State in writing when any such reallocation is made, and shall identify both the item(s) being
increased and those being decreased. Any cumulative increase or decrease of more than
ten percent (10%) from the original budget in the amount of a category must be approved in
writing by the State. In any event, the total amount of the Grant Funds may not be

D. Project Administration
1. Grantee shall promptly submit written Project reports and/or photographs upon request by

3. Grantee agrees to use any Grant Funds advanced by the State under the terms of this
Agreement solely for the Project herein described.
4. If Grant Funds are advanced, the Grantee shall place these Funds in a separate interest
bearing account, setting up and identifying such account prior to the advance. Interest

6. Grantee shall submit all documentation for Project completion, including a notice of
completion as applicable and final reimbursement within ninety (90) days of Project
completion, but in no event any later than May 1, 2009.
7. Final payment is contingent upon State verification that Project is consistent with Project
Scope as described in Exhibit A, together with any State approved amendments.
8. This Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement in writing between Grantee and
State. Any request by the Grantee for amendments must be in writing stating the
amendment request and reason for the request. The Grantee shall make requests in a

9. Grantee must report to the State all sources of other funds for the Project.
Page 5
Agreement No. R81603-0
E. Project Termination
1. Prior to the completion of Project construction, either party may terminate this Agreement
by providing the other party with thirty (30) days' written notice of such termination.
2. If the State terminates without cause the Agreement prior to the end of the Project
Performance Period, the Grantee shall take all reasonable measures to prevent further
costs to the State under this Agreement. The State shall be responsible for any
reasonable and non-cancelable obligations incurred by the Grantee in the performance of
the Agreement prior to the date of the notice to terminate, but only up to the undisbursed
balance of funding authorized in this Agreement.
3. If the Grantee fails to complete the Project in accordance with this Agreement, or fails to
fulfill any other obligations of this Agreement prior to the termination date, the Grantee shall
be liable for immediate repayment to the State of all amounts disbursed by the State under
this Agreement, plus accrued interest and any further costs related to the Project. The State
may, at its sole discretion, consider extenuating circumstances and not require repayment
for work partially completed provided that the State determines it is in the State's best
interest to do so. This paragraph shall not be deemed to limit any other remedies available
to the State for breach of this Agreement.
4. Failure by the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other
Agreement under the Act may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the State
hereunder.
5. Failure of the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall not be cause for
suspending all obligations of the State hereunder if, in the judgment of the State, such
failure was due to no fault of the Grantee. At the discretion of the State, any amount
required to settle at minimum cost any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be
eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement.
6. Because the benefit to be derived by the State, from the full compliance by the Grantee
with the terms of this Agreement, is the acquisition of land for river parkways or the
restoration, protection and development of river parkways for the people of the State of
California, and because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable
extent the amount of money furnished by the State by way of Grant Funds under the
provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees that payment by the Grantee to the State
of an amount equal to the amount of the Grant Funds disbursed under this Agreement by
the State would be inadequate compensation to the State for any breach by the Grantee of
this Agreement. The Grantee further agrees therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the
event of a breach by the Grantee of this Agreement shall be the specific performance of this
Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the State.
F. Hold Harmless
1. Grantee shall waive all claims and recourses against the State, including the right to
contribution for loss or damage to persons or property arising from, growing out of or in any
way connected with or incident to this Agreement, except claims arising from the gross
negligence of State, its officers, agents and employees.
2. Grantee shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend State, its officers, agents and employees
in perpetuity against any and all claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses or liability
costs arising out of the Project, including Development, construction, operation or
maintenance of the property described in the Project description which claims, demands or
causes of action arise under Government Code Section 895.2 or otherwise, including but not
limited to items to which the Grantee has certified, except for liability arising out of the gross
Page 6
Agreement No. R81603-0
negligence of State, its officers, agents or employees. Grantee acknowledges that it is
solely responsible for compliance with items to which it has certified.
3. Grantee and State agree that in the event of judgment entered against the State and
Grantee because of the gross negligence of the State and Grantee, their officers, agents or
employees, an apportionment of liability to pay such judgment shall be made by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Neither party shall request a jury apportionment.
G. Financial Records
1. Grantee shall maintain satisfactory financial accounts, documents and records for the
Project and to make them available to the State for auditing at reasonable times. Grantee
shall also retain such financial accounts, documents and records for three (3) years after
final payment and one (1) year following an audit.
2. Grantee agrees that during regular office hours, the State and its duly authorized
representatives shall have the right to inspect and make copies of any books, records or
reports of the Grantee pertaining to this Agreement or matters related thereto. Grantee shall
maintain and make available for inspection by the State accurate records of all of its costs,
