§137.350. Is a Self-Governance Tribe responsible for completing a construction project in accordance with the negotiated construction project agreement?
42 C.F.R. § 137.350
Yes, a Self-Governance Tribe assumes responsibility for completing a construction project, including day-to-day on-site management and administration of the project, in accordance with the negotiated construction project agreement. However, Self-Governance Tribes are not required to perform beyond the amount of funds provided. For example, a Self-Governance Tribe may encounter unforeseen circumstances during the term of a construction project agreement. If this occurs, options available to the Self-Governance Tribe include, but are not limited to:
Reallocating existing funding;
Reducing/revising the scope of work that does not require an amendment because it does not result in a significant change;
Utilizing savings from other projects;
Requesting additional funds or appropriations;
Utilizing interest earnings;
Seeking funds from other sources; and/or
Redesigning or re-scoping that does result in a significant change by amendment as provided in §§ 137.363 and 137.364.
