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 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.
2. 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 (eGranfs), 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.

reimbursement (TxDOT) in the attached Project Budget requires an
amendment of this Grant Agreement.
4. The maximum amount eligible for reimbursement shall not be increased
above the Grand Total TxDOT Amount in the approved Project Budget,
2013-Beaumont-IDM-00013 Printed On: 12/10/2012
City of Beaumont
unless this Grant Agreement is amended, as described in Article 5 of this
agreement.
5. 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 five (5) percent flexibility, with underrun funds from
Budget Categories II or Ill.

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.

following cost principles, as appropriate, outlined in:

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.

agreement within forty-five (45) days of the end of the grant period.

City of Beaumont
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.

funds. If at any time during this Grant Period, the Department determines that there is
insufficient funding to continue the project, the Department shall notify the Subgrantee,

this agreement and constitutes additional work, the Subgrantee shall promptly notify
the Department in writing through eGrants. If the Department finds that such work
does constitute additional work, the Department shall 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.

agreement but the Department requests changes to the completed work or parts of
the work which involve changes to the original scope of services or character of work
under this agreement, the Subgrantee shall make those revisions as requested and

accomplishments to the objectives established for the period, (2) reasons why

events that will have a significant impact upon this agreement, including:
1. 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.
2. Favorable developments or events that enable meeting time schedules and
objectives sooner than anticipated or achieving greater performance measure
output than originally projected.
D. The Subgrantee shall submit the Final Performance Report through eGrants within
thirty (30) days after completion of the grant.

litigation has been completely and fully resolved, whichever occurs last.

employees.

employee of the Subgrantee against the Department due to personal injuries to or
death of any employee resulting from any alleged negligent act, by either
commission or omission on the part of the Subgrantee.
C. 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.

performed in a manner that will not unduly delay the work.
ARTICLE 13. AUDIT

agreement.

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 the Subgrantee breaches or violates this warranty, the Department shall
have the right to 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.
