Section 473.9 - Offer and acceptance of an aviation development grant

(a) The Department will send a written conditional offer to a sponsor whose application has been approved. The Department's conditional offer may provide funding, in accordance with the limitations of § 473.4(b) (relating to limits of funding), for an entire eligible project as proposed, or for only a portion of an eligible project.

(b) Upon receipt of a conditional offer from the Department, a sponsor shall, within the time set forth in the conditional offer execute and submit the grant agreement.

(c) Unless otherwise restricted by statute, the Department has absolute discretion in the selection of projects and in the determination of funding levels, priorities, critical project selection criteria, project phasing, project design and specifications and performance criteria.

(d) In the consideration of the documentation provided, the Department may determine that a proposed project should be amended to accommodate available funding, applicable airport design criteria, anticipated use or to better accommodate potential user needs. The Department may offer an aviation development grant for a project whose specifications, terms, or scope have been modified by the Department.

(e) In the event that the Department confers with a sponsor to amend a proposed project, the sponsor understands that consultation and amendment does not insure that an offer will be made.
