Federal awards include grants, subgrants, loans, awards, cooperative agreements and other forms of financial assistance as well as contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, task orders, and delivery orders.

	Federal regulations originating in Section 123(e) of the 1987 Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act (STURAA) provides that agencies (state, county, or ~~city~~) may receive soft match credit for the cost of a locally funded bridge replacement or rehabilitation that would count toward the local match on federally funded bridge replacement projects. It is not the intent of the program to give credit for all bridge work that is done by the LPA, but only for the eligible replacement and rehabilitation work which is performed according to the appropriate guidelines.		Federal regulations originating in Section 123(e) of the 1987 Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act (STURAA) provides that agencies (state, county, city, or special road district) may receive soft match credit for the cost of a locally funded bridge replacement or rehabilitation that would count toward the local match on federally funded bridge replacement projects in accordance with [https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title23-section133&num=0&edition=prelim 23 USC 133f(3)].

It is not the intent of the program to give credit for all bridge work that is done by the LPA, but only for the eligible replacement and rehabilitation work which is performed according to the appropriate guidelines.

	The bridge being replaced or rehabilitated for which the agency desires credit must meet the contractual requirements of the LPA and the MoDOT intent of the [[136.~~3 Federal Aid Basics~~#136.3.8.~~1 Highway Bridge Program~~ (~~BRO & BRM~~)\|Highway Bridge Program (HBP)]].

	One of the objectives of the Bridge Soft Match Credit Program is to provide an alternate process for LPAs to remove deficient bridges from the Bridge Inventory. A number of requirements that would apply to projects receiving HBP funding are waived in the Soft Match Credit Program. These exceptions are highlighted in bold print in this article.
