Locally Administered. Contracts that are locally administered will have very little involvement of state construction staff. In some instances, construction staff may be asked to inspect the project and complete a TEA Project Completion certificate. In this event they will be certifying that the project was built and appears to be in substantial conformance with the approved plan and specifications, as amended by change order. The person doing the final inspection should be furnished with a copy of the plans, contract provisions, and any change orders. A detailed inspection is not necessary or expected. The inspection is primarily to determine that the project was built to the length and width specified, and the surfacing, curb and gutter, and appurtenances are of the type specified and are in place. Copies of any change orders are to be attached to the certificate.
