Contract and Project Management and Supervision

(1) The Office of the Comptroller may provide detail contract and project management and supervision to projects performed pursuant to contingency contracts. (2) The Comptroller may also delegate in writing the authority and responsibility for contract and project management and supervision to any other signatory to a contingency contract. This delegation may not be made to an entity that is not a state department and not a signatory to the contingency contract. Criteria to be used by the Comptroller to delegate contract management and supervision include but are not limited to: (a) efficiency of operations, (b) complexity of program and policy implications, and (c) encouragement of interdepartmental cooperation. (3) Any department performing contract and project management and supervision will provide progress and status reports in a form and at intervals as specified by the Comptroller. These specifications may be tailored by the Comptroller to suit the requirements of individual contingency contracts. Non-performance by a department of the specified requirements for such reporting will be grounds for the Comptroller to revoke the delegation of contract and project management and supervision. If this circumstance arises, the Comptroller may delegate responsibility to another signatory to the contract or assume the responsibility directly to the Comptroller's Office. The Comptroller shall determine satisfactory performance and such determination shall be conclusive.
