paid, or which the Local Government is agreeable to paying to the State, will be
credited against EMP work to be performed by the Local Government. If applicable,
this credit(s) will be reflected in Attachment D to this Agreement.
d. Responsibilities of the Local Government on EMP(s).
(1) The Local Government shall be responsible for all engineering and construction,
and related costs thereto, and complying with all applicable state and federal
environmental regulations and permitting requirements.
(2) The structural or safety improvement work on the EMP(s) shall be performed
subsequent to the final execution of this Agreement but within three (3) calendar
years after the earliest contract award of the related PWP(s).
(3) Written documentation, suitable for audit, of the structural or safety improvement
work completed on the EMP(s) shall be kept on file by the Local Government for
four (4) years after completion of work or claims, lawsuits, or audits related
thereto, whichever is longer. A notice of completion of work on the EMP(s) shall
be delivered to the State's District Engineer no later than thirty (30) calendar days
after work is completed on the EMP(s).
(4) Failure by the Local Government to adequately complete the EMP(s) within the
stated three-year period shall result in the Local Government being excluded from
receiving such waivers for a minimum of five (5) years.

eligible program costs, the Local Government shall pay the State 100 percent of the
cost of any PWP item or portion of a cost item that is not eligible for federal or state
participation, and 100 percent of the costs resulting from additional work on the PWP
