WHAT is new?

new or amended federal and/or state funded A&E consultant contracts must

be accepted by Caltrans prior to contract award.

• Procedure and timeline for the A&E 10-C Compliance Action Plan (10-C

CAP) were established and effective October 1, 2017. Any consultant

contracts are to be compliant or funding may be withdrawn.
