insurance, construction contingencies,
management contingencies, and other
contingencies. The line items can be
broken-up in enough detail such that
specific areas of cost change can be
sufficiently tracked, and future
improvements made to the overall cost
estimating methodology. A Program
Total line should be included at the
bottom of the spreadsheet. Narratives,
tables, and/or graphs should accompany
the updated cost spreadsheet, basically
detailing the current cost status, reasons
for cost deviations, impacts of cost
overruns, and efforts to mitigate cost
overruns. The following information
should be provided:
• Reasons for each line-item
deviation from the approved budget,
impacts resulting from the deviations,
and initiatives being analyzed or
implemented in order to recover any
cost overruns.
• Transfer of costs to and from
contingency line items, and reasons
supporting the transfers.
• Speculative cost changes that
potentially may develop in the future, a
quantified dollar range for each
potential cost change, and the current
status of the speculative change. Also, a
comparison analysis to the available
contingency amounts should be
included, showing that reasonable and
sufficient amounts of contingency
remain to keep the project within the
latest approved budget.
• Detailed cost breakdown of the
general engineering consultant (GEC)
services (if applicable), including such
line items as contract amounts, task
orders issued (amounts), balance
remaining for tasks, and accrued
(billable) costs.
• Federal obligations and/or
disbursements for the project, compared
to planned obligations and
disbursements.

Performance Measure Reports on the
performance (or projected performance)
of the project using the performance
measures that the grantee and the
Government selected through
negotiations with the following timing
and frequency requirements:
OST estimates that it takes
approximately 5 person-hours to
develop and submit an annual
performance measure report. Grants
awarded in prior years will reach
completion and will begin to submit
these reports. OST expects recipients
and awardees from 2009–2012 have
passed this reporting period, awardees
from 2013–2015 will require 800 hours
(160 projects × 5 hours each) to submit
annual performance measurement
reports while recipients and awardees
from 2016–2018 will require 750 hours
(150 projects × 5 hours each) in the next
three years.
Grantees should use the following
structure when preparing this report:
1. Performance Measure Data
Collection. The Recipient shall collect
the data necessary to report on each
performance measure that is identified
in the grant agreement. Grantees may
select performance measures from the
list available at https://
www.transportation.gov/
administrations/office-policy/tigerperformance-measurement-guidanceappendix, according to the type of
project.
2. Pre-project Performance
Measurement Report. The Recipient
shall submit to DOT, on or before the
Pre-project Report Date that is stated in
the grant agreement, a Pre-project
Performance Measurement Report that
contains:
a. Baseline data for each performance
measure that is identified in the grant
agreement, accurate as of the Pre-project
Measurement Date; and
b. A detailed description of the data
sources, assumptions, variability, and
estimated levels of precision for each
measure.
3. Interim Performance Measurement
Reports. After project completion, the
Recipient shall submit to DOT on or
before each of the periodic reporting
dates specified in the Performance
Measurement Table in the grant
agreement, an Interim Performance
Measurement Report containing data for
each performance measure that is
identified in that table, accurate as of
the final date of the measurement period
specified in that table. If an external
factor significantly affects the value of a
performance measure during a
measurement period, then in the Interim
Performance Measurement Report the
Recipient shall identify that external

factor and discuss its influence on the
performance measure.
4. Project Outcomes Report. The

before the Project Outcomes Report Date
that is stated in the grant agreement, a
Project Outcomes Report that contains:
a. A narrative discussion detailing
project successes and the influence of
external factors on project expectations;
b. All baseline and interim
performance measurement data that the
Recipient reported in the Pre-project
