About this file
This is a USDOT Federal Highway Administration Grant Agreement executed between the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the City of Detroit for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program to fund the Safer Gratiot Pilot (SGP) project. The project involves piloting safety infrastructure treatments such as intersection safety improvements, temporary bus stop enhancements, and traffic control measures along Gratiot Avenue between 8 Mile Road and Randolph Street. The scope includes planning, engineering, design, environmental review, community engagement, project management, data analysis, surveying, and construction oversight services. The period of performance extends 60 months from the effective date of award through December 31, 2029, with key milestones including procurement (March 2026–August 2026), NEPA completion (March 2027), planning and design (September 2026–April 2027), pilot deployment (July 2027), and maintenance activities (April 2028–January 2030). The application timeline was extended from the originally proposed 27 months to 60 months to accommodate schedule contingency, stakeholder coordination across 32 miles of roads, and potential procurement and seasonal construction limitations.
The grant is authorized under Section 24112 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and is subject to compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the Uniform Administrative Requirements in 2 CFR Part 200, and civil rights obligations including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Specific dollar amounts for the federal share, recipient share, and total eligible project costs are not disclosed in the provided sections. The City of Detroit, designated as the recipient with a Unique Entity ID of GS94M2VMNMJ3, must expend all SS4A funds within five years of grant execution. Reimbursement requests must be submitted monthly or less frequently through the DELPHI iSupplier System with detailed cost documentation including direct labor, indirect costs, and identification of federal versus recipient cost shares. The recipient demonstrates commitment to good-paying jobs with free and fair choice to join a union through partnerships with the Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation (DESC) and compliance with City contracting provisions protecting worker rights and labor standards. The project is contingent upon FHWA approval of NEPA documentation and environmental review completion before funds may be expended for design and construction phases.

USDOT Office for Subaward and Contract Authorization: FHWA Office of Competitive Grants and Workforce Programs
SUBAWARDS AND CONTRACTS APPROVAL
Note: See 2 CFR § 200.331, Subrecipient and contractor determinations, for definitions of subrecipient (who is awarded a subaward) versus contractor (who is awarded a contract).
Note: Recipients with a procurement system deemed approved and accepted by the Government or by the Agreement Officer (the “AO”) are exempt from the requirements of this clause. See 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.327.
In accordance with 2 CFR 200.308(f)(6), the recipient or subrecipient shall obtain prior written approval from the USDOT agreement officer for the subaward, if the subaward activities were not proposed in the application or approved in the Federal award. This provision is in accordance with 2 CFR 200.308 (f)
(6) and does not apply to procurement transactions for goods and services. Approval will be issued through written notification from the AO or a formal amendment to the Agreement.
The following subawards and contracts are currently approved under the Agreement by the AO. This list does not include supplies, material, equipment, or general support services which are exempt from the pre-approval requirements of this clause.
5.2 Reimbursement Requests
(a) The Recipient may request reimbursement of costs incurred within the budget period of this agreement if those costs do not exceed the amount of funds obligated and are allowable under the applicable cost provisions of 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart E. The Recipient shall not request reimbursement more frequently than monthly.
(b) The Recipient shall use the DELPHI iSupplier System to submit requests for reimbursement to the payment office. When requesting reimbursement of costs incurred or credit for cost share incurred, the Recipient shall electronically submit supporting cost detail with the SF-270 (Request for Advance or Reimbursement) or SF-271 (Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs) to clearly document all costs incurred.
(c) The Recipient’s supporting cost detail shall include a detailed breakout of all costs incurred, including direct labor, indirect costs, other direct costs, travel, etc., and the Recipient shall identify the Federal share and the Recipient’s share of costs. If the Recipient does not provide sufficient detail in a request for reimbursement, the Agreement Officer’s Representative (the “AOR”) may withhold processing that request until the Recipient provides sufficient detail.
(d) The USDOT shall not reimburse costs unless the AOR reviews and approves the costs to ensure that progress on this agreement is sufficient to substantiate payment.
(e) In the rare instance the Recipient is unable to receive electronic funds transfers (EFT), payment by EFT would impose a hardship on the Recipient because of their inability to manage an account at a financial institution, and/or the Recipient is unable to use the DELPHI iSupplier System to submit their requests for disbursement, the FHWA may waive the requirement that the Recipient use the DELPHI iSupplier System. The Recipient shall contact the Division Office Lead Point of Contact for instructions on and requirements related to pursuing a waiver.
(f) The requirements set forth in these terms and conditions supersede previous financial invoicing requirements for Recipients.

