Budget and Period of Performance

Written approval by MCAQD is required prior to any changes to the sub award budget. Failure to obtain prior written authorization
may result in suspension of the sub award or unallowability of costs.

Sub award monies are to be used only during the period of the agreement effective date through September 30, 2022. Any deviation
from this schedule must have prior approval from MCAQD, A request for extension may be considered but will require prior
approval by MCAQD and the EPA a minimum of sixty days before the scheduled end date of the award.

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

MESD 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
