Scope
This policy applies to small construction projects, as defined in ss. 13.48(10) and (29), Wis. Stats., and the authority to submit such projects to the State Division of Facilities Development.
Purpose
State Building Commission policies permit the Board of Regents to submit certain reviewed and approved small projects directly to the State Division of Facilities Development for implementation rather than obtaining prior approval of the State Building Commission. This policy delegates that authority to the UW System President.
Policy Statement
The Board of Regents delegates its authority to the UW System President to submit reviewed and approved small project requests, as defined in ss. 13.48(10) and (29), Wis. Stats., directly to the Division of Facilities Development for implementation.
Requests submitted to the Division of Facilities Development under this policy shall not exceed the dollar-amount authority delegated to the Secretary of the State Building Commission, per applicable sections(s) of the Wisconsin Statutes and the State Building Commission Policy Manual, for the administration of small project requests.
Oversight, Roles, and Responsibilities
The UW System President is responsible for complying with all statutory requirements, as well as State Building Commission and Division of Facilities Development policies. The President may further delegate authority and responsibility for implementation of this policy to UW System offices and institutions.
The UW System Office of Capital Planning and Budget is responsible for communicating to UW institutions any changes in the definition of small projects under ss. 13.48(10) and (29), Wis. Stats.
