appropriation by the Legislature. If the Department's funding for this Project is in multiple fiscal years,
funds approval from the Department's Comptroller must be received each fiscal year prior to costs being

money may be paid on such contract. The Department shall require a statement from the
comptroller of the Department that funds are available prior to entering into any such

for a period of more than 1 year."
6. Department Payment Obligations: Subject to other provisions of this Agreement, the Department will honor
requests for reimbursement to the Agency pursuant to this Agreement. However, notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the Department may elect by notice in writing not to make a payment if:

or amendment to its application, or with respect to any document or data furnished with its application or
pursuant to this Agreement;
B. There is any pending litigation with respect to the performance by the Agency of any of its duties or
obligations which may jeopardize or adversely affect the Project, the Agreement or payments to the
Project;

the approval of the Department or has made a related expenditure or incurred related obligations without
having been advised by the Department that same are approved;
D. There has been any violation of the conflict of interest provisions contained in paragraph 16.J.; or

In determining the amount of the payment, the Department will exclude all Project costs incurred by the Agency prior to
the Department's issuance of a Notice to Proceed ( "NTP "), costs incurred after the expiration of the Agreement, costs
which are not provided for in the latest approved schedule of funding in Exhibit "B" for the Project, costs agreed to be
borne by the Agency or its contractors and subcontractors for not meeting the Project commencement and final invoice
time lines, and costs attributable to goods or services received under a contract or other arrangements which have not
been approved in writing by the Department.
7. General Requirements: The Agency shall complete the Project with all practical dispatch, in a sound,
economical, and efficient manner, and in accordance with the provisions in this Agreement, and all applicable laws. The
Project will be performed in accordance with all applicable Department procedures, guidelines, manuals, standards, and
directives as described in the Department's Local Agency Program Manual, which by this reference is made a part of this

B. Once the Department issues the NTP for the Project, the Agency shall be obligated to submit an invoice
or other request for reimbursement to the Department on a quarterly basis, beginning from the day the
NTP is issued. If the Agency fails to submit quarterly invoices to the Department, and in the event the
failure to timely submit invoices to the Department results in the "FHWA" removing any unbilled funding or
the loss of State appropriation authority (which may include the loss of state and federal funds, if there
are state funds programmed to the Project), then the Agency will be solely responsible to provide all
funds necessary to complete the Project and the Department will not be obligated to provide any
additional funding for the Project. The Agency waives the right to contest such removal of funds by the
Department, if the removal is related to FHWA's withdrawal of funds or if the removal is related to the loss
of State appropriation authority. In addition to the loss of funding for the Project, the Department will also
consider the de- certification of the Agency for future LAP Projects. No cost may be incurred under this
Agreement until after the Agency has received a written NTP from the Department. The Agency agrees to
advertise or put the Project out to bid thirty (30) days from the date the Department issues the NTP to
advertise the Project. If the Agency is not able to meet the scheduled advertisement, the District LAP
Administrator should be notified as soon as possible.
C. If all funds are removed from the Project, including amounts previously billed to the Department and
reimbursed to the Agency, and the Project is off the state highway system, then the Department will have
to request repayment for the previously billed amounts from the Agency. No state funds can be used on
off - system projects, unless authorized pursuant to Exhibit "G ", State Funds Addendum, which will be
attached to and incorporated in this Agreement in the event state funds are used on the Project.
D. In the event that any election, referendum, approval, permit, notice or other proceeding or authorization is
required under applicable law to enable the Agency to enter into this Agreement or to undertake the
Project or to observe, assume or carry out any of the provisions of the Agreement, the Agency will initiate
and consummate, as provided by law, all actions necessary with respect to any such matters.
E. The Agency shall initiate and prosecute to completion all proceedings necessary, including Federal -aid
requirements, to enable the Agency to provide the necessary funds for completion of the Project.
F. The Agency shall submit to the Department such data, reports, records, contracts, and other documents
relating to the Project as the Department and FHWA may require. The Agency shall use the
Department's Local Agency Program Information Tool and applicable information systems as required.
G. Federal -aid funds shall not participate in any cost which is not incurred in conformity with applicable
federal and State laws, the regulations in 23 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) and 49 C.F.R., and
policies and procedures prescribed by the Division Administrator of FHWA. Federal funds shall not be
paid on account of any cost incurred prior to authorization by FHWA to the Department to proceed with
the Project or part thereof involving such cost (23 C.F.R. 1.9 (a)). If FHWA or the Department determines
that any amount claimed is not eligible, federal participation may be approved in the amount determined
to be adequately supported and the Department shall notify the Agency in writing citing the reasons why
items and amounts are not eligible for federal participation. Where correctable non - compliance with
provisions of law or FHWA requirements exists. Federal funds may be withheld until compliance is
obtained. Where non - compliance is not correctable, FHWA or the Department may deny participation in
parcel or Project costs in part or in total. For any amounts determined to be ineligible for federal
reimbursement for which the Department has advanced payment, the Agency shall promptly reimburse
the Department for all such amounts within 90 days of written notice.
