SECTION 123.23. General Project Responsibility

(a) The Commission is responsible for the administration of Project Analyses and Projects for all state agencies except as otherwise provided in Texas Government Code, §§2165.007, 2166.003, 2166.004 and other statutes.

(b) The Commission will act as the owner for the benefit of the Using Agency and shall provide timely and complete information to the Using Agency for any pending Project for which it is responsible.

(c) The Commission shall act in the best interests of the State of Texas in administering Project contracts for which it is responsible.

(d) Each Project administered by the Commission shall bear the Cost of Services to be rendered. At the start of a Project, an estimate of the Cost of Services provided by the Commission will be provided to the Using Agency. This estimate may be changed by agreement of the Commission and the Using Agency.

(e) The funds for all costs of the Project, when allowed by law, shall be transferred to the Commission by an agreement signed by both parties and an interagency transfer voucher to convey the funds. This process shall occur immediately after the Project request is received and analyzed by the Commission and before work commences on the Project. Once the Project is accepted and the initial funding requirements are identified, the voucher shall be processed and the funds transferred. For Projects where statute required the funding to be controlled by the Using Agency, the Commission shall be responsible for oversight and approval of expenditures, and the Using Agency shall be responsible for payment.
