AGREEMENT ARTICLE 1. FUNDING PERIOD This agreement becomes effective on October 1, 1992 or when fully executed by all parties hereto, whichever occurs later, and shall terminate on September 30, 1993 unless termination occurs as provided for hereinafter. ARTICLE 2. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES The Subgrantee. shall undertake and complete the project as described in Attachment A, Approved Project Description, and in accordance with all terms and conditions included hereinafter. The Department shall provide assistance as appropriate and as specified in said Attachment A. ARTICLE 3. COMPENSATION A. The maximum amount payable under this agreement shall not exceed the amount of $ 34,990.00 , unless modified in writing through an amendment pursuant to Article 5. B. The method of payment for this agreement will be based on actual costs incurred up to and not to exceed the limits specified in Attachment B, Approved ProjectBudget, unless other methods of payment are specified as follows: 1. If Attachment B, Approved Project Budget, specifies that actual costs will be reimbursed, the amount included in the project budget will be deemed to be .an estimate only and a higher amount can be reimbursed, subject to the conditions specified in paragraph C hereunder. 2. If Attachment B, Approved Project Budget, specifies that costs are based on a specific rate, per -unit cost, or other method of payment, reimbursement will be based on the specified method. C. All payments made hereunder will be made in accordance with Attachment B, Approved Project Budget. The Subgrantee's expenditures may not exceed any budget category in the Approved Project Budget by an amount greater than 5% of the total budget without a written agreement amendment. 'The maximum amount payable shall not be increased as a result of exceeding a budget category without a written contract amendment. D. To be eligible for reimbursement under this agreement, a cost must be incurred in accordance with Attachment B, Approved Project Budget, within the period specified in Article 1 above. 7/92 Page 2 of 13 TEXAS TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM AGREEMENT E. Payment of costs incurred under this agreement is further governed by one of the following cost principles, as appropriate, outlined in the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars: • A-21, Cost Principles for Educational Institutions; • A-87, Cost Principles for State and Local Governments; or, • A-122, Cost Principles for Nonprofit Organizations. F. The Subgrantee agrees to submit monthly or quarterly requests for reimbursement, as designated in Attachment A, within 30 days after the end of the billing period. The Subgrantee will use billing statements acceptable to the Department. The original billing statement and one copy is to be submitted to the address shown; on the last page of this agreement. G. The Subgrantee agrees to submit the final request for payment under this agreement within sixty (60) days of the end of the contract period. H. The Department will exercise all good faith to make payments within thirty days of receipt of properly prepared and documented requests for payment. All payments, however, are contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds. I. Project agreements supported with federal funds are limited to the length of the agreement period and usually do not receive extended funding beyond three years. If both the. Department and the Subgrantee agree that the project has demonstrated merit or has potential long-range benefits, the Subgrantee may apply for funding assistance beyond the three year limit. To be eligible, the Subgrantee should have a cost assumption plan by the end of the first twelve months and must have a plan by the end of the thirty-sixth month of operation of the project. This plan will include a schedule for phasing in funding from its own resources and the phasing out of funding support from the Department. All plans must be approved by the Department before any extension beyond the three year limit will be granted. Preference will be given to those projects for which the Subgrantee has assumed some cost sharing by the end of the first twelve months, and to those which propose to assume the largest percentage of subsequent project costs. Certain categories of funds may be exempted by the federal government from the time limit requirement. Unless exempted, all federally -funded agreements are considered to be subject to the time limit provision. Funding support for all state -funded projects will be limited to the term of the agreement. Any extension beyond that time will be negotiated on a case -by -case basis. ARTICLE 4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Because funds are authorized on a fiscal year basis only, payment of costs incurred hereunder is contingent upon the availability of funds. 7/92 Page 3 of 13 TEXAS TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM AGREEMENT If at any time during the agreement period the Department determines that there is insufficient funding to continue the project, the Department shall so notify the Subgrantee, giving notice of intent to terminate the agreement. Such termination will be conducted in such a manner that will minimize disruption to the Subgrantee and the Department, and as further specified in General Provision G9, Termination. The Subgrantee, if other than a State agency, shall be responsible for settlement of any and all claims and lawsuits by third parties arising from or incident to the Department's non-payment of the Subgrantee's claim under this agreement. The Subgrantee expressly acknowledges that its responsibility includes the payment of all damages, expenses, penalties, fines, costs, charges, and attorney fees, if the claims or lawsuits are based upon the Department's non-payment of claims submitted under this agreement. The Subgrantee shall defend any suits brought upon all such claims and lawsuits and pay all costs and expenses incidental thereto, but the Department shall have the right at its option to participate in the defense of any suit, without relieving the Subgrantee of any obligation hereunder. ARTICLE S. AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS If at any time during the agreement period the Department determines that additional funds are needed to continue the project and the maximum amount payable is insufficient, a written amendment is to be executed to authorize additional funds, if the Department and the Subgrantee determine to continue project funding. Additionally, any changes in the agreement period, agreement terms or responsibilities or the parties hereto shall be enacted by written ammendment executed by both parties. The amendment shall be agreed upon by the parties to this agreement and shall state the change to the mutual satisfaction of the parties. In no event will the agreement period be extended unless a written amendment is executed before the completion date specified in Article 1. ARTICLE 6. ADDITIONAL WORK If the Subgrantee is of the opinion that any work it has been directed to perform is beyond the scope of this agreement and constitutes additional work, the Subgrantee shall promptly notify the Department in writing. In the event that the Department finds that such work does constitute additional work, the Department shall so advise the Subgrantee and provide compensation for doing this work on the same basis as the original work. If the compensation for the additional work will cause the maximum amount payable to be exceeded, a written amendment' will be executed. Any amendment so executed must be approved within the agreement period specified in Article 1. ARTICLE 7. CHANGES IN WORK When the approved project description requires a completed work product, the Department will review the work as specified in the approved project description. If the Department finds it necessary to request changes in previously satisfactorily completed work or parts thereof, the Subgrantee will make such revisions as requested and directed by the Department. Such work will be considered as additional work and subject to the requirements established in Article 6. 7/92 Page 4 of 13 TEXAS TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM AGREEMENT If the Department finds it necessary to require the Subgrantee to revise completed work to correct errors appearing therein, the Subgrantee shall make such corrections and no compensation will be paid for the corrections.
