Monitoring Plan
1. Purpose
This Monitoring Plan establishes the approach Altus Compliance will use to monitor all CPF-funded projects for compliance with federal requirements, grant agreements, City policies, approved budgets, project milestones, environmental conditions, Davis-Bacon labor requirements, and closeout obligations.
2. Monitoring Objectives
- Confirm projects are implemented according to approved scope, budget, and schedule.
- Verify eligible use of CPF funds.
- Identify compliance concerns early.
- Track environmental review and labor standards obligations.
- Confirm required documentation is complete.
- Support corrective action before issues become audit findings.
- Maintain a complete monitoring record in the CPF Grant Management Portal.
3. Monitoring Approach
Altus Compliance uses a risk-based monitoring model. Projects are scored based on budget size, construction complexity, environmental review status, Davis-Bacon applicability, drawdown activity, prior findings, documentation gaps, and schedule risk.
Monitoring Types
| Type | Objective | Frequency | Method | Responsible Party |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Desk Reviews | Verify documentation completeness and compliance with grant requirements | Monthly | Document review | Altus Compliance |
| On-Site Reviews | Observe construction progress, labor practices, and environmental controls | Quarterly | Site visit and interview | Altus Compliance |
| Risk-Based Reviews | Target high-risk projects based on monitoring matrix scores | As needed | Combined desk and site review | Altus Compliance |
| Closeout Reviews | Verify project completion, final expenditures, and closeout documentation | At project close | Comprehensive review | Altus Compliance |
4. Risk Assessment
Each project receives a risk score based on weighted factors including budget threshold, construction activity, compliance history, and schedule performance. High-risk projects receive increased monitoring frequency including additional on-site visits and accelerated desk reviews.
5. Monitoring Schedule
Desk reviews are conducted monthly for all active construction projects. On-site reviews are scheduled quarterly or more frequently for high-risk projects. Closeout reviews are initiated when a project enters the closeout phase and must be completed before final fund disbursement.
6. Corrective Action Process
Every finding must have a responsible owner, corrective action, deadline, status, and closure documentation. The portal tracks all findings through resolution. Findings classified as high severity require escalation to the City Program Administrator within 48 hours.
7. Reporting
Monitoring results roll into monthly executive dashboards and quarterly reporting. Summary metrics include visit completion rates, finding counts by category, corrective action closure rates, and project risk score changes.
