formal agreements, in accordance with overall policy direction established by the Sound Transit Board and the City, to clearly delineate ongoing responsibility for maintenance and operation issues that are likely to be experienced by the City as a
direct result of the Project or operation of the resulting light rail system. Such issues and costs include but are not limited to the reconstruction or realignment of any street, sidewalk, bikeway or utility facility or system; the retiming or other
modifications of existing traffic signals; and the installation of new traffic signal, signage, lane markings, street lighting, sidewalk lighting, or pathway lighting within the construction limits of the Project.
4.2. Project Design to Minimize Travel and Access Disruptions
The Project shall be designed to the greatest extent practical to minimize disruptions to City businesses and residents during construction. To achieve that result, Sound Transit and the City shall work cooperatively with representatives of businesses
and neighborhoods affected by the Project. The Project, for the entire light rail route within the City, shall also be designed to ensure that:
4.2.1. The number of streets in contiguous blocks that are closed or permitted to have severely restricted vehicular or pedestrian traffic during the Project's construction phase are minimized, either by construction being undertaken at varying times
of day, in geographic stages, or through other means;
4.2.2. Emergency vehicle, utility maintenance vehicle and fire protection vehicle access to every business and residence adjacent to the Project construction area, and pedestrian access to each such residence at all times and to each such business
during its normal business hours, are preserved;
4.2.3. Vehicular access for types of vehicles other than those identified in Subsection 4.2.2 to every residence adjacent to the Project construction area is preserved except when construction requirements necessitate the complete blockage thereof;
and
4.2.4. Reasonable prior notice is provided to directly affected property owners, business tenants and neighborhood residents of any loss or change of access to or from their respective properties, tenancies and residences, indicating the expected
duration of such loss or change, and alternatives that are available to those affected by such loss or change.

6.1. Monitoring and Reporting of Progress
The City is committed to work efficiently and will closely monitor the time required to complete work products consistent with the scope of work and budget for the Project. The City shall provide clear, accurate and detailed monthly progress reports to
Sound Transit. The City shall work with Sound Transit to further refine its progress reporting, accounting and program management system to ensure useful and descriptive information that complements Sound Transit's Project control system. The City
and Sound Transit shall provide active, ongoing oversight to ensure that Sound Transit funds are expended efficiently, in a manner that adds value to the Project.
6.2. Monitoring and Reporting of Costs
6.2.1. The City's Designated Representative, or other designated City official, shall coordinate requests for reimbursements by all City departments and offices and will provide cost reports to Sound Transit on a quarterly basis. In addition, Sound
Transit may require other financial documents to verify that the expenditures are related to the Project work funded by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, (1) work statements or payroll records, (2) invoices for materials and supplies, (3)
statements from professionals for services rendered, (4) certifications by the City that materials and services are satisfactorily rendered, and (5) itemized listings of the charges supported by copies of original bills, invoices, expense accounts, and
miscellaneous supporting data retained by City.
6.2.2. The City shall provide any plans, specifications, accounting records or other documents needed to satisfy requests from federal funding agencies for information to comply with Sound Transit's funding requirements. The City shall inspect all
work performed under this Agreement and ensure that payments requested for reimbursement are eligible under this Agreement.
6.3. Reconciliation
Both parties agree to monitor and reconcile the actual versus estimated effort on a quarterly basis. Parties will negotiate additional funding or a reduction in services relating to the Project to the extent that such work cannot be performed within the
estimate of compensation and expense reimbursement due for the services delivered and work performed. Sound Transit will rely on information contained in the City's progress reports to identify changes in the work as reported on by the City in order to
have the opportunity to take corrective action or clarify assumed work efforts. Notwithstanding the above, if the permit approval work performed by DCLU (for which payment is to be on an hourly rate in lieu of valuebased construction permit fees)
exceeds the estimated amount, Sound Transit shall pay the additional charges without further negotiations. DCLU shall report on work performed for each valuebased construction permit being reviewed as compared to the estimated amount so that Sound
Transit can see trends in costs estimated vs. actual amounts. This shall be done on a construction contract basis.
6.4. Availability of Records.
All project records in support of all costs incurred and actual expenditures kept by the City shall be maintained in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Washington State Auditor's Office and the applicable Federal funding agencies. The records
shall be open to inspection by Sound Transit and the Federal government during normal business hours, and shall be retained and made available for such inspection for a period of not less than three years from the final payment of any federal aid funds
to the City. Copies of said records shall be furnished to Sound Transit and/or the Federal government upon request. This requirement shall be included in all subcontracts related to the work entered into by the City to fulfill the terms of this Fourth
Supplement.
6.5. Audit.
If an audit is requested by Sound Transit or required by any applicable federal agency requirements, the City agrees to cooperate fully with Sound Transit's auditor, any independent auditor chosen and retained by Sound Transit for auditing expenditures
under this Fourth Supplement or previous Supplements, or with any audit required by the federal funding agency, if applicable. At the time of a federal audit, if required, the City will provide documentation of all costs incurred under this Fourth
Supplement or previous supplements.
6.6. Third Party Contract Administration
