The following information explains how to submit all of the PS&E project documents to Design Division:

Contract Proposal - ​How to Build a Proposal with the CMCS B13 Program

• Building a proposal in Miramo should be one of the last steps prior to PS&E Submittal to DES.

• Projects should be completely sealed in Connect prior to building a proposal.
  

• We recommend running a ROSCOE speclist and estimate report to review for errors and omissions prior to building a proposal - How to Create PDF reports of estimates and speclists in ROSCOE

• General Notes 8.5x11 PDF file must be copied to the appropriate directory in Miramo prior to building a proposal - \\txdot4avbpsetc\miramo\LIBRARY\NOTES\

• The proposal does not need to be submitted to DES. DES-FPP staff have access to all directories in Miramo and can review the latest proposals.

Submitting LSM requests earlier is preferred, due to processing time taking 1-2 days.
