In the event that the Sewerage System or Project is damaged or destroyed, the Municipality agrees to use
the proceeds from its insurance coverage either to repay the Loan or to repair or replace the Sewerage
System.
Section 4.02. Construction of the Project The Municipality shall construct the Project, or cause it to be
constructed, to Final Completion in accordance with the Application and the Plans and Specifications. The
Municipality shall proceed with the acquisition and construction of the Project in conformity with law and with

such modifications of Plans and Specifications that alter the cost of the Project, use of space, scope or
functional layout as may be previously approved by DNR.
Section 4.03. Performance Bonds The Municipality shall provide, or cause to be provided, performance
bonds assuring the performance of the work to be performed under all construction contracts entered into

the manner set forth in this FAA and in accordance with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances
and regulations applicable thereto. The Municipality shall,with all practical dispatch and in a sound
and economical manner, complete or cause to be completed, the acquisition and construction of the

Section 4.05. Payment of Additional Project Costs
(a) In the event of revised eligibility determinations, cost overruns and amendments exceeding the
Loan amount, the CWFP may allocate additional financial assistance to a Project. The allocation of
additional financial assistance may be in the form of a loan at less than the market interest rate,
which is established pursuant to the Act and Regulations. The allocation of additional financial
assistance shall depend upon availability of funds and present value subsidy, pursuant to the Act and
the Regulations.
(b) In the event that Loan proceeds are not sufficient to pay the costs of the Project in full, the
Municipality shall nonetheless complete the Project and pay that portion of the Project Costs as may
be in excess of available Loan proceeds, and shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor

nor the Trustee makes any warranty, either express or implied, as to the Project or its condition or that it shall
be suitable for the Municipality's purposes or needs, or that the proceeds of the Loan shall be sufficient to pay
the costs of the Project. Review or approval of engineering reports, facilities plans, Plans and Specifications,
or other documents, or the inspection of Project construction by DNR does not relieve the Municipality of its
responsibility to properly plan, design, build and effectively operate and maintain the Project as required by
laws, regulations, permits and good management practices. DNR or its representatives are not responsible
for increased costs resulting from defects in the Plans and Specifications or other Project documents.
Nothing in this section prohibits a Municipality from requiring more assurances, guarantees, or indemnity or
