Common use of Excluded Costs Clause in Contracts

Excluded Costs. 1. In determining the amount of [SGIP or ATGP] Funding SANDAG will provide for the Project, SANDAG will exclude: a. Any Project cost incurred by the Grantee before either the date SANDAG issues a Notice to Proceed to Grantee or the Effective Date of the Agreement or any Amendment thereto; b. Any cost that is not included in the latest Approved Project Budget; c. Any cost for Project property or services received in connection with a subagreement, lease, third-party contract, or other arrangement that is required to be, but has not been, concurred in or approved in writing by SANDAG; and d. Any cost ineligible for SANDAG participation as provided by applicable laws, regulations, or policies. 2. Certain costs at times associated with bicycle and pedestrian projects are not eligible when the benefit provided is not the exclusive use of bicyclists or pedestrians. These instances are listed below. a. Curb and gutter are part of the roadway drainage system. As such, newly installed curb and gutter cannot be considered an improvement exclusively for the benefit of the sidewalk or bike lane and are not an eligible expense. b. Driveway ramps installed across sidewalks are not for the benefit of pedestrians, and in fact, degrade the pedestrian environment. Claimants may not include the cost of driveway ramps in applications for sidewalk projects. However, the distance across the driveway may be included when computing the per-square- foot cost of the sidewalk. c. Where roadway design standards require a roadway shoulder width at least as wide as would be required for a standard bike lane, the cost of the shoulder construction will not be eligible. Appropriate bikeway signage is eligible. d. Under some circumstances, it may be necessary to remove and replace curb and gutter, driveway ramps, drainage facilities and other existing improvements in order to construct a bikeway or sidewalk. In such cases the cost of this work is most likely eligible, but claimants should carefully document why this is so in the claim submittal.
