All payments will be made in accordance with Attachment E, Traffic Safety Project Budget. Page 2 of 11 TxDOT Form 1854 (rev. 712012004) Attachment B Project Title: _ Subgrantee: _ The Subgrantee's expenditures may overrun a budget category (I, II, or III) in the approved Project Budget without a grant (budget) amendment, as long as the overrun does not exceed a total of five (5) percent per year of the maximum amount eligible for reimbursement (TxDOT) in the attached Project Budget for the current fiscal year. This overrun must be off -set by an equivalent underrun elsewhere in the Project Budget. If the overrun is five (5) percent or less, the Subgrantee must provide written notification to the Department prior to the Request for Reimbursement being approved. This notification must be in the form of an attachment to the Request for Reimbursement that covers the period of the overrun. This attachment must indicate the amount, the percent over, and the specific reason(s) for the overrun. Any overrun of more than five (5) percent of the amount eligible for reimbursement (TxDOT) in the attached Project Budget requires an amendment of this Grant Agreement. The maximum amount eligible for reimbursement shall not be increased above the Grand Total TxDOT Amount in the approved Project Budget, unless this Grant Agreement is amended, as described in Article 5 of this Agreement. For Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grants only: In Attachment E of the Grant Agreement, Traffic Safety Project Budget (Form 2077-LE), Subgrantees are not allowed to use underrun funds from the TxDOT amount of (100) Salaries, Subcategories A, "Enforcement," or B, "PI&E Activities," to exceed the TxDOT amount listed in Subcategory C, "Other." Also, Subgrantees are not allowed to use underrun funds from the TxDOT amount of (100) Salaries, Subcategories A, "Enforcement," or C, "Other," to exceed the TxDOT amount listed in Subcategory B, "PI&E Activities." The TxDOT amount for Subcategory B, "PI&E Activities," or C, "Other," can only be exceeded within the 5 percent flexibility, with underrun funds from Budget Categories II or III. C. To be eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement, a cost must be incurred in accordance with Attachment E, Traffic Safety Project Budget, within the time frame specified in the Grant Period on page 1 of this Grant Agreement, attributable to work covered by this Agreement, and which has been completed in a manner satisfactory and acceptable to the Department. D. Federal or TxDOT funds cannot supplant (replace) funds from any other sources. The term "supplanting," refers to the use of federal or TxDOT funds to support personnel or an activity already supported by local or state funds. 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 Institutions of Higher Education; • A-87, Cost Principles for State, Local, and Indian Tribal 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 D, Action Plan, within thirty (30) days after the end of the billing period. The Subgrantee will use billing forms acceptable to the Department.

In addition, a copy of the Request for Reimbursement and appropriate backup documentation, plus three (3) copies of the Request for Reimbursement without backup documentation, must be submitted to this same address.

Payments, however, are contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds. I. Project agreements supported with federal or TxDOT funds are limited to the length of this Grant Period, which is specified on page 1 of this Grant Agreement. If the Department determines that the project has demonstrated merit or has potential long-range benefits, the Subgrantee may apply for funding assistance beyond the initial Agreement period. Preference for funding will be given to those projects for which the Subgrantee has assumed some cost sharing, those which propose to assume the largest percentage of subsequent project costs, and those which have demonstrated performance that is acceptable to the Department. ARTICLE 4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Payment of costs incurred hereunder is contingent upon the availability of funds. If at any time during this Grant 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 this Agreement, as specified in Article 11 of this Agreement. If at the end of a federal fiscal year, the Department determines that there is sufficient funding and performance to continue the project, the Department may so notify the Subgrantee to continue this agreement. ARTICLE 5. AMENDMENTS This Agreement may be amended prior to its expiration by mutual written consent of both parties, utilizing the Grant Agreement Amendment designated by the Department. Any amendment must be executed by the parties within the Grant Period, as specified on page 1 of this Grant Agreement. ARTICLE 6.

If the Department finds that such work does constitute additional work, the Department shall so advise the Subgrantee and a written amendment to this Agreement will be executed according to Article 5, Amendments, to provide compensation for doing this work on the same basis as the original work. If performance of the additional work will cause the maximum amount payable to be exceeded, the work will not be performed before a written grant amendment is executed. If the Subgrantee has submitted work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement but the Department requests changes to the completed work or parts thereof which involve changes to the original scope of services or character of work under this Agreement, the Subgrantee shall make such revisions as requested and directed by the Department. This will be considered as additional work and will be paid for as specified in this Article. If the Subgrantee submits work that does not comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Department shall instruct the Subgrantee to make such revisions as are necessary to bring the work into compliance with this Agreement. No additional compensation shall be paid for this work. The Subgrantee shall make revisions to the work authorized in this Agreement, which are necessary to correct errors or omissions appearing therein, when required to do so by the Department. No additional compensation shall be paid for this work.

