Facility Restorations

Facilities Under Construction

Detailed Discussion

Typically, Facilities  Under Construction are the responsibility of the  contractor until the owner has accepted the work as complete. In the event of  damage to a facility under construction, FEMA must determine if the applicant  is responsible for repairs before granting assistance. Repairs are eligible  in the following situations:
   †  The contract  under which the work is being performed places responsibility for damage on  the applicant during the construction period.
   †  Prior to the  disaster, the applicant had accepted the work as complete and had, therefore,  assumed responsibility. If the applicant had accepted responsibility for a  portion of the site, repairs to that portion of the site would be  eligible.
   Repairs are not eligible if the work is the  responsibility of the contractor at the time of the disaster.
