Submit a SPICE Proposal

If applicable, proposal budgets must include rough estimates provided by Information Technology & Institutional Planning (IT&IP) and/or Academic Resources and Planning as appropriate. For example, if a proposal calls for computer equipment installation, IT&IP must provide a rough estimate of the total cost of equipment, plus installation. If the room where the computer equipment will be installed requires additional electrical outlets, proposers should contact Andrew Naranjo, Capital Projects Specialist in Academic Affairs.

• For estimates from IT&IP, please submit a “Make a Request” help ticket and put "SPICE Funding - Technical Review" in the short description box.
• For assistance with scoping out the infrastructure requirements and advice on potential costs, please contact Andrew Naranjo at amnaranjo@cpp.edu and include in the subject line that it is a SPICE estimate. If you are proposing the purchase of equipment, please provide vendor specifications for the equipment you intend to purchase.
• To include the estimates in your proposal, upload PDFs of the estimate documents as attachments to your proposal.

Any proposal requiring infrastructure additions/alterations, cosmetic or physical improvements to a room or teaching facility must have approval from the Dean of the College, and are subject to applicable California building code, fire/life/safety, and permit requirements. The project must consider, and the budget must include, any infrastructure needs such as electrical, ventilation, plumbing, and space clearances (including height). It is highly recommended that interested faculty submit their request for estimates as soon as possible and allow ample time (4-6 weeks) for the estimates.
