Can a Notice to Proceed (NTP) with construction be issued with outstanding PD-02 Exception Letter issue(s)?
A2. PD-02 exception letters routinely request authorization to proceed to bid advertisement and bid opening given some incomplete PD-02 required items. This request must list the outstanding items and include a resolution plan for each of them. Most often PD-02 exception letters only request permission to proceed with advertisement and are silent regarding the question of proceeding with contract award. In the latter cases, the Office of Pre-Letting QA staff has been tasked to follow the outstanding PD-02 issues by periodically querying the PL/CPM/LAL regarding the status of the resolution plan. When the PL/CPM/LAL has confirmed that all the listed issues have been resolved, the ODOT Procurement Office Construction Contracting Unit can be so advised and will then proceed with contract award.
