PURPOSE
2. In short, there are four categories of project items under the Capital
Works Programme (CWP), namely, Category A, Category B, Category C and
Category D.
Note
The purpose of the TFS is to establish the technical feasibility on a prima facie basis,
define the scope of works, and provide a rough cost estimate and the cash flow
requirements. Works departments are expected to compile a TFS within four months upon
receipt of PDS and normally without recourse to external consultancy. TFS is not
required for projects which are themselves studies (e.g. EIA and site investigation) or
renovation works.

9. The PWSC meets roughly once or twice a month, except for the
holiday breaks and the period when the Special FC sessions on the annual Budget
are held. In October each year, we present to PWSC a forecast of the projects
planned to be upgraded to Category A in the forthcoming LegCo session. This
facilitates the relevant policy bureaux and LegCo panels to coordinate the timing
for consulting the panels on the funding proposals before submission to PWSC.

Introduction
This note sets out an overview of the administrative and planning procedures
for implementation of capital works projects, for the information of PWSC members.
2. With the recent implementation of the following measures, the lead time from
inception to commencement of construction of a typical engineering and building
project has been shortened from six years to less than four years -

The updated flow charts incorporating the above changes for a typical engineering and
building project are attached.

3. The flow chart in Enclosure 1 illustrates the main activities involved in the
delivery of a medium size typical engineering project.
5. Once included in the Capital Works Programme, the project enters into the
Preliminary Design Stage for developing the preliminary technical details of the project
and undertaking various impact assessments, including Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA), Traffic Impact Assessment, and Drainage Impact Assessment. For
projects not sensitive in environmental impacts terms gazetting under statutory
ordinances could be carried out in parallel with EIA and procedures under EIAO.
6. After the preliminary technical details have been affirmed and the procedures of
EIAO completed, the project will move onto the Detailed Design Stage for preparing the
design details and tender documents for the works contracts, with the procedures under
relevant statutory ordinances and land resumption proceeding in tandem.
7. Funding application will also be made in parallel with the detailed design so
that construction on site will commence after completing the tendering procedures.

years after inception and the superstructure works will commence after the completion
of the foundation.
