Question:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our offices remain closed and our staff are working remotely. This situation makes it difficult to obtain original signatures on documents, to collect hard copies and original signatures from subcontractors who may also be working remotely, and to print and sign large volumes of documentation. Given the important public health concerns, as well as concerns of at risk individuals, and the current remote working environment for many consultants, would RIDOT allow (1) digital, scanned, or electronic signatures in place of original signatures, and (2) electronic submittal of proposals in place of 6 hard copies? |
|
|
Answer:
RIDOT will allow digital, scanned, or electronic signatures in place of original signatures. Submission of hard copies is a State Department of Administration, Division of Purchases requirement that RIDOT does not have the authority to waive. |
