Adding a Contract Project

A contract inherits all of the projects that were part of the proposal from which it was transitioned. At the contract stage, these are called contract projects. As the work on a contract progresses, the agency sometimes determines that additional work not originally estimated in the proposal, but which logically would be part of the current contract must be performed. In these circumstances, a new contract project is added to the contract to manage the new work.

The system will automatically calculate these amounts over the lifecycle of the project when child items are added or updated.

When you are finished adding information, click the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm the new contract project was saved in the database.
