| (a) Requirement; content. Before receiving a grant
from the fund, a county must enter into an agreement with the department
under this section. The agreement must include, in addition to other
provisions, a commitment by the county to:
(1) place the transportation infrastructure project
on the county road system, if it is a county road not already on the
system;
(2) expend grant money received only on allowable costs
as provided in §15.192 of this subchapter (relating to Payment
of Money);
(3) comply with all applicable federal, state, and
local environmental laws and regulations and permitting requirements;
(4) maintain the road after completion of the proposed
work, if it is a county road;
(5) contribute to the department for each transportation
infrastructure project located on the state highway system, from the
amount awarded to the county from the fund and the county's matching
funds, if applicable, an amount equal to the allowable costs, as defined
by §15.192 of this subchapter, incurred by the department for
that project; and
(6) satisfy the requirements applicable to the county
under Transportation Code, §256.107 and §256.108.
(b) Amendment to agreement. Any amendment to the agreement
described in subsection (a) of this section must be in writing and
executed jointly by the executive director and the county. A county
may add a transportation infrastructure project to the prioritized
list described in its application submitted under §15.188 of
this subchapter (relating to Application Procedure), or a project
on the list may be moved forward or backward in priority if the county
submits to the department the requested revision and, for any added
project, contains the information required by §15.188(b)(1) and
(2) of this subchapter.
