Supersedes: UCLA DA 800.22 (Appointment of Design Professionals) to Directors Johnson, Markham and Sisneros, dated 11/2/2009.

Effective as of the date above, I hereby delegate to you, in your respective areas of responsibility, the authority to appoint executive architects, executive landscape architects, executive and consulting engineers, and other professionals and consultants (design professionals) for projects with approved budgets, or such other projects for which you may be specifically assigned project management responsibilities by Capital Programs, with total individual project cost not exceeding $2,000,000 for Director Markham, and $1,000,000 for Director Sisneros. Following approval at the appropriate level, you are further authorized to execute necessary design professionals agreements (including professional services agreements) regardless of project cost.

This authority shall be exercised in accordance with the requirements of Reference (b), above, and is applicable to all projects with approved budgets on property owned by The Regents or on property which will be owned by The Regents upon completion of the project. Total individual project cost shall be defined as all costs of the project including administrative, design, construction, interest accrued during construction, and equipment costs.

All agreements must be approved as to legal form by the General Counsel prior to execution unless the agreement is in a form previously approved by that office and is issued without revision.

This delegation is being issued due to an organization change. The individual project cost limit for Director Markham has increased from $1 million to $2 million. There are no other substantive changes to the delegation being superseded. This authority may not be further redelegated.
