Bigelow, City Clerk of Chula Vista, California, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution No. 2022-051 was duly passed, approved, and adopted by the City Council at a regular meeting of the Chula Vista City Council held on the 1st day of March 2022. Executed this 1st day of March 2022. Kerry K. Bigelow, MMC, City Clerk DocuSign Envelope ID: A64D587D-804F-4BAE-9F8B-40AB26031679 1 GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SAN DIEGO ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS AND [JURISDICTION NAME] REGARDING [FULL PROJECT TITLE] TRANSNET SMART GROWTH INCENTIVE PROGRAM – PLANNING CYCLE 5 SANDAG CONTRACT NO. [CMS NUMBER] THIS GRANT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of the last signature date, by an between the San Diego Association of Governments (“SANDAG”), 401 B Street, Suite 800, San Diego, California, and [JURISDICTION NAME], (“Grantee”), [Address]. This Agreement expires on [Month and Day, Year], unless amended in writing by mutual agreement of the parties. The following recitals are a substantive part of this Agreement: A. The SANDAG Board of Directors allocates funds under the TransNet local sales tax program to support local transportation-related infrastructure projects in the San Diego region through a competitive process. B. The TransNet Extension Ordinance contains provisions to fund the Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) for which funding began on April 1, 2008. The SGIP encompasses projects that better integrate transportation and land use and recognizes the comprehensive effort to integrate smart growth place making, access to transit, and environmental justice. C. In January 2010, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved Board Policy No. 035: Competitive Grant Program Procedures, which is available in its updated version at www.sandag.org/legal. This Agreement and the Grantee’s performance hereunder are subject to Board Policy No. 035, which includes multiple “use it or lose it” provisions. D. On November 19, 2021, SANDAG issued a call for projects from local jurisdictions in San Diego County wishing to apply for a portion of the TransNet SGIP funds for use on planning projects meeting certain criteria, and authorizing up to $3 million from the SGIP to be used for planning projects. E. On [Month, Day, Year], the SANDAG Board of Directors approved a list of recommended SGIP projects for the fifth competitive grant cycle, and one of those projects is the subject of this Agreement (Project). The Project Scope of Work, Schedule, and Budget are included as Attachment A. F. The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the terms and conditions for SANDAG to provide Grantee with funding to implement the Project. G. Although SANDAG will be providing financial assistance to Grantee to support the Project, SANDAG will not take an active role or retain substantial control of the Project. Therefore, this Agreement is characterized as a funding agreement rather than a cooperative agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows: DocuSign Envelope ID: A64D587D-804F-4BAE-9F8B-40AB26031679 2 I. GRANT AWARD A. The total amount payable by SANDAG to Grantee pursuant to this Agreement shall be the proportion of actual Project costs allocated to grant funding in Attachment A and shall not exceed the grant award of [dollar amount] (Fund Limit). B. It is agreed and understood that this Agreement Fund Limit is a ceiling and that SANDAG will only reimburse the allowable cost of services actually rendered as authorized by SANDAG at or below the Fund Limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee understands that TransNet funds derive from retail transactions and use tax revenues, which fluctuate. The SANDAG funding commitment to SGIP Projects, including this Project, is subject to these fluctuations, which may impact funding availability for this Project. C. Grantee’s is included in the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP). The TransNet MPO ID for the Project is [ID Number]. II. PROJECT BUDGET Except to the extent that SANDAG determines otherwise in writing, the Grantee agrees as follows: The Grantee and SANDAG have agreed to a Project Budget that is set forth in Attachment A. The Grantee and/or third-party contractor(s) will incur obligations to the Project only as authorized by the Project Budget. An amendment to the Project Budget requires the issuance of a formal amendment to the Agreement per Board Policy No. 035, unless the re-allocation of funds among budget items or fiscal years does not increase the Fund Limit, does not exceed an aggregate of ten percent for any particular task in Attachment A, does not negatively impact the benefits obtained from the Project, and is consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and policies. Prior written SANDAG Grants Program Manager approval is required for transfers of funds between tasks in Attachment A that meet these eligibility criteria for an administrative amendment by SANDAG staff. All other amendments are subject to approval by a SANDAG Policy Advisory Committee or the SANDAG Board of Directors. III. MATCHING FUNDS Grantee agrees to provide matching funds in an amount of [dollar amount] of the actual cost of the Project, estimated to be [number including two decimals (e.g., 15.00)] percent based on the Project