Section 730:10-19-2 - Adoption of a manual for the certification acceptance program
The Department of Transportation shall prepare a manual which provides for procedures to be used to implement a Certification Acceptance program. Certification Acceptance is a voluntary program which enables cities/counties to exert greater control over all aspects of locally sponsored federal-aid transportation projects processed by the Local Government Division of the Department of Transportation. The local agency will have the opportunity to be responsible for the oversight of the design of the project, production of the environmental clearance documents, right-of-way and utility clearances, project advertisement, letting and award, and construction supervision. A project agreement between the local agency and the Department of Transportation will set forth the duties and responsibilities of each party involved. By having greater control of the project phases, the local agency can better schedule projects and utilize limited resources.
