approved by the Maryland Department of
Transportation (MDOT). MDOT shall
ensure that all design standards, safety
standards, operational standards and
quality assurance standards are maintained
to its satisfaction. Because the projects
identified on Schedule A are only in the
project planning stage, the MDOT is
authorized to transfer projected individual
project costs, subject to paragraph (B),
from one project to another; provided,
however, that the State's total commitment
to the infrastructure construction costs
shall not exceed $70.5 million, provided,
that:

(1) All projects listed on Schedule A
are completed with no further
request for future funding from
the transportation trust fund or
any other State source; and

(2) All cast overrun responsibility
beyond $70.5 million shall be the
responsibility of Prince George's
County and either JKCI or JKCS
as outlined in paragraphs (C)
and (D)

(B) Further provided that the State shall
have the responsibility to construct and
complete the $26.8 million in projects on
Schedule A for which the State has
construction management responsibility.
Funding of the $26.8 million for which the
State has construction management
responsibility may not be increased by
budget amendment or otherwise. However,
if the State projects on Schedule A cost less
than $26.8 million after all construction
costs and payments, right-of-way
settlements or estimates and contract
disputes have been resolved and paid, then
up to $3.0 million may be transferred to
either the County or JKCI/JKCS for use on
projects which have higher costs than
estimated on Schedule A No funds may be
transferred from the $26.8 million identified
