employee, approved by the appropriate official, and coincide with a pay period. These time records should be
used to record the distribution of salary costs to the appropriate accounts no less frequently than quarterly.
(iii) Formal agreements with independent contractors, such as consultants, must include a
description of the services to be performed, the period of performance, the fee and method of payment, an
itemization of travel and other costs which are chargeable to the agreement, and the signatures of both the

❑ Independence Day (Impaired Driving)
❑ Labor Day (Impaired Driving)
Mandatory Enforcement Campaign Requirements:
The applicant can apply for funds to conduct Impaired Driving and/or Occupant Protection Enforcement for each
campaign and at least one must be conducted. There are separate requirements and desired outputs for each
enforcement type. Each campaign will also have a primary message and enforcement emphasis (e.g. "Click It or Ticket"
or"Drive Sober Or Get Pulled Over'). Agencies are encouraged to conduct enforcement campaigns for both Impaired
Driving and Occupant Protection. Other traffic safety citations may be issued during mandatory campaigns. Examples of
other citations for violations directly relating to contributory causes of crashes would be speeding, electronic device use,
failure to yield, disobeying traffic control signal/device, etc., in addition to DUI arrests and seat belt use citations.
Occupant Protection Enforcement:
•A minimum of thirty (30) percent of total mandatory campaign hours for the grant year shall be worked between the
hours of 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
Nighttime hours can be scheduled when most appropriate by the grant agency. (Example; If an agency's total
mandatory and optional campaign hours add up to 100 hours, a minimum of 30 hours must be worked between 6:00
State of Illinois
GRANT AGREEMENT FISCAL YEAR 2023/1 18 22

Agreement No.HS-23-0036,04-02
p.m. and 6:00 a.m.). Thus, the agency has the flexibility to schedule nighttime hours when most appropriate during the
grant year.
•Thirty (30) percent of all citations while working Occupant Protection enforcement should be for occupant restraint
violations.
• See the Desired Outputs section for citation/traffic stop expectations. (Exhibit E)
Impaired Driving Enforcement:
• Patrol hours must occur between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
Impaired driving patrol hours may be extended outside of 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. with pre-approval from your assigned
IDOT Safety Grant Administrator(GA). (See Exhibit D)
Daytime patrol hours can be conducted BY ARIDE/DRE-TRAINED OFFICERS ONLY between the hours of 6:00 a.m.
and 6:00 p.m.
•All officers conducting grant-funded, alcohol-related enforcement must be trained in the Standardized Field Sobriety
Test(SFST). Approved training in this area consists of the 24-hour National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), DWI Detection and SFST Course or other N HTSA/I LETS B-approved refresher course. To satisfy this
requirement, officers must complete an ILETSB-accredited academy, a 24-hour SFST course or an SFST refresher
course every four(4)years from the date of their last completed certified training. These courses must be taught by
certified SFST instructors. Note:A law enforcement agency may provide in-house training for its own officers conducted
by officers from the same agency, provided the trainer is a certified ILETSB SFST instructor. Officers may also attend
training at an agency other than their own if the training is conducted by a certified SFST instructor. In these situations, a
class roster showing all officers who completed the training must be sent to the ILETSB. Upon request, law enforcement
agencies must be able to produce verification of compliance with this requirement.
• See the Desired Outputs section for citation/traffic stop expectations. (Exhibit E)
B. Optional Enforcement Campaigns—these campaigns are optional. An agency can participate in zero, one, two, three
or all of them if they so choose.
Agencies may participate in the following campaigns with the predetermined message emphasis:
❑ Halloween (Impaired Driving)
❑ Super Bowl (Impaired Driving)
❑ Distracted Driving (Distracted Driving)
❑ Child Passenger Safety (Occupant Protection)
Optional Enforcement Campaign Requirements:
Like the mandatory campaigns, the applicant agency can apply for funds to conduct Impaired Driving and/or Occupant
Protection Enforcement for the Halloween, Super Bowl campaigns. Distracted Driving and Child Passenger Safety only
have one campaign focus, but all campaigns will have a primary message and enforcement emphasis(as seen above).
Although the focus of the campaign may be occupant protection, impaired driving, child passenger safety, or distracted
driving, your agency can still issue other citations such as but not limited to speeding.
Occupant Protection Enforcement:
• See Mandatory Occupant Protection Enforcement Requirements (Exhibit E)
State of Illinois
GRANT AGREEMENT FISCAL YEAR 2023/1 18 22

