Project Administration System
If administered properly, team management promotes consistency in managing projects across functions, mitigates risk to the organization and contract, and can decrease cost. Defining expectations across procurement and program management personnel is a critical component to project administration.
KDG has a project administration system to understand specific tasks and requirements, and assign responsibilities during each lifecycle phase. This system aids in project compliance. Knowing the specific tasks and responsibility within the organization is critical to success. Some of the key tasks by phase are as follows:
Pre-Construction Phase
- Perform the technical and reasonable price evaluation as part of the proposal analysis
- Identify past performance/reputation considerations
- Evaluate representations and certifications
- Validate debarment status
- Document award
Construction Phase

- Ensure compliance with the subcontract’s administrative requirements
- Review and approve/rejecting subcontract deliverables
