It is important to note that grant recipients will be required to <br />complete the project and then request reimbursement from NDDOT upon completion. This <br />program is not a "cash-up front" program, it is a reimbursement program for cost incurred. Costs <br />incurred prior to FHWA project approval are not eligible for reimbursement. <br /> <br />Infrastructure costs eligible for reimbursement include construction and construction <br />engineering. Preliminary engineering, the acquisition of right of way. and utilities are not eligible <br />for reimbursement. All infrastructure SRTS projects must be located within approximately two <br />miles of a school with students in grades K-8. <br /> <br />Please ensure that you develop an accurate cost estimate. If your project receives funding. the <br />amount awarded will be based on your cost estimate. <br /> <br />SRTS funding is to supplement, not replace existing funding sources.
