| dc.description.abstract | The UTMDACC (University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center) will realize net savings of $1.6 million in five years by utilizing the PCPF-E SBU (Patient Care and Prevention Facilities – Design & Construction; Engineering Strategic Business Unit) to provide 27,400 man-hours of professional engineering services from FY (Fiscal Year) 2011 to FY 2015. PCPF-E SBU will provide best value to clients by offering schedule, information, and cost advantages over existing rivals.
In FY 2008, the PCPF-DC (Patient Care and Prevention Facilities – Design & Construction) department paid $500,000 and $1,300,000, in professional service fees, to external engineering consulting firms and external architectural consulting firms respectively. This represented approximately 3,800 man-hours of professional services from external engineering consulting firms.
The PCPF-E SBU forecasts providing 1828 man-hours of professional services in FY 2011, 3656 man-hours of professional services in FY 2012, and 7312 man-hours from FY 2013 through FY 2015.
The short term objectives for PCPF-E SBU are to compete as a low cost provider to increase market share in the existing MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing) services market for UTMDACC projects currently assigned to the PCPF-PM (Patient Care and Prevention Facilities – Design & Construction; Project Management) group and the OVP (Office of the Vice President) department.
The long term objectives are to compete as a best value provider for professional engineering services in the existing UTMDACC MEP services market. PCPF-E SBU will recommend solutions that optimize operations of the facility infrastructure from a system-wide perspective by capturing and utilizing data that exists within the current institution operations. | |
