(1) During the construction of the Project, the Department may conduct random inspections for Borrower’s compliance with the plans and specifications previously approved by the Department. The Borrower’s supervising architect shall submit regular inspection reports to the Department. Change orders must be signed by the contractor, supervising architect, the Borrower and HUD, if applicable, before being submitted to the Department for its approval.
