These parties include, but are not limited to, the Department of General Services' staff and their qualified plan review firms, and community college districts and their design professionals.

Those timeframe goals shall reflect the project's estimated construction cost, complexity, size, and other requirements of the collaborative process for project development and review.
(d) The Department of General Services shall establish model statewide timeframe goals, in consultation with community college districts and other relevant parties, by February 1, 2007.
