Local Government Grant Program Agreement
1. Compliance with Law: Grantee shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, regulations,
executive orders and ordinances applicable to the Agreement or to implementation of the Project,
including without limitation, OAR chapter 736, Division 6 (the Local Government Grant Program
administrative rules).
2. Compliance with Workers Compensation Laws: All employers, including Grantee, that employ
subject workers who provide services in the State of Oregon shall comply with ORS.656.017 and
provide the required Worker's Compensation coverage, unless such employers are exempt under
ORS 656.126. Employer's liability insurance with coverage limits of not less than $500,000 must be
included.
3. Compliance with Prevailing Wage: Grantee shall comply with the prevailing wage rate
requirements set forth in ORS 279C.800 through 279C.870 and the administrative rules promulgated
thereunder ("Prevailing Wage Rate Law" or "PWR"), or, if applicable, 40 U.S.C. 3141 et seq. ("Davis-
Bacon Act").
4. Amendments: This Agreement may be amended only by a written amendment to the Agreement,
executed by the parties.
5. Expenditure Records: Grantee shall document, maintain and submit records to OPRD for all
Project expenses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and in sufficient detail
to permit OPRD to verify how Grant Funds were expended. These records shall be retained by the
Grantee for at least six years after the Agreement terminates. The Grantee agrees to allow Oregon
Secretary of State auditors and State agency staff access to all records related to this Agreement for
audit and inspection and monitoring of services. Such access will be during normal business hours,
or by appointment. Grantee shall ensure that each of its subgrantees and subcontractors complies
with these requirements.
6. Equipment: Equipment purchased with Local Government Grant Program funds must be used as
described in the Project Agreement and Application throughout the equipment's useful life. The
Grantee will notify the State prior to the disposal of equipment and will coordinate with the State on
the disposal to maximize the equipment's ongoing use for the benefit of the Local Government Grant
Program.
7. Use of Project Property: Grantee warrants that the land within the Project boundary described in
the Application shall be dedicated and used for a period of no less than 25 years from the completion
of the Project. Grantee agrees to not change the use of, sell, or otherwise dispose of the land within
the Project boundary, except upon written approval by OPRD. If the Project is located on land leased
from the federal government, the lease shall run for a period of at least 25 years after the date the
Project is completed. If the Project is located on land leased from a private or public entity, other
than the federal government, the lease shall run for a period of at least 25 years after the date the
Project is completed, unless the lessor under the lease agrees that, in the event the lease is
terminated for any reason, the land shall continue to be dedicated and used as described in the
Project Application for a period of at least 25 years after the date the Project is completed.
Land acquired using Local Government Grant funds shall be dedicated, by an instrument recorded in
the county records, for recreational use in perpetuity, unless OPRD or a successor agency consents
to removal of the dedication.
Page 1 of 4
8. Conversion of Property: Grantee further warrants that if the Grantee converts lands within the
Project boundary to a use other than as described in the grant application or disposes of such land
by sale or any other means ("Converted Land"), the Grantee must provide replacement land
acceptable to OPRD within 24 months of the date of the conversion or disposal or, if the conversion
or disposal is not discovered by OPRD until a later date, within 24 months after the discovery of the
conversion or disposal.
If replacement land cannot be obtained within the 24 month period, the Grantee will provide payment
of the grant program's prorated share of the current fair market value of the Converted Land to the
State. The prorated share is measured by that percentage of the original grant (plus any
amendments) as compared to the original Project cost(s). The replacement land must be equal to
the current fair market value of the Converted Land, as determined by an appraisal. The recreation
utility of the replacement land must also be equal to that of the Converted Land.
If conversion occurs through processes outside of the Grantee's control such as condemnation or
road replacement or realignment, the Grantee must pay to the State a prorated share of the
consideration paid to the Grantee by the entity that caused the conversion. The State's prorated
share is measured by the percentage of the original grant (plus any amendments) as compared to
the original Project cost(s).
The warranties set forth in Section 6 and this Section 7 of this Agreement are in addition to, and not
in lieu of, any other warranties set forth in this Agreement or implied by law.
9. Contribution: If any third party makes any claim or brings any action, suit or proceeding alleging a
tort as now or hereafter defined in ORS 30.260 ("Third Party Claim") against a party (the "Notified
Party") with respect to which the other party ("Other Party") may have liability, the Notified Party must
promptly notify the Other Party in writing of the Third Party Claim and deliver to the Other Party a
copy of the claim, process, and all legal pleadings with respect to the Third Party Claim. Either party
is entitled to participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim, and to defend a Third Party Claim with
counsel of its own choosing. Receipt by the Other Party of the notice and copies required in this
paragraph and meaningful opportunity for the Other Party to participate in the investigation, defense
and settlement of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing are conditions precedent to
the Other Party's liability with respect to the Third Party Claim.
With respect to a Third Party Claim for which the State is jointly liable with the Grantee (or would be if
joined in the Third Party Claim), the State shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including
attorneys' fees),judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
and paid or payable by the Grantee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the State on the one hand and of the Grantee on the other hand in connection with the events which
resulted in such expenses,judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the State on the one hand and of the Grantee on the
other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in
such expenses,judgments, fines or settlement amounts. The State's contribution amount in any
instance is capped to the same extent it would have been capped under Oregon law if the State had
sole liability in the proceeding.
With respect to a Third Party Claim for which the Grantee is jointly liable with the State (or would be if
joined in the Third Party Claim), the Grantee shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including
attorneys' fees),judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
and paid or payable by the State in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Grantee on the one hand and of the State on the other hand in connection with the events which
resulted in such expenses,judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Grantee on the one hand and of the State on the
other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties' relative intent,
Page 2 of 4
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in
such expenses,judgments, fines or settlement amounts. The Grantee's contribution amount in any
instance is capped to the same extent it would have been capped under Oregon law if it had sole
liability in the proceeding.
Grantee shall take all reasonable steps to cause its contractor(s) that are not units of local
government as defined in ORS 190.003, if any, to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless the
State of Oregon and its officers, employees and agents ("Indemnitee") from and against any and all
claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from a tort
(as now or hereafter defined in ORS 30.260) caused, or alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by
the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Grantee's contractor or any of the officers, agents,
employees or subcontractors of the contractor ("Claims"). It is the specific intention of the parties that
the Indemnitee shall, in all instances, except for Claims arising solely from the negligent or willful acts
or omissions of the Indemnitee, be indemnified by the contractor from and against any and all
Claims.
10. Inspection of Equipment and Project Property: Grantee shall permit authorized representatives
of the State, the Oregon Secretary of State, or their designees to perform site reviews of the Project,
and to inspect all Equipment, real property, facilities, and other property purchased by Grantee as
part of the Project.
11. Public Access: The Grantee shall allow open and unencumbered public access to the completed
Project to all persons without regard to race, color, religious or political beliefs, sex, national origin or
place of primary residence.
12. Condition for Disbursement: Disbursement of grant funds by OPRD is contingent upon OPRD
having received sufficient funding, appropriations, limitations, allotments, or other expenditure

