C. The Government and the Non-Federal Sponsors agree that the amount of costs eligible for credit that are allocated by the Government to the NED Plan costs shall be determined and credited in accordance with the following procedures, requirements, and conditions. Such costs shall be subject to audit in accordance with Article X.B. to determine reasonableness, allocability, and allowability of costs.

1. Real Property Interests.

a. General Procedure. Only costs associated with real property interests acquired from private owners after the effective date of this Agreement and allocated to the NED Plan are eligible for credit, unless such real property interests acquired from private owners were required for in-kind contributions covered by an In Kind MOU. The Non-Federal Sponsors shall obtain, for each real property interest acquired from a private owner, an appraisal of the fair market value of such interest that is prepared by a qualified appraiser who is acceptable to the parties. Subject to valid jurisdictional exceptions, the appraisal shall conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. The appraisal must be prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of just compensation, as specified by the Government.

(1) Date of Valuation. For any real property interests acquired from private owners that are required for in-kind contributions covered by an In Kind MOU, the date of initiation of construction shall be used to determine the fair market value. The fair market value of real property interests acquired by the Non Federal Sponsors after the effective date of this Agreement shall be the fair market value of such real property interests at the time the interests are acquired.

(2) Except for real property interests acquired through eminent domain proceedings instituted after the effective date of this Agreement, the Non-Federal Sponsors shall submit an appraisal for each real prope1ty interest to the Government for review and approval no later than, to the maximum extent practicable, 60 calendar days after the Non-Federal Sponsors provide the Government with an authorization for entry for such interest or concludes the acquisition of the interest through negotiation or eminent domain proceedings, whichever occurs later. If, after coordination and consultation with the Government, the Non-Federal Sponsors are unable to provide an appraisal that is acceptable to the Government, the Government shall obtain an appraisal to determine the fair market value of the real prope1ty interest for crediting purposes.

(3) The Government shall credit the Non-Federal Sponsors the appraised amount approved by the Government. Where the amount paid or proposed to be paid by the Non-Federal Sponsors exceed the approved appraised amount, the Government, at the request of the Non-Federal Sponsors, shall consider all factors relevant to determining fair market value and, in its sole discretion, after consultation with the Non-Federal Sponsors, may approve in writing an amount greater than the appraised amount for crediting purposes.

b. Eminent Domain Procedure. For real prope1ty interests acquired by eminent domain proceedings instituted after the effective date of this Agreement, the Non-Federal Sponsors shall notify the Government in writing of their intent to institute such proceedings and submit the appraisals of the specific real property interests to be acquired for review and approval by the Government. If the Government provides written approval of the appraisals, the Non-Federal Sponsors shall use the amount set forth in such appraisals as the estimate of just compensation for the purpose of instituting the eminent domain proceeding. If the Government provides written disapproval of the appraisals, the Government and the Non-Federal Sponsors shall consult to promptly resolve the issues that are identified in the Government's written disapproval. In the event the issues cannot be resolved, the Non-Federal Sponsors may use the amount set fo1th in their appraisal as the estimate of just compensation for purpose of instituting the eminent domain proceeding. The fair market value for crediting purposes shall be either the amount of the court award for the real property interests taken or the amount of any stipulated settlement or portion thereof that the Government approves in writing.

c. Waiver of Appraisal. Except as required by paragraph C.l.b. of this Article, the Government may waive the requirement for an appraisal pursuant to this paragraph if, in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Section 24.102(c)(2):

(1) the private owner is donating the real property interest to the Non-Federal Sponsors and releases the Non-Federal Sponsors in writing from their obligation to appraise the real property interest, and the Non-Federal Sponsors submit to the Government a copy of the owner's written release; or

(2) the Non-Federal Sponsors determine that an appraisal is unnecessary because the valuation problem is uncomplicated and the anticipated value of the real property interest proposed for acquisition is estimated at $25,000 or less, based on a review of available data. When the Non-Federal Sponsors determine that an appraisal is unnecessary, the Non-Federal Sponsors shall prepare the written waiver valuation required by 49 C.F .R. Section 24.102( c )(2) and submit a copy thereof to the Government for approval. When the anticipated value of the real property interest exceeds $10,000, the Non-Federal Sponsors must offer the private owner the option of having the Non-Federal Sponsors appraise the real property interest.

