NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree that the
above recitals are made a part of this agreement, that this Agreement is made to provide State financial
assistance to the Grantee in the form of a capital grant (hereinafter referred to as the "Grant "), to set forth the

application, is generally described as the design and construction of commuter parking at the Metra Heritage
Corridor Lemont station.
ITEM 3 - AMOUNT OF GRANT
The estimated Net Project Cost is $200,000. The Department agrees to make a Grant reimbursing the
Grantee in an amount equal to 100 percent of the actual Net Project Cost, as determined by the Department
upon completion of the Project, in an amount not to exceed $200,000; provided, however, the Department, at

Amendment to this Agreement exceed 100 percent of the actual Net Project Cost.
No liability shall be incurred by the State in excess of the aforementioned amount(s) of the Grant.
The Grantee agrees that it will provide, or cause to be provided from sources other than (a) State funds, (b)
federal funds, (c) receipts from the use of Project Facilities, or (d) operating revenues of the public
transportation system, funds in an amount equal to the actual Net Project Cost Tess the amount of the federal
fund(s) made in connection with this Grant and less the amount of the State Grant, as shown in the Approved
Project Budget. With the express written prior approval of the Department, all or part of this local share to be
contributed by the Grantee may be provided by the Grantee in the form of contributions of professional,
technical, or other services.
ITEM 4 - THE PROJECT BUDGET
The Approved Project Budget is set forth in Exhibit "B" hereto. A Project Budget shall be prepared and
maintained by the Grantee. The Grantee shall carry out the Project and shall incur obligations against and
make disbursements of project funds only in conformity with the latest Approved Project Budget. The
Approved Project Budget (except as otherwise provided in ITEM 11 (c)) may be revised from time to time by
approval by authorized Department personnel, but no Budget or revision thereof shall be effective unless and
until the Department shall have approved the same in writing.
ITEM 5 - DOCUMENTS FORMING THIS AGREEMENT

ITEM 6 - REVERSION OF GRANT FUNDS
a. Illinois Grant Funds Recovery Act - This Grant is subject to the Illinois Grant Funds Recovery Act,
30 ILCS 705/1. This Grant is valid until September 30, 2002, and grant funds are available to Grantee and
State Capital Grant 5
may be expended by Grantee until said date unless the Department, at its discretion, grants an extension
of time. Any grant funds which are not expended or legally obligated by the Grantee at the end of the
Grant Agreement or by the expiration of the period of time grant funds are available for expenditure or
obligation, whichever is earlier, shall be returned to the Department within 45 days. Project close -out shall
be in accordance with the Project Settlement & Close -Out ITEM of this Agreement. This date is subject to
further revision at the sole determination and discretion of the Department.
b. Failure to Appropriate Funds - This Grant and the processing of any requisitions and payment of
funds is contingent upon the availability of sufficient funds appropriated to the Department by the Illinois
General Assembly. The Grantee understands and agrees that the obligations of the Department to make
any grants or payments under this Agreement are conditional upon funds being appropriated therefore by
the General Assembly, and the Grantee shall not hold the Department liable for failure by the General
Assembly to appropriate sufficient funds for this Project.
ITEM 7 - ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE PROJECT
a. General Requirements - The Grantee shall commence, carry out, and complete the Project with all
practicable dispatch, in a sound, economical, and efficient manner, and in accordance with the provisions
of all documents listed in Item 5, above, and in compliance with all applicable laws and Department
guidelines.
b. Pursuant to Federal, State, and Local Law - In performance of its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement, the Grantee and its contractors shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state and
local law. All limits and standards set forth in this Agreement to be observed in the performance of the
Project are minimum requirements and shall not affect the application to the performance of the Project of
more restrictive local standards that are not inconsistent with the limits and standards of this Agreement.
The Grantee agrees that the most recent of such state requirements in effect will govern the administration
of this Agreement at any particular time, except if there is sufficient evidence in the Agreement of a
contrary intent. Such contrary intent might be evidenced by a letter signed by the Department, the
language of which modifies or otherwise conditions the text of a particular provision of this Agreement.
