Red Flag Summary (MS Word Version)

Red Flag Summary

Purpose The purpose of this Red Flag Summary is to identify concerns that could cause revisions to the following:  Anticipated environmental, design and construction scope of work  Proposed project development schedule  Estimated project budget  Potential impacts of the project on the surrounding area

Instructions  A written Red Flag Summary is required for both major and minor projects. A written Red Flag Summary is optional for minimal projects; though red flag issues must still be identified.  A field review is required for all projects. Each specialty area of the Red Flag Summary should be completed by individuals who possess sufficient experience to enable them to correctly identify and evaluate issues arising from the field review.  In the Location/Comments field provide information concerning potential impacts that is brief, but gives enough detail to allow an understanding of the issue(s).  The scope of services document should account for any issues identified in the Red Flag Summary that have the potential to affect scope, schedule, and budget.  A list of resources that may need to be consulted in order to complete this form can be found in the introduction to Appendix H of the Project Development Process Manual.

Red Flag Summary Deliverables Provide an expanded Study Area Map identifying project design and environmental constraints identified through the Red Flag Summary. Tables, photographs or other support material may also be submitted with the Red Flag Summary to illustrate specific problem areas. (This information is mandatory for Major Projects.)
