CDB REVIEW CHECKLIST Date

Program Analysis (PA) Phase submittal Project Number

Design Development (DD) Phase submittal CDB PM
A/E Representative

These checklists have been prepared to provide clarity and instruction to A/E’s in the preparation of the PA/DD submittal(s).
They are intended to clarify the requirements stipulated in CDB’s Design and Construction Manual (DCM), and neither alter
nor eliminate the requirements set forth in the DCM or in the Professional Services Agreement. CDB recognizes that unique
challenges and solutions are inherent in each project. Therefore these requirements should be addressed by the A/E only as
applicable to each project and scope of work. Submittals which combine the PA and DD phases should include all applicable
requirements for each phase.
