What to Provide

The decision ahead

State the acquisition, plan, application, approval, project-reset, or implementation decision and any real deadline.

The record available

Identify nonconfidential document types, current plans, approvals, studies, or other records already assembled.

The coordination need

Describe the workstreams, agency questions, professional inputs, dependencies, or follow-through that need a shared structure.

What Happens Next

1
Initial fit review
CDA reviews the nonconfidential submission for project fit, decision context, and the likely coordination scope.
2
Scope conversation
If the matter may fit, the conversation clarifies objectives, available records, roles, timing, boundaries, and a possible scope.
3
Engagement, if agreed
Work begins only under a separate written agreement. Submission does not create an engagement, reserve a deadline, or establish confidentiality.

California-Focused Guidance

Development decisions can connect jurisdictional review, entitlement strategy, environmental planning, public-report work, design coordination, and implementation. A clear workplan helps the project team keep those dependencies visible.
