IDOT OVERSIGHT AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Clause Samples

IDOT OVERSIGHT AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. A. IDOT Oversight and Reporting Requirements The IDOT is responsible for demonstrating to the FHWA how it is carrying out its responsibilities in accordance with this S&O Agreement. In order to fulfill this responsibility, the IDOT will meet its responsibilities in accordance with Illinois control documents, which are listed in Attachment C. The IDOT will consult with FHWA in accordance with Attachment A when IDOT considers deviating from the control documents, which represent established policies, guidance, standard procedures, and programmatic agreements. With FHWA approval, IDOT may implement an alternative approach to meeting State and Federal requirements. IDOT will assume all responsibilities in accordance with Section 106 of Title 23. This applies to all design activities, Plan, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) approvals, concurrence in awards, and all construction and maintenance activities. This precludes the need for any FHWA approval or concurrence, except for those actions that require FHWA approval outside of Title 23 U.S.C., such as NEPA (42 USC 4321 et seq), Title VI of the Civil Rights Act (42 USC 2000d et seq), Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3601 et seq), and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Land Acquisitions Policies Act (42 USC 4601 et seq). Project level actions from FHWA are summarized in Attachment A. The IDOT will ensure the appropriate approvals are obtained and the appropriate documentation is submitted. For all Federal-aid projects on the NHS, under State or Local jurisdiction, IDOT will conduct all final inspections in lieu of FHWA to ensure the work was completed in substantial conformance with the approved PS&E. Although FHWA may request to participate in a PoDI’s final inspection, IDOT will still have the lead in completing this action. The process by which PoDI’s are coordinated between IDOT and FHWA is outlined in Attachment D.
