An accurate and precise budget will help define the <br /> scope of work proposed in your project. Up to 80% of planning, design, engineering, <br /> construction and administration costs are reimbursable by the federal government upon issuance <br /> of a federal letter of authorization. A minimum of 20% of these costs must be supplied by the <br /> local community. There is no state money in the program. This is NOT a grant program; this is <br /> a federal reimbursement program administered by TxDOT. <br /> t In planning your budget, talk with architects, design~rs, engineers, contractors, and other <br /> appropriate individuals. These individuals can help you design a budget that accurately reflects <br /> , the true cost of your project. <br /> If your project is selected tor implementation, the amount of federal funds awarded cannot be <br /> augmented if the project proves more expensive than originally planned. All cost overruns must <br /> be supplied by local sources. Additional funds cannot be allocated by the state or federal <br /> government to complete the project. The outline given on page 6 of the nomination form has <br /> been designed to assist you in planning your budget. <br /> Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program Page A6 <br />
