Other properties relating to the 1926-1985 period of significance may also be considered. Reports must be prepared by a historical architect and follow guidelines established in Preservation Brief 43, Preparation and Use of Historic Structure Reports: www.nps.gov/tps/how-to-preserve/briefs/43-historic-structure-reports.htm.

Insurance: Grantees (recipients) who are completing a construction project (preservation, rehabilitation, or restoration) will be required to meet the following requirements for liability insurance. “Construction” means construction, alteration, or repair (including painting) of building, structures, signs, or other real property. Cost for liability insurance may be included in proposed project budget. For the purposes of this clause, "recipient" includes such sub-recipients, contractors, or subcontractors as, in the judgment of the recipient and subject to the Government's determination of sufficiency, have sufficient resources and/or maintain adequate and appropriate insurance to achieve the purposes of this clause.

A. Insurance. The recipient shall be required to (1) obtain liability insurance or (2) demonstrate present financial resources in an amount determined sufficient by the Government to cover claims brought by third parties for death, bodily injury, property damage, or other loss resulting from one or more identified activities carried out in connection with this financial assistance agreement.

B. Insured. The federal government shall be named as an additional insured under the recipient's insurance policy.

C. Indemnification. The recipient hereby agrees to indemnify the federal government, NPS or from any act or omission of Recipient, its officers, employees, members, participants, agents, representatives, agents as appropriate, or: (1) against third party claims for damages arising from one or more identified activities carried out in connection with this financial assistance agreement, and (2) for damage or loss to government property resulting from such an activity. This obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

a. To purchase public and employee liability insurance at its own expense from a responsible company or companies with a minimum limitation of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) per person for any one claim, and an aggregate limitation of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) for any number of claims arising from any one incident. The policies shall name the United States as an additional insured, shall specify that the insured shall have no right of subrogation against the United States for payments of any premiums or deductibles due thereunder, and shall specify that the insurance shall be assumed by, be for the account of, and be at the insured's sole risk. Prior to beginning the work authorized herein, Recipient shall provide the NPS with confirmation of such insurance coverage.

b. To pay the United States the full value for all damage to the lands or other property of the United States caused by the Recipient.

c. To provide workers' compensation protection to Recipient officers, employees, and representatives.

d. To cooperate with NPS in the investigation and defense of any claims that may be filed with NPS arising out of the activities of the Recipient, its agents, and employees.

e. In the event of damage to or destruction of the buildings and facilities assigned for the use of Recipient in whole or in part by any cause whatsoever, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require NPS to replace or repair the buildings or facilities. If NPS determines in writing, after consultation with Recipient that damage to the buildings or portions thereof renders such buildings unsuitable for continued use by Recipient, NPS shall assume sole control over such buildings or portions thereof If the buildings or facilities rendered unsuitable for use are essential for conducting operations authorized under this Agreement, then failure to substitute and assign other facilities acceptable to Recipient will constitute termination of this Agreement by NPS.

Appendix I – Laws and Standards

For Construction Projects Only (Preservation, Rehabilitation, and Restoration)

Recipients of cost-share grant funds for construction projects (preservation, rehabilitation, and restoration) only are subject to the following laws and standards:

A) Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties

The Secretary of Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties are federal standards intended to promote the highest degree of professionalism in protecting and maintaining the historic integrity of historic properties. Historic integrity refers to the authenticity of a property’s historic identity, or the extent to which a resource retains its historic appearance. The Standards have accompanying Guidelines, which provide guidance in determining what type of treatment is appropriate, and what course of action should be taken for each type. The Standards and Guidelines are designed to guide the treatment of properties that are listed on, or eligible for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places, but they are also valuable tools for anyone planning and undertaking work on historic properties. The Standards are mandatory when projects involve federal funding.

All proposals must reflect an understanding of and adherence to the Standards. For more information about the Standards and their accompanying guidelines, visit the website http://www.nps.gov/tps/standards.htm, or contact your State Historic Preservation Office at � HYPERLINK "http://www.nps.gov/nr/shpolist.htm" �http://www.nps.gov/nr/shpolist.htm�.

B) Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires Federal agencies to consult with State Historic Preservation Offices to consider the effects of federally-assisted projects on historic properties. The goal of consultation is to seek ways during the early stages of project planning to avoid, minimize, or mitigate any adverse effects on historic properties.

The Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program initiates Section 106 review for most preservation, restoration or rehabilitation projects. Section 106 review typically takes 4-6 weeks to complete. It is important that applicants are aware of this time requirement and account for it in proposed project schedules.

Work on cost-share grant projects cannot begin until a Section 106 review is completed and concurred upon by the State Historic Preservation Office.

For more information about Section 106, visit http://www.achp.gov/work106.html, or contact your State Historic Preservation Office at � HYPERLINK "http://www.nps.gov/nr/shpolist.htm" �http://www.nps.gov/nr/shpolist.htm�.

C) Occupational Health and Safety Administration Standards

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) sets standards to assure the safety and health of workers by providing training, outreach, and education; establishes partnerships; and encourages continual improvement in workplace safety and health. All cost-share grant projects that include construction-related work are required to comply with OSHA safety standards and guidelines. Information about keeping your project site safe can be found at � HYPERLINK "http://www.osha.gov" �www.osha.gov�, or by calling 1-800-321-OSHA. You can contact your state OSHA office at https://www.osha.gov/html/RAmap.html.
