(a) Allowable costs. A county may receive money from
the fund only as reimbursement of allowable costs related to the transportation
infrastructure projects listed in accordance with this subchapter.
Allowable costs are the necessary project related expenditures properly
attributable to the work performed.
(1) The county must request reimbursement using the
forms and procedures specified by the department.
(2) Reimbursement will be made in accordance with generally
accepted cost accounting practices on the basis of direct and related
indirect costs that are incurred after the department makes the grant
award under §15.190 of this subchapter (relating to Notice of
Award).
(3) The department, on the request of a county, will
make intermediate payments not more often than monthly.
(b) Audit. All county cost records and accounts relating
to a project that receives money from the fund are subject to audit
by representatives of the department and other entities of the State
of Texas and, if applicable, the federal government, for a period
of three years after the date that final payment is received by the
county.