Budget. If the actual cost of the Project exceeds the Project Budget, Grantee is responsible for 100 percent of the actual cost greater than the Project Budget. A. Availability of Grant Funding Except where expressly allowed in writing herein, credits for matching funds will be made or allowed only for work performed on and after the Notice to Proceed date and prior to the termination date of this Agreement, unless expressly permitted by SANDAG in writing. B. Reduction of Matching Funds The Grantee agrees that no reduction in the amount of matching funds may be made unless a reduction of the proportional share of the grant funding provided by SANDAG under this Agreement also is made. C. Prompt Payment of Grantee’s Share of Matching Funds Grantee agrees to complete all actions necessary to provide its share of the Project costs at or before the time the matching funds are needed from Grantee to pay for Project costs. The Grantee agrees to provide not less than its cumulative required match amount of Project costs prior to invoicing SANDAG for reimbursement. Each of Grantee’s invoices must include its matching fund DocuSign Envelope ID: A64D587D-804F-4BAE-9F8B-40AB26031679 3 contribution, along with supporting, descriptive and/or explanatory documentation for the matching funds provided. IV. PROJECT MANAGERS Grantee’s Project Manager is [Project Manager]. The SANDAG Project Manager is Tracy Ferchaw. Project manager continuity and experience is deemed essential in Grantee’s ability to carry out the Project in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Grantee shall not change the Project Manager without first providing written notice to SANDAG. Grantee shall provide SANDAG with updated contact information in a timely manner if there are any changes to its Project Manager. V. NOTICE All notices required to be given, by either party to the other, shall be deemed fully given when made in writing and received by the parties at their respective addresses: San Diego Association of Governments Attention: Grants Program Manager 401 B Street, Suite 800 San Diego, CA 92101 Grantee: [Jurisdiction Name] Attention: [Project Manager] [Address] [City, CA, ZIP] VI. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION A. General The Grantee agrees to carry out the Project as follows: 1. Project Description Grantee agrees to perform the work as described in the Scope of Work included in Attachment A. 2. Grantee's Capacity The Grantee agrees to maintain or acquire sufficient legal, financial, technical, and managerial capacity to: (a) plan, manage, and complete the Project as described in Attachment A and provide for the use of any Project property; (b) carry out any safety and security aspects of the Project; and (c) comply with the terms of the Agreement and all applicable laws, regulations, and policies pertaining to the Project and the Grantee, including but not limited to the TransNet Extension Ordinance and Board Policy No. 035. 3. Project Schedule The Grantee agrees to complete the Project according to the Project Schedule included in Attachment A and in compliance with Board Policy No. 035. DocuSign Envelope ID: A64D587D-804F-4BAE-9F8B-40AB26031679 4 4. Project Implementation and Oversight Requirements Grantee agrees to comply with the Performance Measures included in Attachment B. 5. Changes to Project Scope of Work This Agreement was awarded to Grantee based on the application submitted by Grantee with the intention that the awarded funds would be used to implement the Project as described in the project application. Any substantive deviation from Grantee’s Scope of Work during project implementation may require reevaluation or result in loss of funding. If Grantee knows or should have known that substantive changes to the Project will occur or have occurred, Grantee will immediately notify SANDAG in writing. SANDAG will then determine whether the Project is still consistent with the overall objectives of the grant program and whether the changes would have negatively affected the Project ranking during the competitive grant evaluation process. SANDAG reserves the right to have grant funding withheld from Grantee, or refunded to SANDAG, due to Grantee’s failure to satisfactorily complete the Project or due to substantive changes to the Project not approved in advance by SANDAG. B. Application of Laws Should a federal or state law pre-empt or conflict with a local law, policy, or the TransNet Extension Ordinance, the Grantee must comply with the federal or state law and implementing regulations. No provision of this Agreement requires the Grantee to observe or enforce compliance with any provision, perform any other act, or do any other task in contravention of federal, state, territorial, or local law, regulation, or ordinance. If compliance with any provision of this Agreement violates or would require the Grantee to violate any law, the Grantee agrees to notify SANDAG immediately in writing. Should this occur, SANDAG and the Grantee agree that they will make appropriate arrangements to proceed with or, if necessary, terminate the Project or affected portions thereof expeditiously. C. Changes in Project Performance The Grantee agrees to notify SANDAG immediately, in writing, of any change in local law, conditions (including its legal, financial, or technical capacity), or any other event, including a force