CFR 645A, "Utility Relocations, Adjustments and Reimbursement ", Federal -
Aid Policy Guide, 23 CFR 645B, "Accommodation of Utilities' issued by the

current "Policy for Accommodating Utilities on State Highway Right of
Way."
All nonbetterment municipally owned and operated utility
rehabilitation costs within the corporate limits of the City will become
a project cost, but that outside the corporate limits, only the
nonbetterment portion of the rehabilitation costs of facilities currently
occupying private right of way will be reimbursed. Further, there will
be no Federal reimbursement for private or nonmunicipally owned and
operated utilities if they are located on public right of way, however,
nonbetterment costs of privately owned and operated utilities will be
reimbursed if they exist on privately owned right of way and it is

reimbursements must be based on items and estimates submitted by the
utility and approved by the City and State. Should this project
necessitate the nonbetterment rehabilitation of any municipally or
privately owned and operated utilities, the parties agree to enter into a
Supplemental Agreement to provide for the nonbetterment utility
rehabilitation and the reimbursement to the City for the Federal share of
the costs of the nonbetterment utility rehabilitation. The parties agree

before State execution of a Supplement to this Agreement, the
rehabilitation work will be at the sole expense of the City.

reimbursement, the City shall pay the utility and bill the State for the
Federal share. The State, subject to a final audit of the utility costs,
will reimburse the City for the approved Federal share of the costs.

appraisals and negotiations for any additional right of way. The City
shall be responsible for any eminent domain proceedings required for
acquisition of the necessary property. The appropriate procedures as
outlined in the current Nebraska Right of Way Manual approved by the FHWA
shall be followed. Regardless of whether or not Federal funds are
requested for the right of way, the City agrees to contact the State
prior to beginning any right of way activity in order that the State may
Project No. STPB - 89(24) 7
City of Blair
advise the City of the required right of way functions and procedures.
It is understood that any right of way services furnished by the State
shall be considered as a part of the cost of the project and the State's
expenses therein shall be included as costs of the project as specified
in Section 23 hereof.
SECTION 20. The City agrees, at no cost to the project, to clear the
present right of way of this project of all advertising signs. The City
also agrees, at no cost to the project, to clear any other privately
owned facility or thing that may interfere with the construction,
maintenance and operation of the improvement planned in this project, and
to keep the old and new right of way free of future encroachments, except
those authorized by permit.
SECTION 21. The City hereby agrees, and shall certify after
accomplishment, that any right of way for this improvement not donated in

Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act
of 1970 as amended, 49 CFR 24, and the State's Right of Way Manual as
approved by FHWA.
SECTION 22. Traffic control during project construction shall conform
with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
Before final acceptance of the project by the State, all signing and
marking will be in conformance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices. The edition of the manual which is current at the time of final
acceptance shall be used.
SECTION 23. Costs incurred by the State with respect to the entire
project will be part of the cost of the project to be paid out of City
and Federal funds. Costs incurred by the State attributable to this
project will not include any administrative costs or expenses of
administrative officials. The State may, at its discretion, initiate
progress invoices for costs incurred by the State during the progression
of the project and the City agrees to pay such invoices within thirty
(30) days of their receipt. The City's share of the total project cost
shall be all costs not paid for by Federal funds.
The criteria contained in Part 31 of the Federal Acquisition
Regulations System (48 CFR 31) shall be applied to determine the
allowability of costs incurred by the City under this agreement.
The City shall maintain all books, documents, papers, accounting
records and other evidence pertaining to costs incurred and shall make

City of Blair
representatives of the Federal government, and copies thereof shall be

SECTION 24. It is mutually agreed that final approval of the project
will be made by the State and that final payment cannot be made to the
City until the project has been approved by the State.
SECTION 25. The City understands and agrees that the sole duty of
proper prosecution of the project, in accordance with the approved
plans, belongs with the City, its Project Manager and Contractors, and
that failure to properly prosecute and construct the project in
accordance with the approved plans may result in the loss of federal
funding.
SECTION 26. The City agrees to acknowledge federal and state funding
with proper signage such as recognition plaques on buildings or markers
on trails. The funding acknowledgement shall state, "This project made
possible through funds provided by the Nebraska Department of Roads
Transportation Enhancement Program and the Federal Highway
Administration." This statement shall also be incorporated into all
press releases, web sites and printed information about the project.
SECTION 27. It is understood by the City that payment for the costs of
this project, whether they be services, engineering, right of way,
utilities material or otherwise, are the sole responsibility of the City
where Federal participation is not allowable or available. Therefore,
where the Federal government refuses to participate in the project or
any portion thereof the City is responsible for full project payment
with no cost or expense to the State in such project or portion thereof.
Should the project be abandoned before completion, the City will pay all
costs incurred by the State prior to such abandonment.