d. Incidental Costs. The Government shall include in construction costs and credit towards the Non-Federal Sponsors' share of such costs, the incidental costs the Non-Federal Sponsors incurred in acquiring from private owners any real property interests required pursuant to Article III for the NED Plan, that are documented to the satisfaction of the Government. Only incidental costs incurred after the effective date of this Agreement are eligible for credit, unless such incidental costs were required for in-kind contributions covered by an In-Kind MOU. Such incidental costs shall include closing and title costs, appraisal costs, survey costs, attorney's fees, plat maps, mapping costs, actual amounts expended for payment of any relocation assistance benefits provided in accordance with Article III.E., and other payments by the Non Federal Sponsors for items that are generally recognized as compensable, and required to be paid, by applicable state law due to the acquisition of a real property interest pursuant to Article III.

2. Placement Area Improvements. The Government shall include in construction costs and credit towards the Non-Federal Sponsors' share of such costs, the value of placement area improvements required for the NED Plan. The value shall be equivalent to the costs, documented to the satisfaction of the Government, that the Non Federal Sponsors incurred to provide any placement area improvements required for the Project. Only placement area improvements provided after the effective date of this Agreement are eligible for credit, unless such placement area improvements were required for in-kind contributions covered by an In-Kind MOU. Such costs shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, actual costs of constructing the improvements; planning, engineering, and design costs; supervision and administration costs; and documented incidental costs associated with providing the improvements, but shall not include any costs associated with betterments, as determined by the Government.

3. Relocations. The Government shall include in construction costs and credit towards the Non-Federal Sponsors' share of such costs, the value of any relocations performed by the Non-Federal Sponsors that are directly related to construction, operation, and maintenance of the NED Plan. Only relocations performed after the effective date of this Agreement are eligible for credit, unless such relocations were required for in-kind contributions covered by an In-Kind MOU.

a. For a relocation other than a highway, the value shall be only that portion of relocation costs that the Government determines is necessary to provide a functionally equivalent facility, reduced by depreciation, as applicable, and by the salvage value of any removed items.

b. For a relocation of a highway, which is any highway, roadway, or street, including any bridge thereof, that is owned by a public entity, the value shall be only that portion of relocation costs that would be necessary to accomplish the relocation in accordance with the design standard that the State of California would apply under similar conditions of geography and traffic load, reduced by the salvage value of any removed items.

c. Relocation costs include actual costs of performing the relocation; planning, engineering, and design costs; supervision and administration costs;

and documented incidental costs associated with performance of the relocation, as determined by the Government. Relocation costs do not include any costs associated with betterments, as determined by the Government, nor any additional cost of using new material when suitable used material is available.

4. In-Kind Contributions. The Government shall include in construction costs and credit towards the Non-Federal Sponsors' share of such costs, the value of in kind contributions allocated to the NED Plan that are integral to the Project.

a. The value shall be equivalent to the costs, documented to the satisfaction of the Government, that the Non-Federal Sponsors incuned to provide the in kind contributions. Such costs shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, actual costs of constructing the in-kind contributions; engineering and design costs; supervision and administration costs; and documented incidental costs associated with providing the in-kind contributions, but shall not include any costs associated with betterments, as determined by the Government. Appropriate documentation includes invoices and certification of specific payments to contractors, suppliers, and the Non-Federal Sponsors' employees.

b. No credit shall be afforded for interest charges, or any adjustment to reflect changes in price levels between the time the in-kind contributions are completed and credit is afforded; for the value of in-kind contributions obtained at no cost to the Non-Federal Sponsors; for any in-kind contributions performed prior to the effective date of this Agreement unless covered by an In-Kind MOU between the Government and Non-Federal Sponsors; or for costs that exceed the Government's estimate of the cost for such in-kind contributions if they had been provided by the Government.

5. Compliance with Federal Labor Laws. Any credit afforded under the terms of this Agreement is subject to satisfactory compliance with applicable Federal

· labor laws covering non-Federal construction, including, but not limited to, 40 U.S.C.

