STATE OF TEXAS X
COUNTY OF TRAVIS X
THIS CONTRACT made by and between the State of Texas acting by and through
the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation, hereinafter called the
"State ", and the City of Round Rock, hereinafter called the "Grantee ".
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, under Section 18 of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as
amended, Federal funds were authorized for public transportation in rural and small
urban areas in order to enhance the access of persons in those areas for purposes
such as health care, shopping, education, recreation, public services and employment
by encouraging the maintenance, development, improvement and use of passenger trans-
portation systems; and,
WHEREAS, Section 18 further authorizes funds for technical assistance to
include project planning, program development, management development, coordination
of public transportation programs and such research as the State may deem appropriate
to promote effective means of delivering public transportation service in non - urbanized
areas; and,
WHEREAS, the Governor of the State of Texas has designated the State Depart-
ment of Highways and Public Transportation to administer the program; and,
WHEREAS, the Grantee has been approved by the Federal Highway Administration
and the Urban Mass Transportation Administration as a recipient agency to receive
technical assistance funds from this program through the State;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set
forth the parties hereto agree as follows:

provisions of Part 1 -15 of the Federal Procurement Regulations not to exceed the
maximum limiting amount specified in this Contract. It is understood that adjust-
ments may be required in the budget included in Attachment A. An adjustment may not

fiscal year during which the contract is completed. Prior to final payment, an
audit of the records supporting the costs claimed by the Grantee shall be made by
the State in accordance with standard State audit procedures and Federal audit pro-
cedures as outlined in OMB Circular A -102, Attachment P. The Grantee shall bear the
responsibility for all funds determined to be ineligible for Federal reimbursement
and shall refund to the State such funds. All records relating to this project shall
be maintained by the Grantee for three (3) years after final payment from the State

ment shall be included in this Contract as direct costs. The Grantee hereby certifie
that items of equipment included in direct costs have been excluded from the indirect
costs. Travel which exceeds the amount specified in the approved project budget in
Attachment A must have the prior approval of the State and the Federal Highway Admin-
istration. The Grantee will submit all subcontracts for work covered by this agreement
to the State for approval by the State and the Federal Highway Administration prior to
execution by the Grantee. All subcontracts entered into by the Grantee shall be subject
to the provisions contained in this agreement.
IV. Equipment purchased under this Contract shall be purchased using competitive
bidding procedures approved by the State and in accordance with the provisions of OMB
Circular A -102, Attachment 0. Specifications developed by the Grantee for equipment
purchases must be approved by the State and the Federal Highway Administration.
V. Project equipment shall be used for the technical study as described in
Attachment A. In the event that any project equipment is not used in the proper manner
or is withdrawn from the technical study, the Grantee shall immediately notify the State.
Further, the project shall be terminated if the completion of the project is, for any
reason, rendered improbable, impossible or illegal, or the Grantee shall be in default
under this Contract. Upon termination of the project, nonexpendable personal property
purchased under the project shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of
OMB Circular A -102, Attachment N, attached hereto as Attachment B. The Grantee shall
2
remit to the State the fair market value of such equipment. The procedure for
determining the fair market value shall be at the option of the State and the
Federal Highway Administration.
VI. The State and Federal Highway Administration shall be accorded proper
facilities for review and inspection of the work provided herein and shall at all
reasonable times have access to the premises and to all books, records, correspon-
dence, instructions, receipts, vouchers and memoranda of every description pertaining
to the technical study.
VII. The Grantee and its subcontractors will comply with all Federal, State
and local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, and the orders and
decrees of any court or administrative bodies or tribunals in any nature affecting
the performance of this Contract, including without limitation workmen's compensa-
tion laws, minimum and maximum salary and wage statutes and regulations. When required,
the Grantee shall furnish the State with satisfactory proof of its compliance therewith.
VIII. It is mutually agreed that all parties hereto shall be bound by the
provisions of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21, which was promulgated

requirements of Title 49, a copy of "Notice to Contractors - Compliance with Title VI
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for Federal-Aid Contracts" is marked Attachment C
attached hereto and made a part hereof.
IX. It is mutually agreed that all parties hereto shall be bound by the
provisions of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 27, which was promulgated
to effectuate Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1373. In particular,
the Grantee agrees that no otherwise qualified handicapped person shall, solely by
reason of his handicap, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of,
or otherwise be subject to discrimination under the project. The Grantee will conduct
any program or operate any facility funded as part of the project described in Attach-
ment A in compliance with all the requirements of Title 49.
X. It is the policy of the Department of Transportation that Minority
Business Enterprise as defined in 49 CFR Part 23 shall have the maximum opportunity
to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with

3
have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform contracts.

basis of race, color, national origin or sex in the award and performance of con-
tracts funded in whole or in part with Federal funds.
If as a condition of assistance the State Department of Highways and
Public Transportation has submitted and the U.S. Department of Transportation has
approved a minority business enterprise affirmative action program which the State
Department of Highways and Public Transportation agrees to carry out, this program
is incorporated into this financial assistance agreement by reference. This program
shall be treated as a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be
treated as a violation of this financial assistance agreement. Upon notification
to the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation of its failure to carry
