Any new scope of work submitted less than 12 weeks from the possession is considered late. Project Managers must seek formal approval by both their Deputy Executive Director (DED) and the DED, Asset Management Division in accordance with; Late Scope Request Process – AMD-ASD-GUI-002.
If the additional scope is approved by both DEDs the scope will be accepted in PACT
Any request for new scope of work after the Finalisation Meeting (which is held 4 weeks prior to the possession date) will not be accepted unless it is designated as “urgent2 work”. The request to carry out urgent work is assessed by the NAM. At this late stage, the impact to other scopes may be severe and may require the setting of priorities between scopes. Acceptance or rejection of “urgent work” is processed under the DED Approval process.
The impact, including Service Planning’s ability to amend and redistribute STNs will be conveyed to the respective DEDs in their consideration for approval of the scope inclusion.
The NAM and Program Coordinator also identifies and notifies relevant people on the impact the new scope has on combined worksites.
