1. If a project cannot proceed on a timely basis because comparable replacement dwellings are not available, and the displacing agency determines that such dwellings cannot otherwise be made available, the displacing agency may take such action as is necessary or appropriate to provide the dwellings by use of funds authorized for the program or project. The displacing agency may let contracts for the construction of the dwellings, approve plans and specifications for the building of the dwellings, and supervise, inspect, and approve the dwellings once constructed in order that the dwellings so constructed comply with the terms and conditions of this chapter. The displacing agency may under this section exceed the maximum amounts which may be paid under sections 316.5 and 316.6 on a case-by-case basis for good cause as determined in accordance with administrative rules adopted by the department.
