This authority includes signing related documents as necessary, except those grants, contracts, or related documents which:

contain provisions falling within the restrictions and limitations set forth in Standing Order 100.4(dd); and/or
would result in amendments to the Capital Improvement Program beyond the authority delegated to Chancellors.

Preparing extramural support proposals for constructing facilities, accepting or executing construction grants or contracts, and reporting these actions shall be in accordance with the relevant provisions of the UC Facilities Manual.

When the construction of facilities is part of a grant or contract for research, scholarly, or professional instruction, or related public-service programs, it shall be subject to the terms of the delegation to Chancellors (UC DA 2036, attached).

This authority is to be exercised by the Vice Chancellor Finance, Budget and Capital Programs when the construction to be undertaken will amount to a major capital improvement project. This authority is to be exercised by the Administrative Vice Chancellor when the construction to be undertaken will amount to a minor capital improvement project or a major capital improvement project for which project management responsibility has been specifically assigned to the Administrative Vice Chancellor

This delegation is being reissued to reflect an organization change and no substantive changes have been made to the delegation being superseded. Any redelegation shall be in writing with a copy to me and those listed below.
