Does a PD-02 Exception Letter allow a project to be awarded?
A1. PD-02 exception letters provide a mechanism to request authorization allowing a project to proceed to bid advertisement given some incomplete PS&E submittal requirement(s). The exception letter must list all outstanding items and include for each item: o a resolution plan, o the expected resolution date, o the responsible person for each outstanding item. By default, approved PD-02 exceptions letters are assumed to authorize projects to proceed to advertisement only. Projects will not be allowed to proceed to bid opening, project award, or issuance of a Notice to Proceed unless explicitly requested in the exception letter and approved by the Deputy Director. In all cases, the Office of Pre-Letting (OPL) QA staff has been tasked to track identified outstanding PD-02 issues by periodically querying the PL/CPM/LAL regarding the status of the resolution plan(s). The project PL/CPM/LAL carries the responsibility to confirm to the OPL QA staff that all the listed issues have been resolve
