Payment of the United States share of the allowable project costs will be made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of such regulations and procedures as the Secretary shall prescribe. Final determination of the United States share will be based upon the final audit of the total amount of allowable project costs and settlement will be made for any upward or downward adjustments to the Federal share of costs. 4. The sponsor shall carry out and complete the Project without undue delay and in accordance with the terms hereof, and such regulations and procedures as the Secretary shall prescribe, and agrees to comply with the assurances which were made part of the project application. 5. The FAA reserves the right to amend or withdraw this offer at any time prior to its acceptance by the sponsor. 6.

As a minimum, the program must conform with the provisions outlined below: PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM An effective pavement maintenance management program is one that details the procedures to be followed to assure that proper pavement maintenance, both preventive and repair, is performed. An airport sponsor may use any form of inspection program it deems appropriate. The program must, as a minimum, include the following: a. Pavement Inventory. The following must be depicted in an appropriate form and level of detail: (1) location of all runways, taxiways, and aprons; (2) dimensions; (3) type of pavement, and; (4) year of construction or most recent major rehabilitation. For compliance with the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) assurances, pavements that have been constructed, reconstructed, or repaired with federal financial assistance shall be so depicted. FAA Form 5100.37 (7190) b. Inspection Schedule. (1) Detailed Inspection. A detailed inspection must be performed at least once a year. If a history of recorded pavement deterioration is available, i.e., Pavement Condition Index (PCI) survey as set forth in Advisory Circular 150/5380 -6, "Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport Pavements," the frequency of inspections may be extended to three years. (2) Drive -By Inspection. A drive -by inspection must be performed a minimum of once per month to detect unexpected changes in the pavement condition. C. Record Keeping. Complete information on the findings of all detailed inspections and on the maintenance performed must be recorded and kept on file for a minimum of five years. The types of distress, their locations, and remedial action, scheduled or performed, must be documented. The minimum information to be recorded is listed below: (1) inspection date, (2) location, (3) distress types, and (4) maintenance scheduled or performed. For drive -by inspections, the date of inspection and any maintenance performed must be recorded. d. Information Retrieval. An airport sponsor may use any form of record keeping it deems appropriate, so long as the information and records produced by the pavement survey can be retrieved to provide a report to the FAA as may be required. e. Reference. Refer to Advisory Circular 150/5380 -6, "Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport Pavements," for specific guidelines and procedures for maintaining airport pavements and establishing an effective maintenance program. Specific types of distress, their probable causes, inspection guidelines, and recommended methods of repair are presented. 12. The Sponsor agrees to perform the following: a. Furnish a construction management program to FAA prior to the start of construction which shall detail the measures and procedures to be used to comply with the quality control provisions of the construction contract, including, but not limited to, all quality control provisions and tests required by the Federal specifications. The program shall include as a minimum: (1) The name of the person representing the Sponsor who has overall responsibility for contract administration for the project and the authority to take necessary actions to comply with the contract. (2) Names of testing laboratories and consulting engineer firms with quality control responsibilities on the project, together with a description of the services to be provided.

Submit at completion of the project, a final test and quality control report documenting the results of all tests performed, highlighting those tests that failed or did not meet the applicable test standard. The report shall include the pay reductions applied and the reasons for accepting any out -of- tolerance material. An interim test and quality control report shall be submitted, if requested by the FAA. c. Failure to provide a complete report as described in paragraph b, or failure to perform such tests, shall, absent any compelling justification, result in a reduction in Federal participation for costs incurred in connection with construction of the applicable pavement. 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. 13. Unless otherwise approved by the FAA, the Sponsor will not acquire or permit any contractor or subcontractor to acquire any steel or manufactured products produced outside the United States to be used for any project for airport development or noise compatibility for which funds are provided under this grant. The Sponsor will include in every contract a provision implementing this special condition. 14.
