verbal or written, made in violation of this subsection is null and void, and no money may
be paid on such contract. The Department shall require a statement from the comptroller
of the Department that funds are available prior to entering into any such contract or other
binding commitment of funds. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the making of
contracts for periods exceeding 1 year, but any contract so made shall be executory only
for the value of the services to be rendered or agreed to be paid for in succeeding fiscal
years, and this paragraph shall be incorporated verbatim in all contracts of the Department
which are for an amount in excess of$25,000 and which have a term for a period of more
than 1 year."
6. Department Payment Obligations:
Subject to other provisions of this Agreement, the Department will honor requests for reimbursement to the Recipient
pursuant to this Agreement. However, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Department may elect
by notice in writing not to make a payment if:
a. The Recipient shall have made misrepresentation of a material nature in its application, or any supplement or
amendment to its application, or with respect to any document or data furnished with its application or pursuant to
this Agreement;
b. There is any pending litigation with respect to the performance by the Recipient of any of its duties or obligations
which may jeopardize or adversely affect the Project, the Agreement or payments to the Project;
c. The Recipient shall have taken any action pertaining to the Project which, under this Agreement, requires the
approval of the Department or has made a related expenditure or incurred related obligations without having been
advised by the Department that same are approved;
d. There has been any violation of the conflict of interest provisions contained in paragraph 14.f.; or
e. The Recipient has been determined by the Department to be in default under any of the provisions of the Agreement.
The Department may suspend or terminate payment for that portion of the Project which the Federal Highway Administration
("FHWA"), or the Department acting in lieu of FHWA, may designate as ineligible for Federal-aid.
In determining the amount of the payment, the Department will exclude all Project costs incurred by the Recipient prior to
the Department's issuance of a Notice to Proceed ("NTP"), costs incurred after the expiration of the Agreement, costs which
are not provided for in the latest approved schedule of funding in Exhibit "B" for the Project, costs agreed to be borne by
the Recipient or its contractors and subcontractors for not meeting the Project commencement and final invoice time lines,
and costs attributable to goods or services received under a contract or other arrangements which have not been approved
in writing by the Department.
7. General Requirements:
The Recipient shall complete the Project with all practical dispatch, in a sound, economical, and efficient manner, and in
accordance with the provisions in this Agreement, and all applicable laws. The Project will be performed in accordance with
all applicable Department procedures, guidelines, manuals, standards, and directives as described in the Department's
Local Agency Program Manual (FDOT Topic No. 525-010-300),which by this reference is made a part of this Agreement.
Time is of the essence as to each and every obligation under this Agreement.

b. Once the Department issues the NTP for the Project, the Recipient shall be obligated to submit an invoice
or other request for reimbursement to the Department no less than once every 90 days (quarterly),
beginning from the day the NTP is issued. If the Recipient fails to submit quarterly invoices to the
Department, and in the event the failure to timely submit invoices to the Department results in the FHWA
removing any unbilled funding or the loss of state appropriation authority (which may include the loss of
state and federal funds, if there are state funds programmed to the Project),then the Recipient will be solely
responsible to provide all funds necessary to complete the Project and the Department will not be obligated
to provide any additional funding for the Project. The Recipient waives the right to contest such removal of
funds by the Department, if the removal is related to FHWA's withdrawal of funds or if the removal is related
to the loss of state appropriation authority. In addition to the loss of funding for the Project, the Department
will also consider the de-certification of the Recipient for future LAP Projects. No cost may be incurred
under this Agreement until after the Recipient has received a written NTP from the Department. The
Recipient agrees to advertise or put the Project out to bid thirty (30) days from the date the Department
issues the NTP to advertise the Project. If the Recipient is not able to meet the scheduled advertisement,
the Department District LAP Administrator should be notified as soon as possible.
c. If all funds are removed from the Project, including amounts previously billed to the Department and
reimbursed to the Recipient, and the Project is off the State Highway System, then the Department will
have to request repayment for the previously billed amounts from the Recipient. No state funds can be
used on off-system projects, unless authorized pursuant to Exhibit"I", State Funds Addendum, which will
be attached to and incorporated in this Agreement in the event state funds are used on the Project.
d. In the event that any election, referendum, approval, permit, notice or other proceeding or authorization is
required under applicable law to enable the Recipient to enter into this Agreement or to undertake the
Project or to observe, assume or carry out any of the provisions of the Agreement, the Recipient will initiate
and consummate, as provided by law, all actions necessary with respect to any such matters.
e. The Recipient shall initiate and prosecute to completion all proceedings necessary, including Federal-aid
requirements, to enable the Recipient to provide the necessary funds for completion of the Project.
f. The Recipient shall submit to the Department such data, reports, records, contracts, and other documents
relating to the Project as the Department and FHWA may require. The Recipient shall make such
submissions using Department-designated information systems.
g. Federal-aid funds shall not participate in any cost which is not incurred in conformity with applicable federal
and state laws, the regulations in 23 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.)and 49 C.F.R., and policies and
procedures prescribed by the Division Administrator of FHWA. Federal funds shall not be paid on account
of any cost incurred prior to authorization by FHWA to the Department to proceed with the Project or part
thereof involving such cost (23 C.F.R. 1.9 (a)). If FHWA or the Department determines that any amount

claimed is not eligible, federal participation may be approved in the amount determined to be adequately
supported and the Department shall notify the Recipient in writing citing the reasons why items and amounts
are not eligible for federal participation. Where correctable non-compliance with provisions of law or FHWA
requirements exists federal funds may be withheld until compliance is obtained. Where non-compliance is
not correctable, FHWA or the Department may deny participation in parcel or Project costs in part or in
total. For any amounts determined to be ineligible for federal reimbursement for which the Department has
advanced payment, the Recipient shall promptly reimburse the Department for all such amounts within 90
days of written notice.
h. For any project requiring additional right-of-way, the Recipient must submit to the Department an annual
report of its real property acquisition and relocation assistance activities on the project. Activities shall be
reported on a federal fiscal year basis,from October 1 through September 30. The report must be prepared
using the format prescribed in 49 C.F.R. Part 24, Appendix B, and be submitted to the Department no later
than October 15 of each year.

