its completion in accordance with the provisions of this Grant and in a timely manner, the State may
notify Grantee of such non - performance in accordance with the provisions herein. If Grantee thereafter
fails to promptly cure such non - performance within the cure period, the State, at its option, may
terminate this entire Grant or such part of this Grant as to which there has been delay or a failure to
properly perform. Exercise by the State of this right shall not be deemed a breach of its obligations
hereunder. Grantee shall continue performance of this Grant to the extent not terminated, if any.
i. Obligations and Rights
To the extent specified in any termination notice, Grantee shall not incur further obligations or
render further performance hereunder past the effective date of such notice, and shall terminate
outstanding orders and subgrants with third parties. However, Grantee shall complete and deliver

obligations as are necessary to do so within this Grant's terms. At the sole discretion of the State,
Grantee shall assign to the State all of Grantee's right, title, and interest under such terminated
orders or subgrants. Upon termination, Grantee shall take timely, reasonable and necessary
action to protect and preserve property in the possession of Grantee in which the State has an
interest. All materials owned by the State in the possession of Grantee shall be immediately
returned to the State. All Work Product, at the option of the State, shall be delivered by Grantee
to the State and shall become the State's property.

had been terminated in the public interest, as descrived herein.

obligations and rights set forth in §15(A)(i).
Payments

which bears the same ratio to the total reimbursement under this Grant as the Services
satisfactorily performed bear to the total Services covered by this Grant, less payments
previously made. Additionally, if this Grant is less than 60% completed, the State may reimburse
Grantee for a portion of actual out -of- pocket expenses (not otherwise reimbursed under this
Grant) incurred by Grantee which are directly attributable to the uncompleted portion of

EXHIBIT E — GRANTEE PAYMENT CHECKLIST
Grantee Payment Checklist 01/19/2011
This checklist is to assist the Grantee in preparation of its billing packets to CDOT. This checklist is
provided as guidance and is subject to change by CDOT. CDOT shall provide notice of any such changes
to Grantee. All items may not apply to your particular entity. CDOT's goal is to reimburse Grantees as
quickly as possible and a well organized and complete billing packet helps to expedite payment.
D Information to be included on the Invoice from the Grantee:
✓ PO Number
✓ WBS
✓ Section/Program Number
✓ Name
✓ Address
✓ Phone Number
✓ Invoice Number
✓ Billing Period
✓ Total Amount of Grant, Previous Grant Balance, Total Eligible Expenses, Federal Share, Local
Fund, New Grant Balance and Total Amount to be Reimbursed to Grantee
✓ Signature of Grantee Financial Representative

✓ Include a copy of the specific document the Subgrantee used to invoice the Grantee. The Grantee is
responsible for ensuring that the backup matches the invoice and is eligible for reimbursement.
✓ The CDOT grant manager will review and determine if the Grantee expenses are eligible for
reimbursement.
✓ If the Grantee pays the Subgrantee a discounted amount, the full amount cannot be reimbursed to
the Grantee. The Grantee will only be reimbursed up to the actual amount paid to the Grantee's
Subgrantee.
✓ Please ensure that all payment vouchers include some notation of when it was paid or approved for
payment.
✓ Invoice(s) should match the check amount. An additional explanation and documentation is required
for any variances.

before CDOT is invoiced by the Grantee.
D Expenditure ledger (All Tiers)

are not approved expenditure reports. However, an additional excel spreadsheet may be required in
order to explain any variances between the expenditure and the amount eligible for reimbursement.
✓ CFR 49 part 18 Section 18.20 Standards for Financial Management Systems, requires theGrantee to
have approved accounting systems so this should not be difficult to generate by cost center specific
to the reimbursable Project. The expenditure report is a good summary page if there is substantial
documentation.
✓ If the Grantee has copies of the invoice(s) and check(s), you do not need the expenditure ledger
also, but the invoices must be marked as approved for payment.
➢ Timesheets (Tier I and some Tier IIs)
✓ Timesheets should show a breakdown of all hours and all Projects worked for the day, week, month
or time collection period. The timesheet must also be signed or approved either in ink or
electronically. If an electronic approval occurs, the supervisors' signature will be required on the
electronic time report submitted for reimbursement.
✓ Backup documentation for payroll expenses includes the timesheet, an hourly or salary rate and a
payroll ledger indicating total hours, wages, and benefits. If there is sensitive information such as
social security numbers or addresses, please block or delete that information prior to submitting it.
➢ In kind match — If a Grantee wishes to use in -kind match, it must be approved by CDOT prior to any
work taking place. (All Tiers)
✓ If an in kind match is being used for the local funds the in -kind portion of the Project must be
included in the scope of work attached to the Grant or purchase order. FTA does not require pre -
approval of inkind, but FHWA and CDOT do.
✓ Documentation such as an invoice copy, time sheet, etc. is still required for all in -kind transactions.
The documentation varies depending on the source of the in -kind.
✓ Expenditure ledger from the Grantee must also show the in kind match in their general ledger.
✓ If the Grantee is using in kind match, they also need to attach a drawdown schedule indicating how
much in -kind match was received, the date they received it, how much has been applied to the
current invoice and how much has been carried forward. The carry forward balance for in -kind
expires when the Grant term expires.
✓ Full documentation will be required on the use of in -kind match, regardless of the Tier held by the
Grantee.
➢ Indirect costs- If a Grantee wishes to use indirect costs, the rate must be approved by CDOT prior to
applying it to the reimbursements (All Tiers)
If indirect costs are being requested, please submit an approved indirect letter provided by either CDOT or
another State of Colorado agency. The letter must state what indirect costs are allowed, the approved rate and
the time period for the approval. The indirect cost plan must be reconciled annually and an updated letter
submitted each year thereafter.
