compliance with the applicable requirements of the “Local Projects Manual (LPM)” (available through
NYSDOT’s web site at https://www.dot.ny.gov/plafap, and as such may be amended from time to time.
3.
Municipal/Sponsor Deposit. Where the work is performed by consultant or construction contract
entered into with NYSDOT, or by NYSDOT forces, and unless the total non-Federal share of the Project
phase is under $5,000, the Municipality/Sponsor shall deposit with the State Comptroller, prior to the
award of NYSDOT's contract or NYSDOT's performance of work by its own forces, the full amount of the
non-Federal share of the Project costs due in accordance with Schedule A.
4.
Payment or Reimbursement of Costs. For work performed by NYSDOT, NYSDOT will directly
apply Federal aid and the required Municipality/Sponsor Deposit for the non-Federally aided portion,
and, if applicable, shall request State Comptroller funding of Marchiselli aid to the Municipality/Sponsor
as described below. For work performed by or through the Municipality/Sponsor, NYSDOT will
reimburse the Municipality/Sponsor with Federal aid and, if applicable, Marchiselli aid as described
below. NYSDOT will periodically make reimbursements upon request and certification by the Sponsor.
The frequency of reimbursement requests must be in conformance with that stipulated in the NYSDOT
Standard Specifications; Construction and Materials (section 109-06, Contract Payments). NYSDOT
recommends that reimbursement requests not be submitted more frequently than monthly for a typical
project. In all cases, reimbursement requests must be submitted at least once every six months.
4.1 Federal aid. NYSDOT will administer Federal funds for the benefit of the Municipality/Sponsor
for the Federal share and will fund the applicable percentage designated in Schedule A of Federal
aid participating costs incurred in connection with the work covered by this Agreement, subject to
the limitations set forth on Schedule A. For work performed by or through the
Municipality/Sponsor, NYSDOT will reimburse Federal aid-eligible expenditures in accordance
with NYSDOT policy and procedures.
4.1.1 Participating Items. NYSDOT shall apply Federal funds only for that work and
those items that are eligible for Federal participation under Title 23 of U.S. Code, as
amended, that requires Federal aid eligible projects to be located on the Federal Aid
Highway System ("FAHS"), except for bridge and safety projects which can be located off

employee personal services, and leave and fringe benefit additives. Other participating
costs include materials and supplies, equipment use charges or other Federal
Participating costs directly identifiable with the eligible project.
4.2
Marchiselli Aid (if applicable). NYSDOT will request State Comptroller reimbursement to the
Municipality of the upset amount and designated percentage in Schedule A of the non-overmatched
non-Federal share of Federal participating cost, (the "State share"), incurred in connection with the work
covered by this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth on Schedule A. Not all Federal aid-
eligible participating costs are eligible for Marchiselli aid. Only "Eligible Project Costs" (as defined in

4.2.2 Marchiselli Reimbursement Requests. A Sponsor’s reimbursement requests are
restricted to eligible project costs. To be classified as an “eligible project cost”, in
addition to other requirements of this agreement, the original expenditure must
have been paid within the past 15 months in order to comply with Federal Tax
Law (26 CFR 1.150-2 (d)(2)(i)) which governs fund disbursements from the
issuance of tax-exempt bonds. Hence, expenditures paid greater than 15 months
prior to the reimbursement request are ineligible for reimbursement.
4.2.3 Marchiselli Extended Records Retention Requirements.
4.2.3.1
To ensure that NYSDOT meets certain requirements under the Code
of Federal Regulations, Part 26, and to ensure that NYSDOT may

following documents in connection with the Projects:
a) Documents evidencing the specific assets financed with such
proceeds, including but not limited to project costs, and
documents evidencing the use and ownership of the property
financed with proceeds of the bonds; and
b) Documents, if any, evidencing the sale or other disposition of
the financed property.
4.2.3.2
The Sponsor covenants to retain those records described above, which
are used by the Sponsor in connection with the administration of this
Program, for thirty-six (36) years after the date of NYSDOT’s final
payment of the eligible project cost(s).
4.2.3.3
Failure to maintain such records in a manner that ensures complete
access thereto, for the period described above, shall constitute a
material breach of the contract and may, at the discretion of NYSDOT,
result in loss of funds allocated, or the Sponsor’s repayment of funds
distributed, to the Sponsor under this agreement.
4.3
In no event shall the State be obligated to fund or reimburse any costs exceeding:
(a) the amount stated in Schedule A for the Federal Share; or
(b) the amount stated in Schedule A as the State (Marchiselli) share.
4.4
All items included by the Municipality/Sponsor in the record of costs shall be in conformity
with accounting procedures acceptable to NYSDOT and the FHWA. Such items shall be subject
to audit by the State, the federal government or their representatives.
4.5
If Project-related work is performed by NYSDOT, NYSDOT will be paid for the full costs
thereof.
To
affect
such
payment,
the
reimbursement
to
the
Municipality/Sponsor
provided for in sections 4.1 and 4.2 above may be reduced by NYSDOT by the amounts thereof
in excess of the Municipality/Sponsor Deposit available for such payment to NYSDOT.