majeure event, that may adversely affect the Grantee's ability to perform the Project in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and as required by Board Policy No. 035. The Grantee also agrees to notify SANDAG immediately, in writing, of any current or prospective major dispute, breach, default, or litigation that may adversely affect SANDAG's interests in the Project; and agrees to inform SANDAG, also in writing, before naming SANDAG as a party to litigation for any reason, in any forum. At a minimum, the Grantee agrees to send each notice to SANDAG required by this subsection to SANDAG’s Grants Program Manager. D. Compliance Information System (CIS) If Grantee will utilize persons other than its own employees to carry out work, Grantee and all of its third party contractors and/or subcontractors (hereinafter “subcontractors”) shall report payment details using the SANDAG web-based CIS by the 15th of each month following receipt of payment by SANDAG. CIS allows SANDAG to monitor promptness of payment to subcontractors and will allow Grantee and its subcontractors to manage their own records, maintain accurate contract information, and report payment details online. CIS is mandatory for Grantee and subcontractors to use unless SANDAG instructs otherwise. After execution of this Agreement, Grantee will receive instructions on how to set up its account and enter required subcontractor data into CIS via an internet browser. Grantee must require each of its subcontractors to enter required payment information into CIS. Failure of Grantee or its subcontractors to enter required information and confirm payments on a timely basis will result in delay of payment by SANDAG to Grantee until DocuSign Envelope ID: A64D587D-804F-4BAE-9F8B-40AB26031679 5 Grantee has cured any defects or provided the missing information. Should Grantee fail to provide the required information, SANDAG shall have sole discretion regarding whether to withhold payment or terminate this Agreement. E. Licenses and Permits Grantee represents and warrants to SANDAG that Grantee and its subcontractors will have all necessary licenses, permits, qualifications and approvals of whatever nature that are required to legally practice its profession and/or perform services under this Agreement at all times during the term of this Agreement. F. Standard of Care Grantee expressly warrants that the work to be performed pursuant to this Agreement shall be performed in accordance with the applicable standard of care. Where approval by SANDAG, its management, or other representative of SANDAG is indicated in the Scope of Work, it is understood to be conceptual approval only and does not relieve the Grantee of responsibility for complying with all laws, codes, industry standards, and liability for damages caused by negligent acts, errors, omissions, noncompliance with industry standards, or the willful misconduct of the Grantee or its subcontractors. G. Third-Party Contracting Although the Grantee may delegate any or almost all Project responsibilities to one or more third- party contractors, the Grantee agrees that it, rather than any third-party contractor, is ultimately responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and this Agreement. The first invoice utilizing any third-party contractor shall be accompanied by evidence of compliance with the following requirements: 1. Competitive Procurement Grantee shall not award contracts over $10,000 on the basis of a noncompetitive procurement for work to be performed under this Agreement without the prior written approval of SANDAG. Contracts awarded by Grantee, if intended as local match credit, must meet the requirements set forth in this Agreement regarding local match funds. Upon request by SANDAG, Grantee shall submit its Request for Proposals or bid solicitation documents to SANDAG staff for review and comment for consistency with the agreed upon Scope of Work with SANDAG and to ensure a competitive process was used. If Grantee hires a third-party contractor to carry out work funded under this Agreement, Grantee shall: prepare an Independent Cost Estimate prior to soliciting proposals/bids; publicly advertise for competing proposals/bids for the work; for professional services, use cost as a significant evaluation factor in selecting the third-party contractor; document a record of negotiation establishing that the amount paid by Grantee for the work is fair and reasonable; and pass through the relevant obligations in this Agreement to the contractor. 2. Debarment Grantee shall execute and cause its third-party contractors to execute debarment and suspension certificates stating they have not been disqualified from doing business with government entities. The documentation showing lack of debarment shall be obtained from the following two websites: DocuSign Envelope ID: A64D587D-804F-4BAE-9F8B-40AB26031679 6 • Grantee will check the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov to verify the prime contractor and all of its subcontractors are not currently debarred or suspended by the federal government. • Entities in the United States are banned from doing business with companies with ownership based in countries such as Cuba, Sudan and China due to United States trade sanctions. A search on the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) website can ensure Grantee will not be doing business with a vendor that is subject to trade sanctions. This can be done at https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/. 