The Director or his or her designated representative(s) must have the privilege of inspecting the construction of any project at any time in order to ensure that plans and specifications are being followed, and that the works are being constructed in accordance with sound engineering and technical principles and practices, but such inspection may never subject the State of Nebraska to any action for damages. The Director may bring to the attention of the applicant and the project engineer any variances from the approved plans and specifications. The applicant and the project engineer or project director must initiate necessary corrective action whenever notified by the Director of any such variances. If corrective action is not completed as directed, then the project will no longer be eligible for funding. Subsequent to the completion of construction, project investigation and inspection may be conducted by the Department during the life of the project and may be prescribed pursuant to the contract between the applicant and the Department.
