Is an inter-governmental agreement (IGA) or a joint-project agreement (JPA) with ADOT required when applying for a grant?

An IGA or a JPA is required if the local entity is the successful recipient, and the grant requires ADOT administer the project on behalf of the local entity. If the local entity is a CA agency or the grant allows for the local entity to be a direct recipient, an IGA/JPA may not be needed. When ADOT is submitting a grant application on behalf of a local entity that is an eligible grant recipient but not entitled to submit an application per the specific NOFO requirements, and ADOT will be administering the project if the local entity is the successful grant recipient, a letter of intent (LOI) signed by the local entity and ADOT is required before ADOT will submit the application on behalf of the local entity.
