WAC 136-750-060

(1) If a county terminates an uncompleted LRP funded project for which CRAB/county contract has been executed, for other than an unanticipated scope change, and is prepared to repay the LRP for all LRP funds received, the county shall, by means of a letter signed by the chair of the board of county commissioners or the county executive as appropriate, inform the county road administration board of its termination of the project. The letter shall state the reasons for termination and commit to repaying all LRP funds received for the project. Upon acknowledgment of such termination by the county road administration board, the county shall repay the county road administration board for all LRP funds paid to the county on that project within 60 days of such acknowledgment. After receipt of the LRP repayment, the county road administration board will void the CRAB/county contract and allocate the LRP funds to other projects within the project type.

(2) If a county terminates an uncompleted LRP funded project for which a CRAB/county contract has been executed, for other than an unanticipated scope change, and does not want to be required to repay the county road administration board for all LRP funds received, a letter of request signed by the chair of the board of county commissioners or the county executive as appropriate must be sent to the county road administration board. The request must include:

(a) An explanation of the reasons that the project will not proceed to completion;

(b) A statement of the amount of LRP funds which the county does not want to repay;

(c) An explanation of why the county believes full repayment should not be made; and

(d) Agreement to provide supporting documentation for amounts the county does not want to repay.

If the county road administration board grants the request, the county shall repay all LRP funds not exempted from repayment within 60 days of the county road administration board's action, the CRAB/county contract will be amended, and the remaining LRP funds will be allocated to other projects. If the county road administration board denies the request, full repayment shall be made as provided in subsection (1) of this section.
