Project Agreement End Date. Enter your previously established Project Agreement End Date. If authorizing a new phase of the project, update the Project Agreement End Date based on the following guidance:
Project Agreement End Date. Enter the Project Agreement End Date (mm/dd/yy). This date is based on the project’s Period of Performance (2 CFR 200.309). For Planning Only projects – WSDOT recommends agencies estimate the end of the project’s period of performance and add three years to determine the “Project Agreement End Date”. For PE and RW – WSDOT recommends agencies estimate when the phase will be completed and add three years to determine the “Project Agreement End Date”. For Construction – WSDOT recommends agencies estimate when construction will be completed and add three years to determine the “Project Agreement End Date”.
Project Agreement End Date. All projects are required to have a Period of Performance which includes both a begin date and an end date. A project’s begin date is the date of FHWA authorization. Local agencies will be required to supply an estimated Project Agreement End Date for each federally authorized phase of a project. To ensure adequate time for the delivery of local projects, which are subject to state environmental requirements, substantial community involvement, eminent domain, and coordination with other local projects, WSDOT recommends when establishing the “Project Agreement End Date” local agencies consider: • For Planning Only projects – WSDOT recommends local agencies estimate the end of the project’s period of performance and add three years. • For Preliminary Engineering (PE – design) and Right of Way (RW) – WSDOT recommends local agencies estimate when each phase will be completed and add three years to each, due to the complications that may arise with environmental requirements and approvals and negotiating right of way with property owners and railroads. • For Construction (CN) – WSDOT recommends local agencies estimate when construction will be completed and add three years, to provide adequate time to acquire all the necessary paperwork, releases, and negotiate any claims for closure of the project. Note: Any costs incurred after the “Project Agreement End Date” are NOT eligible for federal reimbursement. All eligible costs incurred prior to the Project Agreement End Date must be submitted within 60 calendar days after the Project Agreement End Date or they become ineligible for federal reimbursement.
