Government Agency Interaction
STA members working for public agencies have the advantage of Government Agency Interaction which helps them in situations of delay and non-action in the processing of Notice of Direction (NODs) and Change Orders (COs).
The STA’s Public Agencies Committee is able to help STA members participating in public projects by reviewing NODs and COs of the following agencies:
- Department of Environmental Protection
- Department of Design & Construction
- Dormitory Authority
- Health and Hospital Corporation
- NYC Housing Authority
- School Construction Authority
- MTA New York Transit Authority
The Public Agencies Committee is able to review NODs and COs with these agencies regularly and monitor the process towards identifying the reasons for delay and non-payment.
NOTICE OF DIRECTION AND CHANGE ORDERS
If you are having problems with Notices of Direction (NODs) and Change Orders (Cos) and if you doing work for the following agencies (see list below) , the STA can be of invaluable assistant to you.

Through the efforts of our association's Public Agencies Committee, we will be able to review NODs, (Notice of Direction), and COs (Change Orders) with the above agencies regularly. This joint effort will monitor the progress of the processing of the NODs and COs and help identify the reasons for delay or non-action by the agency involved.
The agencies have indicated that it is in everyone's best interest to process COs in a timely fashion. If you want to take advantage of this opportunity, you must provide STA with accurate information on the following:
