The funding for any project involving participation by another agency, county, city, etc., must be checked prior to and after letting. Most funding agreements require the entity to pay their share of the costs

45 days prior to the proposed letting date

.

The District personnel who coordinated the agreement with the entity normally receive these payments. Once the total estimated payments are received, the District must prepare and submit a

Notice of Financial Clearance for Bid Opening and Award

form. This form certifies that all the necessary estimated payments from the entity have been received.