3. Flowdown Grantee agrees to take appropriate measures necessary, including the execution of a subagreement, lease, third-party contract, or other, to ensure that all Project participants, including alternate payees or third-party contractors at any tier, comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, policies affecting Project implementation and Agreement requirements. In addition, if an entity other than the Grantee is expected to fulfill any responsibilities typically performed by the Grantee, the Grantee agrees to assure that the entity carries out the Grantee’s responsibilities as set forth in this Agreement. 4. No SANDAG Obligations to Third Parties In connection with the Project, the Grantee agrees that SANDAG shall not be subject to any obligations or liabilities to any subcontractor, lessee, third-party contractor at any tier or other person or entity that is not a party to the Agreement for the Project. Notwithstanding that SANDAG may have concurred in or approved any solicitation, subagreement, lease, alternate payee designation, or third-party contract at any tier, SANDAG has no obligations or liabilities to any entity other than the Grantee. 5. Equipment Purchases Grantee shall maintain ownership of any equipment purchased using Agreement funding and shall use such equipment only for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. The parties agree to meet and confer in good faith to ensure the continued use of the equipment for the purposes intended, which may include reimbursement to SANDAG when the fair market value of the equipment at Project completion exceeds $5,000. SANDAG and Grantee further agree that Grantee shall keep an inventory record for each piece of equipment purchased under this Agreement and maintain each piece of equipment in good operating order consistent with the purposes for which they were intended. SANDAG shall have the right to conduct periodic maintenance inspections for the purpose of confirming the existence, condition, and proper maintenance of the equipment. VII. ETHICS A. Grantee Code of Conduct/Standards of Conduct The Grantee agrees to maintain a written code of conduct or standards of conduct that shall govern the actions of its officers, employees, council or board members, or agents engaged in the award or administration of subagreements, leases, or third-party contracts supported with the grant funding. The Grantee agrees that its code of conduct or standards of conduct shall specify that its officers, employees, council or board members, or agents may neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from any present or potential subcontractor, lessee, or third-party contractor at any tier or agent thereof. The Grantee may set de minimis rules where the financial interest is not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal intrinsic value. The Grantee agrees that its code of conduct or standards of conduct shall also prohibit its officers, employees, DocuSign Envelope ID: A64D587D-804F-4BAE-9F8B-40AB26031679 7 board members, or agents from using their respective positions in a manner that presents a real or apparent personal or organizational conflict of interest or personal gain. As permitted by state or local law or regulations, the Grantee agrees that its code of conduct or standards of conduct shall include penalties, sanctions, or other disciplinary actions for violations by its officers, employees, council or board members, or their agents, or its third-party contractors or subcontractors or their agents. B. Personal Conflicts of Interest The Grantee agrees that its code of conduct or standards of conduct shall prohibit the Grantee's employees, officers, council or board members, or agents from participating in the selection, award, or administration of any third-party contract or subagreement supported by the grant funding if a real or apparent conflict of interest would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when an employee, officer, board member, or agent, including any member of his or her immediate family, partner, or organization that employs, or intends to employ, any of the parties listed herein has a financial interest in a firm competing for award. C. Organizational Conflicts of Interest The Grantee agrees that its code of conduct or standards of conduct shall include procedures for identifying and preventing real and apparent organizational conflicts of interest. An organizational conflict of interest exists when the nature of the work to be performed under a proposed third-party contract or subagreement may, without some restrictions on future activities, result in an unfair competitive advantage to the third-party contractor or subcontractor or impair its objectivity in performing the contract work. D. SANDAG Code of Conduct SANDAG has established policies concerning potential conflicts of interest. These policies apply to Grantee. For all awards by SANDAG, any practices which might result in unlawful activity are prohibited including, but not limited to, rebates, kickbacks, or other unlawful considerations. SANDAG staff members are specifically prohibited from participating in the selection process when those staff have a close