and filed and permitted accordingly. Permits once obtained are valid for a specified period
of time, which varies with the type of permit and particular agency involved. A permit log
should be maintained to properly administer and control the application and renewal of
all required permits, to ensure that none of the required permits expires (see Chapter 4).
In certain locales, permits will expire when the CM/GC’s insurance policy is up for
annual renewal, regardless of the timing of the normal duration of the permit itself.
