FROM: Elizabeth Relford, Transportation Planner
SUBJECT: CDOT Contract Approval for CMAQ
Project#20111 —Weld County Natural Gas
Equipment and Vehicles
For Fiscal Year 2014, Weld County received $1,104,000 in federal Congestion,
Mitigation, and Air Quality (CMAQ) funding in the North Front Range MPO. With a local
match requirement of 17.21%, Weld County's share is $229,494 for a total contract
budget of$1,333,494.
With this funding, Weld County may purchase the thirteen pieces of equipment, which
include the following list:
• 2- Heavy Duty Natural Gas Tandem Trucks;
• 1-One ton CNG pick-up truck;
• 5- %ton CNG pick-up trucks;
• 4-1/2 ton CNG pick-up trucks; and
• 1-LNG fueler
All of the trucks are part of Public Works 2015 vehicle replacement program. Any bid
savings from this project will go back to Motor Pool.
The LNG fueler is part of Public Work's existing contract with Clean Energy to construct
an LNG fueling site for our Heavy Duty LNG fleet trucks to fuel. Public Works currently
has nine LNG fleet trucks.
Weld County is no longer partnering with Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) on this
project, please see the attached letter. Public Works is currently coordinating with Clean
Energy on a location in the City of Evans along US 85. Once the location has been
finalized, staff will provide a project update to the Commissioners.
I'm available to answer any questions you may have.

If Grantee is in breach under any provision of this Grant,the State shall have all of the remedies listed in this
§15 in addition to all other remedies set forth in other sections of this Grant following the notice and cure period
set forth in §I4(B)provided that the State may terminate pursuant to §15(B)without a breach. The State may
exercise any or all of the remedies available to it, in its sole discretion,concurrently or consecutively.
a) Termination for Cause and/or Breach
If Grantee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder with such diligence as is required to ensure
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 subcontracts with third parties. However,Grantee shall
complete and deliver to the State all Work, Services and Goods not cancelled by the
termination notice and may incur 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.
ii. Payments
The State shall reimburse Grantee only for accepted performance up to the date of
termination. If,after termination by the State, it is determined that Grantee was not in breach
or that Grantee's action or inaction was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a
termination in the public interest and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same
as if this Grant had been terminated in the public interest,as described herein.
iii. Damages and Withholding
Notwithstanding any other remedial action by the State, Grantee also shall remain liable to the
State for any damages sustained by the State by virtue of any breach under this Grant by
Grantee and the State may withhold any payment to Grantee for the purpose of mitigating the
State's damages, until such time as the exact amount of damages due to the State from
Grantee is determined. The State may withhold any amount that may be due to Grantee as the
State deems necessary to protect the State, including loss as a result of outstanding liens or
claims of former lien holders, or to reimburse the State for the excess costs incurred in
procuring similar goods or services. Grantee shall be liable for excess costs incurred by the
State in procuring from third parties replacement Work, Services or substitute Goods as cover.
b) Early Termination in the Public Interest
The State is entering into this Grant for the purpose of carrying out the public policy of the State of
Colorado,as determined by its Governor, General Assembly, and/or courts. If this Grant ceases to
further the public policy of the State,the State, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Grant in whole
or in part. Exercise by the State of this right shall not constitute a breach of the State's obligations
hereunder. This subsection shall not apply to a termination of this Grant by the State for cause or
breach by Grantee, which shall be governed by§15(A)or as otherwise specifically provided for herein.

obligations and rights set forth in§15(A)(i).
iii. Payments
If this Grant is terminated by the State pursuant to this§15(B),Grantee shall be paid an
amount 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 Grantee's obligations hereunder; provided that the sum of any and all
reimbursement shall not exceed the maximum amount payable to Grantee hereunder.