Impaired Driving Enforcement:
• See Mandatory Impaired Driving Enforcement Requirements (Exhibit E)
Distracted Driving Enforcement:
• Only conducted in the month of April.
• No time of day or week requirements.
• See the Desired Outputs section for citation/traffic stop expectations. (Exhibit E)
C.Additional Enforcement-Agencies can apply for funding to conduct additional enforcement along with the mandatory
and optional campaigns. The focus, time, and date are completely up to the department based on their traffic
enforcement needs but they cannot be used during the mandatory campaign dates. Agencies shall conduct enforcement
focusing on contributory causes of crashes, i.e., speeding, impaired driving, electronic device use, failure to yield,
disobeying traffic control signal/device, as well as occupant restraint violations.
In the past, grantees would apply for a specific amount of funds for the type of additional enforcement.
Now, agencies can apply for funds as one lump sum under this section without defining a specific enforcement type.
These additional enforcement funds will be used when the agency decides it is most necessary, as long as it is outside
of the mandatory campaign dates. Funds can be used as needed throughout the grant year.
Additional Enforcement Requirements:
•Additional Traffic Safety Enforcement Efforts can be scheduled anytime, day or night outside the mandatory campaign
dates.
Agencies shall conduct enforcement focusing on contributory causes of crashes, i.e., speeding, impaired driving,
electronic device use, failure to yield, disobeying traffic control signal/device, as well as occupant restraint violations.
•Additional Traffic Safety Enforcement funds cannot exceed fifty(50) percent of the requested mandatory and optional
enforcement funds.
•Agencies shall submit only one BSPE 205 reporting form and one BSPE 500 reimbursement claim for the entire month
when additional enforcement was worked. The BSPE 205 must be submitted within two weeks(14 days)from the end of
the month when work was completed. The BSPE 500 shall be submitted within 45 days from the end of the month when
work was completed.

agent of the Grantor, to inspect all work, materials, payrolls, audit working papers, and other data and records
pertaining to the Project; and to audit the books, records, and accounts of the Grantee with regard to the Project. The

used for settlement of the grant and Project closeout. Grantee agrees to implement any audit findings contained in the
Grantor's authorized inspection or review, final audit, the Grantee's independent audit, or as a result of any duly
� borized inspection or review
A. Code of Conduct
1. Personal Conflict of Interest -The Grantee shall maintain a written code or standard of conduct which shall
govern the performance of its employees, officers, board members, or agents engaged in the award and administration
of contracts supported by state or federal funds. Such code shall provide that no employee, officer, board member or
agent of the Grantee may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by state or
federal funds if a conflict of interest, real or apparent would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when any of the
parties set forth below has a financial or other interest in the firm selected for award:
a. the employee, officer, board member, or agent;
b. any member of his or her immediate family;
c. his or her partner; or
d. an organization which employs, or is about to employ, any of the above.
The conflict of interest restriction for former employees, officers, board members and agents shall apply for one year.

shall be settled through negotiations between the Grantor and the Grantee. In the event that agreement is not
consummated at this negotiation level, the dispute will then be referred through proper administrative channels for a
decision and ultimately, if necessary, to the Secretary of the Illinois Department of Transportation. The Grantor shall

fulfillment of this Agreement. The Grantor's decision upon all claims, questions and disputes shall be final and
conclusive.
