Review and consequences of delay.
Delayed projects will be reviewed as follows:
(1) Stage 1 - Delayed project. The TIB staff report the delayed project to the board at a regularly scheduled board meeting. The executive director requests a letter from the local agency explaining why the project continues to be delayed and a commitment date which is acceptable to the executive director or board.
(2) Stage 2 - Contingency project. If the agency misses the agreed upon date(s) or deadlines set in the Stage 1 review, the project will be designated a contingency project. The board must restore a contingency project to active status before the executive director authorizes the next project phase.
A project remaining on the contingency list for twelve months will have the grant funds terminated. The agency may reapply for funding in a later grant application cycle.
The executive director has discretion when moving projects from one stage of delay to the next and may consider pending bid dates or other indications of impending progress.
