of payment, reimbursement will be based on the specified method.

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

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.

(TxDOT) in the attached Project Budget requires an amendment of this Grant
Agreement.

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,

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,
"PIKE Activities." The TxDOT amount for Subcategory B, "PIBE 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 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

following cost principles, as appropriate, outlined in the Federal Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circulars:

H. Payments are contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds.

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.

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

parties, utilizing the Grant Agreement Amendment in eGrants. Any amendment must be

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.

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

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

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.

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
