Amentum – Notice to Proceed (NTP) Approval Guide

A Notice to Proceed (NTP) is required before any work may begin onsite.

This article explains who is responsible for issuing an NTP and how the NTP process works in Pathwave for Amentum projects.

NTP Responsibility Overview (Important)

Standard Rule (Most Cases)

  • Subcontractor CM / PM

    • Is responsible for issuing the NTP

Amentum CMs do not issue NTPs for subcontractor crews. Their role is oversight and enforcement of compliance.

When an NTP Is Required

  • An NTP is required for every SPA

  • No work may begin until an NTP is issued

  • Work performed without an approved NTP is considered non-compliant

NTP Notification Flow

When a SPA is completed:

  • The CM assigned to the job (listed under Job Assignments on the Job Overview page) receives a text notification

  • This notification indicates the SPA is ready for review and NTP action

  • Open the SPA requiring review

  • Review the SPA for completeness and accuracy

  • Select one of the following:

  • Approve → Issues the NTP

    • Reject → Rejects the SPA and returns it for correction

Outcome:

  • When approved, the assigned Foreman automatically receives a text confirmation

  • When rejected, the SPA must be corrected and resubmitted before work can begin
