Any project subcontracts need to be approved by the DNREC Project Manager prior to being signed (executed). This review is to ensure that the scope of services, budget, and schedule coincide with the overall contractual agreement between DNREC and the project sponsor, the subcontractor is registered with the Secretary of State, and that the subcontractor is not suspended from doing business with the State. DNREC does not perform a legal review of project subcontracts.
