Bulletins Overview
AKA Item of Change.
Bulletins are issued when changes occur that affect the project drawings and specifications after the detail design is complete and a contract is awarded for the project. To communicate these changes out to the field, a bulletin is issued (typically by the lead design consultant) with specific information pertaining to the change and distributed to the contractor. Changes to the contract drawings may be a result of:
● RFIs
● Owner’s request
● Value engineering
● Recognition of error/omission
● Reviewing agency request
● Changed conditions
● Request for substitution
The bulletin is issued as one of the following types:
● Supplemental Instruction (SI) – document change does not change the contract sum or the contract time;
● Proposal Request (PR) – document changes needed or desired, which involve a substantial change to the contract sum or contract time;
● Construction Change Directive (CCD) – a written order directing a change in the work and stating a proposed basis for adjusting the contract sum or contract time. Issuance of a CCD orders changes in the work within the general scope of the contract, consisting of additions, deletions, or other revisions. The contract sum and contract time are adjusted accordingly, without invalidating the contract.
Info Exchange support
Bulletins can be reviewed and sent electronically through email or Info Exchange. From Info Exchange, external project team members can do the following:
● Answer bulletins that were forwarded to them for a review.
● Manage open bulletins assigned to them using the My Bulletin Actions log.
● Download associated files and view them using the Newforma Web Viewer.
● Reference supplemental instructions and other related items that were sent in the bulletin.
● Internal (Project Center) project team members can review and track bulletins using the full Bulletins log in Info Exchange, enabling them to track the bulletin process via Info Exchange.
Your ability to view all bulletins depends on your permission set assignment.
