Quad Chart Instructions

• The quad chart format will be used to validate
  all work orders. The unit or agency is
  responsible for completing this chart with the
  best information available. The quad chart will
  be a one page document basically following the
  format provided by the DPW.
• The upper left quad is self explanatory for the
  information elements required. The scope of work
  should be in sufficient detail as to ensure
  proper work classification (repair, maintenance,
  and new work), intended end state or product, and
  specific location of the work. The requirement/
  justification should also be included in this
  block (i.e., mission driver, laws, regulations,
  etc.).
• The Alternatives block will explain in bullet
  form what other options are available to get this
  work done or what work arounds might be
  available. The impacts to mission should also be
  addressed like cost, time, manpower and
  resources. Bullets need to be succinct and
  informative.
• The lower left block will explain the costs/risk
  for the project. Cost should be an estimate the
  DPW facility manager can assist the unit to
  determine. The risk should compliment what was
  described in the alternative block. In the risk
  analysis the cost of potential future repairs or
  maintenance need to be estimated if the work is
  not performed. Pros/cons should succinctly lay
  out a comparison of the alternatives available.
  If environmental considerations need to be
  factored in the decision, then they need to be
  outlined in this block.
• The lower right block is not to just rubber stamp
  the need for the project but to recommend when
  and how the best alternative should be
  implemented. It is presumed the project is
  desired thus the completion of the quad chart.
  What is being recommended is the priority of the
  project, the funding source and when it needs to
  be done. The risk management portion should
  outline what needs to be done to maintain current
  state if the project is not approved and what
  measures will be needed in the future. The risks
  identified earlier should be addressed
