Section 130. Construction

A. During the construction of all projects, the sponsor shall submit monthly inspection or progress reports to the department. The sponsor shall submit the reports to the department no later than the 15th day of the month following the inspection or when the progress report became due. The department shall notify the sponsor in writing within 10 business days after receipt of any issues or problems with the project or the reports. The department's failure to respond in the required time frame shall serve as acceptance of the inspection and progress report. Any failure to timely submit the monthly inspection or progress reports may constitute grounds to deny the requested reimbursement, in whole or in part.

B. Any substantive change during the construction phase shall be submitted in writing to the department for review and approval before any such change is executed. Only those changes that are approved through the approved department procedure shall be eligible for reimbursement. Any failure to seek and obtain approval of a substantive change may constitute grounds to deny the requested reimbursement, in whole or in part.
