# §137.350. Is a Self-Governance Tribe responsible for completing a construction project in accordance with the negotiated construction project agreement?


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:

- (a) Reallocating existing funding;
- (b) Reducing/revising the scope of work that does not require an amendment because it does not result in a significant change;
- (c) Utilizing savings from other projects;
- (d) Requesting additional funds or appropriations;
- (e) Utilizing interest earnings;
- (f) Seeking funds from other sources; and/or
- (g) Redesigning or re-scoping that does result in a significant change by amendment as provided in §§ [137.363](/cfr/42/137.363.md) and [137.364](/cfr/42/137.364.md).
