Construction Items

Description

This screen is part of the Contractor Services subsystem and provides part of the Construction Items functionality. Construction items reflect the awarded contractor's bid price from the schedule of prices net of any changes to quantity or price via work orders; any items added or deleted via approved work orders are also shown on the list. The list of Construction Items also displays the 'current quantity', which includes changes to the original quantity based on approved Work Orders. Hyperlinks on the screen allow the user to navigate to the Construction Item detail screen for the specified item, to the Fund Description screen for the fund code to which the item is linked, or to the special provision that is linked to the item.

The Construction Items list can be accessed from a variety of links within the Work Orders and Estimates screens, as well as from the Go links on the My Projects page. The Construction Items are not available until after bids for the project have been opened.
