subject to the conditions specified in paragraph B hereunder. If Attachment E, Traffic Safety Project
Page 2 of 12
TxDOT Form 1854 (rev. 712012004)
Attachment B
Project Title: STEP Wave
Subgrantee: City of University Park
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 Attachment E, Traffic Safety Project Budget.
The Subgrantee's expenditures may overrun a budget category (I, II, or ill) in 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.
If the overrun is five (5) percent or less, the Subgrantee must provide written notification to the
Department prior to the Request for Reimbursement being approved. This notification must be in the
form of an attachment to the Request for Reimbursement that covers the period of the overrun. This
attachment must indicate the amount, the percent over, and the specific reason(s) for the overrun.
Any overrun of more than five (5) percent of the amount eligible for reimbursement (TxDOT) in the
attached Project Budget requires an amendment of this Grant Agreement.
The maximum amount eligible for reimbursement shall not be increased above the Grand Total
TxDOT Amount in the approved Project Budget, unless this Grant Agreement is amended, as
described in Article 5 of this Agreement.
For Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grants only: In Attachment E of the Grant
Agreement, Traffic Safety Project Budget (Form 2077-LE), 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 5 percent flexibility, with underrun funds from Budget Categories II or
ill.
C. To be eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement, a cost must be incurred in accordance with
Attachment E, Traffic Safety Project Budget, within the time frame specified in the Grant Period on
page 1 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.
D. Federal or TxDOT funds cannot supplant (replace) funds from any other sources. The term
"supplanting," refers to the use of federal or TxDOT funds to support personnel or an activity already
supported by local or state funds.

properly prepared and documented Requests for Reimbursement. Payments, however, are contingent
upon the availability of appropriated funds.
I. Project agreements supported with federal or TxDOT funds are limited to the length of this Grant
Period, which is specified on page I of this Grant Agreement. If the Department determines that the

will not be performed before a written grant amendment is executed.
If the Subgrantee has submitted work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement but the Department
requests changes to the completed work or parts thereof which involve changes to the original scope of
services or character of work under this Agreement, the Subgrantee shall make such revisions as
requested and directed by the Department. This will be considered as additional work and will be paid
for as specified in this Article.

between the Subgrantee and the program or project manager.
For Selective Traffic Enforcement Programs (STEPs), performance reports must be submitted monthly.
The performance report will include, as a minimum: (I) a comparison of actual accomplishments to the
objectives established for the period, (2) reasons why established objectives and performance measures
were not met, if appropriate, and (3) other pertinent information, including, when appropriate, an analysis
and explanation of cost underruns, overruns, or high unit costs.
The Subgrantee shall submit the Final Performance and Administrative Evaluation Report electronically
within thirty (30) days after completion of the grant.
The Subgrantee shall promptly advise the Department in writing of events that will have a significant
impact upon this Agreement, including:
A. 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.

pending litigation has been completely and fully resolved, whichever occurs last.
Duly authorized representatives of the Department, the USDOT, the Office of the Inspector General,
Texas State Auditor, and the Comptroller General shall have access to the records. This right of access is
not limited to the four (4) year period but shall last as long as the records are retained.
ARTICLE 9. INDEMNIFICATION
To the extent permitted by law, the Subgrantee, if other than a government entity, shall indemnify, hold,
and save harmless the Department and its officers and employees from all claims and liability due to the
acts or omissions of the Subgrantee, its agents, or employees. The Subgrantee also agrees, to the extent
permitted by law, to indemnify, hold, and save harmless the Department from any and all expenses,
including but not limited to attorney fees, all court costs and awards for damages incurred by the
Department in litigation or otherwise resisting such claims or liabilities as a result of any activities of the

Further, to the extent permitted by law, the Subgrantee, if other than a government entity, agrees to
protect, indemnify, and save harmless the Department from and against all claims, demands, and causes
of action of every kind and character brought by any employee of the Subgrantee against the Department
due to personal injuries or death to such employee resulting from any alleged negligent act, by either
commission or omission on the part of the Subgrantee.
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.

Description of Activities
Description of Activities
Pre-Survevs
Conduct pre-observational surveys for each Wave period to establish safety belt usage rates
and/or speed limit compliance prior to conducting any wave enforcement activity. Surveys are
only applicable to STEP Wave grants consisting of Occupant Protection and/or Speeding
components.
Pre-Media Campaign
Conduct local media events immediately before the enforcement effort to maximize the visibility
of enforcement to the public. These media events tell the public when, where, how and why the
safety belt and speed limit laws are being enforced. Media will emphasize the special target
groups of each wave effort, i.e. Child Passenger Safety Week, Buckle Up America Week, ClOT,
etc.
Enforcement Effort
Intensify enforcement through an overtime STEP that places primary emphasis on increasing the
number of citations for non-use of occupant restraints, and/or speeding, during the peak holiday
traffic.
Post-survevs
Conduct post-observational surveys for each Wave period to determine safety belt usage and/or
speed limit compliance. Measure the impact of media/enforcement effort. Surveys are only
applicable to STEP Wave grants consisting of Occupant Protection and/or Speeding components.
Post-media Campaign
Conduct local media events to tell the public why the safety belt and speed laws are important
and the results of the wave.
