Force Account Policy. The executive administrator expects that all significant elements of a project shall be constructed with skilled laborers and mechanics obtained through the competitive bidding process. Notwithstanding that expectation, the Applicant, with the prior approval of the executive administrator, may utilize its own employees and equipment for inspection or minor construction upon showing that it possesses the necessary competence required to accomplish such work and that the work can be accomplished more economically by the use of the force account method.
