Stewardship Agreement

This agreement ensures that, for at least the next five years, LHTAC is able to continue to assist locals in the contract administration of the Federal-aid program throughout Idaho. Outlined within the agreement are defined authorities for stakeholders, and procedures and processes that are to be implemented when working through the Federal-aid process.

In drafting this agreement, LHTAC and ITD staff worked closely to enhance and streamline which individuals hold approval authority on local Federal-aid projects and to eliminate any duplication.

LHTAC understands that the sponsors input is key, and because of that, we are especially excited about one particular change; decision making authority is now in the hands of LHTAC in close coordination with the sponsor agency. This will allow decisions to be made by those closest to the project, further ensuring the long-term success, and local satisfaction with each project. LHTAC works hard to ensure that processes are streamlined, and that the sponsor is always getting the most bang for their buck, this agreement will only help in achieving this goal.
