V. Project Size and Scope
It shall be the policy of the University of Virginia that the implementation
of capital projects shall be carried out so that the project as completed is
the project authorized by the General Assembly. The President or his
designee shall insure strict adherence to this requirement.
Accordingly, no Medical Center capital project shall be materially increased
in size or materially changed in scope beyond the plans and justifications
which were the basis for the project's appropriation, either before or
during construction, unless: (i) the President or his designee determines
that such increase in size or change in scope is necessary due to an
emergency and the Governor concurs in such determination, or (ii) the
General Assembly approves such increase or change in a subsequent
appropriation.
Similarly, no University capital project other than a Medical Center capital
project shall be materially increased in size or materially changed in scope
beyond the plans and justifications which were the basis for the project's
appropriation, either before or during
construction, unless: (i)
such increase in size or change in scope is required because of
circumstances determined by the Governor to be an emergency, or (ii) the
General Assembly approves such increase or change in a subsequent
appropriations. Minor increases in square footage shall be permissible if
they are determined by the Director of the Department of General Services to
be reasonable based on a written justification submitted by the University
stating the necessity for the increases, with the condition that such
increases would not increase the cost of the project beyond the amount
appropriated.
