Consultants & Contractors

At California State University San Marcos, the rapid growth of our campus offers the unique opportunity for design and consulting professionals as well as general and specialty contractors to be a part of our campus development.  Our projects are funded through Major and Minor Capital Outlay programs managed by the Planning, Design and Construction department. 

Major Capital Outlay Projects:  projects greater than $656,000 in cost and are funded through a variety of sources: State Appropriations, Donor Funds, Tuition Fees, etc.  The Planning, Design and Construction department submits an annual report, the Capital Outlay Budget Change Proposal (COBCP), to the Chancellor's Office that publishes the campuses five year capital project budget plan.

Minor Capital Outlay Projects:  projects less than $656,000 in cost and are funded through the Minor Capital Outlay program that is managed through the California State University Office of the Chancellor.
