Notice to Proceed Template

This document is a Notice to Proceed template issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). The template serves as formal authorization for a vendor to commence work on a contracted project and to access the work site. The notice specifies that work shall commence on a designated date and should reach substantial completion by a specified deadline. The template accommodates milestone-based project structures, allowing DPS to issue notices for individual project phases or deliverables rather than requiring a single project commencement date.

The template includes provisions for contract identification, project identification, milestone designation, and associated funding amounts for each phase. The Contract Monitor is responsible for issuing the notice and providing contact information and area assignment. The document is formatted to accommodate distribution to DPS parties for visibility and tracking purposes through carbon copy notifications. This standardized template ensures consistent communication of work authorization and project timelines across DPS contracting activities.
