(c) For local projects, which are demonstrated to relieve traffic congestion on the state highway system the Department shall provide 35% of project costs. For projects in fiscal year 2005/2006 and out, the Department shall provide 50 percent of eligible costs for eligible projects. If a project in fiscal year 2005/2006 has an executed JPA prior to July 1, 2005, the percentage of match requirement as stated in the JPA may be grandfathered under s. 339.2817, F.S. In-kind services or R/W that comprise integral parts of the project and contribute to its ultimate completion may be used as all or part of the local matching funds. A detailed report of the costs incurred as recorded in the cost accounting system must be provided to the District to substantiate the amount of in-kind services costs to be used as the county's share of participation. The county will be subject to a random audit of supporting documentation of costs as contained in the detail report. The RNV will be valued at the purchase cost substantiated to the District from the county. At the discretion of the District Secretary of the District involved, the Department may agree to participate in cost overruns on a project subject to availability of funds. However, the county is ultimately responsible for all cost overruns. A municipality may apply to the county in which the municipality is located for consideration by the county for funding under this section of any project or project phase of a transportation facility which is located on the state highway system or which is demonstrated to relieve congestion on the state highway system.
