Mediation or Cancellation

If actions are not taken to resolve findings, or if actions taken (including placing a subgrantee on “High Risk” status) are not successful in resolving the problems, then the project must be canceled. However, mediation by TxDOT may be initiated prior to cancellation in a final attempt to resolve differences and come to terms on actions needed. Mediation may be initiated by the subgrantee or a TxDOT official, including the Project Manager, Program Director or administrator, or TRF Director in the division. Results of mediation are considered final for all parties. Work may continue at a reduced level during mediation if approved by TxDOT. If the grant agreement ends during mediation, a new grant is not to begin until the mediation has been successfully completed.
