public agency acting for or as agent of the sponsor.

    (b) Each contract under a project must meet the requirements of 

local law.

facilities, for installing, extending, changing, removing, or relocating 

that structure or facility. However, the sponsor must obtain the 

approval of the Area Manager before entering into such a contract.

issuance of such a notice unless he is satisfied that adequate 

replacement housing is available and has been offered to affected 

persons, as required for project eligibility by Sec. 151.39(a)(5).

    (f) Except when the Area Manager determines that the sponsor has 

previously demonstrated satisfactory engineering and construction 

supervision and inspection, no sponsor may allow a contractor or 

subcontractor to begin work, nor may the sponsor begin force account 

work, until the sponsor has notified the Area Manager in writing that 

engineering and construction supervision and inspection have been 

arranged to insure that construction will conform to FAA approved plans 

and specifications, and that the sponsor has caused a review to be made 

of the qualifications of personnel who will be performing such 

supervision and inspection and is satisfied that they are qualified to 

do so.