13. No Third Party Beneficiaries. OPRD and Grantee are the only parties to this Agreement and are
the only parties entitled to enforce its terms. Nothing in this Agreement gives, is intended to give, or
shall be construed to give or provide any benefit or right, whether directly or indirectly, to a third
person unless such a third person is individually identified by name herein and expressly described
as intended beneficiary of the terms of this Agreement.
14. Repayment: In the event that the Grantee spends Grant Funds in any way prohibited by state or
federal law, or for any purpose other than the completion of the Project, the Grantee shall reimburse
the State for all such unlawfully or improperly expended funds. Such payment shall be made within
15 days of demand by the State.
15. Termination: This Agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of both parties, or by either
party upon a 30-day notice in writing, delivered by certified mail or in person to the other party's
contact identified in the Agreement. On termination of this Agreement, all accounts and payments will
be processed according to the financial arrangements set forth herein for Project costs incurred prior
to date of termination. Full credit shall be allowed for reimbursable expenses and the non-cancelable
obligations properly incurred up to the effective date of the termination.
16. Governing Law: The laws of the State of Oregon (without giving effect to its conflicts of law
principles) govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation,
its validity, interpretation, construction, performance, and enforcement. Any party bringing a legal
action or proceeding against any other party arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall bring
the legal action or proceeding in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Marion County. Each
party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, waives any objection to venue, and
waives any claim that such forum is an inconvenient forum. In no event shall this section be
Page 3 of 4
construed as a waiver by the State of Oregon of any form of defense or immunity, whether sovereign
immunity, governmental immunity, immunity based on the eleventh amendment to the Constitution of
the United States or otherwise, from any claim or from the jurisdiction of any court.
17. Entire Agreement: This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties. No
waiver, consent, modification or change of terms of this Agreement shall bind either party unless in
writing and signed by both parties. Such waiver, consent, modification or change, if made, shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. There are no
understandings, Agreements, or representations, oral or written, not specified herein regarding this
Agreement. The Grantee, by signature of its authorized representative on the Agreement,
acknowledges that the Grantee has read this Agreement, understands it, and agrees to be bound by
its terms and conditions.

