who receives the training certificate may be an employee of the Local Government or
an employee of a firm that has been contracted by the Local Government to perform
oversight of the Project. The State in its discretion may deny reimbursement if the
Local Government has not continuously designated in writing a qualified individual to
work actively on or to directly oversee the Project.
B. The expected cash contributions from the federal government, the State, the Local
Government, or other parties are shown in Attachment C. The State will pay for only
those Project costs that have been approved by the Texas Transportation Commission.
For projects with federal funds, the State and the federal government will not reimburse
the Local Government for any work performed before the federal spending authority is
formally obligated to the Project by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). After
federal funds have been obligated, the State will send to the Local Government a copy
of the formal documentation showing the obligation of funds including federal award
information. The Local Government is responsible for 100% of the cost of any work
performed under its direction or control before the federal spending authority is formally
obligated.
C. Attachment C shows, by major cost categories, the cost estimates and the party
responsible for performing the work for each category. These categories may include
but are not limited to: (1) costs of real property; (2) costs of utility work; (3) costs of
environmental assessment and remediation; (4) cost of preliminary engineering and
design; (5) cost of construction and construction management; and (6) any other local
project costs.
D. The State will be responsible for securing the federal and State share of the funding
required for the development and construction of the local Project. If the Local
Government is due funds for expenses incurred, these funds will be reimbursed to the
Local Government on a cost basis.
E. The Local Government will be responsible for all non-federal or non -State participation
costs associated with the Project, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement or
approved otherwise in an amendment to this Agreement. For items of work subject to
specified percentage funding, the Local Government shall only in those instances be
responsible for all Project costs that are greater than the maximum State and federal
participation specified in Attachment C and for overruns in excess of the amount
specified in Attachment C to be paid by the Local Government.
F. The budget in Attachment C will clearly state all items subject to fixed price funding,
specified percentage funding, and the periodic payment schedule, when periodic
payments have been approved by the State.
G. When the Local Government bears the responsibility for paying cost overruns, the
Local Government shall make payment to the State within thirty (30) days from the
receipt of the State's written notification of additional funds being due.
H. When fixed price funding is used, the Local Government is responsible for the fixed
price amount specified in Attachment C. Fixed prices are not subject to adjustment
unless (1) differing site conditions are encountered; (2) further definition of the Local
Government's requested scope of work identifies greatly differing costs from those
estimated; (3) work requested by the Local Government is determined to be ineligible
for federal participation; or (4) the adjustment is mutually agreed to by the State and
the Local Government.

I. Prior to the performance of any engineering review work by the State, the Local
Government will pay to the State the amount specified in Attachment C. At a minimum,
this amount shall equal the Local Government's funding share for the estimated cost of
preliminary engineering performed or reviewed by the State for the Project. At least
sixty (60) days prior to the date set for receipt of the construction bids, the Local
Government shall remit its remaining financial share for the State's estimated
construction oversight and construction cost.
J. The State will not execute the contract for the construction of the Project until the
required funding has been made available by the Local Government in accordance
with this Agreement.
K. Whenever funds are paid by the Local Government to the State under this Agreement,
the Local Government shall remit a check or warrant made payable to the "Texas
Department of Transportation" or may use the State's Automated Clearing House
(ACH) system for electronic transfer of funds in accordance with instructions provided
by TxDOT's Finance Division. The funds shall be deposited and managed by the State
and may only be applied by the State to the Project.
L. The State will not pay interest on any funds provided by the Local Government.
M. If a waiver for the collection of indirect costs for a service project has been granted
under 43 TAC §15.56, the State will not charge the Local Government for the indirect
costs the State incurs on the Project, unless this Agreement is terminated at the
request of the Local Government prior to completion of the Project.
N. If the Local Government is an Economically Disadvantaged County (EDC) and if the
State has approved adjustments to the standard financing arrangement, this
Agreement reflects those adjustments.
O. Where the Local Government is authorized to perform services under this Agreement
and be reimbursed by the State, the Local Government is authorized to submit
requests for reimbursement by submitting the original of an itemized invoice, in a form
and containing all items required by the State, no more frequently than monthly and no
later than ninety (90) days after costs are incurred. If the Local Government submits
invoices more than ninety (90) days after the costs are incurred and if federal funding is
reduced as a result, the State shall have no responsibility to reimburse the Local
Government for those costs.
P. Upon completion of the Project, the State will perform a final accounting of the Project
costs for all items of work with specified percentage funding. Any funds due by the
Local Government, the State, or the federal government for these work items will be
promptly paid by the owing party.
Q. The state auditor may conduct an audit or investigation of any entity receiving funds
from the State directly under this Agreement or indirectly through a subcontract under
this Agreement. Acceptance of funds directly under this Agreement or indirectly
through a subcontract under this Agreement acts as acceptance of the authority of the
state auditor, under the direction of the legislative audit committee, to conduct an audit
or investigation in connection with those funds. An entity that is the subject of an audit
or investigation must provide the state auditor with access to any information the state
auditor considers relevant to the investigation or audit.

engineering, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) and the Project does not proceed
because of insufficient funds, in which case the Local Government agrees to reimburse
the State for its reasonable actual costs incurred during the Project; or
D. The Agreement is terminated by the State because the parties are not able to execute
a mutually agreeable amendment when the costs for Local Government requested
items increase significantly due to differing site conditions, determination that Local
government requested work is ineligible for federal or state cost participation, or a more
thorough definition of the Local Government's proposed work scope identifies greatly
differing costs from those estimated. The State will reimburse Local Government
remaining funds to the Local Government within ninety (90) days of termination; or
E. The Project is inactive for thirty-six (36) consecutive months or longer and no
expenditures have been charged against federal funds, in which case the State may in
