9. LETTER OF CREDIT: The Sponsor agrees to request cash drawdowns on the letter of credit only when actually needed for its disbursements and to timely reporting of such disbursements as required. It is understood that failure to adhere to this provision may cause the letter of credit to be revoked. %W. INFORMAL LETTER AMENDMENT OF AIP PROJECTS: It is mutually understood and agreed that if, during the life of the project, the FAA determines that the maximum grant obligation of the United States exceeds the expected needs of the Sponsor by $25,000.00 or five percent (5%), whichever is greater, the maximum obligation of the United States can be unilaterally reduced by letter from the FAA advising of the budget change. Conversely, if there is an overrun in the total actual eligible and allowable project costs, FAA may increase the maximum grant obligation of the United States to cover the amount of the overrun not to exceed the statutory percent limitation and will advise the Sponsor by letter of the increase. It is further understood and agreed that if, during the life of the project, the FAA determines that a change in the grant description is advantageous and in the best interests of the United States, the change in grant description will be unilaterally amended by letter from the FAA. Upon issuance of the aforementioned letter, either the grant obligation of the United States is adjusted to the amount specified or the grant description is amended to the description specified. 11. PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM: For a project to replace or reconstruct pavement at the airport, the Sponsor shall implement an effective airport pavement maintenance management program as is required by Airport Sponsor Assurance Number C-11. The Sponsor shall use such program for the useful life of any pavement constructed, reconstructed, or repaired with federal financial assistance at the airport. As a minimum, the program must conform with the provisions outlined below Pavement Maintenance Management Program An effective pavement maintenance management program is one that details the procedures to be followed to assure that proper pavement maintenance, both preventive and repair, is performed.

The following must be depicted in an appropriate form and level of detail: (1) location of all runways, taxiways, and aprons; (2) dimensions; (3) type of pavement, and; (4) year of construction or most recent major rehabilitation. For compliance with the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) assurances, pavements that have been constructed, reconstructed, or repaired with federal financial assistance shall be so depicted. b. Inspection Schedule. (1) Detailed Inspection. A detailed inspection must be performed at least once a year. If a history of recorded pavement deterioration is available, i.e., Pavement Condition Index (PCI) survey as set forth in Advisory Circular 150/5380-6, "Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport Pavements," the frequency of inspections may be extended to three years. (2) Drive-By Inspection. A drive-by inspection must be performed a minimum of once per month to detect unexpected changes in the pavement condition. c. Record Keeping. Complete information on the findings of all detailed inspections and on the maintenance performed must be recorded and kept on file for a minimum of five years. The types of distress, their locations, and remedial action, scheduled or performed, must be documented. FAA Form 5100-37(10-89)-5100-38C 3 of 7
