____________________________________________________________________________
Board policy 8065 has been revised as follows:
1. To allow Task Force for Building Renewal funds to be received by the colleges for
identified Task Force projects with approval by the Chancellor. This revision will in no
way exempt the project from any other Board policy requirement, but is intended to
improve project timelines.
2. To allow colleges to contract for engineering and architectural services up to fifty-five
thousand dollars ($55,000). Professional services contracts in excess of $55,000 will
require Board approval. The revised approval limit is now consistent with professional
services contract limits identified by the DAS Building Division.
3. To allow Chancellor to review and approve change orders determined to be critical to the
progress of a project in amounts over $20,000 and not in excess of $60,000. Requests
for changes in excess of $60,000 require Board approval.
Attached is a copy of Policy 8065 with the proposed changes.
