Project Implementation

Implementation of the project differs based on the type of funding.

Every local public agency (LPA), when using MFT or state funds for a project, has an obligation to ensure that the project is completed according to the approved plans and specifications. The LPA is responsible for ensuring the project is properly implemented by providing the following: project supervision, project documentation, contract changes, equipment inspection, inspection and testing of materials, and final acceptance.
