incorporated herein by reference, for the completion of the PROJECT is Four Hundred Forty-Six
Thousand, Eight hundred Sixty dollars and zero cents ($446,860.00). It is agreed that the

DEPARTMENT shall not be required to pay the Federal Share, if the Federal Share is not
provided to the DEPARTMENT by the Federal Highway Administration.
B. Allowable Costs
Allowable costs shall include both direct and indirect costs incurred by the
DESIGNATED AGENCY which is provided for in the budget estimate in Exhibit B and subject
to the maximum limitation prescribed in Article VI and the limitations outlined below:
1. Direct Cost
The DEPARTMENT shall pay to the DESIGNATED AGENCY for the performance of
this Agreement an amount equal to such direct costs as are incurred by the DESIGNATED
AGENCY and are chargeable to the PROJECT under generally accepted accounting principles
and as allowed in the Federal Acquisition Regulations, 49 CFR, Part 18, "Contracts with State,
Local, and Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments", and not prohibited by the laws of
the State of Georgia, including salaries and wages, and the cost of travel, and other
miscellaneous direct costs incurred by the DESIGNATED AGENCY. As specified in Article X,
the validity of the direct costs may be verified from the cost records of the DESIGNATED
AGENCY by authorized representatives of the DEPARTMENT and Federal Government as the
work progresses, and in any event, before final settlement of the DESIGNATED AGENCY'S
costs under this Agreement or amendments hereto.
The cost of any nonexpendable tools, instruments, or equipment used in the execution
and performance of the PROJECT shall not be an allowable direct cost when such items are of
the nature and kind of tools, instruments or equipment normally and generally used in an office
or laboratory, provided however that the cost of data processing equipment shall be an allowable
expense when such expenditure complies with the provisions of Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-87 & A-102 and is specifically detailed in Exhibit A and Exhibit
B of this Agreement. If at any time during the duration of the PROJECT data processing
equipment's useful life the DESIGNATED AGENCY fails to utilize such equipment for the
purpose of accomplishing the PROJECT the DEPARTMENT at its discretion may require the
DESIGNATED AGENCY to remit to the DEPARTMENT 100% of the DEPARTMENT'S
Federal and State Share of the fair market value, if any, of such equipment. For the purpose of
this Article, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the value of the equipment as determined
by an appraisal conducted as soon as feasible after such withdrawal or misuse occurs or the
actual proceeds from the public sale of such equipment, whichever is approved by the
DEPARTMENT.
The rate of compensation for work performed on the PROJECT by a professional staff
member or employee of the DESIGNATED AGENCY shall not exceed the salary rate that is
applicable to said person's other activities for the DESIGNATED AGENCY. Charges for
salaries and wages of the individuals will be supported by time and attendance and payroll
distribution records. Premiums pay for overtime, extra-pay shifts, and multi-shift work are not
reimbursable under this Agreement unless such costs are included in the budget estimate in
Exhibit B or unless such costs have been given prior written approval by the DEPARTMENT.
No expense for travel within or outside the State of Georgia shall be an allowable direct
cost under this Agreement unless such travel is listed in the budget estimate in Exhibit B, or
approved in advance by the DEPARTMENT. Staff from the DESIGNATED AGENCY seeking
travel approval should submit the details for the requested travel expenses to the
DEPARTMENT in advance and must include information on how the travel request will benefit
the transportation planning process of the DESIGNATED AGENCY. In addition, all expenses
for food, fuel, mileage, and lodging accommodations incurred from travel within or outside of
the State of Georgia shall be limited to the currently approved amounts posted on the United
States General Services Administration (GSA) website for the corresponding geographic
location. The DESIGNATED AGENCY shall retain travel receipts and records internally for
potential future audit purposes.
2. Indirect Costs
The DEPARTMENT shall reimburse the DESIGNATED AGENCY for such indirect
costs as are properly chargeable to the PROJECT under generally accepted accounting
principles and as allowed in the Federal Acquisition Regulations, 49 CFR, Part 18, "Contracts
with State, Local, and Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments", and not prohibited by
the laws of the State of Georgia. Such indirect costs consist of Fringe Benefits and Indirect
Personnel as listed Exhibit B. Fringe Benefits shall be reimbursed at a provisional rate of 98% of
the amount paid as direct salaries and wages to persons employed by the DESIGNATED
AGENCY on the PROJECT. Upon completion of the PROJECT, final payment for indirect
costs shall be determined by the DEPARTMENT'S audit of the DESIGNATED AGENCY'S
accounts to establish the actual allowable overhead rate experienced during the period of the
Agreement. It is understood; however, that the DEPARTMENT may accept a federal audit in
lieu of its own audit or at the DEPARTMENT'S option, the DEPARTMENT may accept an
audit by an independent accountant or accounting firm. The audit of an independent accountant
or accounting firm shall be made and reported in accordance with audit requirements, 49 CFR
Part 18.26, Part 18.36, and 23 CFR 12. The DESIGNATED AGENCY shall insure that the
independent accountant or accounting firm shall make available upon request to authorized
representatives of the DEPARTMENT all audit work papers pertaining to this AGREEMENT to
determine said final payment for indirect costs.
In the event that the DESIGNATED AGENCY'S actual allowable overhead rate during
the period of this Agreement is less than the provisional overhead rate established herein, the
DESIGNATED AGENCY shall reimburse the DEPARTMENT the difference between the
indirect cost actually paid and the actual allowable indirect cost as determined by the final audit
in accordance with the provisions of this Article.
The DESIGNATED AGENCY further agrees that the decision of the DEPARTMENT in
the establishment of the actual allowable overhead rate for final payment of indirect costs shall
be final.
The validity of these indirect cost payments may be verified from the indirect cost
records of the DESIGNATED AGENCY by authorized representatives of the DEPARTMENT
and Federal Government as the work progresses and in any event before final settlement of the
DESIGNATED AGENCY'S costs under this Agreement, or amendments hereto.
ARTICLE VII

