Fiscal Year 2012 Department of State Health Services Contract General Provisions (Core/Subrecipient) cost reimbursement contracts of any amount do not require written amendment or prior approval or notification.

A Contractor's Revision Request is an alternative method for amending certain specified provisions of this Contract that is initiated by Contractor, but must be approved by DSHS. The following amendments to this Contract may be made through a Contractor's Revision Request, rather than through the amendment process described in the Amendment section of this Article: a) cumulative budget transfers among direct cost categories, other than the equipment category, that exceed 10% of Program Attachments of $100,000 or more, provided that the total budget amount is unchanged; b) budget transfer to other categories of funds for direct payment to trainees for training allowances; c) change .in clinic hours or location; d) change in the equipment list substituting an item of equipment equivalent to an item of equipment on the approved budget; e) changes in the equipment category of a previously approved equipment budget (other than acquisition of additional equipment, which requires an amendment to this Contract); and f) changes specified in applicable OMB Circular cost principles as requiring prior approval, regardless of dollar threshold (e.g., foreign travel expenses, overtime premiums, membership fees. In order to request a revision of any of the enumerated provisions, Contractor shall obtain a Contract Revision Request form from the DSHS website available at http: / /www.dShs.state.tx.us /grants /forms.shtm, and complete the form as directed by the Department. Two copies of the completed form must be signed by Contractor's representative who is authorized to sign contracts on behalf of Contractor, and both original, signed forms must be submitted to the contract manager assigned to the Program Attachment. Any approved revision will not be effective unless signed by the DSHS Director of the Client Services Contracting Unit.
