PDFWAC 136-165-030
County road administration board evaluation, consideration and action.
(1) In deciding whether to grant a request for a RATA allocation increase submitted under the provisions of WAC 136-165-020, the county road administration board will consider the following factors:
(a) Whether the county, at the time of preparing its final project prospectus, considered the factors listed in WAC 136-165-020(4);
(b) Whether the county's request for an increased allocation is based on extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances of the type listed in WAC 136-165-020(5);
(c) Whether it is feasible to reduce the scope and/or project limits so the project can be substantially constructed within the initial RATA allocation;
(d) Whether the request is to pay for an expansion of the project; and
(e) Whether the increased allocation will have an adverse effect on other approved or requested RATA funded projects.
(2) The executive director shall approve or deny a county's request for additional funds.
(a) If the request is approved, in whole or in part, the executive director is authorized to execute an amendment to the CRAB/county contract. Upon execution of a contract amendment under this chapter, the executive director will advise board members of the amendment details at the next CRAB board meeting.
(b) If the request is denied, in whole or in part, the county may appeal the executive director's decision at the board's next regularly scheduled board meeting.
