VI. Project Cost

(a) It shall be the policy of the University of Virginia that capital projects be completed for an amount which is less than or equal to the sum appropriated therefore by the General Assembly. The President or his designee shall ensure strict compliance with this requirement. The President or his designee shall make appropriate periodic reports to the Board of Visitors on the status of projects.

(b) The President or his designee is authorized to include in the project management system implemented

pursuant to Section III of this policy authorization for designated University officials to approve construction contract change orders and to approve professional services contract change orders.

(c) Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this policy regarding change orders and material increases in size or material changes in scope, the President may propose and the Board of Visitors may approve a transfer of funds during any fiscal year in order to supplement funds appropriated for any Medical Center capital project, provided that:


  • (i) the transferred funds are transferred from a non-general fund appropriation for the Medical Center; and

  • (ii) the project to which the funds are transferred is a Medical Center non-general fund capital project authorized by the General Assembly; and

  • (iii) the amount transferred does not exceed 15% of the sum appropriated for the Medical Center project to which the funds are transferred unless the Board of Visitors determines that special circumstances necessitate

    the transfer of an amount in excess of 15% of that sum in which case the amount transferred shall not exceed the limitations set forth in § 23-77.4(1)(a)(iii) of the Code of Virginia; and

  • (iv) the Board of Visitors finds that the transfer is necessary to effectuate the intention of the General Assembly in making the original appropriation for the Medical Center project or projects in question.

Should it become necessary for the President or his designee to seek a transfer of funds to supplement amounts appropriated for a University capital project other than a Medical Center capital project, the procedures set forth in the Appropriation Act shall be utilized.
