Guidelines for VSBA-led funding allocations
The information in this section applies to schools with rolling facilities evaluation (RFE) projects in circumstances where:
- shelter-in-place works are required
- there are defects requiring a specialist trade investigation
- the school has a poor condition rating (that is, the school has an overall condition rating less than 3.25) or
- the nominal project value is greater than or equal to $50,000.
This section also applies to schools with non-RFE projects.
This section also applies to schools that request their school-led project to be led by the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA).
Schools will be assigned a dedicated VSBA project officer as their point of contact who will work with the school throughout the entire delivery process.
The VSBA completes VSBA-led projects in 2 broad stages:
- Report and estimate (R&E): the VSBA engages a principal design consultant (PDC) to prepare a detailed scope of works based on the results of the condition assessment report (milestones 1 and 2)
- Works delivery: the VSBA engages a contractor to deliver the scope of works on site (milestones 3 and 4)
The process for a VSBA-led project is detailed below.
