17 AAC 55.070 - Inspection, audit, and maintenance
(a) If the
department transfers control of a public works project to a municipality by an
agreement executed under
17 AAC 55.020, the department will
evaluate the project upon completion, to determine the project's compliance
with that agreement. As part of this evaluation, the department will, in its
discretion, require the municipality to furnish it with "as-built" drawings, a
statement by the responsible local official certifying that the project was
constructed according to these drawings, and a certified expenditure report. If
the evaluation discloses non-compliance with the agreement, the municipality,
as directed by the department, shall make, at its own expense, any changes
necessary to bring the project into compliance.
(b) The department will, in its discretion,
perform an audit of a project transferred to local control at any time during
the life of the project, or within three years after the project's acceptance
by the department. The audit will be preceded by written notice to the
municipality. If the audit or review of the certified expenditure report turns
up discrepancies or unauthorized activity or expenditures, the municipality
shall reimburse amounts attributable to the unauthorized activity or
expenditures.
(c) The department
will, in its discretion, require the municipality to provide for an independent
third-party audit of the project, and provide the audit report to the state.
The cost of any third-party audit required by the department is a valid charge
against the project. If the audit report discloses discrepancies or
unauthorized activity or expenditures, the municipality shall reimburse the
state for the amounts attributable to the unauthorized activity or
expenditures.
(d) Maintenance and
operation of a completed public works project constructed by the municipality
under an agreement will be determined on a case-by-case basis, and the
agreement will specify which party is to be responsible for its maintenance and
operation.
