Agency shall be responsible for the entire match amount, unless otherwise agreed to and specified in the intergovernmental agreement. 23. Agency's estimated share and advance deposit. A, Agency shall, prior to commencement of the preliminary engineering and/or right-of-way acquisition phases, deposit with State its estimated share of each phase. Exception may be made in the case of projects where Agency has written approval from the State to use in-kind contributions rather than cash to satisfy all or part of the matching funds requirement. Bo Agency's construction phase deposit shall be 110 percent of Agency's share of the; engineer's estimate and shall be received prior to award of the bid.
