If two agencies (say DOT and a City) perform ER work on the same segment of State Highway, can they both submit for reimbursement?
(for example: The City performs emergency clearing operations at 2:00 am to clear a path to the Hospital or EOC and then the Department comes through after daylight to clear more debris and conduct 1st pass.) FHWA is less concerned with the agency performing the work than with the timeliness of the first push work being done. The scenario in which this “double push” would be acceptable is as follows: For non-interstate roads, suppose the local agency/State cuts an initial swath through the debris on the roadway, in order for the utility companies to “safe up” the roadway. Then the local agency/State (or their contractor) crews follow up, coming through within 48 hours to push the remainder of debris from the roadway (outside of the initial swath pushed for the power company). IF both operations are performed within 48 hours of each other, then both are eligible for federal reimbursement for first push. Then the first pass is expected to occur sometime afterwards.
