1. Definitions
TCEQ Contract Number. 582-19.90043
SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.1. "Cost Share" or "Local Match" - The value of the third party in-kind contributions and
the portion of the costs of a State assisted project or program not borne by the State.
1.2. "Total Program Cost" is the combined federal and state funding provided by TCEQ and
the Cost Share provided by the PERFORMING PARTY applied towards allowable costs for
this Agreement in a particular fiscal year.
1.3. "Source of Interest to the EPA" means any air pollution site that is a "Major Source" as
defined in 40 C.F.R. § 70.2 and 30 T.A.C. §122.10.
1.4. A "Minor Change" is a written document which provides for minor changes in the work
in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions, but which does not change the
TCEQ Maximum Obligation, Contract Period, or Contract Terms and Conditions.
This agreement supports a Local Air Program as defined in Section 382.0622(d), Texas Health
and Safety Code. The combined federal share, derived from the Section 105 pass-through
funding from the TCEQ and the state share, derived from the current Appropriations Act
(including funds provided under this Agreement) for the PERFORMING PARTY's Local Air
Program will not exceed 67% of the PERFORMING PARTY's Total Program Cost. If the
PERFORMING PARTY does not provide sufficient Local Match, causing TCEQ's combined federal
and state funding to exceed 67% of Total Program Cost, TCEQ will reduce allowable cost
reimbursement such that the required Cost Share distribution is met.
3. Each request for payment must show the cumulative amount of Local Match provided by the
PERFORMING PARTY for the fiscal year. The final request for payment must show that the 33%,
or greater, Local Match has been provided, calculated based on the Total Program Cost. If the
first quarter (September through November), second quarter (December through February), and
third quarter (March through May) requests for payment do not reflect that the 33% Local Match
has been provided, PERFORMING PARTY will provide the amount of the Local Match shortage
and a statement each quarter acknowledging that it anticipates meeting the 33% Local Match
requirement by the time the final request for payment is submitted.
4. This agreement has a four-year term commencing on September 1, 2018, and will terminate on
August 31, 2022.

be spent. Performing Party shall maintain records subject to the terms of this Contract.

entered above. If no reimbursable rate is shown above, indirect costs are not reimbursable under
this Contract. The reimbursable rate must be less than or equal to the rate authorized under
UGMS. To the extent that the reimbursable rate is lower than Performing Party's actual indirect
costs, Performing Party is contributing its unreimbursed indirect costs to the successful
performance of this Contract, and waives any right it may have to reimbursement of those costs (if
this Contract requires matching funds, Performing Party may claim its unreimbursed indirect costs
as part or all of its match). Performing Party must fund all unreimbursed indirect costs from other
funds. It is the Performing Party's responsibility to ensure that unreimbursed indirect costs are not
charged to other projects which do no benefit from them, and that it uses funding sources that
may be properly used to fund its unreimbursed costs.
