<br /> <br /> CSJ # <br /> District # <br /> Code Chart 64 # <br /> Project: <br /> CFDA # <br /> <br /> Whenever American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds are used <br /> and the Local Government is performing any work, either directly or through a <br /> contractor, it must comply with the following provisions. If a Local Government is <br /> receiving ARRA funds, but is not performing any work, the following provisions apply, if <br /> appropriate, and to the extent necessary to comply with ARRA regulations. <br /> <br /> <br /> Additionally, the State, the Local Government, and the FHWA and their duly authorized <br /> representatives shall have access to all the governmental records that are directly <br /> applicable to this Agreement for the purpose of making audits, examinations, excerpts, <br /> and transcriptions. <br /> <br /> In accordance with Section 902 of the ARRA, should this agreement involve the <br /> expenditure of ARRA funds, then the U.S. Comptroller General and its representatives <br /> shall have the authority to: <br /> a. examine any records of the contractor or any of its subcontractors, or any State or <br /> local agency administering such contract, that directly pertain to, and involve <br /> transactions relating to the contract or subcontract; and <br /> b. interview any officer or employee of the contractor or any of its subcontractors, or <br /> any State or local agency administering the contract regarding such contracts. <br /> <br /> Nothing in the section previously mentioned shall be interpreted to limit or restrict in any <br /> way the existing authority of the Comptroller General. <br /> <br /> In accordance with Section 1515(a) of the ARRA, with respect to each contract or grant <br /> awarded using covered funds, any representative of an appropriate inspector general <br /> appointed under Section 3 or 8G of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App.), is <br /> authorized: <br /> a. to examine any records of the contractor or grantee, any of its subcontractors <br /> or subgrantees, or any State or local agency administering such contract that <br /> pertain to and involve transactions relating to the contract, subcontract, grant, <br /> or subgrant; and <br /> b. to interview any officer or employee of the contractor, grantee or subgrantee, <br /> or agency regarding such transactions. <br /> <br /> Section 1515(b) further provides that nothing in the section previously mentioned shall be <br /> interpreted to limit or restrict in any way the existing authority of an inspector general. <br /> <br /> The ARRA requires that the Contractor report monthly employment information for its <br /> firm as well as that of all of its subcontractors. The Contractor, similarly, shall include <br /> this reporting requirement in all of its subcontracts. Failing to include the requirement in <br /> agreements with subcontractors can serve as grounds for contract termination. <br /> <br /> Form FHWA-1589, Monthly Employment Report, promulgated by the Federal Highway <br /> Administration (FHWA), captures the necessary monthly employment information and <br /> shall be submitted by the Contractor on a regular basis to the LG (Local Government).