Likewise, new state laws, regulations, policies and administrative practices may be established after the
date the Agreement has been executed that may apply to this Agreement. To achieve compliance with
changing state requirements, the Grantee agrees to include in all sub - grantee agreements and third party
contracts financed in whole or in part with Department assistance specific notice that state requirements
may change and the changed requirements will apply to the Project.
c. Funds of the Grantee - The Grantee shall initiate and prosecute to completion all proceedings
necessary to enable the Grantee to provide its share of the Project costs at or prior to the time that such
funds are needed to meet Project costs.
d. Changed Conditions Affecting Performance - The Grantee shall immediately notify the Department of
any change in conditions or local law, or of any other event which may significantly affect its ability to
perform the Project in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
e. No State Obligations to Third Parties - The Department shall not be subject to any obligations or
liabilities by, through, or to contractors of the Grantee or their subcontractors or any other person not a
party to this Agreement in connection with the performance of this Project, without its express written
consent, notwithstanding its concurrence in or approval of the award of any contract or subcontract or the
solicitation thereof.
f. Illinois Law - This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.
State Capital Grant 6
ITEM 8 - CONTINUANCE OF SERVICE
The Grantee agrees to use its best efforts to continue to provide, either directly or by contract, as the case may
be, the service for which these Project Facilities are being acquired or constructed, as such services(s) is
described in the Grantee's final, approved application. No reduction or termination of such service shall be
made without compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory provisions. At least 30 days prior to (a)
any reduction or termination of such service or (b) the filing of a request for such reduction or termination with
the appropriate regulatory agency, whichever comes first, the Grantee shall give written notice of the proposed
action (or shall require the operator of such service to give such notice) to the Department and all units of local
government within the Grantee's service area.
ITEM 9 - REAL PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES
a. Use of Project Facilities - The Grantee agrees that the Project Facilities will be used for the provision
of mass transportation service within the Grantee's service area, substantially in the manner described in
the Grantee's final, approved application. Project Facilities may be used for incidental charter or sight-
seeing services when not needed for mass transportation service operations. Such Project Facilities shall
be used for (a) a period of twenty (20) years from the completion of the Project, or (b) the period of the
useful life of such Project Facilities as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and Department guidelines, whichever period of time is less. If, during such period, such Project
Facilities are not used for the Project as required by the terms of this Agreement, or are
sold or otherwise disposed of, or withdrawn from mass transportation service at the initiative of the
Grantee, the Grantee shall immediately notify the Department, and shall at the Department's discretion
and as provided in Department guidelines, remit to the State a proportional amount of the fair market
value, if any, of such Project Facilities.
If the Project Facilities include commuter parking, the Parties agree that users of the commuter parking
facilities funded by this Grant may be charged a fee for the use of such facilities, but the amount of such
fee shall be so established to meet reasonable maintenance and operating expenses, and to establish a
sinking fund to cover major rehabilitation, or for other transit related purposes as approved by the
Department in writing. The Project Facilities shall be equally available for use by all commuters regardless
of the place of residence, and there shall be no difference in the amount of fees charged to users of such
commuter parking facilities based on place of residence.
The Grantee shall keep satisfactory records with regard to the use of the Project Facilities and shall submit
to the Department, upon request, such information as the Department may require in order to assure
compliance with this ITEM, and the Grantee shall immediately notify the Department in all cases where
Project Facilities are used in a manner substantially different from that described in the Grantee's final
approved application. The Grantee shall maintain, in an amount(s) and form satisfactory to the
Department, such insurance or self- insurance as will be adequate to protect Project Facilities throughout
the period of required use. The cost of such insurance shall not be an item of allowable cost under this
Agreement. The Grantee shall also submit, from time to time, to the Department upon request, a
certification that the Project Facilities are still being used in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and further certify that no part of the local contribution to the cost of the Project has been refunded or
reduced.
b. Maintenance & Withdrawn Property - The Grantee agrees to maintain any Project Facilities at a high
level of cleanliness, safety, and mechanical soundness and in accordance with any guidelines,
directives, or regulations that the manufacturer, contractor, or the Department may issue, the stricter
standard shall apply unless excused by the Department. For vehicles, the manufacturer's suggested
maintenance and inspection schedule will be considered the minimum maintenance standard that must
State Capital Grant 7
be adhered to. The Department shall have the right to conduct periodic inspections for the purpose of
confirming proper maintenance pursuant to this Section. The Department reserves the right to require the
Grantee to restore, repair or replace Project Facilities or pay for damage as a result of abuse or misuse
of such Project Facilities. If, at any time during the useful life of the Project Facilities, any of the Project
Facilities are not used for the purposes specified in this Agreement, whether by planned withdrawal,
misuse or casualty loss, the Grantee shall immediately notify and receive approval from the Department
prior to disposing of such Project Facilities. Any such disposition shall be in accordance with Department
procedures.
(1) Interest in Property - Unless otherwise approved by the Department, the Grantee agrees to
remit to the Department the State interest in the fair market value, if any, of any item of the Project
Facilities whose unit value exceeds $5,000. The amount of that interest shall be determined on the
basis of the ratio of the assistance awarded by the Department for the Project to the actual cost of
the Project.
(2) Fair Market Value - The following requirements apply to the calculation of fair market value:
(A) Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Department, the fair market value of any of the
Project Facilities will be the value of that property at the time immediately before the occurrence
that prompted the withdrawal of the Project Facilities from transit use. The fair market value
shall be calculated by the one of the following: (1) appraised value, (2) on a straight line
depreciation of the Project Facilities, based on a useful life approved by the Department
irrespective of the reason for withdrawal of Project Facilities from transit use, or (3) the actual
proceeds from the public sale of such property, whichever method is approved by the
Department. Any appraiser employed for such purposes shall be subject to the prior approval of
the Department.
The fair market value of any of the Project Facilities lost or damaged by casualty or fire will be
calculated on the basis of the condition of such property immediately before the casualty,
irrespective of the extent of insurance coverage.
(B) Exceptional Circumstances - The Department, however, reserves the right to require
another method of valuation to be used if determined to be in the best interest of the
Department. In unusual circumstances, the Grantee may request that the Department approve
another reasonable method of determining fair market value be used, including but not limited to
accelerated depreciation, comparable sales, or estimated market values. In determining
whether to approve an alternate method, the Department may consider any action taken,
omission made, or unfortunate occurrence suffered by the Grantee with respect to the
preservation or conservation of the value of the particular item of property that, for any reason,
has been withdrawn from service.
c. Misused or Damaged Property - If damage to any of the Project Facilities results from abuse or
misuse that has taken place with the Grantee's knowledge and consent, the Grantee agrees that the
Department may require the Grantee to restore those Project Facilities to their original condition or refund
the fair market value of the State interest in such damaged Project Facilities.
d. Obligations After Project Close -Out - The Grantee agrees that project close -out will not alter its
property management obligations set forth in this Agreement.
ITEM 10 - ETHICS
a. Code of Conduct
(1) Personal Conflict of Interest - The Grantee shall maintain a written code or standard of conduct
which shall govern the performance of its employees, officers, board members or agents engaged in
the award and administration of contracts supported by federal or state funds. Such code shall provide
State Capital Grant 8
that no employee, officer, board member, or agent of the Grantee may participate in the selection,
award, or administration of a contract supported by federal or state funds if a conflict of interest, real or
apparent, would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when any of the parties set forth below has a
financial or other interest in the firm selected for award:
(A) The employee, officer, board member, or agent;
(B) Any member of his or her immediate family;
(C) His or her partner; or
(D) An organization that employs, or is about to employ, any of the above.
The conflict of interest requirement for former employees, officers, board members and agents shall
apply for one year.
The code shall also provide that the Grantee's employees, officers, board members or agents shall
neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors or anything of monetary value from contractors, potential
contractors, or parties to sub - agreements. The Department may waive the prohibition contained in this
subsection, provided that any such present employee, officer, board member, or agent shall not
participate in any action by the Grantee or the locality relating to such contract, subcontract, or
arrangement.
(2) Organizational Conflict of Interest - Grantee will also prevent any real and apparent organizational
conflict of interest. An organizational conflict of interest exists when the nature of the work to be
performed under a proposed third party contract or subcontract may, without some restriction on future
activities, result in an unfair competitive advantage to the third party contractor or grantee or impair the
objectivity in performing the contract work.
b. Bribery - Nongovernmental grantees certify that it has not been convicted of bribery or attempting to
bribe an officer or employee of the State of Illinois, nor has the Grantee made an admission of guilt of such
conduct which is a matter of record, nor has an official, agent or employee of the Grantee committed
bribery or attempted bribery on behalf of the firm and pursuant to the direction or authorization of a
responsible official of Grantee. The Grantee further certifies that it has not been barred from contracting
with a unit of the State or local government as a result of a violation of Section 33E -3 or 33E -4 of the Illinois
Criminal Code .
ITEM 11 - ACCOUNTING RECORDS
a. Project Accounts - The Grantee shall establish and maintain, as a separate set of accounts or as an
integral part of its current accounting scheme, accounts for the Project in conformity with requirements
established by the Department.
b. Funds Received or Made Available for the Project - Grantee shall appropriately record in the Project
Account, and deposit in a federally insured bank or trust company, all Grant payments received by it from
the Department pursuant to this Agreement and all other funds provided for, accruing to, or otherwise
received on account of the Project, which Department payments and other funds are herein collectively
referred to as "Project Funds."
The Grantee shall require the depositories of Project Funds to secure continuously and fully all Project
Funds in excess of the amounts insured under federal plans, or under state plans which have been
approved for the deposit of the Project Funds by the Department, by the deposit or setting aside of
collateral of the types and in the manner as described by state law for the security of public funds.
State Capital Grant 9
The Grantee agrees to report to the Department quarterly by the fifteenth day of the month following the
reported quarter, and at such other times as the Department may prescribe in writing, the amounts
recorded, as required above, in the Project Account.
All Project Funds held by the Grantee over one (1) month shall draw interest and the amount of such
interest earned shall be reported to the Department in the quarterly Project Account report. Such interest
shall be applied to the Net Project Cost as directed by the Department.
c. Eligible Costs - Expenditures made by the Grantee shall be reimbursable as eligible costs to the
extent they meet all of the requirements set forth below. They must:
(1) be made in conformance with the Grantee's final approved application and the Approved Project
Budget and all other provisions of this Agreement;
(2) be necessary in order to accomplish the Project;
(3) be reasonable in amount for the goods or services purchased;
(4) be actual net costs to the Grantee (i.e., the price paid minus any refunds, rebates, or other items
of value received by the Grantee that have the effect of reducing the cost actually incurred);
(5) be incurred (and be for work performed) after the date of this Agreement, unless specific written
authorization from the Department to the contrary is received;
(6) be in conformance with the standards for allowability of costs established by the Department;
(7) be satisfactorily documented;
(8) be treated uniformly and consistently under accounting principles and procedures approved or
prescribed by the Department for the Grantee; and those approved or prescribed by the Grantee for
its contractors; and
(9) be eligible support and supervisory costs, but only for eligible Grantees. Such support and
supervisory costs mean those supervisory costs allocated to the capital project based on an approved
cost allocation plan and support services costs. Provided however, that the Department will not
consider for approval a cost allocation plan that has not been approved by either the Federal Transit
Administration or the Grantee's cognizant federal agency; and, provided further, that the support costs
shall not exceed two (2) percent of the amount of any grant for the purchase of rolling stock and six
(6) percent of the amount of any grant for all other types of capital projects.
(10) not be expenditures incurred by the Grantee which exceed the amount budgeted for a specific
project line item (i.e. project element, job order or item) unless, at the time of completion of the project
line item, those expenditures meet all of the requirements below:
(A) Justification satisfactory to the Department is provided to explain the reason for the over
expenditure and why that over expenditure was not anticipated prior to exceeding the budget for
the project line item;
(B) The budget for the project line item covers the full scope of the project line item, i.e., the
budget of the project line item is intended to be adequate for the completion of the project line
item (including, but not limited to, all engineering, material procurement, or construction);
State Capital Grant .10
(C) The amount by which the expenditures exceed the budget for the project line item is less
than $10,000 or five percent of the approved budget of the project line item, whichever is less;
(D) There are sufficient unspent funds in Contingencies which may be reallocated to the budget
of the project line item;
(E) The funds remaining in Contingencies after reallocation of the funds to the budget of the
project line item are sufficient, as determined by the Department, to provide for the uncompleted
portions of all project line items described in the Agreement; and
(F) The increased expenditure will not cause the allowable State Grant for the Project to be
exceeded..
However, in the event that it may be impractical to determine exact costs of indirect or service functions,
eligible costs will include such allowances for these costs as may be approved by the Department.
d. Documentation of Project Costs - All costs charged to the Project, including any approved services
contributed by the Grantee or others, shall be supported by properly executed payrolls, time records,
invoices, contracts, or vouchers evidencing in detail the nature and propriety of the charges, in form and
content satisfactory to the Department.
e. Checks, Orders, and Vouchers - Any check or order drawn by the Grantee with respect to any item
which is or will be chargeable against the Project Account will be drawn only in accordance with a properly
signed voucher then on file in the office of the Grantee stating in proper detail the purpose of which such
check or order is drawn. All checks, payrolls, invoices, contracts, vouchers, orders, or other accounting
documents pertaining in whole or in part to the Project shall be clearly identified, readily accessible, and,
