Impact, Lessons Learned & Stewardship

Impact of BLIP

• Strong community engagement and ownership
• Significant support of small and local business and local hire through BLIP
• LEED Silver or Gold standards for 10 BLIP projects

• Invest more resources to front-end planning phase for more accurate scoping
• Conduct contractor outreach to maximize competition
• Indentify pre-qualified contractors for construction services
• Engage construction experts early in during design phase for constructability review
• Ensure continuing education training for all on anticipated code changes including ADA,

LEED, cost estimating & scheduling Resource Stewardship

• Branch Post Occupancy Analysis and Investments
