Common use of Estimated Useful Life Clause in Contracts

Estimated Useful Life. Property that is acquired or improved, in whole or in part, with federal assistance is held in trust by the recipient for the purpose(s) for which the award was made for the Estimated Useful Life. Estimated Useful Life means the period of years that constitutes the expected useful lifespan of a project, as determined by Treasury, during which Treasury anticipates obtaining the benefits of the project pursuant to project purposes authorized by the RESTORE Act. For this award the recipient has proposed an Estimated Useful Life from the date of construction completion. Treasury’s issuance of the grant agreement represents its concurrence with the recipient’s proposed Estimated Useful Life. The recipient’s obligation to the federal government continues for the Estimated Useful Life of the project, as determined by Treasury, during which Treasury retains an undivided equitable reversionary interest (the "federal interest”) in the property improved, in whole or in part, with the Treasury investment. If Treasury determines that the recipient has failed or fails to meet its obligations under the terms and conditions of this award, Treasury may exercise its rights or remedies with respect to its federal interest in the project. However, Treasury’s forbearance in exercising any right or remedy in connection with the federal interest does not constitute a waiver thereof.
