As the administrative impact of MDOT’s “new” interpretation of MDOT BOHIM 2010-08 became known, specifically as it related to the requirement of an original signature on the submitted Materials Source List (Form 501), MITA immediately met with MDOT advocating for removal of the requirement. MITA staff requested that MDOT reinstate the long-standing industry practice of submitting these forms via fax or email scan.
MITA is happy to report that with the recent issuance of MDOT BOHIM 2011-08, MDOT has agreed that “Hand written original signatures are no longer required on Form 501 for the project files.”