other remedies available to it:

and incurring costs in accordance with the State's directive and the State shall not be liable for
costs incurred by Grantee after the suspension of performance under this provision.
ii. Withhold Payment
Withhold payment to Grantee until corrections in Grantee's performance are satisfactorily
made and completed.
iii. Deny Payment
Deny payment for those obligations not performed, that due to Grantee's actions or inactions,
cannot be performed or, if performed, would be of no value to the State; provided, that any
denial of payment shall be reasonably related to the value to the State of the obligations not
performed.
iv. Removal
Request removal of any of Grantee's employees, agents,or Subgrantees whom the State
deems incompetent,careless, insubordinate, unsuitable, or otherwise unacceptable,or whose
continued relation to this Grant is deemed to be contrary to the public interest or not in the
State's best interest.
v. Intellectual Property

performing its obligations under this Grant, Grantee shall, at the State's option(a)obtain for the State or
Grantee the right to use such products and services; (b) replace any Goods, Services,or other product
involved with non-infringing products or modify them so that they become non-infringing;or, (c) if neither
of the foregoing alternatives are reasonably available, remove any infringing Goods, Services, or products

Weld County's Smart Energy Plan promotes the use of natural gas vehicles as
an alternative transportation fuel. Natural gas vehicles are an important
component in supporting natural gas infrastructure. By Weld County local
governments converting their fleets,it promotes the effort to reduce our
dependency on foreign oil and utilitze a natural resource found with our own
county. The project consists of purchasing natural gas vehicles. 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 thirteen vehicles/equipment to be
purchased with this contract. They include the following:
• 4-Y:ton CNG pick-up trucks;
• 5-3/4 ton CNG pick-up trucks;
• 1-one ton CNG pick-up truck;
• 2-Heavy Duty Natural Gas Tandem Trucks;
Program Overview Summary: • 1 — LNG Fueler
All of these vehicles are intended for use in Weld County's Public Works
Department. The Public Works Department will have multiple purposes for
these vehicles, including, but not limited to snow plowing, road sanding and
salting, road surface maintenance, weed control, general 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 or
transport disabled motorist,as needed. All these vehicles will replace ten years
and older fleet vehicles with 100,000 plus miles.
In addition, for heavy duty (Class 8)trucks this means natural gas fuel is in the
form of a liquid rather than compressed to achieve equivalent horse power and
engine torque as diesel vehicles. However, it is difficult to get fleet
commitments without having a fuel source. Therefore, this project will also
promote heavy duty fleets utilizing LNG vehicles in the region by acquiring
and installing an LNG Fuelcr in the NFR MPO. Therefore, this scope also
includes the purchase of an LNG fueler to serve Weld County LNG fleets

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. 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 Its)
✓ 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 Ils)
✓ 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 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(Tier I and Some Tier Ils)
✓ All of the following are acceptable-copies of checks,check registers,approved accounting system generated
expenditure ledgers showing check number or Electronic Funds Transfer(EFT)and date paid.
✓ CDOT needs to ensure that expenditures incurred by the local agencies have been paid by the local agency to
their contractors,before CDOT is invoiced by the local agency.
✓ It is against DOT rules to bill CDOT before local agency contractors are paid.
❑ Expenditure ledger(Tier 1,11 and Ill)
✓ An expenditure ledger needs to be submitted of the local agency's financial accounting system displaying the
accounting coding of all incurred expenditures that are eligible for reimbursement.
✓ CFR 49 part 18 Section 18.20 Standards for financial management systems requires the local agencies to have
approved accounting systems so this should not be difficult to generate by project.The expenditure report is a
good summary page if there is substantial documentation.
✓ If the local agency 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.

DUNS#N/A
✓ If the approved accounting system expenditure report is provided,this shows all of the expenditures so there is
no question of whether these were paid.Excel spreadsheets are not approved expenditure reports except in a
few programs.
❑ Time sheets(Tier I and some Tier Ils)
✓ 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 time sheet must
also be signed or approved either in ink or electronically.
✓ Backup documentation for payroll expenses includes the time sheet and an hourly or salary rate or a payroll
ledger indicating hours,wages,and benefits. 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 number 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 matches—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 the
project application and scope of work attached to the contract or purchase order. FTA does not require pre-
approval of the use of in-kind,but CDOT does.
✓ Expenditure ledger from 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 of the 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
other 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 to annual and an updated letter submitted each year.
