Volume 5: Bidding and Construction Administration
This chapter identifies required bidding documents and their contents. It clarifies review and approval responsibilities before bid solicitation.
This chapter covers prerequisites for bidding, including funding authorization and legal readiness to support that projects are properly approved before solicitation.
This chapter defines criteria for determining whether bidders are responsible and qualified. It protects the University from performance and compliance risks.

This chapter discusses the administration of the construction contract during the construction phase of a project.
This chapter addresses the administration of and responsibility for activities at the job site. These activities include observation, inspection, testing, and surveying during the construction process. Also discussed are progress meetings, other meetings, and the responsibility for safety in the field.
Contract modifications are changes in the work required during construction. This chapter discusses the means of accomplishing these changes through two methods: Field Order and Change Orders. Guidelines for approving substantial change orders and granting time extensions are also given.
The dictionary defines "monitoring" as (1) checking systematically or scrutinizing for the purpose of collecting specified categories of data, and (2) keeping watch over; supervising. The above meanings apply to project monitoring of University construction projects. The extent of needed project monitoring is determined by the Facility. Except for the contract schedule, which is monitored by the University's Representative, project monitoring is mainly performed by the Project Manager.
The Facility is responsible for making prompt payments to the contractor for work performed. This chapter discusses payments from application by the contractor to actual payment by the Facility after consideration of retention, stop notices, and liquidated damages.
The General Conditions provide procedures for resolving contractor disputes. The University's Representative is required to review change order requests and render a decision on the request. Mediation or litigation may follow this decision. Continuous negotiation is required throughout the dispute process.
This chapter addresses procedures to follow when the University wishes to occupy or use part of the work before it is completed (Beneficial Occupancy), or when the contractor requests to be relieved of certain responsibilities because the work is mostly completed (Substantial Completion)
The University standard contract documents have been developed to provide University Facilities with necessary forms, data, and procedures to complete a project. This chapter reviews the procedures required to complete the construction project.
This chapter addresses procedures required by the Facility that extend beyond the requirements of the construction contract.
This chapter sets forth requirements and procedures for establishing the construction phase portion of a Project Quality Management Program. Quality requirements for construction projects are established first by The Regents, next by the President, and then by the Facilities. Quality is measured by conformance to requirements established by facilities management personnel. Project quality is ultimately appraised by the Facility client.
