Disbursements

Payment of sub award monies is to be made once evidence of retrofit completion or new vehicle invoice and documentation of
proper destruction of replaced vehicle is submitted to MCAQD. Use of subaward monies is subject to compliance with these
conditions of the subaward and satisfactory project performance. MCAQD reserves the right to terminate any project that, in
MCAQD’s sole discretion, is not satisfactorily pursuing and fulfilling stated project goals and objectives. MCAQD shall reimburse
YUHSD for cancellable obligations properly incurred prior to termination notice.

Destruction Requirements

The vehicle/equipment being replaced will be scrapped or rendered permanently disabled within 90 days of the replacement, or
remanufactured to a certified cleaner current emission standard. Permanently disabling the chassis and disabling or remanufacturing
the engine while retaining possession of the vehicle/equipment is an acceptable scrapping method. Disabling the chassis may be
completed by cutting through the frame/frame rails on each side at a point located between the front and rear axles. Other acceptable
scrappage methods may be considered and will require written approval from MCAQD Grant Programs Administrator.
Vehicle/Equipment components that are not part of the engine or chassis may be salvaged from the unit being replaced. If scrapped
or remanufactured vehicles/equipment or salvaged vehicle/equipment chassis or components are to be sold, this program income
will need to be addressed in the submitted budget.
