Professional Engineer Certified: All projects must be designed by an engineer licensed in the State of Maine. Once constructed, the engineer of record must certify that the project was constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications.

10-Year Useful Life: The work included must be considered a capital improvement with a minimum 10-Year useful life.

Deliverability: The construction will be administered by the municipality. The municipality must demonstrate they have the ability or can obtain the ability to administer the project. Construction must commence within twelve (12) months and construction must be certified complete in twenty-four (24) months from when a Cooperative Agreement is executed. If timelines are not met PACTS may reallocate funding to other eligible projects in other communities. However, the municipality may request an extension if extenuating circumstances exist.

Public Involvement: The municipality is responsible to lead the public involvement process consistent with all laws, including Maine’s Sensible Transportation Policy Act. The value and extent of documented community support will be considered a project benefit.

Betterment to the State Transportation System: Projects must be improvements above and beyond mitigation work for a traffic movement permit, or above and beyond the legal requirements of a highway opening permit.

Multiple Party Agreements: The municipality and all involved parties must be willing to enter into an agreement whereby the PACTS state funds contribution is capped based on project estimates prior to construction.

Right-of-Way Acquisition: The PACTS MPI will only reimburse for the right of way required for the transportation betterment. Most projects are expected to be within existing right of way; however, the municipality may want or need to secure property rights. If this is required, the process shall be in accordance with all applicable State and Federal Laws, and a detailed explanation must be provided as part of the application.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): All PACTS MPI projects must comply with ADA requirements.

Complete Streets: All PACTS MPI projects must comply with the MaineDOT Complete Streets Policy.
