Contracting
BPM projects are let in CMCS under Segment 78 like a routine
maintenance contract using "BPS" as the project class. MNT transfers
BPM funds to the district's Strategy 144 budget after letting. MNT
approval is required prior to contract award for any project that
has a low bid greater than 20 percent of the estimate shown on the
approved projects list. Districts have signature authority for change
orders. Upon request by the district, change orders may be funded
with program under-runs if available and with MNT approval.
