BACKGROUND:
SIMM 19 E: Project Delegation Request (PDR):
The Project Approval Lifecycle (PAL) is divided into four stages, with approval required for each stage. Each stage consists of a set of prescribed, cross-functional, and parallel activities to develop deliverables used as the inputs for the next stage. The PDR instructions describe how an Agency/state entity may request an exemption from reporting the results of up to three stages of the PAL (Stage 2 Alternatives Analysis, Stage 3 Solution Development and/or Stage 4 Project Readiness and Approval) to the CDT. CDT requires agencies/state entities to submit accessible documents to support the California’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
