entrance from Interstate 25 to Santa Fe Avenue and the east side of Santa Fe Avenue
for one block in each direction. The streetscape portion of the project will install
sidewalks, storm drainage inlets, decorative paving, landscaping, gateway feature
amenities, pedestrian lighting and enhanced pedestrian crossings. The City of Pueblo
Public Works Department and the Planning and Community Development Department

$408,750. The Contract outlines the general appropriations of funding for the project

time of construction. CDOT requires approval of the completed construction documents
and environmental clearances prior to bidding, advertising and construction of the
project.

determination of such appeals will be final and conclusive and serve as final agency action. This
dispute clause does not preclude consideration of questions of law in connection with decisions
provided for herein. Nothing in this contract, however, shall be construed as malting final the
decision of any administrative official, representative, or board on a question of law.

funds) in its fiscal year then this requirement does not apply.
b) If the Sub - Grantee expends more than $500,000 in Federal funds, but only received federal Highway
funds (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, CFDA 20.205) then a program specific audit shall be
performed. This audit will examine the "financial" procedures and processes for this program area.
b) If the Sub - Grantee expends more than $500,000 in Federal funds, and the Federal funds are from
multiple sources (FTA, HUD, NPS, etc.) then the Single Audit Act applies, which is an audit on the entire
organization/entity.
