The Local Governments shall provide the certificate of qualification to the State. The individual who receives the training certificate may be an employee of the Local Governments or an employee of a firm that has been contracted by the Local Governments to perform oversight of the Project. The State in its discretion may deny reimbursement if the Local Governments have not designated a qualified individual to oversee the Project. C. The State will be responsible for securing the Federal and State share of the funding required for the Project. If the Local is due funds for expenses incurred, these funds will be reimbursed to the Local Governments on a cost basis. D. The Local Governments will be responsible for all non-federal and non-state participation costs associated with the Project, including any overruns in excess of the approved local Project budget.
