The requested appropriation will reimburse the CIP Project Cost Recovery Fund for the actual cost of project management services provided by architects, engineers, project managers and administrators.  These employees provide labor and expertise to manage the design and construction of capital improvement projects and associated contracts.  Project management costs are derived from timesheets and salary rates, along with FY18 projections.
