			A contractor asked me if we can get the Producer Supplier List form changed so that the text wraps. I don't know how she typed on it, though. I couldn't.

	This paragraph in EPG 108 about Subletting seems to contradict itself. Am I misunderstanding it? Can the amount on the C-220 be more than what is in the Contractor's bid summission for any Individual DBE?		This paragraph in EPG 108 about Subletting seems to contradict itself. Am I misunderstanding it? Can the amount on the C-220 be more than what is in the Contractor's bid summission for any Individual DBE?

			[[USER:smithk\|Keith L. Smith:]] Thank you for your observation. Construction and Materials' response:

			:EPG 108 is addressing two different things here -- the contractor's DBE commitment and the actual Request to Subcontract Form C-220.

			:For a DBE, the Subcontract amount indicated on the C-220 must be greater than or equal to the DBE Subcontract amount submitted by the Contractor with the Contractor’s bid submission prior to Award and the subcontractor must be the same listed. A contractor may submit DBE commitments with the bid or within 3 days of the letting. the above sentence is saying the prime cannot put a smaller dollar amount on the Request to Subcontract Form C-220 that what was submitted as the commitment (either with the bid or within the 3 day period).

			:For a DBE, the Subcontract amount indicated on the C-220 cannot be more than the Contractor’s bid for the line item. This sentence states the dollar amount entered on the C-220 for a line item cannot be greater that the contractor's bid amount for the line item.

	I do have a suggestion. We could use clarification of the Construction Manual/EPG for the change order approval rules in ~~Section~~ 137.2. Here is the excerpt from the EPG Section 137.2 for a Major Change Order: "5. Any change in a major item greater than 25%. 6. Any change of a contract amount greater than 25%."

	It would be clearer if it said percentage of what number. For example, is #5 saying "any change in a major item greater than 25% of the line item or is it 25% of the original contract's Total Dollar Amount for the entire project. It would be helpful to many, I think because this reads as being a little vague in my view.		It would be clearer if it said percentage of what number.

			[[USER:smithk\|Keith L. Smith:]] Thank you for your observation. Construction and Materials' response:
			:Tricia is technically correct in that the details of the example change order do not, in every way, match the criteria in that section of that EPG article. It is a question of degree of compliance of the details included. The example change order does show the general layout of the change order with regard to header details, items, amounts, signature lines, etc. Inversely, the contractor, contractor ID, contract number, formatting and specific location of signatures lines, and some other minute details of the example do not match the current change order report, or are just plain fake. Whereas the user has no control over these details and can only run the report provided by HQ, I think the intent of the example is simply an instantaneous recognition of a particular change order type (such as district (which has three signature lines) versus district + FHWA (which has four signature lines.)).

			The section of the EPG in 109.12 that explains a District Level Change Order has an example change order. The example doesn't seem to fit the criteria below as worded in the EPG. None of the new contingency items are over $50,000. No item was changed over $50,000 on the example. It is a $9 million project. Is the example a correct one?

			Non-major change orders (Change Order level 2) requiring approval by the district office with FHWA approval if required are:

			1. Final change orders for contract leveling course projects.
			2. Any change in a contract item or contingency item from $50,000 to $100,000.
			3. Any new contingency item from $50,000 to $100,000.
			4. Any final change order not meeting "major change order" criteria.
			5. When none of the "major change order" criteria apply.
			Examples of both a District Change Order Report and District and FHWA Change Order Report are available.
