01/23/03 TED DIR.FOR 10/6/22                 4
        Based upon the final cost of the PROJECT and/or a request by the REQUESTING

eligible items of the PROJECT COST such that the total amount of TED FUNDS does not
exceed the grant amount. The REQUESTING PARTY shall certify all actual costs incurred for
work performed under this contract that are eligible for payment with TED FUNDS and will be
required to repay any TED FUNDS it received in excess of 45 percent of the total of such costs.

        6.      The REQUESTING PARTY shall establish and maintain adequate records and
accounts relative to the cost of the PROJECT. Said records shall be retained for a period of three
(3) years after completion of construction of the PROJECT and shall be available for audit by the
DEPARTMENT. In the event of a dispute with regard to allowable expenses or any other issue
under this contract, the REQUESTING PARTY shall continue to maintain the records at least
until that dispute has been finally decided and the time after all available challenges or appeals of
that decision has expired.

       The DEPARTMENT, or its representative, may inspect, copy, or audit the records at any
reasonable time after giving reasonable notice.

       The REQUESTING PARTY, within six (6) months of completion of the PROJECT and
payment of all items of PROJECT COST related thereto, shall make a final reporting of
construction costs to the DEPARTMENT and certify that the PROJECT has been constructed in
accordance with the PROJECT plans, specifications, and construction contract.

       In the event that an audit performed by or on behalf of the DEPARTMENT indicates an
adjustment to the costs reported under this contract or questions the allowability of an item of
expense, the DEPARTMENT shall promptly submit to the REQUESTING PARTY a Notice of
Audit Results and a copy of the audit report which may supplement or modify any tentative
findings verbally communicated to the REQUESTING PARTY at the completion of an audit.

        Within sixty (60) days after the date of the Notice of Audit Results, the REQUESTING
PARTY shall: (a) respond in writing to the responsible Bureau or the DEPARTMENT indicating
whether or not it concurs with the audit report, (b) clearly explain the nature and basis for any
disagreement as to a disallowed item of expense, and (c) submit to the DEPARTMENT a written
explanation as to any questioned or no opinion expressed item of expense, hereinafter referred to
as the "RESPONSE". The RESPONSE shall be clearly stated and provide any supporting
documentation necessary to resolve any disagreement or questioned or no opinion expressed
item of expense. Where the documentation is voluminous, the REQUESTING PARTY may
supply appropriate excerpts and make alternate arrangements to conveniently and reasonably
make that documentation available for review by the DEPARTMENT. The RESPONSE shall
refer to and apply the language of the contract. The REQUESTING PARTY agrees that failure
to submit a RESPONSE within the sixty (60) day period constitutes agreement with any
disallowance of an item of expense and authorizes the DEPARTMENT to finally disallow any
items of questioned or no opinion expressed cost.



01/23/03 TEDDIR.FOR 10/6/22                       5
        The DEPARTMENT shall make its decision with regard to any Notice of Audit Results
and RESPONSE within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Notice of Audit
Results. If the DEPARTMENT determines that an overpayment has been made to the
REQUESTING PARTY, the REQUESTING PARTY shall repay that amount to the
DEPARTMENT or reach agreement with the DEPARTMENT on a repayment schedule within
thirty (30) days after the date of an invoice from the DEPARTMENT. If the REQUESTING
PARTY fails to repay the overpayment or reach agreement with the DEPARTMENT on a
repayment schedule within the thirty (30) day period, the REQUESTING PARTY agrees that the
DEPARTMENT shall deduct all or a portion of the overpayment from any funds then or
thereafter payable by the DEPARTMENT to the REQUESTING PARTY under this contract or
any other agreement, or payable to the REQUESTING PARTY under the terms of 1951 PA 51,
as applicable. Interest will be assessed on any partial payments or repayment schedules based on
the unpaid balance at the end of each month until the balance is paid in full. The rate of interest
will be based on the Michigan Department of Treasury common cash funds interest earnings.
The rate of interest will be reviewed annually by the DEPARTMENT and adjusted as necessary
based on the Michigan Department of Treasury common cash funds interest earnings. The
REQUESTING PARTY expressly consents to this withholding or offsetting of funds under those
circumstances, reserving the right to file a lawsuit in the Court of Claims to contest the
DEPARTMENT'S decision only as to any item of expense the disallowance of which was
disputed by the REQUESTING PARTY in a timely filed RESPONSE.

      The REQUESTING PARTY shall comply with the Single Audit Act of 1984, P.L.
998-502 and applicable State laws and regulations relative to audit requirements.

       7.      Upon completion of construction of the PROJECT, the REQUESTING PARTY
will cause to be enacted and enforced such ordinances or regulations as may be necessary to
prohibit parking in the roadway right-of-way throughout the limits of the PROJECT.

         8.      The REQUESTING PARTY certifies that it is not aware if and has no reason to
believe that the property on which the work is to be performed under this agreement is a facility,
as defined by the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act [(NREPA), PA
451, 1994, as amended 2012]; MCL 324.2010l(l)(s). The REQUESTING PARTY also
certifies that it is not a liable party pursuant to either Part 201 or Part 213 of NREPA, MCL
324.20126 et seq. and MCL 324.21323a et seq. The REQUESTING PARTY is a local unit of
government that has acquired or will acquire property for the use of either a transportation
corridor or public right-of-way and was not responsible for any activities causing a release or
threat of release of any hazardous materials at or on the property. The REQUESTING PARTY
is not a person who is liable for response activity costs, pursuant to MCL 324.20 IO 1 (vv) and
(ww).