b. The Recipient, a non-federal entity as defined by 2 CFR Part 200, as a subrecipient of a federal award awarded by
the Department through this Agreement is subject to the following requirements:
i. In the event the Recipient expends a total amount of federal awards equal to or in excess of the threshold
established by 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F —Audit Requirements, the Recipient must have a federal single or
program-specific audit for such fiscal year conducted in accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR Part 200,
Subpart F — Audit Requirements. Exhibit "E" to this Agreement provides the required federal award
identification information needed by the Recipient to further comply with the requirements of 2 CFR Part 200,
Subpart F—Audit Requirements. In determining federal awards expended in a fiscal year, the Recipient must
consider all sources of federal awards based on when the activity related to the federal award occurs, including
the federal award provided through the Department by this Agreement.The determination of amounts of federal
awards expended should be in accordance with the guidelines established by 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F —
Audit Requirements. An audit conducted by the State of Florida Auditor General in accordance with the
provisions of 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F—Audit Requirements, will meet the requirements of this part.

However, the Recipient must provide a single audit exemption statement to the Department at
FDOTSingleAudit dot.state.fl.us no later than nine months after the end of the Recipient's audit period for
each applicable audit year. In the event the Recipient expends less than the threshold established by 2 CFR
Part 200, Subpart F — Audit Requirements, in federal awards in a fiscal year and elects to have an audit
conducted in accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F—Audit Requirements, the cost of

Subpart F —Audit Requirements, and this Agreement. However, the Department requires a copy of the audit
reporting package also be submitted to FDOTSingleAudit dot.state.fl.us within the earlier of 30 calendar days
after receipt of the auditor's report(s)or nine months after the end of the audit period as required by 2 CFR Part
200, Subpart F—Audit Requirements.
V. Within six months of acceptance of the audit report by the FAC, the Department will review the Recipient's audit
reporting package, including corrective action plans and management letters, to the extent necessary to
determine whether timely and appropriate action on all deficiencies has been taken pertaining to the federal
award provided through the Department by this Agreement. If the Recipient fails to have an audit conducted in
accordance with 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F — Audit Requirements, the Department may impose additional
conditions to remedy noncompliance. If the Department determines that noncompliance cannot be remedied
by imposing additional conditions, the Department may take appropriate actions to enforce compliance, which
actions may include but not be limited to the following:

or more severe enforcement action by the Department;
2. Disallow (deny both use of funds and any applicable matching credit for) all or part of the
cost of the activity or action not in compliance;
3. Wholly or partly suspend or terminate the federal award;

CONTRACT PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS
Florida Department of Financial Services, Reference Guide for State Expenditures
Cost Reimbursement Contracts
Invoices for cost reimbursement contracts must be supported by an itemized listing of
expenditures by category (salary, travel, expenses, etc.). Supporting documentation shall
be submitted for each amount for which reimbursement is being claimed indicating that
the item has been paid. Documentation for each amount for which reimbursement is
being claimed must indicate that the item has been paid. Check numbers may be provided
in lieu of copies of actual checks. Each piece of documentation should clearly reflect the
dates of service. Only expenditures for categories in the approved agreement budget may
be reimbursed. These expenditures must be allowable (pursuant to law) and directly
related to the services being provided.
Listed below are types and examples of supporting documentation for cost
reimbursement agreements-
Salaries: Timesheets that support the hours worked on the project or activity must be
kept. A payroll register, or similar documentation should be maintained. The payroll
register should show gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay.
If an individual for whom reimbursement is being claimed is paid by the hour, a document
reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be acceptable.
Fringe benefits: Fringe benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount
paid on behalf of the employee, e.g., insurance premiums paid. If the contract specifically
states that fringe benefits will be based on a specified percentage rather than the actual
cost of fringe benefits, then the calculation for the fringe benefits amount must be shown.
Exception- Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies of
checks for fringe benefits.
Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with s. 112.061, F.S., which
includes submission of the claim on the approved state travel voucher along with
supporting receipts and invoices.
Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts and
proof of payment processing (cancelled/processed checks and bank statements). If
nonexpendable property is purchased using state funds, the contract should include a
provision for the transfer of the property to the State when services are terminated.
Documentation must be provided to show compliance with DMS Rule 60A-1.017, F.A.C.,
regarding the requirements for contracts which include services and that provide for the
contractor to purchase tangible personal property as defined in s. 273.02, F.S., for
subsequent transfer to the State.
Indirect costs: If the contract stipulates that indirect costs will be paid based on a
specified rate, then the calculation should be shown. Indirect costs must be in the
approved agreement budget and the entity must be able to demonstrate that the costs
are not duplicated elsewhere as direct costs. All indirect cost rates must be evaluated for
reasonableness and for allowability and must be allocated consistently.

or other detailed reports.
