The rules for setting the Regional Categories are:
A change has been made to the Set Line Item Indicators functionality to prevent the Estimate status from being reset back to Pending Generate when a new Function Code Assignment is made. If an existing Function Code assignment is changed, the Estimate status will continue to be reset back to Pending Generate.
HiCAMS has been modified to add separate Name, Street, and City/State fields for the Escrow Agent address. Previously, the information was strung together in one field.
County codes have been updated to reflect the new values implemented by BSIP.
Function Codes have been added to all existing Line Items. The following are the Active Function Codes that can be assigned to any newly created Line Items:
The Contractor field now displays the Vendor ID rather than the DS Vendor Number in front of the Contractor's Name. The DS Vendor Number has been phased out and is no longer assigned to new Contractors.
The calculation of the Interest Due Date has been added to the completion Tab. This calculation is based on the relationship between the Latest Document Received Date, the Contractor Notification Date, and the Acceptance Date, and is defined in Section 109-11 of the Standard Specifications.
Due to a change in policy, HiCAMS will set the contract Retainage to 0% on federally funded contracts that are passed from Design Services to HiCAMS on or after the August letting date (August 15, 2000). The percent retainage is displayed on the Financials tab.
Sort order on the History tab displays the most recent action first.
On the Staff tab, clicking on the Staff icon, then clicking on the Cancel button, no longer causes the the Project Engineer name to disappear.
The Staff dropdown is no longer available in this window. Instead, click the Staff icon to select a staff person.
The Availability Date appears on the Dates tab.
The fields on the Status and Date tabs are now updated by estimate processing. These fields have always existed but were not updated prior to Version 4. Entering and Approving Subcontracts updates the Actual Participation field on the Goals tab.
HiCAMS now provides the CCU the ability to update the Execution Date on the Dates tab after a contract is authorized.
The Primary Work Order Number (Work Order) is displayed on the Generaltab.
The Resident Engineer Office can update the Estimate End Day after the contract is activated.
Personnel with appropriate security can reassign the Resident Engineer located on the Stafftab if the contract is in a Pre-HiCAMS Active status.
When the Resident Engineer on a contract is changed to another Resident Engineer in a different office, the current Project Engineer on the contract will be unassigned.
When the Contractor Defaulted Date is entered, a company to assume the contract must be specified. The choices include: valid Prime Contractors (except current Contractor), valid Bonding Companies, or specify “Other” and enter the name of a third party. The system defaults the Bonding Company. This information appears on the estimate report and can be updated on the Financials tab throughout the life of the contract.
The Contract Type specified during Authorization now appears on the General tab.
Data from the Review Contract Details window is now displayed on the Construction Progress and Location Report on the Internet. Entering an Acceptance Date removes the Contract from the listing.
Expired Resident Engineer names appear instead of a number.
The Work Start Date cannot be set to blank once a pay record, ticket, or estimate is entered for a contract.
You cannot enter an Acceptance Date that is prior to the Execution Date.
