Section 1826 - Revision of a Project Budget(a) The Director of General Services may revise any item, within a site, plans, site and plans, furniture and equipment, or construction project budget upward or downward, and pursuant to his determination under Section 1820(b) may increase the contribution of the district with a corresponding reduction in State aid and/or apportionment, provided that no revision authorized under this subsection results in an increase in the total amount of the project budget prescribed by the Board or contemplates an expenditure not otherwise permitted by the Act or these regulations.(b) The Director of General Services may reduce any apportionment or State aid as may be necessary to reflect any revision or contribution made by him pursuant to (a) above. Such reduction shall be deemed to be immediately effective, but the district may to the extent thereof appeal the same to the Director of General Services or to the Board as hereinafter provided, within six months of such revision. If in the judgment of the Director of General Services the basis of the appeal is valid in whole or in part, he may, by appropriate revision of his previous action acquiesce in whole or in part in such appeal. To the extent he does not acquiesce in such appeal, the district may further appeal to the Board either orally or via written documents. The Board shall affirm or modify the reduction of the Director of General Services. The latter shall thereupon revise the project budget and/or financing in any manner necessary to accord with such determination of the Board.(c) No change order shall be approved or become a basis for revising a construction project if such change order would increase the amount of the construction contract because of additional work performed or to be performed after the notice of completion has been filed or the project has been accepted by the governing body of the school district, whichever first occurs.(d) The Executive Officer shall not issue authorizations for expenditure of any remaining funds apportioned for the approved purposes of a construction project and/or furniture and equipment after one year has elapsed from the date of completion of the project as determined by the date notice of completion is filed or the date the project is accepted by the governing body of the school district, whichever first occurs, unless the Board specifically so directs after determining that good cause exists therefor.Cal.