The Subgrantee shall promptly advise the Department in writing of events that will have a significant impact upon this Agreement, including: A. Problems, delays, or adverse conditions, including a change of project director or other changes in Subgrantee personnel, that will materially affect the ability to attain objectives and performance measures, prevent the meeting of time schedules and objectives, or preclude the attainment of project objectives or performance measures by the established time periods. This disclosure shall be accompanied by a statement of the action taken or contemplated and any Department or federal assistance needed to resolve the situation. B. Favorable developments or events that enable meeting time schedules and objectives sooner than anticipated or achieving greater performance measure output than originally projected. ARTICLE 8. RECORDS The Subgrantee agrees to maintain all reports, documents, papers, accounting records, books, and other evidence pertaining to costs incurred and work_ performed hereunder, (hereinafter called the records), and shall make such records available at its office for the time period authorized within the Grant Period, as specified on page 1 of this Grant Agreement. The Subgrantee further agrees to retain said records for four (4) years from the date of final payment under this Agreement, until completion of all audits, or until pending litigation has been completely and fully resolved, whichever occurs last. Duly authorized representatives of the Department, the USDOT, the Office of the Inspector General, Texas State Auditor, and the Comptroller General shall have access to the records.

INDEMNIFICATION To the extent permitted by law, the Subgrantee, if other than a government entity, shall indemnify, hold, and save harmless the Department and its officers and employees from all claims and liability due to the Page 5 of 11 TxDOT Form 1854 (rev. 712012004) Attachment B Project Title: Subgrantee: acts or omissions of the Subgrantee, its agents, or employees. The Subgrantee also agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify, hold, and save harmless the Department from any and all expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees, all court costs and awards for damages incurred by the Department in litigation or otherwise resisting such claims or liabilities as a result of any activities of the Subgrantee, its agents, or employees.

If the Subgrantee is a government entity, both parties to this Agreement agree that no party is an agent, servant, or employee of the other party and each party agrees it is responsible for its individual acts and deeds, as well as the acts and deeds of its contractors, employees, representatives, and agents. ARTICLE 10. DISPUTES AND REMEDIES This Agreement supercedes any prior oral or written agreements. If a conflict arises between this Agreement and the Traffic Safety Program Manual, this Agreement shall govern. The Subgrantee shall be responsible for the settlement of all contractual and administrative issues arising out of procurement made by the Subgrantee in support of Agreement work. Disputes concerning performance or payment shall be submitted to the Department for settlement, with the Executive Director or his or her designee acting as final referee. ARTICLE 11. TERMINATION This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Subgrantee has satisfactorily completed all services and obligations described herein and these have been accepted by the Department, unless: • This Agreement is terminated in writing with the mutual consent of both parties; or • There is a written thirty (30) day notice by either party; or • The Department determines that the performance of the project is not in the best interest of the Department and informs the Subgrantee that the project is terminated immediately.

INSPECTION OF WORK The Department and, when federal funds are involved, the US DOT, or any authorized representative thereof, have the right at all reasonable times to inspect or otherwise evaluate the work performed or being performed hereunder and the premises in which it is being performed. If any inspection or evaluation is made on the premises of the Subgrantee or its subcontractor, the Subgrantee shall provide and require its subcontractor to provide all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of the inspectors in the performance of their duties. All inspections and evaluations shall be performed in such a manner as will not unduly delay the work. ARTICLE 13.

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. ARTICLE 14. SUBCONTRACTS The Subgrantee shall not enter into any subcontract with individuals or organizations not a part of the Subgrantee's organization without prior written concurrence with the subcontract by the Department.

The only exceptions allowed are ordinary business lunches and items that have received the advanced written approval of the Department's Executive Director. Any person doing business with or who reasonably speaking may do business with the Department under this Agreement may not make any offer of benefits, gifts, or favors to Department employees, except as mentioned here above. Failure on the part of the Subgrantee to adhere to this policy may result in termination of this Agreement. ARTICLE 16.
