require a minimum 20% cash match

  • In-kind time and materials is NOT an option
  • Federal funds cannot be matched with
  • ther federal funds
  • Federal funds can be matched with

state funds (OPWC, ODNR, etc.)

How Can This Help You?

  • When managing a project and/or reviewing a

submittal, be aware of any eligibility constraints.

  • Communicate significant scope, schedule,

and estimate revisions with the funding program manager.

  • Be aware of funding opportunities available,

in case of a funding crisis on a locally sponsored project. You can be an LPA’s hero!

slide-63
SLIDE 63

63

How Can This Help?

  • Keep the MPO TIP and STIP in mind…
  • Any projects with federal transportation funds must be

listed on the MPO’s TIP (if applicable) and STIP

  • Amendments or Modifications are required for

significant changes to estimates, schedules, etc.
