A subcontractor can start working after the SRF has been submitted to and is approved by Field Reports OR after the complete subcontract is submitted and approved. (Note: A completed contract is required for all subcontractors by the end of the project.)
Refer to the email below from Field Reports. This will apply if a subcontractor does start work prior to approval:

Dear Contractor
Due to repeated instances of primes allowing subcontractors to start work on ADOT projects prior to being approved, the following policy is in effect immediately. Prior to closing payrolls the Field Office will notify the prime contractor of any subcontractors who started project work prior to being approved by ADOT. The contractor will be responsible for writing a letter to the Resident Engineer explaining why the subcontractor started work on the project prior to being approved. The letter should also include what remediation measures have been implemented by the contractor to ensure the situation is not repeated. The letter will be concurred to by the RE and then forwarded to Field Reports.
If you have any questions, please call Charlene Neish at 602.712.7321 or Bill Fay at 602.712.4132.
