Helpful tidbits


Project DIR #
The project DIR # tends to be 5-7 digits long.  Your prime contractor and/or awarding body should have this information.  You may also check your contract/bid documents/memos for this information. 
  •  Construction projects over $25k should have a project DIR #. 
  •  Maintenance projects over $15k should have a project DIR #.  

The $15k/$25k is based on the project total (COST TO THE PROJECT OWNER), not just your company's contract total.

This is not your company DIR number, which is formatted: 10000xxxxx.

Reporting Requirements:
Sometimes a project will have extra reporting requirements on it.  It may ask that you report to a 3rd-part software system.  This is an additional requirement on-top of the general requirements outlined by state and federal regulations.  

Reference your bid/contract/compliance documents to determine if there are additional requirements.
