They comply with FHWA's dominant transportation component definition and will be used for multiple purposes, including but not limited to snow plowing, road sanding and salting, road surface maintenance, weed control, road right-of-way maintenance, and for emergency response to assist in scene management to ensure public safety and mobility are maintained for the traveling public.

Due to EPA certification requirements for CNG vehicles, these vehicles must be new (within the last two years) and will be bid in accordance with these federal certification requirements. There are one CNG vehicle and three LNG conversion kits to be purchased in compliance with the FHWA definition of dominant transportation component for the purposes of this contract. They include the following: • One 1/2 -ton CNG pick-up truck; • Three LNG conversion kits for heavy-duty trucks Weld County is asking for funding for one CNG pick-up truck and three LNG conversion kits to be used by the Public Works Department for multiple purposes including, but not limited to snow plowing, road sanding and salting, road surface maintenance, weed control, county road right-of-way maintenance, and if requested, to ensure public safety is maintained to the traveling public as an emergency responder to assist in scene management, as needed.

What are the key tasks of your project? Task 2: Report to CDOT The CMAQ reporter/CDOT will be provided a final accomplishment report of the vehicle purchases performed under this contract for the completed fiscal year. Evaluation How will you evaluate the effectiveness of your program? The effectiveness of the vehicle conversions will be determined by the amount of natural gas fuel consumed and number of vehicle miles driven annually. The short and long-term air quality benefits were calculated for this project by Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig. The anticipated emissions reductions for the NGVs in both NOx and VOCs are 955 KG annually. Partnerships Please list any organization that is a pertinent partner with you in this project.

This results in new vehicle certifications being needed for new year vehicles. These certifications can delay projects anywhere from 3-9 months. *Month "1" begins the month you receive your signed contract and letter to proceed from CDOT.

EXHIBIT F - GRANTEE PAYMENT CHECKLIST 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. ❑ Invoice from local entity (Tier I and some Tier Ils) ✓ Project and Project Code ✓ Project Location ✓ Invoice number and billing date ✓ Previous Billed, Current Billing, and Billed to date ✓ Local Agency costs ✓ Consultant or Sub -grantee costs ✓ Federal portion ✓ Local portion ✓ Net payment due ✓ Signature of local entity representative ❑ Copies of invoices from local agency contractors (Tier I and some Tier IIs) ✓ The specific document the contractor used to invoice the local agencies. The local agency is responsible for ensuring that the backup matches the invoice and is eligible for reimbursement. ✓ If the local agency pays the contractor a discounted amount, the full amount cannot be reimbursed to the local agency, only the discounted amount, less the local agency match. ✓ Please ensure that all payment vouchers from the local agencies state "ok to pay" or some notation of when paid or approved by, etc. ✓ Invoice(s) should match check amounts. ✓ A CDOT employee knowledgeable about the work being invoiced has to approve the local agency invoices in order for CDOT to make payments; the invoice must be paid within 45 days of receipt according to state statute. ✓ Statements are not acceptable in lieu of an invoice. ❑ Copies of checks (All Tiers) ✓ All of the following are acceptable - copies of checks, check registers, approved accounting system generated expenditure ledgers showing the amount paid, the check number or electronic funds transfer ("EFT") and the date paid. ✓ CDOT needs to ensure that expenditures incurred by the Grantee have been paid by the Grantee before CDOT is invoiced by the Grantee. ❑ Expenditure ledger (All Tiers) ✓ An expenditure ledger needs to be submitted from the Grantee's financial accounting system. The report should display the accounting system information, date of the report, accounting period, current period transactions, and the account coding for all incurred expenditures. Excel spreadsheets 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. ✓ 2 CFR 200 requires the Grantee 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 Hs) ✓ DOT requires all employees working on projects to provide time sheets with a breakdown of hours worked by day displaying 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.

The rate only needs to be submitted once and will be referred to for future invoices. ✓ If there is sensitive information such as social security numbers or addresses, please block that information. ✓ If the local agency uses a temp agency and submits the invoice from the temp agency for reimbursement, CDOT needs the same documentation the agency would use for approval before the local agency paid the temp agency. ✓ If the local agency used a quarterly or semester based system of timekeeping, the local agency cannot bill monthly for payroll expenses (this is especially true for colleges and universities). The local agency needs the backup from the timekeeping system and payroll records which would allow the local agency to bill quarterly or by semester. ❑ In kind match — If an entity 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 match the in -kind portion of the project must be included in project application and scope of work attached to the contract or purchase order. FTA does not require pre -approval of in kind, but CDOT does. ✓ Expenditure ledger from the local agency must also show the in kind match in their general ledger. CDOT needs a copy of this general ledger showing the in kind match. ✓ If the local agency is using in kind match on invoices to CDOT, they need to attach a drawdown page indicating how much in -kind match has been used. ✓ Full documentation will be required on the use of in -kind match, regardless of the Tier held by the grantee. ❑ Indirect costs (All Tiers) ✓ If indirect costs are being requested, please submit an approved indirect letter provided by either CDOT or Colorado Department. The letter must state what indirect costs are allowed and at what percentage. The indirect letter only needs to be submitted once and will be retained on file for future invoices. The indirect cost plan must be reconciled annually and an updated letter submitted each year.