disbursements and receipts with respect to its activities under this Agreement.
3. Grantee shall use applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, unless otherwise
agreed to by the State.
H. Use of Facilities
I. The real property (including any portion of it or any interest in it) may not be sold or
transferred without the written approval of the State of California, acting through the
Resources Agency, or its successor, provided that such approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld as long as the purposes for which the Grant was awarded are
maintained.
2. Grantee shall maintain, operate and use the Project in fulfillment of the purpose funded
pursuant to this Grant for a minimum of twenty (20) years, consistent with the Land
Tenure/Site Control requirements included in the Application Guidelines. The Grantee, or
the Grantee's successor in interest in the property, may assign without novation the
responsibility to maintain and operate the property in accordance with this requirement only
with the written approval of the State. Grantee may be excused from its obligations for
operation and maintenance of the Project site only upon the written approval of the State
for good cause. "Good cause" includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters that destroy
the Project improvements and render the Project obsolete or impracticable to rebuild.
3. Grantee shall use the property for the purposes for which the Grant was made and shall
make no other use or sale or other disposition of the property. This Agreement shall not
prevent the transfer of the property from the Grantee to a Public Agency, if the successor
Public Agency assumes the obligations imposed by this Agreement.
4. If the use of the property is changed to a use that is not permitted by the Agreement, or if
the property is sold or otherwise disposed of, at the State's sole discretion, an amount
equal to (1) the amount of the Grant (2) the Fair Market Value of the real property, or (3)
the proceeds from the sale or other disposition, whichever is greater, may be reimbursed
to the State. If the property sold or otherwise disposed of is less than the entire interest
in the property funded in the Grant, an amount equal to either the proceeds from the sale
or other disposition of the interest or the Fair Market Value of the interest sold or
otherwise disposed of, whichever is greater, shall be reimbursed to the State.
Page 7
Agreement No. R81603-0
5. The Grantee shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the real property for
mitigation without the written permission of the State.
6. The Grantee shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the real property as security
for any debt.
J. Nondiscrimination
1. The Grantee shall not discriminate against any person on the basis of sex, race, color,
ancestry, religious creed, national origin, physical disability (including HIV and AIDS),
mental disability, medical condition (cancer), age (over 40), marital status, and denial of
family care leave in the use of any property or facility acquired or developed pursuant to
this Agreement.
2. The Grantee shall not discriminate against any person on the basis of residence except to
the extent that reasonable difference in admission or other fees may be maintained on the
basis of residence and pursuant to law.
3. The completed Project and all related facilities shall be open to members of the public
generally, except as noted under the special provisions of this Agreement or under
provisions of the Act.
K. Application Incorporation
The Grant Guidelines and the Application and any subsequent changes or additions to the
Application approved in writing by the State are hereby incorporated by reference into this
Agreement as though set forth in full in this Agreement.
L. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, that invalidity shall not
affect other provisions or applications of this Agreement which can be given effect without the
invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are severable.
M. Waiver
No term or provision hereof will be considered waived by either party, and no breach excused by
either party, unless such waiver or consent is in writing and signed on behalf of the party against
whom the waiver is asserted. No consent by either party to, or waiver of, a breach by either
party, whether expressed or implied, will constitute consent to, waiver of or excuse of any other,
different or subsequent breach by either party.
N. Assignment
Except as expressly provided otherwise, this Agreement is not assignable by the Grantee either
in whole or in part.
O. Disputes
If the Grantee believes that there is a dispute or grievance between Grantee and the State
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Grantee shall first discuss and attempt to
resolve the issue informally with the Agency Grants Administrator. If the issue cannot be
resolved at this level, the Grantee shall follow the following procedures:
1. If the issue cannot be resolved informally with the Agency Grants Administrator, the
Grantee shall submit, in writing, a grievance report together with any evidence to the
Page 8
Agreement No. R81603-0
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Bonds and Grants for the Resources Agency. The
grievance report must state the issues in the dispute, the legal authority, or other basis
for the Grantee's position and the remedy sought. Within ten (10) working days of receipt
of the written grievance report from the Grantee, the Deputy Assistant Secretary shall
make a determination on the issue(s) and shall respond in writing to the Grantee
indicating the decision and reasons therefore. Should the Grantee disagree with the
Deputy Assistant Secretary's decision, the Grantee may appeal to the Assistant
Secretary for Administration and Finance for the Resources Agency.
2. The Grantee must submit a letter of appeal to the Assistant Secretary explaining why the
Deputy Assistant Secretary's decision is unacceptable. The letter must include, as an
attachment, copies of the Grantee's original grievance report, evidence originally
submitted, and response from the Deputy Assistant Secretary. The Grantee's letter of
appeal must be submitted within ten (10) working days of the receipt of the Deputy
Assistant Secretary's written decision. The Assistant Secretary or designee shall, within
twenty (20) working days of receipt of Grantee's letter of appeal, review the issues raised
and shall render a written decision to the Grantee. The decision of the Assistant
Secretary or designee shall be final.
P. Audit Requirements