the parties hereto or notices to be given hereunder shall be given in writing by personal delivery,
facsimile, email, or mailing the same, postage prepaid, to Grantee contact or State contact at the

on all parties, notwithstanding that all parties are not signatories to the same counterpart.
20. Severability: If any term or provision of this agreement is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal or in conflict with any law, the validity of the remaining terms and provisions
shall not be affected, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced as
if this Agreement did not contain the particular term or provision held to be invalid.

RE: SHPO Case No. 24-0199
OPRD Ashland East Main Street Park Regional Pump Track
park improvements
2228/2290 East Main Street, Ashland, Jackson County
Dear Mark Cowan:
Thank you for submitting information for the pro]ect referenced above. According to our records there are no
identified archaeological objects or sites (Oregon Revised Statute [ORS] 358.905), and no Native American
calm,burial, human remains, sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony(ORS 97.740-760) in or
adjacent to the project area. Based on the information provided, Oregon SHPO does not have any concerns
with the project proceeding as planned.
Under ORS 358.920 and ORS 97.745, archaeological sites, objects and human remains are protected on both
state public and private lands in Oregon. Please know that if any archaeological artifacts are found during
construction all activity in the area should cease and our office should be contacted. We also advise having an
Inadvertent Discovery Plan (IDP) in place during construction. A template is available on our website
). The IDP explains what to do in the
event of a discovery and provides examples of archaeological materials.Using this form can reduce confusion,
risk, and liability.
If the project has a federal nexus (lands, funding,permitting, or oversight) coordinate with the lead federal
agency to ensure compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
If you have not already done so,be sure to consult with all appropriate Native American tribes regarding the
proposed project. Additional consultation regarding this case must be sent through Go Digital. In order to
help us track the prQj ect accurately,reference the SHPO case number above in all correspondence.
Please contact our office if you have any questions, comments or need additional assistance.
Sincerely,

PARKS Request for Reimbursement Guide
All Progress Reports and Reimbursement Requests must be submitted using OPRD's online grant application
and management system. An account with OPRDgrants.org is required for access.
For detailed instruction on how to submit Progress Reports and Reimbursement Requests, see the Grant
Reporting and Reimbursement Instructions at:

> Grant Programs
> Local Government
> Management & Reporting Requirements
> Grant Reporting and Reimbursement Instructions
All files for projects benefiting from Oregon Parks and Recreation Department administered grant funds must
be able to pass a State audit. When preparing to submit a Request for Reimbursement, plan on submitting
the following documentation:
O Progress Report—Once you submit a Progress Report, you will be able to access the Reimbursement
Request form.
O Project Bills/ Invoices
O Bill Payment Confirmation— Please submit documentation confirming that all project bills/invoices have
indeed been paid. The best way to document this is with some type of Accounts Paid Report or Check
Ledger Report for the project that lists Payments, Payee, Payment Date and Check Number. (This is
different from an Accounts Payable Report which would only list payments pending.) If an Accounts Paid
Report is not available, please submit copies of canceled payment checks (with account numbers blocked
out).
Once the project is completed . . .
O Project Pictures— Please plan to submit 5-10 digital pictures of the completed project site and specific
project elements,for the project file. Digital pictures can be attached to any Progress Report or Request for
Reimbursement. For Planning Projects, rather than pictures, please submit a digital copy of the final
Planning Document.
O As-Built Map— If the completed project is different from the original Site Plan submitted with the
application, please submit an As-Built Map that shows the actual layout of the completed project.
O Acknowledgement Sign - Is there any type of signage on site acknowledging OPRD grant support for the
project? If not, we will send you one. (An acknowledgement sign is not necessary for Planning projects.)
