ITEM 8 - INSPECTION AND AUDIT <br /> Grantee shall permit, and shall require its contractors and auditors to permit, the <br /> Department, and any authorized agent of the Department, to inspect all work, <br /> materials, payrolls, audit working papers, and other data and records pertaining to <br /> the Project; and to audit the books, records, and accounts of the Grantee with <br /> regard to the Project. The Department may, at its sole discretion and at its own <br /> expense, perform a final audit of the Project. Such audit may be used for <br /> settlement of the grant and Project closeout. <br /> Grantee agrees to permit the Department to conduct scheduled or unscheduled <br /> inspections of Grantee's public transportation services. Such inspections shall be <br /> conducted at reasonable times, without unreasonable disruption or interference with <br /> any transportation service or other business activity of the Grantee or any Service <br /> Board. <br /> Grantee agrees to notify the Department of any pending federal triennial review as <br /> soon as it is scheduled and to permit the Department to attend same. <br /> ITEM 9 - GRANTEE'S INDEPENDENT AUDIT <br /> Grantee shall select an independent Certified Public Accountant to perForm an audit <br /> pursuant to the requirements of Section 653.410 of the Rules. The standards for <br /> selection of the auditor and the scope and contents of the audit are contained in <br /> Section 653.410 of the Rules; Grantee and its auditor shall become familiar with the <br /> Rules and adhere to its provisions in completion of the audit. The audit shall also <br /> be completed in conformity with the Single Audit Act (31 USC 7501 et seq), and <br /> shall include a statement, if applicable, that any allocation of revenues and <br /> expenses to the program of approved expenditures funded under this Agreement is <br /> in accordance with a cost allocation plan approved by the Department. Grantee's <br /> audit must include a separate Schedule of Revenues and Expenses, as prescribed <br /> by the Department, for the grant made under this Agreement which clearly identifies <br /> total expenditures and revenues, eligible expenses and revenues, and any <br /> operating deficit; and includes a final reconciliation statement of overpayments <br /> payable to or underpayments due from the State. Grantee's independent audit <br /> shall be submitted to the Department no later than 180 days following the last day <br /> of the fiscal year. <br /> ITEM 10 - PROJECT CLOSEOUT <br /> Grantee agrees to implement any audit findings contained in the Department's final <br /> audit, the Grantee's independent audit, or as a result of any duly authorized <br /> inspection or review. Upon the Department's acceptance of final audit results, the <br /> Department may arrange for a final reconciliation payment to or from Grantee, as <br /> necessary. The Department shall consider the Project closed when the <br /> reconciliation payment is made, either by the Department or by Grantee. The <br /> Department shall send notification to Grantee that the grant is closed. Payment <br /> issues, audit issues or any other matters pertaining to the grant may not be <br /> subsequently raised and are forever settled upon Project closeout. Closeout shall <br /> be subject to any continuing obligations imposed on the Grantee by this Agreement <br /> or contained in the final notification from the Department. <br /> 5 <br />