reenacted, as to funds encumbered or available and to the extent of such encumbrances or
availabilities, this Agreement shall remain in effect for the duration of such encumbrances or
availabilities. Although the liquidity of encumbrances or the availability of funds may be affected by
budgetary hiatuses, a Federal or State budgetary hiatus will not by itself be construed to cause a lapse
in this Agreement provided any necessary Federal or State appropriations or other funding
authorizations therefore are eventually enacted.
13.1 Time is of the essence (Bridge NY Projects). The Municipality/Sponsor understands and
agrees that construction of Bridge NY Projects shall commence no later than twenty-four (24)

employees, to undertake or perform any act, or for undertaking or performing any act, which is not
specifically required or prohibited by this Agreement.

incorporated Appendix A, Standard Clauses for New York Contracts, NYSDOT shall be entitled to

indirect costs to the State as to paragraph 6 above, as well as any direct or indirect costs incurred by
the State for any breach of the term of this agreement, including, but not limited to, the useful life
requirements in paragraph 9 above. At its sole discretion NYSDOT shall have the option to
permanently withhold and offset such direct and indirect cost against any monies due to the
Municipality/Sponsor from the State of New York for any other reason, from any other source, including
but not limited to, any other Federal or State Local Project Funding, and/or any Consolidated Highway

seq.) or regulations thereunder. If such Contractor, or any of
the aforesaid affiliates of Contractor, is convicted or is
otherwise found to have violated said laws or regulations upon
the final determination of the United States Commerce
Department or any other appropriate agency of the United
States subsequent to the contract's execution, such contract,
amendment or modification thereto shall be rendered forfeit
and void. The Contractor shall so notify the State Comptroller
within five (5) business days of such conviction, determination
or disposition of appeal (2 NYCRR § 105.4).
9. SET-OFF RIGHTS. The State shall have all of its
common law, equitable and statutory rights of set-off. These
rights shall include, but not be limited to, the State's option to
withhold for the purposes of set-off any moneys due to the

owing to the State with regard to this contract, any other
contract with any State department or agency, including any
contract for a term commencing prior to the term of this
contract, plus any amounts due and owing to the State for any
other reason including, without limitation, tax delinquencies,
fee delinquencies or monetary penalties relative thereto. The

audit, the finalization of such audit by the State agency, its
representatives, or the State Comptroller.
10. RECORDS. The Contractor shall establish and maintain
complete and accurate books, records, documents, accounts
and other evidence directly pertinent to performance under
this contract (hereinafter, collectively, the "Records"). The
Records must be kept for the balance of the calendar year in
which they were made and for six (6) additional years
thereafter. The State Comptroller, the Attorney General and
any other person or entity authorized to conduct an
examination, as well as the agency or agencies involved in this
contract, shall have access to the Records during normal
business hours at an office of the Contractor within the State
of New York or, if no such office is available, at a mutually
agreeable and reasonable venue within the State, for the term
specified above for the purposes of inspection, auditing and
copying. The State shall take reasonable steps to protect from
public disclosure any of the Records which are exempt from
disclosure under Section 87 of the Public Officers Law (the
"Statute") provided that: (i) the Contractor shall timely inform
an appropriate State official, in writing, that said records
should not be disclosed; and (ii) said records shall be
sufficiently identified; and (iii) designation of said records as
exempt under the Statute is reasonable. Nothing contained
herein shall diminish, or in any way adversely affect, the
State's right to discovery in any pending or future litigation.
11. IDENTIFYING INFORMATION AND PRIVACY
NOTIFICATION. (a) Identification Number(s). Every
invoice or New York State Claim for Payment submitted to a
New York State agency by a payee, for payment for the sale of
goods or services or for transactions (e.g., leases, easements,
licenses, etc.) related to real or personal property must include
the payee's identification number. The number is any or all of
the following: (i) the payee’s Federal employer identification
number, (ii) the payee’s Federal social security number, and/or
(iii) the payee’s Vendor Identification Number assigned by the
Statewide Financial System. Failure to include such number
or numbers may delay payment. Where the payee does not
have such number or numbers, the payee, on its invoice or
Claim for Payment, must give the reason or reasons why the
payee does not have such number or numbers.
(b) Privacy Notification. (1) The authority to request the
above personal information from a seller of goods or services
or a lessor of real or personal property, and the authority to
maintain such information, is found in Section 5 of the State
Tax Law. Disclosure of this information by the seller or lessor
to the State is mandatory. The principal purpose for which the
information is collected is to enable the State to identify
individuals, businesses and others who have been delinquent
in filing tax returns or may have understated their tax
liabilities and to generally identify persons affected by the
taxes administered by the Commissioner of Taxation and
Finance. The information will be used for tax administration
purposes and for any other purpose authorized by law. (2) The
personal information is requested by the purchasing unit of the

REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERALLY-AIDED TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
(June 2016)
There is a substantial body of requirements attached to the use of Federal highway or
transportation aid. These requirements create or overlay processes, procedures, documentation
requirements, authorizations, approvals and certifications that may be substantially greater or
different from those that are not funded with Federal-aid and proceed under applicable State
and local laws, customs and practices. Under Title 23 of the United States Code, the New York
State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is responsible for the administration of
transportation projects in New York State to which NYSDOT provides Federal highway or
transportation-related aid. Through this Agreement, which provides or is associated with such
funding, NYSDOT delegates various elements of project and funding administration as
described elsewhere in this Agreement. In undertaking a Federally aided project, the
Municipality/Sponsor, Authority or Project Manager designated under this Agreement with
Federal-aid funding or project administration agrees to proceed in compliance with all the
applicable Federal-aid requirements.
NYSDOT, in cooperation with FHWA, has assembled the body of Federal-aid requirements,
procedures and practices in its Procedures for Locally Administered Federal-Aid Projects
Manual (available through NYSDOT’s web site at: http://www.dot.ny.gov/plafap). In addition, the
Municipality/Sponsor, Authority or Project Manager designated under this Agreement for
Federal-aid funding or project administration that enters into Federally aided project construction
contracts is required to physically incorporate into all its Federally aided construction contracts
and subcontracts there under the provisions that are contained in Form FHWA-1273 (available
from NYSDOT or electronically at: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/programadmin/contracts/1273.htm).

Agreement, the Municipality/Sponsors contractors or subcontractors shall not discriminate
against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, age, color, sex
or national origin. Such contractors shall take affirmative actions to ensure that applicants
are employed, and that employees are treated during their employment, without regard to
their race, religion, color, sex, national origin or age. Such actions shall include, but not be
limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or
recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation;

opportunity to compete for subcontract work under this Agreement. Also, in this connection
the Municipality or Municipality/Sponsor shall cause its contractors to undertake such
actions as may be necessary to comply with 49 CFR Part 26.
As a sub-recipient under 49 CFR Part 26.13, the Municipality/Sponsor hereby makes the
following assurance.

all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in
the award and administration of the United States Department of Transportation-assisted
contracts. The New York State Department of Transportation’s DBE program, as required
by 49 CFR Part 26 and as approved by the United States Department of Transportation, is
incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of this program is a legal
obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this agreement.
Upon notification to the recipient of its failure to carry out its approved program, the USDOT
may impose sanctions as provided for under part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer
the matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies
Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.).

Audit Bureau, failure to comply with the requirements of OMB Circular A-133 may result in
suspension or termination of Federal award payments.
1 The designated cognizant agency for audit shall be the federal awarding agency that provides the predominant
amount of direct funding to a recipient unless OMB changes it.

PROMPT PAYMENT MECHANISMS
In accordance with 49 CFR 26.29, and NY State Finance Law 139-f or NY General Municipal
Law 106-b(2) as applicable:
(a) You must establish, as part of your DBE program, a contract clause to require prime
contractors to pay subcontractors for satisfactory performance of their contracts no later than 7
calendar days from receipt of each payment you make to the prime contractor.
(b) You must ensure prompt and full payment of retainage from the prime contractor to the
subcontractor within 7 calendar days after the subcontractor's work is satisfactorily completed.
You must use one of the following methods to comply with this requirement:
(1) You may decline to hold retainage from prime contractors and prohibit prime
contractors from holding retainage from subcontractors.
(2) You may decline to hold retainage from prime contractors and require a contract
clause obligating prime contractors to make prompt and full payment of any retainage kept by
2 http://www.cfda.gov/
prime contractor to the subcontractor within 7 calendar days after the subcontractor's work is
satisfactorily completed.
(3) You may hold retainage from prime contractors and provide for prompt and regular
incremental acceptances of portions of the prime contract, pay retainage to prime contractors
based on these acceptances, and require a contract clause obligating the prime contractor to
pay all retainage owed to the subcontractor for satisfactory completion of the accepted work
within 7 calendar days after your payment to the prime contractor.
(c) For purposes of this section, a subcontractor's work is satisfactorily completed when all the
tasks called for in the subcontract have been accomplished and documented as required by the
recipient. When a recipient has made an incremental acceptance of a portion of a prime
contract, the work of a subcontractor covered by that acceptance is deemed to be satisfactorily
completed.
(d) Your DBE program must provide appropriate means to enforce the requirements of this
section. These means may include appropriate penalties for failure to comply, the terms and
conditions of which you set. Your program may also provide that any delay or postponement of
payment among the parties may take place only for good cause, with your prior written
approval.
(e) You may also establish, as part of your DBE program, any of the following additional
mechanisms to ensure prompt payment:
(1) A contract clause that requires prime contractors to include in their subcontracts language
providing that prime contractors and subcontractors will use appropriate alternative dispute
resolution mechanisms to resolve payment disputes. You may specify the nature of such
mechanisms.
(2) A contract clause providing that the prime contractor will not be reimbursed for work
performed by subcontractors unless and until the prime contractor ensures that the
subcontractors are promptly paid for the work they have performed.
(3) Other mechanisms, consistent with this part and applicable state and local law, to ensure
that DBEs and other contractors are fully and promptly paid.
