BUDGET PREPARATION AND ENACTMENT TIMETABLE - 6814
The following 6814 Illustration will help departments plan their capital outlay budget work. To meet statutory budget time frames, departments must submit requests for major and minor capital outlay projects in late July/early August, 11 months prior to the budget year for which funding is requested. Finance will publish a Budget Letter each year with more detailed instructions and due dates. Late requests will be accepted only if Finance has previously approved a late submittal. Departments within agencies must have agency concurrence for their proposals, prior to submittal. Submission dates indicated are when documents are due to Finance.
References to the Department of General Services in the following table also apply to any department which is authorized to act as its own project manager. Due dates on the chart are approximate; actual dates are set by Budget Letter.
