Current through July 10, 2024
(a) A municipality
			 must file a completed preliminary application with the Commissioner on or
			 before March 1 in any fiscal year, unless otherwise extended by the
			 Commissioner, in order to be eligible to receive a commitment to fund during
			 the fiscal year next following such date.
(b) Any municipality which submits a
			 completed preliminary application and which does not receive a commitment to
			 fund as provided in subsection (a) of section 13a-175u-5 of the Regulations of
			 Connecticut State Agencies shall be required to resubmit such preliminary
			 application for it to be reconsidered for funding during the next succeeding
			 fiscal year, or shall notify the Commissioner in writing that the municipality
			 wants such preliminary application as previously submitted to be so
			 reconsidered.
(c) A preliminary
			 application shall provide all information requested by the Commissioner on the
			 preliminary application form.
(d)
			 Following each filing date the Commissioner shall rank in the order of the
			 priority list of eligible bridge projects then in effect each preliminary
			 application which is complete. On or before June 30 of the then current fiscal
			 year, the Commissioner shall issue commitments to fund, in the order of such
			 priority list, each eligible bridge project the construction of which is
			 scheduled to commence within the next succeeding fiscal year, to the extent
			 moneys therefore are available, provided, however, that a municipality may
			 request a waiver of the construction commencement date from the Commissioner if
			 justification can be provided for not commencing construction of an eligible
			 bridge project within the next succeeding fiscal year. However, for eligible
			 projects for which the preliminary application was filed on or before October
			 1, 1984, or such later date as may be established by the Commissioner,
			 commitments to fund shall be issued by the Commissioner within 90 days of such
			 date.
(e) A commitment to fund
			 shall lapse (1) as to a project loan or a project grant if the municipality's
			 supplemental application as filed with the Commissioner contains estimated
			 project costs in excess of those set forth in the municipality's preliminary
			 application and insufficient moneys remain to fund the amount of the project
			 loan or project grant or both, as the case may be, being requested, or (2) a
			 municipality fails to file with the Commissioner within 270 days of the date
			 its commitment to fund is issued, unless any such date is extended by the
			 Commissioner for good cause shown, a completed supplemental application which
			 shall contain all information requested by the Commissioner on the supplemental
			 application form.
(e) In the case
			 of an eligible bridge project involving more than one municipality, only one
			 preliminary application and one supplemental application shall be filed. Each
			 such application shall contain all the information required by these
			 regulations with respect to each participating municipality and the preliminary
			 application shall designate the managing municipality.
