Such reduction shall be at the discretion of the FAA and will be based on the type or types of required tests not performed or not documented and will be commensurate with the proportion of applicable pavement with respect to the total pavement constructed under the grant agreement. d. The FAA, at its discretion, reserves the right to conduct independent tests and to reduce grant payments accordingly if such independent tests determine that sponsor test results are inaccurate. 15. The Sponsor agrees to monitor progress on the work to be accomplished by this grant. For consultant services, the Sponsor agrees to make payment for work that has been satisfactorily completed.
