ATTACHMENT C - MARAD PIDP 2024 Grant Terms and Conditions
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. No. 117-58 (Nov. 15, 2021), and the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, Pub. L. No. 118-42 (Mar. 9, 2024) ("Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2024" or "the Act") appropriated funds to the United States Department
of Transportation (the "USDOT") Maritime Administration ("MARAD") for fiscal year (FY)
2024 under the heading "Port Infrastructure Development Program." Of the amount
appropriated, $500,000,000 is available to make grants to improve port facilities at coastal
seaports, inland river ports, or Great Lakes ports. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024
also appropriated $70,460,124 for Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) grants for
Community Project Funding (CPF), also known as Congressionally Directed Spending. The list
of projects selected for CPF are found in the table entitled "Community Project
Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending" included in the Act's accompanying explanatory
statement. The MARAD program administering these funds is the Port Infrastructure
Development Program (the "PIDP").
On December 27, 2023, MARAD posted a funding opportunity at Grants.gov with funding
opportunity title "Port Infrastructure Development Program" and funding opportunity number
MA-PID-24-001. The notice of funding opportunity posted at Grants.gov (the "NOFO")
solicited applications for Federal financial assistance under the FY 2024 PIDP for the available
FY 2024 PIDP discretionary funding.
These general terms and conditions are incorporated by reference in a project-specific
agreement under the FY 2024 PIDP. The term "Recipient" is defined in the project-specific
portion of the agreement. The project-specific portion of the agreement includes schedules A
through H. The project-specific portion of the agreement may include special terms and
conditions in project-specific articles.
ARTICLE 1
PURPOSE
1.1 Purpose. The purpose of this award is to make grants to improve port facilities at
coastal seaports, inland river ports, or Great Lakes ports. The parties will accomplish
that purpose by achieving the following objectives:
(1) timely completing the Project; and
(2) ensuring that this award does not substitute for non-Federal investment in the
Project, except as proposed in the Technical Application, if applicable, as
modified by schedule D.

(2) MARAD relied on statements of fact in both the Technical Application and this
agreement to determine that the Recipient and the Project are eligible under the
terms of the NOFO and Program Statute;
(3) MARAD relied on statements of fact in both the Technical Application and this
agreement to establish the terms of this agreement; and
(4) if the Discretionary-CPF designation in section 4 of schedule F is "Discretionary,"

117-58 (Nov. 15, 2021) and the amount listed for "FY2024" is from PIDP grant funding
that was appropriated in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, Pub. L. No. 118-42
(Mar. 9, 2024).
(d) If section 3 of schedule F identifies the Funding Act as something other than "FY2024"

Recipient shall request a modification of this agreement to update schedule C:

5.4 Budget Changes.
(a) The Recipient acknowledges that if the cost of completing the Project increases:
(1) that increase does not affect the Recipient's obligation under this agreement to
complete the Project; and
(2) MARAD will not increase the amount of this award to address any funding
shortfall.
(b) The Recipient shall request a modification of this agreement to update schedule D if, in
comparing the Project's budget to the amounts listed in section 3 of schedule D:

(2) the total eligible project costs amount decreases.
(c) For budget changes that are not identified in section 5.4(b), the Recipient shall follow
the applicable procedures of MARAD and document the changes in writing.

consistent with MARAD's requirements, to include in the Project specific additional
activities that are within the scope of this award, as defined in section 1.1 and schedule
B, and that the Recipient could complete with the Project Cost Savings.
In this agreement, "Project Cost Savings" means the difference between the actual
eligible project costs and the total eligible project costs listed in section 3 of schedule D,
but only if the actual eligible project costs are less than the total eligible project costs