3141-3148 and 40 U.S.C. 3701-3708 (labor standards originally enacted as the Davis Bacon Act, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, and the Copeland Anti Kickback Act), and credit may be withheld, in whole or in part, as a result of the Non Federal Sponsors' failure to comply with their obligations under these laws.

D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Non-Federal Sponsors shall not be entitled to credit for real property interests that were previously provided as an item of local cooperation for another Federal project; for real property interests (other than those acquired through relocations) that are owned or controlled by public entities; or for any amount that exceeds the value of real property interests, relocations, placement area improvements, or in-kind contributions allocated by the Government to the NED Plan.

ARTICLE VI - PAYMENT OF FUNDS

A. As of the effective date of this Agreement, total construction costs for the Project are projected to be $1,851,993,000, with NED Plan costs projected to be $1,597,400,000, and LPP incremental costs projected to be $254,593,000. The Government share of the NED Plan costs are projected to be $1,038,310,000, and the Non-Federal Sponsors' share of the NED Plan costs are projected to be $559,090,000, which includes the 5 percent contribution of funds projected to be $79,870,000, creditable real property interests, relocations, and placement area improvements projected to be $265,071,000, creditable in-kind contributions projected to be $121,088,000, and the additional amount of funds required to meet the minimum 35 percent cost share projected to be $93,061,000. The LPP incremental costs provided by the Non-Federal Sponsors include real property interests, relocations, and placement area improvements projected to be $36,780,000, design and construction work projected to be $169,232,000, and a contribution of funds projected to be $105,621,000. Costs for betterments are projected to be $0. These amounts are estimates only that are subject to adjustment by the Government and are not to be construed as the total financial responsibilities of the Government and the Non-Federal Sponsors.

B. The Government shall provide the Non-Federal Sponsors with monthly reports setting forth the estimated construction costs, NED Plan costs, and the Government's and Non-Federal Sponsors' estimated shares of such costs; costs incurred by the Government, using both Federal and Non-Federal Sponsors funds, to date; the amount of funds provided by the Non-Federal Sponsors to date; the estimated amount of any creditable real property interests, placement area improvements, and relocations; the estimated amount of any creditable in-kind contributions; and the estimated amount of funds required from the Non-Federal Sponsors during the upcoming fiscal year.

C. The Non-Federal Sponsors shall provide the funds required to meet their share of construction costs by delivering a check payable to "F AO, USAED, Sacramento (L2)" to the District Commander, or verifying to the satisfaction of the Government that the Non-Federal Sponsors have deposited such required funds in an escrow or other account acceptable to the Government, with interest accruing to the Non-Federal Sponsors, or by providing an Electronic Funds Transfer of such required funds in accordance with procedures established by the Government.

D. The Government shall draw from the funds provided by the Non-Federal Sponsors to cover the non-Federal share of construction costs as those costs are incurred.

If the Government determines at any time that additional funds are needed from the Non Federal Sponsors to cover the Non-Federal Sponsors' required share of such construction costs, the Government shall provide the Non-Federal Sponsors with written notice of the amount of additional funds required. Within 90 calendar days from receipt of such notice, the Non-Federal Sponsors shall provide the Government with the full amount of such additional required funds.

E. Upon completion of construction and resolution of all relevant claims and appeals and eminent domain proceedings, the Government shall conduct a final accounting and furnish the Non-Federal Sponsors with the written results of such final accounting. Should the final accounting determine that additional funds are required from the Non-Federal Sponsors, the Non-Federal Sponsors, within 90 calendar days of receipt of written notice from the Government, shall provide the Government with the full amount of such additional required funds. Such final accounting does not limit the Non-Federal Sponsors' responsibility to pay their share of construction costs, including contract claims or any other liability that may become known after the final accounting.

If the final accounting determines that funds provided by the Non-Federal Sponsors exceed the amount of funds required to meet their share of construction costs, the Government shall refund such excess amount, subject to the availability of funds for the refund. In addition, if the final accounting determines that the Non-Federal Sponsors' credit for real property interests, placement area improvements, and relocations combined with credit for in-kind contributions exceed their share of construction costs for the NED Plan, the Government, subject to the availability of funds, shall enter into a separate agreement to reimburse…