personal relationship, family relationship, or past (within the last 12 months), present, or potential business or employment relationship with a person or business entity seeking a contract with SANDAG. It is unlawful for any contract to be made by SANDAG if any individual Board member or staff has a prohibited financial interest in the contract. Staff also are prohibited from soliciting or accepting gratuities from any organization seeking funding from SANDAG. SANDAG’s officers, employees, agents, and board members shall not solicit or accept gifts, gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from consultants, potential consultants, or parties to subagreements. By signing this Agreement, Grantee affirms that it has no knowledge of an ethical violation by SANDAG staff or Grantee. If Grantee has any reason to believe a conflict of interest exists with regard to the Agreement or the Project, it shall notify the SANDAG Office of General Counsel immediately. E. Bonus or Commission The Grantee affirms that it has not paid, and agrees not to pay, any bonus or commission to obtain approval of its grant funding application for the Project. F. False or Fraudulent Statements or Claims The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that by executing the Agreement for the Project, the Grantee certifies or affirms the truthfulness and accuracy of each statement it has made, it makes, or it may make in connection with the Project, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s grant application, progress reports and invoices. DocuSign Envelope ID: A64D587D-804F-4BAE-9F8B-40AB26031679 8 VIII. PAYMENTS A. Method of Payment The method of payment for this Agreement will be based upon actual, substantiated, and allowable costs described herein. B. Alternate Payee If the Grantee designates a party as an Alternate Payee, Alternate Payee is authorized to submit payment requests directly to SANDAG to receive reimbursement for allowable Project costs. This does not alleviate Grantee from all obligations under this Grant Agreement. C. Invoicing Grantee or Alternate Payee is required to submit invoices quarterly. Invoices must be accompanied by a quarterly report (template to be provided by SANDAG). SANDAG will make payments for eligible amounts to Grantee or Alternate Payee as promptly as SANDAG fiscal procedures permit upon receipt of Grantee’s or Alternate Payee’s itemized signed invoice(s) and confirmation by the SANDAG Project Manager that Grantee is in compliance with the reporting and other requirements in this Agreement. SANDAG shall retain 10 percent from the amounts invoiced until satisfactory completion of the Project. SANDAG shall promptly pay retention amounts to Grantee or Alternate Payee following satisfactory completion of work, receipt of final invoice, and all required documentation. D. Eligible Costs The Grantee agrees that Project costs eligible for grant funding must comply with the following requirements, unless SANDAG determines otherwise in writing. To be eligible for reimbursement, Project costs must be: 1. Consistent with the Project Scope of Work, Schedule and Project Budget, and other provisions of the Agreement. 2. Necessary in order to accomplish the Project. 3. Reasonable for the goods or services purchased. 4. Actual net costs to the Grantee (i.e., the price paid minus any refunds, rebates, or other items of value received by the Grantee that have the effect of reducing the cost actually incurred, excluding program income). Project generated revenue realized by the Grantee shall be used in support of the Project. Project generated revenue and expenditures, if any, shall be reported at the end of the Agreement period. 5. Incurred for work performed on or after the SANDAG Notice to Proceed date, and before the termination date, and also must have been paid for by the Grantee. 6. Satisfactorily documented with supporting documentation, which is to be submitted with each invoice. Copies of invoices are required for goods or services provided by third parties. 7. Treated consistently in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and procedures for the Grantee and any third-party contractors and subcontractors, (see Section entitled “Accounting Records”). 8. Eligible for grant funding as part of the grant program through which the funds were awarded. DocuSign Envelope ID: A64D587D-804F-4BAE-9F8B-40AB26031679 9 9. Indirect Costs are only allowable with prior SANDAG approval. Grantee must submit the following documentation as part of the grant application materials: (1) an indirect cost allocation audit approved by a qualified independent auditor or (2) the applicant’s proposed method for allocating indirect costs in accordance with federal guidelines. Indirect cost allocation plans must be reviewed and renewed annually. E. Excluded Costs In determining the amount of TransNet Ordinance Assistance SANDAG will provide for the Project, SANDAG will exclude: 1. Any Project cost incurred by the Grantee before the Effective Date of the Agreement or applicable Amendment thereto 2. Any cost that is not included in the Project Budget 3. Any cost for Project property or services received in connection with a subagreement, lease, third-party contract, or other arrangement that is required to be, but has not been, concurred in or approved in writing by SANDAG 4. Any cost ineligible