        9.     If, subsequent to execution of this contract, previously unknown hazardous
substances are discovered within the PROJECT limits, which require environmental remediation
pursuant to either State or federal law, the REQUESTING PARTY, in addition to reporting that
fact to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy , shall immediately


01/23/03 TEDDIR.FOR 10/6/22                      6
notify the DEPARTMENT, both orally and in writing of such discovery. The DEPARTMENT
shall consult with the REQUESTING PARTY to determine if it is willing to pay for the cost of
remediation and to determine the eligibility, for reimbursement, of the remediation costs. The
REQUESTING PARTY shall pay all costs associated with such remediation, including all delay
costs of the contractor for the PROJECT. If the REQUESTING PARTY refuses to participate in
the cost of remediation, the amount of TED FUNDS the REQUESTING PARTY received from
Grant #1009 shall be forfeited back to the DEPARTMENT.

        10.    If State funds administered by the DEPARTMENT are used to pay the cost of
remediating any hazardous substances discovered after the execution of this contract and if there
is a reasonable likelihood of recove1y, the REQUESTING PARTY, in cooperation with the
Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy and the DEPARTMENT, shall
make a diligent effort to recover such costs from all other possible entities. If recovery is made,
the DEPARTMENT shall be reimbursed from such recove1y for the proportionate share of the
amount paid by the DEPARTMENT and the DEPARTMENT shall credit such sums to the
appropriate funding source.

     11.  The DEPARTMENT'S sole reason for entering into this contract is to enable the

                               APPENDIX A
            PROHIBITION OF DISCRIMINATION IN STATE CONTRACTS

In connection with the performance of work under this contract; the contractor agrees as follows:

I.     In accordance with Public Act 453 of 1976 (Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act), the
       contractor shall not discriminate against an employee or applicant for employment with
       respect to hire, tenure, treatment, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment or a
       matter directly or indirectly related to employment because of race, color, religion,
       national origin, age, sex, height, weight, or marital status. A breach of this covenant will
       be regarded as a material breach of this contract. Further, in accordance with Public Act
       220 of 1976 (Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act), as amended by Public Act 478
       of 1980, the contractor shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
       employment with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment
       or a matter directly or indirectly related to employment because of a disability that is
       unrelated to the individual's ability to perform the duties of a particular job or position. A
       breach of the above covenants will be regarded as a material breach of this contract.

2.     The contractor hereby agrees that any and all subcontracts to this contract, whereby a
       portion of the work set forth in this contract is to be performed, shall contain a covenant
       the same as hereinabove set forth in Section 1 of this Appendix.

3.     The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants for employment and
       employees are treated without regard to their race, color, religion, national origin, age,
       sex, height, weight, marital status, or any disability that is unrelated to the individual's
       ability to perform the duties of a particular job or position. Such action shall include, but
       not be limited to, the following: employment; treatment; upgrading; demotion or transfer;
       recruitment; advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of
       compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship.

4.     The contractor shall, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on
       behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for
       employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, height,
       weight, marital status, or disability that is unrelated to the individual's ability to perform
       the duties of a particular job or position.

5.     The contractor or its collective bargaining representative shall send to each labor union or
       representative of workers with which the contractor has a collective bargaining
       agreement or other contract or understanding a notice advising such labor union or
       workers' representative of the contractor's commitments under this Appendix.

6.     The contractor shall comply with all relevant published rules, regulations, directives, and
       orders of the Michigan Civil Rights Commission that may be in effect prior to the taking
       of bids for any individual state project.
7.   The contractor shall furnish and file compliance reports within such time and upon such
     forms as provided by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission; said forms may also elicit
     information as to the practices, policies, program, and employment statistics of each
     subcontractor, as well as the contractor itself, and said contractor shall permit access to
     the contractor's books, records, and accounts by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission
     and/or its agent for the purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance under this
     contract and relevant rules, regulations, and orders of the Michigan Civil Rights
     Commission.

8.   In the event that the Michigan Civil Rights Commission finds, after a hearing held
     pursuant to its rules, that a contractor has not complied with the contractual obligations
     under this contract, the Michigan Civil Rights Commission may, as a part of its order
     based upon such findings, ce1iify said findings to the State Administrative Board of the
     State of Michigan, which State Administrative Board may order the cancellation of the
     contract found to have been violated and/or declare the contractor ineligible for future
     contracts with the state and its political and civil subdivisions, departments, and officers,
     including the governing boards of institutions of higher education, until the contractor
     complies with said order of the Michigan Civil Rights Commission. Notice of said
     declaration of future ineligibility may be given to any or all of the persons with whom the
     contractor is declared ineligible to contract as a contracting pa1iy in future contracts. In
     any case before the Michigan Civil Rights Commission in which cancellation of an ·
     existing contract is a possibility, the contracting agency shall be notified of such possible
     remedy and shall be given the option by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission to
     participate in such proceedings.

9.   The contractor shall include or incorporate by reference, the provisions of the foregoing
     paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by
     rules, regulations, or orders of the Michigan Civil Rights Commission; all subcontracts
     and purchase orders will also state that said provisions will be binding upon each
     subcontractor or supplier.


                                                                             Revised June 2011
