Assigning an Inspector

An Inspector can be assigned to a permit only after an authorized PennDOT user has Posted a Response of Permit Issued. An Inspector can still be assigned after Closing Out the Permit.

To assign an Inspector who has an EPS Inspector Role:

1.      Navigate to the Inspections & Closeout Screen

2.      Click the [Add] button on the right-hand side of the Inspectors section.

3.      In the Manage Inspector screen, click the [Lookup] button (magnifying glass) next to the Inspector Name field.

4.      In the Inspector Lookup screen, click the check box (to add check mark) next to the name of the Inspector to be assigned.

Note: If the Inspector is not listed, click the [Back] button to return to the Manage Inspectors Screen, and follow the steps below for assigning an Inspector who does not have an EPS Inspector Role.

5.      Click the [OK] button to return to the Manage Inspectors Screen, which is now populated with information for the selected Inspector.

6.      Click the [Save & Exit] button to return to the Inspections & Closeout Screen, which now reflects the selected Inspector with a status of Assigned.

To assign an Inspector who does not have an EPS Inspector Role:

1.      Navigate to the Inspections & Closeout Screen.

2.      Click the [Add] button on the right-hand side of the Inspectors section.

3.      In the Manage Inspector screen, type the Inspector's name, Email address, and phone number into the applicable fields.

4.      Click the [Save & Exit] button to return to the Inspections & Closeout Screen, which now reflects that the selected Inspector has been assigned.

After an Inspector is assigned to a permit:

• The permit status changes to Under Inspection, the permit appears in the Under Inspection section of the My HOP Reimbursements & Inspections Work Queue for appropriate users, and an email is generated to the permittee.

• An authorized PennDOT user is able to assign as many Inspectors to a permit as necessary by repeating the above steps for each Inspector.

• An authorized PennDOT user is able to Edit an Assigned Inspector's contact information (Email address and phone number), if necessary.

• An authorized PennDOT user is able to Remove an Assigned Inspector (if necessary) without removing any applicable Reimbursable records.

• An authorized PennDOT user is able to Create a Reimbursable Record for the cost of inspection, as submitted by that Inspector on an M-371A form.