5. Identify program responsibilities for each work element;
6. Prepare cost estimates and secure proposed funding sources;
7. Submit new UPWP for review and adoption by the ARTS Policy Committee.
On the other hand, for the South Carolina side of ARTS, SCDOT has switched to a two-year UPWP
and mandated that this will be the path forward for future UPWPs for all the MPOs and COGs in SC.
This became effective with during FY 2016 UPWP and the FY 2017 UPWP across SC. Therefore,the
UPWPs in SC now include tasks for two years and the MPOs and COGs will adopt a new UPWP every
other year.
23
Per SCDOT,in odd numbered years,the development of a new UPWP is performed. In other words,
in calendar year 2015, SCDOT mandated that the two-year UPWP as mentioned above (for both FY
2016 and FY 2017) be developed. Then, in even numbered years, SCDOT will merely confirm the
grant funds. In other words, in calendar year 2016, the grant funds for the FY 2017 UPWP will be
confirmed by SCDOT.
The South Carolina portion of ARTS MPO is currently in the last of the two-year FY 2016-2017
UPWP.
The MPO will consult with staff of other responsible agencies to determine activity descriptions,
funding sources, and agency responsibility for selected work elements. The MPO will compile this
information for the draft and final UPWP.

2014 Congestion Management System report was prepared. Staff conducted research on best
practices for measuring congestion to update the methodology and identify data resources.
Works Tasks: The purpose of the ARTS CMP is to document traffic congestion on major
transportation corridors in the study area, identify strategies for reducing or eliminating the
congestion,and track and/or program the implementation of congestion mitigation projects.Travel
time surveys are conducted selected transportation corridors each year. Congestion levels are then
determined based on how much the average speed recorded during the survey deviates from the
posted speed limit for each route or the extra time required to travel the corridor during the peak
hours compared to off-peak periods. Congestion mitigation strategies are then identified for each
route and tracked before and after implementation. Staff will create a regional transportation
system database to include data to effectively measure congestion.
The MPO is responsible for coordinating all CMP activities including surveying the CMP routes in
the Georgia part of the study area. The Aiken County Planning and Development Department

(hereinafter referred to as the "Contractor") agrees as follows:

the Regulations, including employment practices when the contract covers a program, set forth in Appendix B
of the Regulations. In addition, the Contractor will not participate either directly or indirectly in the
discrimination prohibited by 23 CFR 200(b).

solicitations, either by competitive bidding or negotiations made by the Contractor for work to be performed
under a subcontract, including procurement of materials or equipment, each potential subcontractor or
supplier shall be notified by the Contractor of the Contractor's obligations under this contract and the
Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the ground of race, color, national origin or sex.
(4) Information and Reports: The Contractor will provide all information and reports required by the
Regulations, to permit access to its books, records, accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as
may be determined by the Department of Transportation or the Federal Highway Administration to be
pertinent to ascertain compliance with such Regulations, orders and instructions. Where any information
required of a Contractor is in the exclusive possession of another who fails or refuses to furnish this
information, the Contractor shall so certify to the DEPARTMENT, or the Federal Highway Administration as
appropriate, and shall set forth what efforts it has made to obtain the information.

(b)cancellation,termination or suspension of the contract, in whole or in part.
(6) Incorporation of Provisions: The Contractor will include the provision of paragraphs (1)through (6)
in every subcontract, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment, unless exempt by the
Regulations, order, or instructions issued pursuant thereto. The Contractor will take such action with respect
to any subcontract or procurement as the DEPARTMENT or the Federal Highway Administration may direct
as a means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions for noncompliance. Provided, however, that in
the event a Contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or supplier as
a result of such direction, the Contractor may request the State to enter into such litigation to protect the
interests of the State, and in addition, the Contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation
