NYSDOT will review the Contract award package and, upon its approval,. the Municipality shall thereupon award the contract and file an executed copy thereof with NYSDOT. EXHIBIT B Municipal Record Keeping Guidelines The Municipality will comply with the following record keeping requirements for State reimbursement of participating Federal-aided or State-aided Project costs (below requirements apply to either funding type unless otherwise noted): 1. Progress Billings. After approval of the Agreement, the Municipality may submit progress billings to NYSDOT for the Federal share, and the applicable State share of approved costs shall be supported as follows: a) Contracts/Consultant Agreements - Separate invoices or billings are required for each contract, each consultant agreement, and for work performed by Municipal employees. Billings for payments made on contracts or consultant agreements will be made on NYSDOT's Form FIN 421, as it may be amended, and supported by a copy of the applicable payment estimate(s) for contracts or consultant agreements. b) Work by Municipal Employees - Billings for Municipal employees will be on NYSDOT's Form FIN 421, supported by an Engineer's Payroll Abstract for the period(s} covered by the billings, copies of payroll time sheets for the applicable billing period and copies of paid invoices or supporting documents for all non- personal service cost items in excess of $250. For Federal-aid projects, only those direct Project costs as defined in applicable Federal regulations and incurred subsequent to the date of Federal Highway Administration authorization can be included in billings. The supporting documents for personal service and non- personal service costs in all cases are to include the following: (1) Pavroll Time Sheets - The signature of the employee and approval of the employee's supervisor is required on each time sheet. These signatures attest to the employee's assignment and hours worked on the Projects indicated, and demonstrate that periods of paid leave are charged to appropriate leave categories or accounts. Employee time for such leave, holidays, vacation or other paid leave cannot be charged directly to Projects on time sheets since such costs must be allocated to Projects by using an approved percentage additive rate applied to direct payroll costs. Time sheets must correspond with applicable payroll records and amount paid for each employee based on a comprehensive payroll/labor cost distribution system. (2) Engineer's Pavroll Abstract - Leave and fringe benefit additives are to be calculated and charged to Projects at percentage rates previously approved by NYSDOT for provisional billing purposes, subjectto final audit. (3) Non-Personal Service Costs - Copies of invoices or documentation showing amounts and notations as may be required to clearly identify the purpose of each item. Copies of employee reimbursement vouchers for travel or similar costs are not required with progress billings but must be retained by the Municipality for subsequent audit. c} NYSDOT will reimburse Municipal personal service, fringe benefits, non-personal service and related costs which are clearly identifiable to a specific project. Local claims for reimbursement of such expenditures utilize the same Form "FIN 421" processing procedure as is routinely used for reporting Consultant Payment Requests. Municipal claims for reimbursing preliminary engineering, construction engineering or other approved work _ whether performed by Municipal employees or by a Consultant - requires only the completion of a single column of Total Costs which pertain solely to eligibility for the Federal Aid component. If a project is eligible for State Aid, the term "State-Aided" should be clearly recorded on the FIN 421 form by the Municipality before it is submitted to the NYSDOT Regional Office for approval and certification. Reimbursement of anv otherwise eligible State-share reauires sDecial Drocessing of the FIN 421 form bv the NYSDOT Regional Office. This process reflects both a separate funding source and any additional eligibility criteria applied to the State share. The Regional Office makes any necessary adjustments required to the "federal aid eligible" costs reported by a Municipality. ComD/eting FIN 421: The amount listed on lines 1-3 of the Work Performed Section of the FIN 421, and the supporting documentation, should be for 100% of the share of participating costs eligible for federal aid. However, since the amount shown on line 3 of the FIN 421 is applicable to calculating the Federal share onlv. a notation after that amount is required to indicate the Total Costs reported times a "Federal Aid Percentage" (e.g., "$_X_%"). For example, "$100,000X80%" (with "80%" being the federal aid percent). On the other hand, lines 7 and 8 for such billings should reflect only the amount of computed Federal Share payments, with Line 8 containing only the amount currently being claimed for reimbursement of the federal share. 2. Proiect Detail Ledgers. For audit purposes, a Project Detail Ledger is required as the official accounting record of the Municipality to record and accumulate all cost transactions applicable to the Project. All costs recorded on the Project Detail Ledger should be for 100% of such costs with reduction for the non-Federal share, and for any applicable State share. Every transaction listed on the Project Detail Ledger will be recorded in the same level of detail as the total from each suooorting source document (no summarization of source documents amounts). All transactions I isted on the detail ledger will identify the source document for the transaction by referenci ngcontractlestimate numbers, social security numbers (for time sheets and employee reimbursements), vendor or payee numbers for vouchers, ete. The applicable accounting system record date will also be included for each transactions, i.e. - pay period dates for time sheets, or voucher approval or date paid for payments to the consultant, employee reimbursements, ete. The ledgers for the Project will include totals for all transactions recorded during: 1) each accounting month, (2) the fiscal year of the Municipality, and (3) for the Project life to date. 3. Source Documents. The Municipality will retain an official copy of consultant estimates, payroll time sheets, employee travel claims and all other original source documents for transactions listed on the Project Detail Ledger. These will be systematically filed in an order that will facilitate retrieval. All expenditure vouchers or other cost documents must also be traceable through the Municipality's disbursement process to copies of warrants or checks issued and to corresponding documentation maintained in the official accounting records of the Municipality's central finance office. 4. Audit/Disallowances. For Federal-aid projects the Municipalityshall cause a Certified Public Accountantto auditthe performance of any consultant contract entered for the Project and retain the results thereof for State or federal audit of this agreement.
