and provide models to forecast the impact of enrollment changes.
Analyze where capital efficiencies are obtained to meeting academic space needs — through renovation, additions, new construction, or adaptive reuse of space. Define order of magnitude capital and operating costs for investment options defined. Correlate changes in space to the institution’s wealth profile to indicate, over the long term, the implications of facility overhead to the current / forecast campus financial profile.

This vision should provide the ability to develop a future scenario, define the variances to the existing conditions, and detail the probable range of financial implications of the actions. Having implemented such tools for over one hundred institutions, Gordian has the experience and knowledge to assure success of implementation over the long term. Gordian takes great pride in understanding the institutional financial pressures and customizing solutions that are financially realistic, operationally sound, and sustainable over time.

Sightlines Campus Sustainability
Scope of Work
Gordian has been active in the higher education
sustainability community since 2007. Our collaboration
with Clean Air - Cool Planet led to the initial version of our service intended to help institutions satisfy the early requirements of Second Nature’s Climate Commitment.
Since then we have completed over 500 greenhouse gas
inventories and been a frequent contributor of content
to numerous green publications, conferences, and other
media.
Today, our Campus Sustainability solution is more than
just a greenhouse gas inventory. Gordian independently
validates sustainability performance and supports our
members as they create and expand their climate
programs. Working with our members, we make strategic recommendations to enhance environmental stewardship, connect sustainability to other campus investments, and help communicate plans to various constituencies on campus. Our solution provides institutions with accurate and verified information regarding their green programs as well as the ability to benchmark their performance with over 50 other member institutions through our Member Portal.
Gordian uses SiMAP (Sustainability Indicator Management & Analysis Platform), developed by the Sustainability Institute at the University of New Hampshire, to quantify and track greenhouse gas Our QVQ Process:
To ensure the highest level of quality
and consistency in our data collection,
we:
Collect data on site using our staff
Use standard templates to gather
valid comparative information
Create a five-year performance
trend for all data
Correlate performance metrics and
logical data relationships to
establish confidence
Qualify the data via presentation

emissions. This tool provides a credible and replicable base for measurement and comparison. When combined with Gordian proven data collection and qualification tools, SiMAP can assure consistency and comparability in measurement. Additionally, since it is the most accepted tool within higher education, Gordian’s Campus Sustainability solution supports clients as they fulfill the quantitative requirements of Second Nature’s Carbon Commitment and AASHE STARS, which recognize the SiMAP as their preferred methodology and baseline for measuring future greenhouse gas reductions.
Data Collection Process
The initial process performed at each institution involves the collection of five years of data (a historic review of four years plus the current year’s data) to allow evaluation of trends and to assure accuracy moving forward. Each year following, data collection is performed for the recently completed fiscal year.
All Gordian services are designed to convert a wealth of campus data to usable information and actionable knowledge.
Gordian uses its own staff to collect and validate base data from each institution. We do not rely on self-reported surveys or questionnaires. Our QVQ Process (Quantify, Verify, Qualify) is designed to achieve confidence and credibility in facilities and sustainability data. Since Gordian visits every campus and applies the QVQ Process consistently each year, members can “compare with confidence” now and into the future.

Gordian utilizes SiMAP to compile GHG inventories and to assure comparability among members. The calculator adheres to World Resources Institute Greenhouse Gas Protocol which puts forth a standard categorization of emissions. There are many gases that contribute to global warming. All emissions are expressed in units of carbon dioxide equivalents or MTCDE (metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents).
Regardless of the emission type, one MTCDE is equal to the global warming impact of one metric ton of carbon dioxide.
Gordian measures scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 emissions. Second Nature states that the GHG inventories for signatories must include a full accounting of scope 1 and scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 reporting is only required for commuting and directly financed air travel. Gordian makes every effort to account for emissions as thoroughly as possible and views this as a minimum requirement.
The following chart details the data required for Sustainability Solutions. Prior to on-site data collection, a web-based meeting will be scheduled to review the availability of data, confirm the timelines, and determine a presentation date.

Deliverables
As in any organizational or process assessment, the final deliverables are crucial to the successful implementation of recommendations. Gordian provides “trustee quality” deliverables which provide both summary and detail findings of Sustainability Solutions. We have found that effective deliverables must be understandable from the boardroom to the boiler room. Therefore, information is integrated to include both strategic and technical components. This integration helps assure that strategic policy initiatives can be easily translated to tactical actions for implementation at all levels of the organization.
Gordian provides the following deliverables:
PowerPoint presentation of the results delivered either on-site or via webinar; Gordian Member Portal which provides full access to all institutional environmental data and the ability to run comparative reports among all Gordian members.

Sustainability Reporting
Scope of Work
Gordian has been active in the higher education sustainability community since 2007. Our collaboration with Clean Air - Cool Planet led to the initial version of our service intended to help institutions satisfy the early requirements of Second Nature’s Climate Commitment. Since then we have completed over 500 greenhouse gas inventories and been a frequent contributor of content to numerous green publications, conferences, and other media.
Gordian now turns its data collection and analysis skills towards assisting institutions to participate in the AASHE STARS program. Gordian can facilitate collection of all data and report results related to the four STARS modules:
Operations – Credits reflecting the physical administration of the campus including greenhouse gas emissions, green constructions, food services, transportation, waste, etc.

Greenville, SC 29615

Academics – Credits that recognize institutions that have formal education programs, research programs and courses that address sustainability.
Engagement – A series of metrics that demonstrate the presence of sustainability related learning experiences outside of the classroom and for all members of the community and beyond. Administration & Planning – Credits related to the organizational structures that support sustainability, workplace programs and campus investment.
The completion of each module will rely on robust data collection paired with key stakeholder interviews to validate and clarify findings. Where data is not available for collection, Gordian will make recommendations to the institution regarding enhanced systems for future years.
Prior to beginning the reporting process, the institution is responsible for listing Gordian as “Data Entry” User within STARS Reporting Tool. The institution is also responsible for all costs associated with STARS Reporting access.

Important Data Note
Gordian will expire all reasonable efforts to collect each data piece (3 data requests via phone and/or email, followed by troubleshooting with key campus leaders) to overcome any data collection issues. Any data not provided in a timely manner, despite these systematic outreach efforts, will not be included in the Gordian analysis. Secondly, any institution may choose not to pursue a credit, for any reason. Once a decision is made not to pursue a credit, Gordian will cease all collection efforts related to that credit.
