Section 100. Construction documents

A. The sponsor shall submit construction documents to the department as defined in the CPSM and required by approved department procedures.. The construction documents shall include 100% complete working drawings, 100% complete specifications, and all required review approvals from local building, health, and fire officials.

B. The construction documents shall be reviewed by the department for compliance with applicable statutes, regulations, and any guidance documents incorporated herein, and for incorporation of all changes required by the department at the preliminary document review stage. This review in no way releases the sponsor from other applicable responsibilities and requirements.

1. If the department requires changes to the construction documents, all such required changes shall be communicated in writing to the sponsor.

2. The sponsor shall respond in writing to the department to all comments received from the department in the construction document review. All issues detailed in these writings shall be resolved before the project is advanced to the bidding phase.

C. When all review comments have been addressed and resolved, the department shall approve the construction documents and advise the sponsor in writing, as required in approved department procedures, that the project may progress to the bidding phase (referred to as the "bid documents phase" in the CPSM).
