ARTICLE 3. COMPENSATION
A. The method of payment for this Agreement will be based on actual costs incurred
up to and not to exceed the limits specified in the Project Budget. 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 B
hereunder. If the 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.
B. All payments will be made in accordance with the Project Budget.
The Subgrantee's expenditures may overrun a budget category (1, 11, or 111) 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, through the TxDOT Electronic Grants Management
System (eGrants) messaging system, prior to the Request for Reimbursement being
approved. The notification 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 the Project
Budget, 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
2012-Lubbock PD-CIOT-00028 Printed On: 4/24/2012
City of Lubbock
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 the Project Budget, within the time frame specified in the Grant
Period 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 Educational Institutions;
• 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 this Grant Agreement, within thirty (30) days after
the end of the billing period. The Request for Reimbursement and appropriate
supporting documentation must be submitted through eGrants.
G. The Subgrantee agrees to submit the final Request for Reimbursement under this
Agreement within forty-five (45) days of the end of the grant period.
H. Payments 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 specified in 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 in eGrants. Any amendment must be
executed by the parties within the Grant Period, as specified in this Grant Agreement.

ARTICLE 6. ADDITIONAL WORK AND CHANGES IN WORK
If the Subgrantee is of the opinion that any assigned work is beyond the scope of this
Agreement and constitutes additional work, the Subgrantee shall promptly notify the
Department in writing through eGrants system messaging. 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 Department shall not be responsible for actions by the Subgrantee or any costs
incurred by the Subgrantee relating to additional work not directly associated with or prior
to the execution of an amendment.
ARTICLE 7. REPORTING AND MONITORING
Not later than twenty (20) days after the end of each reporting period, the Subgrantee shall
submit a performance report through eGrants. For short-term projects, only one report
submitted by the Subgrantee at the end of the project may be required. For longer projects,
the Subgrantee will submit reports at least quarterly and preferably monthly. The frequency
of the performance reports is established through negotiation between the Subgrantee and
the program or project manager.
For Selective Traffic Enforcement Programs (STEPs), performance reports must be
submitted monthly.
The performance report will include, as a minimum: (1) a comparison of actual
accomplishments to the objectives established for the period, (2) reasons why established
objectives and performance measures were not met, if appropriate, and (3) other pertinent
information, including, when appropriate, an analysis and explanation of cost underruns,

The Subgrantee shall submit the Final Performance Report through eGrants within twenty
(20) days after completion of the grant.
The Subgrantee shall promptly advise the Department in writing, through eGrants
messaging, 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 in 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. This right of access is not limited to the four (4) year period but shall last as long
as the records are retained.
ARTICLE 9. 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 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

claims, demands, and causes of action of every kind and character brought by any
employee of the Subgrantee against the Department due to personal injuries or death to
such employee resulting from any alleged negligent act, by either commission or omission
on the part of the Subgrantee.
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

between this Agreement and the Traffic Safety Program Manual, this Agreement shall
govern.

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.

attributable to the completed portion of the work covered by this Agreement, provided that

OMB Circular A-133, "Audits of States, Local Governments, and Other Non -Profit
Organizations."
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.

applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. No subcontract will relieve the
Subgrantee of its responsibility under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 15. GRATUITIES

shall not accept any benefit, gift, or favor from any person doing business with or who,
reasonably speaking, may do business with the Department under this Agreement. 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. NONCOLLUSION

other than a bona fide employee working solely for the Subgrantee, to solicit or secure this
Agreement, and that it has not paid or agreed to pay any company or person, other than a

bona fide employee, any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift, or any other
consideration contingent upon or resulting from the award or making of this Agreement. if

annul this Agreement without liability or, in its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement
price or consideration, or otherwise recover the full amount of such fee, commission,
brokerage fee, contingent fee, or gift.
ARTICLE 17. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The Subgrantee represents that it or its employees have no conflict of interest that would in
any way interfere with its or its employees' performance or which in any way conflicts with
the interests of the Department. The Subgrantee shall exercise reasonable care and
diligence to prevent any actions or conditions that could result in a conflict with the
Department's interests.

employment to perform the work required under this Agreement, or will be able to obtain
such personnel from sources other than the Department.

and other resources required to perform the work.

management procedures or property management standards and federal standards, as
appropriate, in:
49 CFR, Part 18, "Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative
Agreements to State and Local Governments," or
