When technical studies (Investigation and Report) have been conducted, they
should be used as input to the preparation of the FR.
As defined in the NPMS Directive for Real Property Projects, in some cases, a
separate FR is not required as the IAR contains a sufficient feasibility assessment.

Needs.

5. The feasible options that will be analyzed need to be developed and their
estimated duration must be determined. The feasible options must also
include indicative (Class D) cost estimates for construction, leasing, and fit
up. This will help establishing life-cycle costs in the next phase (within the
IAR). The project duration could include the following NPMS and project
milestones:
SoR approval date
PPP approval date
FR approval date
Preliminary Project Approval (PPA) or Lease Project Approval
(LPA) date
Request for Information date
Request for Qualification date
Request for Proposal date
Effective Project Approval (EPA) date
Negotiations commencement date
Lease Contract Authority (Lease Contract Award date)
Base Building construction start date
Fit-up design commencement date
Fit-up construction commencement date
Product Turn-over date
Moving commencement date
Indicative estimates could be provided for:
Fit-up cost
Base building construction cost
Net rental rates
Operating & Maintenance cost
Taxes
Land cost
The main features of each option should be summarized in text or tabular
form with supporting details in an appendix (e.g. Cost Report Template). It
is important to identify the key assumptions made and the level of risk
associated with the estimates provided. Of note, the indicative cost
estimates should only be provided for the feasible options. However, the
milestone list is required for all the options assessed in the Feasibility
Report as it will be used to determine if each option is responsive to
identified timing requirement (please see section 4.2).
6. Ensure that the options reflect the requirements of PWGSCs Sustainable
Development Strategy.
4.2 Analysis of Non-Financial Factors
The analysis of non-financial factors is intended to ensure that all qualitative
factors that contribute to providing value to the federal government are taken
into account in the investment analysis.
Suggested Content:
Provide the following information for each of the possible options:
3. Describe the results of the analysis, including the rationale behind the
ratings and weighting factors that were applied, and the conclusions that
were reached. Details of the analysis may be included as an appendix.
4.3 Risk Assessment of Options
The purpose of this section is to identify the key risk factors associated with
each of the options being considered in this Feasibility Report.
NOTE: A more substantive risk assessment will be conducted for the IAR. For
the Feasibility Report, identify the results of the preliminary risk assessment
of each option in terms of scope, time, cost or other considerations
surrounding the problem/opportunity such as environment, infrastructure,
technical, political, legal, organizational and / or social factors. The latter
considerations may be derived from assumptions and constraints discussed
in the Preliminary Project Plan, and will pertain to the project being able to
attain the project objectives
1. The first step is to identify the risk factors that could be relevant for each
of the options being analysed.
2. While the relevant risk factors will be different for each investment
situation, some risk factors that may be considered include:
Risk that the project may not fully rectify an identified problem
Risk of user needs not being met
Risk of changing requirements
Risk that forecast demand fails to develop
Evaluate the overall level of risk associated with each option. This can
be done using an evaluation matrix. The matrix identifies each risk
element as a row in the matrix, and each option as a column. Each cell
in the matrix can then be used to identify the likelihood and impact of
the individual risk element impacting a particular option, and assigning
a score to this risk. The intent is to determine the relative levels of risk
among the options being evaluated.
Example of Evaluation Matrix for Risk Assessment
Risk Option 1 Option 2 Option 3
Factor Risk Scor Risk Score Risk Score
e
Factor 1 High 5 Medium 2 Medium 2
Factor 2 Medium 2 Low 1 Medium 2
Factor 3 Low 1 Very Low 0 Low 1
Factor 4 Very Low 0 High 5 Low 1
Factor 5 Medium 2 High 5 Low 1
Total Score 10 13 7
4. Describe the results of the risk assessment and the conclusions that were
reached. Which option carries the lowest level of risk? Do any of the
options carry an unacceptably high level of risk? The risk assessment will
be used to develop a Risk Management Plan in the IAR for the
recommended options.
Tips on writing this section:
The results of the feasibility assessment should be presented in tables (rather
than in text), with observations and conclusions discussed in the text, where
possible. It is recommended to obtain guidance on this section from the
respective Centers of Expertise. It is important to identify the key
assumptions made.
