Project Construction In the event that Right -of -Way acquisition for, or actual construction of the road for which Preliminary Engineering is undertaken is not started by the closing of the fifth fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the agreement is executed, the Agency will repay to the State the sum or sums of Federal funds paid to the Agency under the terms of this agreement. (See Section VIII.)

The State will pay for State incurred costs on the project.

The State shall bill the Agency for that portion of State costs which were not reimbursed by the Federal Government. (See Section VIII.) 2. Project Construction Costs Project construction financing will be accomplished by one of the three methods as indicated in this agreement. METHOD "A": The Agency will place with the State, within twenty (20) days after the execution of the construction contract an advance in the amount of the Agency's share of the total construction cost based on the contract award. The State will notify the Agency of the exact amount to be deposited with the State. The State will pay all costs incurred under the contract upon presentation of progress billings from the contractor. Following such payments, the State will submit a billing to the Federal Government for the Federal -aid participation share of the cost. When the project is substantially completed and final actual costs of the project can be determined the State will present the Agency with a final billing showing the amount due the State or the amount due the Agency. This billing will be cleared by either a payment from the Agency to the State or by a refund from the State to the Agency. METHOD "B": The Agency's share of the total construction cost as shown on the face of this agreement shall be withheld from its monthly fuel tax allotments. The face of this agreement establishes the months in which the withholding shall take place and the exact amount to be withheld each month. The extent of withholding will be confirmed by letter from the State at the time of contract award. Upon receipt of progress billings from the contractor, the State will submit such billings to the Federal Government for payment of its participating portion of such billings. METHOD "C": The Agency may submit vouchers to the State in the format prescribed by the State, in quadruplicate, not more than once per month for those costs eligible for Federal participation to the extent that such costs are directly attributable and properly allocable to this project. Expenditures by the Local Agency for the establishment, maintenance, general administration, supervision, and other overhead shall not be eligible for Federal participation. The State will reimburse the Agency for the Federal share of eligible project costs up to the amount shown on the face of this agreement. At the time of audit, the Agency will provide documentation of all costs incurred on the project. The State shall bill the Agency for all costs incurred by the State relative to the project. The State shall also bill the Agency for the Federal funds paid by the State to the Agency for project costs which are subsequently determined to be ineligible for Federal participation (See Section VIII). VII AUDIT OF FEDERAL AID PROJECT The Agency, if services of a Consultant are required, shall be responsible for audit of the Consultant's records to determine eligible Federal -aid costs on the project. The report of said audit shall be in the Agency's files and made available to the State and the Federal Govern- ment.

If upon audit it is found that an overpayment, or participation of Federal money in ineligible items of cost, has occurred, the Agency shall reimburse the State for the amount of such overpayment or excess participation. (See Section VIII.) VIII PAYMENT OF BILLING The Agency agrees that if payment or arrangement for payment of any of the State's billing relative to the project (e.g. State force work, project cancelation, overpayment, cost ineligible for Federal participation, etc.) is not made to the State within 45 days after the Agency has been billed, the State shall effect reimbursement of the total sum due from the regular monthly fuel tax allotments to the Agency from the Motor Vehicle Fund. No additional Federal project funding will be approved until full payment is received unless otherwise directed by the State Aid Engineer.

(f) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of such rules, regulations or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or Federally assisted construction con- tracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 DOT 140-039 (R/8/83) Ox A-144 of September 24, 1965 and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965 or by rule, regulation or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.

Failure to include liquidated damages provision will not relieve the Agency from reduction of Federal participation in accordance with this par- agraph.
