Final State Aid Pay RequestChecklist
Projects using state bonds such as Bridge or special legislative programs like Local Road Improvement Program and Flood Bonds
State bond funds are “reimbursement” only funds unlike state aid funds which may be paid out before the project is started. Bond funds can only be paid up to the actual expenditure of participating costs as shown on a partial or final contractor payment voucher.
These projects need all the same documentation shown on previous checklists in addition to:Abstract of Bids on Bridge Bond funded projects sent in early so
Bridge Bond grant amount can be determined by State Aid Finance. Bridge items should be highlighted.
Bond Agreement with County Resolution: The resolution states the exact amount of the bond granted to the project and states that the local agency will return any bonds funds not used on the project and fund any excess costs
Special Bond Funds Pay RequestChecklist
For DCP projects, the state bonds are requested with the Federal DCP pay request. Do not use the SAPR (State Aid Pay Request) form for the construction bond funds. The only bond funds that may be requested, for the DCP projects on the SAPR, are engineering costs if they were approved in the bonding agreement.

Four different situations can occur. These are:
1) Project is completed exactly as estimated2) Project overruns original estimate3) Project Underruns original estimate without a
State Aid overpayment4) Project Underruns original estimate with a State Aid
overpayment
Examples of all these scenarios may be found in our Accounting Manual – Chapter 3 Regular and Municipal Construction Accounts.

State Aid has encumbered too much and will only reimburse the portion of the encumbered amount that covers the actual project costs. Remember that the amount over the estimate will reduce your receivable & increase your allotment.

There are two methods of accounting for these. We are using the one with optional entries because this method is useful to track the balance of the Bond Grant. The State Auditor’s Office may recommend these accounts be adjusted to zero at year end and re-established in the new-year.
