Ifthe Local Agency expends $750,000 or more in Federal funds, and the Federal funds are from multiple
sources (FTA, HUD, NPS, etc.) then the Single Audit Act applies, which is an audit on the entire

allowable direct or indirect cost.

LOCAL AGENCY CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION CHECKLIST
The following checklist has been developed to ensure that all required aspects of a
project approved for Federal funding have been addressed and a responsible party
assigned for each task.
After a project has been approved for Federal funding in the Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program, the Colorado Oepartme~t of Transportation (COOT) Project
Manager, Local Agency Project Manager, and COOT Resident Engineer prepare the
checklist. It becomes a part of the contractual agreement between the Local Agency
and COOT. The COOT Agreements Unit will not process a Local Agency agreement
without this completed checklist. It will be reviewed at the Final Office Review meeting
to ensure that all parties remain in agreement as to who is responsible for performing
individual tasks.

Exhibit O -Page I of I
EXHIBIT H, LOCAL AGENCY PROCEDURES FOR CONSULT ANT
SERVICES
Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 172 applies to a federally funded local agency project
agreement administered by CDOT that involves professional consultant services. 23 CFR 172.1 states
"The policies and procedures involve federally funded contracts for engineering and design related
services for projects subject to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 112(a) and are issued to ensure that a
qualified consultant is obtained through an equitable selection process, that prescribed work is properly
accomplished in a timely manner, and at fair and reasonable cost" and according to 23 CFR 172.5
"Price shall not be used as a factor in the analysis and selection phase." Therefore, local agencies must
comply with these CFR requirements when obtaining professional consultant services under a federally
funded consultant contract administered by COOT.
COOT has formulated its procedures in Procedural Directive (P.O.) 400.1 and the related operations
guidebook titled "Obtaining Professional Consultant Services". This directive and guidebook incorporate
requirements from both Federal and State regulations, i.e., 23 CFR 172 and CRS §24-30-1401 et seq.
Copies of the directive and the guidebook may be obtained upon request from CDOT's Agreements
and Consultant Management Unit. [Local agencies should have their own written procedures on file for
each method of procurement that addresses the items in 23 CFR 172].
Because the procedures and laws described in the Procedural Directive and the guidebook are quite
lengthy, the subsequent steps serve as a short-hand guide to CDOT procedures that a local agency
must follow in obtaining professional consultant services. This guidance follows the format of 23 CFR
172. The steps are:
1. The contracting local agency shall document the need for obtaining professional services.
2. Prior to solicitation for consultant services, the contracting local agency shall develop a detailed
scope of work and a list of evaluation factors and their relative importance. The evaluation factors
are those identified In C.R.S. 24-30-1403. Also, a detailed cost estimate should be prepared for
use during negotiations.
3. The contracting agency must advertise for contracts in conformity with the requirements of C.R.S.
24-30-1405. The public notice period, when such notice is required, is a minimum of 15 days prior
to the selection of the three most qualified firms and the advertising should be done in one or
more daily newspapers of general circulation.
4. The request for consultant services should include the scope of work, the evaluation factors and
their relative importance, the method of payment, and the goal of 10% for Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise (DBE) participation as a minimum for the project.
5. The analysis and selection of the consultants shall be done in accordance with CRS §24-30-1403.
This section of the regulation identifies the criteria to be used in the evaluation of CDOT pre-
qualified prime consultants and their team. It also shows which criteria are used to short-list and
to make a final selection.
The short-list is based on the following evaluation factors:
a. Qualifications,
b. Approach to the Work,
c. Ability to furnish professional services.
Exhibit H -Page I of2
d. Anticipated design concepts, and
e. Alternative methods of approach for furnishing the professional services.
Evaluation factors for final selection are the consultant's:
a. Abilities of their personnel,
b. Past performance,
c. Willingness to meet the time and budget requirement,
d. Location,
e. Current and projected work load,
f. Volume of previously awarded contracts, and
g. Involvement of minority consultants.
6. Once a consultant is selected, the local agency enters into negotiations with the consultant to
obtain a fair and reasonable price for the anticipated work. Pre~negotiation audits are prepared
for contracts expected to be greater than $50,000 . Federal reimbursements for costs are limited
to those costs allowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR 31. Fixed fees (profit) are determined
with consideration given to size, complexity, duration, and degree of risk involved in the work.
Profit is in the range of six to 15 percent of the total direct and indirect costs.
7. A qualified local agency employee shall be responsible and in charge of the Work to ensure that
the work being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent with the terms, conditions, and
specifications of the contract. At the end of Work, the local agency prepares a performance
evaluation (a COOT form is available) on the consultant.
CRS §§24-30-1401 THROUGH 24-30-1408, 23 CFR PART 172, AND P.O. 400.1, PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL DETAILS FOR COMPLYING WITH THE PRECEEDING EIGHT (8) STEPS.