for SANDAG participation as provided by applicable laws, regulations, or policies 5. Any cost incurred for a common or joint purpose benefitting more than one cost objective, and not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved (any indirect cost). Typical indirect costs include facilities and administration costs such as heat/air conditioning, lighting, payroll, and the entity’s accounting system. Administrative costs such as clerical and support staff salaries also are most often treated as indirect costs. The Grantee understands and agrees that payment to the Grantee for any Project cost does not constitute SANDAG’s final decision about whether that cost is allowable and eligible for payment under the Project and does not constitute a waiver of any violation by the Grantee of the terms of this Agreement or Board Policy No. 035. The Grantee acknowledges that SANDAG will not make a final determination about the allowability and eligibility of any cost until the final payment has been made on the Project or the results of an audit of the Project requested by SANDAG or its Independent Taxpayers’ Oversight Committee (ITOC) has been completed, whichever occurs latest. If SANDAG determines that the Grantee is not entitled to receive any portion of the grant funding requested or paid, SANDAG will notify the Grantee in writing, stating its reasons. The Grantee agrees that Project closeout will not alter the Grantee's responsibility to return any funds due to SANDAG as a result of later refunds, corrections, performance deficiencies, or other similar actions; nor will Project closeout alter SANDAG's right to disallow costs and recover funds provided for the Project on the basis of a later audit or other review. Upon notification to the Grantee that specific amounts are owed to SANDAG, whether for excess payments of grant funding, disallowed costs, or funds recovered from third parties or elsewhere, the Grantee agrees to promptly remit to SANDAG the amounts owed, including applicable interest, penalties and administrative charges. IX. ACCOUNTING, REPORTING, RECORD RETENTION, AND ACCESS A. Project Accounts The Grantee and/or Alternate Payee agree to establish and maintain for the Project either a separate set of accounts or separate accounts within the framework of an established accounting system that can be identified with the Project. The Grantee and/or Alternate Payee also agree to maintain documentation of all checks, payrolls, invoices, contracts, vouchers, orders, or other DocuSign Envelope ID: A64D587D-804F-4BAE-9F8B-40AB26031679 10 accounting documents related in whole or in part to the Project so that they may be clearly identified, readily accessible, and available to SANDAG upon request and, to the extent feasible, kept separate from documents not related to the Project. B. Reports 1. The Grantee agrees to submit to SANDAG all reports required by law and regulation, policy, this Agreement, or any other reports SANDAG may specify. SANDAG reserves the right to specify that records be submitted in particular formats. Grantee may be required to attend meetings of SANDAG staff and committees, including but not limited to the Regional Planning Committee and the SANDAG Board of Directors, to report on its progress and respond to questions from Board Members or the public. 2. Grantee’s performance shall be monitored for consistency with the Scope of Work. SANDAG will utilize the SANDAG Grant Monitoring Checklist (Attachment C) and Performance Measures (Attachment B), to document compliance with this Agreement. Grantee’s performance will be measured against the Performance Measures during the term of this Agreement. If the Grantee does not comply with provisions in this Agreement or achieve minimum performance requirements, SANDAG will issue Grantee a written Notice to Complete a Recovery Plan. Grantee’s Recovery Plan shall include a detailed description of how Grantee intends to come into compliance with the Performance Measures. Grantee’s Recovery Plan must include an implementation schedule that reflects achievement of its performance measure minimums within three months following the issue date of the SANDAG Notice to Complete a Recovery Plan. Grantee must submit its Recovery Plan to the SANDAG Project Manager within 30 calendar days following the issue date of the SANDAG Notice to Complete a Recovery Plan. If Grantee’s performance is inconsistent with that proposed in its Recovery Plan, SANDAG in its sole discretion may terminate this Agreement. 3. Grantee must submit quarterly reports and invoices to SANDAG, detailing accomplishments in the quarter, anticipated progress next quarter, pending issues and actions toward resolution, and status of budget, schedule, and Performance Measure. Grantee will not be paid until all reports are completed and provided to SANDAG in the format SANDAG requires. Furthermore, the Grantee agrees to provide project milestone information (such as presentations to community groups, other agencies, and elected officials, groundbreakings, and ribbon-cuttings) to support media and communications efforts. Grantee needs to document and track in-kind contributions designated as matching funds as part of project management. Grantee must provide all deliverables identified in the Scope of Work. 4. Press materials shall be provided to SANDAG staff before they are distributed.
