Project management activities, such as procurement, document review, and construction oversight, are eligible provided the activities are tracked and directly related to a specific, eligible project.

Engineering and design services and construction inspection are also eligible provided the services are necessary to complete eligible work. Some projects require only very basic services or none at all, while others require specialized engineering and design.

When evaluating the eligibility of project management and design services and the reasonableness of associated costs, FEMA considers all of the following:

• Project complexities
• Whether redesign was necessary as a result of unexpected site conditions
• Whether the project includes improvements that are not eligible for funding (management and design costs associated with ineligible work are not eligible)
