WHEREAS, the Sponsor has submitted to WSDOT Aviation an Airport Aid Application
(herein called the "Application") dated April 11, 2018, for a grant of state funds for a
project at or associated with Yakima Air Terminal — McAllister Field (herein called the
"Airport") which Application, as approved by WSDOT Aviation, is hereby incorporated
herein and made a part hereof; and
WHEREAS, WSDOT Aviation has approved a project for the Airport (herein called the
"Project") consisting of the following:
➢ $83,378.72 — West General Aviation Apron Rehabilitation;
➢ $16,621.28 — Airport Layout Plan Update w/ Narrative Report, including eligible
items as of May 1, 2018; all as more particularly described in the Application.
NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to and for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of
RCW 47.68.090, Aid to municipalities, Indian tribes, persons, and in consideration of (a)
the Sponsor's adoption and ratification of the representations and assurances contained in
said Application and its acceptance of this Offer as hereinafter provided, and (b) the
benefits to accrue to Washington State and the public from the accomplishment of the
Project and compliance with the assurances and conditions as herein provided, WSDOT
Aviation, for and on behalf of the State of Washington, hereby offers and agrees to pay,
as the state's share of the allowable costs incurred in accomplishing the Project, five (5)
percent of all allowable Project costs up to a maximum amount of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).

This Offer is made on and subject to the following terms and conditions:
1) The maximum obligation of the State of Washington payable under this Offer shall be
One Hundred Thousand and Zero Cents ($100,000.00).
2) The allowable costs of the project shall not include any costs determined by WSDOT
Aviation to be ineligible.
3) Payment of the state's share of the allowable project costs will be made pursuant to
and in accordance with the provisions of such regulations and procedures as the
Secretary shall prescribe.
4) The Sponsor shall carry out and complete the Project without undue delay and in
accordance with the terms hereof, and such regulations and procedures as the
Secretary shall prescribe, and agrees to comply with the assurances which were made
part of the Application.
5) WSDOT Aviation reserves the right to amend or withdraw this Offer at any time prior
to its acceptance by the Sponsor.
6) This offer shall expire and State of Washington shall not be obligated to pay any part
of the costs of the Project unless this Offer has been accepted by the Sponsor on or
before Friday, September 21, 2018, or such subsequent date as may be prescribed in
writing by WSDOT Aviation.
7) The State of Washington shall not be responsible or liable for damage to property or
injury which may arise from, or be incident to, compliance with the grant agreement.
8) WSDOT Aviation reserves the right to terminate the agreement at any time because
of legal matters detrimental to the state or the local government, insufficient funds
held by WSDOT Aviation to complete the Project, or by mutual consent between the
City of Yakima and WSDOT Aviation. WSDOT Aviation will be responsible only
for the state's proportionate share of the actual Project costs incurred at the time of
any such termination.
If you accept this allocation you will be required to supply WSDOT Aviation with
monthly copies of billings and costs for this Project. Failure to supply these copies may
slow down and possibly jeopardize your reimbursement. WSDOT Aviation must be able
to review your records on this Project at any time for future audit purposes.
WSDOT Aviation expects the project to be completed by the date indicated on the
submitted project schedule. Any modifications to the schedule will need to be submitted
to WSDOT Aviation with an explanation and schedule revision. All modifications must
be approved by WSDOT Aviation in writing prior to making any changes. The
Washington State Legislature has appropriated funding for WSDOT's Airport Aid
Program for the 2017 — 2019 biennium ending on June 30, 2019. Any airport's failure to
complete a project in a timely manner potentially affects funding of the entire
Washington State aviation system.