CHANGES FROM APPLICATION
Describe all material differences between the scope, schedule, and budget described in the application and the scope, schedule, and budget described in Article 3. The purpose of Attachment B is to clearly and accurately document any differences in scope, schedule, and budget to establish the parties’ knowledge and acceptance of those differences. See Article 11 for the Statement of Work, Schedule, and Budget Changes. If there are no changes, please insert “N/A” after “Scope,” “Schedule,” or “Budget.” If there are changes to the budget, please complete the table below. Otherwise, leave the table below blank.
Scope: N/A
Schedule: The application schedule included in the project narrative planned for 27 months (January 1, 2025 – March 31, 2027) from Pre-NEPA through construction engineering and inspection activities for a demonstration project that includes safety improvements on 32.5 miles of county roads. The Recipient reviewed the schedule and determined that additional time was needed for schedule contingency. Accordingly, 33 months was added to the proposed project timeline for a total of a 60-month Period of Performance with an end date of December 31, 2029. The additional months are added due to a revised estimate of the time it will take to complete the extensive scope of work that includes coordinating with stakeholders and managing phased construction across 32 miles of roads combined with revising the estimated time necessary to overcome any procurement challenges and seasonal construction limitations.
Section 3.2 has been updated to better reflect the project’s anticipated timeline, with the dates for each milestone (apart from the final report date) being pushed back. This change is to factor in time to finalize the grant agreement, and to allow adequate time to coordinate with MDOT throughout NEPA & design phases.
These changes have been made with other SS4A project timelines in mind and are meant to ensure that we are able to be on time with each milestone.

LABOR AND WORK
1. Efforts to Support Good-Paying Jobs and Strong Labor Standards
The Recipient states that rows marked with “X” in the following table are accurate:
X The Recipient or a project partner promotes robust job creation by supporting good-paying jobs directly related to the project with free and fair choice to join a union. (Describe robust job creation and identify the good-paying jobs in the supporting narrative below.)
The Recipient or a project partner will invest in high-quality workforce training programs such as registered apprenticeship programs to recruit, train, and retain skilled workers, and implement policies such as targeted hiring preferences.
(Describe the training programs in the supporting narrative below.)
The Recipient or a project partner will partner with high-quality workforce development programs with supportive services to help train, place, and retain workers in good-paying jobs or registered apprenticeships including through the use of local and economic hiring preferences, linkage agreements with workforce programs, and proactive plans to prevent harassment. (Describe the supportive services provided to trainees and employees, preferences, and policies in the supporting narrative below.)
The Recipient or a project partner will partner and engage with local unions or other worker-based organizations in the development and lifecycle of the project, including through evidence of project labor agreements and/or community benefit agreements. (Describe the partnership or engagement with unions and/or other worker-based organizations and agreements in the supporting narrative below.)
The Recipient or a project partner will partner with communities or community groups to develop workforce strategies. (Describe the partnership and workforce strategies in the supporting narrative below.)
The Recipient or a project partner has taken other actions related to the Project to create good-paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union and incorporate strong labor standards. (Describe those actions in the supporting narrative below.)
The Recipient or a project partner has not yet taken actions related to the Project to create good-paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union and incorporate strong labor standards but, before beginning construction of the Project, will take relevant actions described in Attachment B. (Identify the relevant actions from Attachment B in the supporting narrative below.)
The Recipient or a project partner has not taken actions related to the Project to improve good-paying jobs and strong labor standards and will not take those actions under this award.
2. Supporting Narrative.
The Office of Contracting and Procurement in the City has various contract provisions that protect the right to have free and fair choice to join a union and incorporation of high labor standards. In addition, City of Detroit works with the Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation (DESC) to create good-paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union and incorporation of high labor standards for all City contracts (including all grant-funded contracts). DESC is the City’s designated fiduciary agent to receive federal Workforce Opportunity and Innovation Act (WIOA) funds.
In Michigan Department of Transportation’s 2024 Reconnecting Gratiot PEL, it was noted that safety concerns and deteriorating transportation conditions create barriers to economic opportunity along Gratiot, one of the city’s most prominent commercial corridors, contributing to high rates of vacancy and challenges to business growth. The corridor’s width and design has been viewed as an opportunity. Excess width can be reimagined and reallocated to realize state, regional and local goals ranging from job access to economic development. This project would bring economic development opportunities to the area by removing a major barrier towards business investment and commercial corridor activation of the Gratiot corridor, allowing for the support of robust job creation.
