interest delineated in Section 2.02, insure the Facility, if such exists, in an amount equal to the

and fire and extended coverage insurance with a deductible in an amount acceptable to the State
Entity under which the State Entity and the Public Entity are named as loss payees. If damages
Generic GO Bond Proceeds 24 Ver—6/30/14
Grant Agreement for Program End Grants
which are covered by such required insurance occur, then the Public Entity shall, at its sole
option and discretion, either: (y) use or cause the insurance proceeds to be used to fully or
partially repair such damage and to provide or cause to be provided whatever additional funds
that may be needed to fully or partially repair such damage, or (z) sell its ownership interest in
the damaged Facility and portion of the Real Property associated therewith in accordance with
the provisions contained in Section 4.01.
If the Public Entity elects to only partially repair such damage, then the portion of the
insurance proceeds not used for such repair shall be applied in accordance with the provisions
contained in Section 4.02 as if the Public Entity's ownership interest in the Real Property and
Facility had been sold, and such amounts shall be credited against the amounts due and owing
under Section 4.02 upon the ultimate sale of the Public Entity's ownership interest in the Real
Property and Facility. If the Public Entity elects to sell its ownership interest in the damaged
Facility and portion of the Real Property associated therewith, then such sale must occur within a
reasonable time period from the date the damage occurred and the cumulative sum of the
insurance proceeds plus the proceeds of such sale must be applied in accordance with the
provisions contained in Section 4.02, with the insurance proceeds being so applied within a
reasonable time period from the date they are received by the Public Entity.
The State Entity agrees to and will assign or pay over to the Public Entity all insurance
proceeds it receives so that the Public Entity can comply with the requirements that this Section
imposes thereon as to the use of such insurance proceeds.

insurance required under this Section; provided that the Public Entity continues to be responsible
for the providing of such insurance in the event that the Counterparty fails to provide or maintain
such insurance.
At the written request of either the State Entity or the Commissioner of MMB, the Public
Entity shall promptly furnish to the requesting entity all written notices and all paid premium
receipts received by the Public Entity regarding the required insurance, or certificates of
insurance evidencing the existence of such required insurance.
If the Public Entity fails to provide and maintain the insurance required under this Section,
then the State Entity may, at its sole option and discretion, obtain and maintain insurance of an
equivalent nature, and any funds expended by the State Entity to obtain or maintain such
insurance shall be due and payable on demand by the State Entity and bear interest from the date
of advancement by the State Entity at a rate equal to the lesser of the maximum interest rate
allowed by law or 18% per annum based upon a 365-day year. Provided, however, nothing
contained herein, including but not limited to this Section, shall require the State Entity to obtain
or maintain such insurance, and the State Entity's decision to not obtain or maintain such
insurance shall not lessen the Public Entity's duty to obtain and maintain such insurance.

JOBS REPORTING
(a) Pursuant to Minn. Stat. Sec. 16A.633, subd. 4, State Entity is required to report the
number of jobs created or retained by the Project. To enable State Entity to comply with Minn.
Stat. Sec. 16A.633, subd. 4, the Public Entity is required to report the number of jobs created or
retained by the Project to State Entity as set forth below.
(b) The Public Entity shall require all of its contractors to report the information below to
the Public Entity. The Public Entity shall then report to State Entity. Information can be recorded
by State Entity in an Excel document that can be downloaded into the report by Minnesota
Management and Budget. Each report must contain the following:
(1) The name of the Project.
(2) The State Entity's contract number, if applicable.
(3) Reporting period. The appropriate biennium is to be selected.
(4) The Agency Number. This will complete the next column with Agency
Name.
(5) Legal Citation for the Authorization.
(6) Department ID responsible for the Project.
(7) The Appropriation for the Project.
(8) The Appropriation Amount.
(9) Project Start Date.
(10) Project Completion Date.
(11) The County where the Project is located or, if it is located in more than
one county, where it is primarily located.
(12) Funding Source for Project. The selection will be Trunk Highway Bonds,
General Obligation Bonds or General Fund.
(13) Job Type. Jobs should be classified as either (i) engineering/professional,
(ii) construction, or (iii) other. Manager and supervisor jobs shall be
classified as category (i), (ii) or (iii) based on the nature of the work those
individuals spent the majority of their time overseeing.
(14) Hourly Wages. Jobs should be classified according to the hourly pay
ranges below. Overhead or indirect costs or the value of pensions or other
benefits should not be included in wages.
(i) less than $10.00,
(ii) $10.01 to $15.00,

(15) Jobs.
a. Jobs should be classified as either (i)jobs created or (ii)jobs retained; they
will not be counted as both. A "job created" is a new position created and
filled, or an existing unfilled position that is filled, because of the Project.
A "job retained" means a job at a specific wage level that existed prior to
beginning the Project that would have been lost but for the Project. Only
jobs in Minnesota should be counted.
b. Jobs should be expressed in "full-time equivalents" (FTE). In calculating
an FTE, the number of hours worked during the Reporting Period should
be divided by 2,080 (the number of hours representing a full work
schedule in a Reporting Period). Jobs should be reported regardless of
when the Project or an individual's employment began or ended. Jobs are
to be calculated based on hours worked in the current Reporting Period
only, so that reporting is not cumulative.
c. Jobs should not be separated into full-time,part-time, temporary, seasonal,
etc. Instead, all hours should be totaled and converted into FTEs as
indicated above.
(c) Each contractor will report its workforce and the workforce of its subcontractors
active during the Reporting Period. This includes employees actively engaged in the Project who
work on the jobsite, in the Project office, in the home office or telecommute from home or other
alternative office location. This includes, but is not limited to, any engineering personnel,
inspectors, sampling and testing technicians, and lab technicians performing work directly in
support of the Project. This does not include material suppliers such as steel, culverts, guardrail
and tool suppliers. Only hours that relate to time spent on the Project should be reported.
(d) The Public Entity must incorporate these reporting requirements into its contracts
with its contractors (in part so that contractors can add the requirements to their contracts with
subcontractors and impose deadlines on reporting by subcontractors).
(e) To distinguish the jobs reported by contractors that were funded by the Grant, the
Public Entity must multiply the job numbers reported by each contractor in each category above
by the percentage of total Project costs funded by the Grant (e.g., if the Grant was 40% of total
Project costs, the Public Entity should multiply the jobs numbers given in each category by 40%
to arrive at the number of jobs funded by the Grant) and it is those numbers that should be
reported to State Entity.
