<br />Exhibit A <br />For Commercial Applications - The following applies for commercial applications inspected by <br />Metropolitan: <br />Commercial turf removal inspections will fall into the pool of all required inspections at <br />any given time. Although special circumstances appear from time to time, in general no <br />special considerations are given to individual applications. <br />Any discrepancy found following a secondary inspection (i.e., an inspection of the <br />inspector) or during an audit inspection will result in a Metropolitan staff and contractor <br />resolution, and the financial liability associated with varied measurement of a site will not <br />fall back on MWDOC or the Participant Agency for payment. <br />For both residential and commercial projects, unless otherwise noted, once the LTP has been <br />issued, the initial project area square footage may not increase; however, it may decrease if the <br />customer decides to remove less turf than what was measured, or converts some area to ineligible <br />structures i.e. a deck. <br />After the customer has completed their project, a second on-site inspection (post-inspection) <br />occurs to ensure that the renovated areas are in compliance with the program. Entire (100%) <br />project re-measurement should occur during the post-inspection. Negative deviations between <br />the pre- andpost-inspections area measurements, as well as swapped areas occurring without a <br />proper pre- inspection and approval from MWDOC, will result in a reduction of the rebate eligible <br />area (meaning the lesser area measurement will be the basis for the rebate). All projects must be <br />inspected prior to Participant Agency approving payment or invoicing MWDOC. <br />When establishing that areas are eligible, careful inspection with accurate, and precise <br />measurements, as described in Section V, are always required. For Turf Removal, during the <br />post-inspection the total converted area square footage must be measured. Any non-eligible <br />square footage is deducted, such as remaining-turf areas, bare soil, or non-permeable area <br />including hardscape and pools. Refer to specific program terms and conditions for eligibility <br />criteria. <br />The initial project area square footage established during the pre-inspection is to be used as a <br />reference, the final project area is to be based on the square footage as measured during the <br />post-inspection. Once the final project area square footage has been determined, that number, <br />if equal to or less then the approved square footage on the Letter to Proceed, is used to <br />determine the actual potential rebate amount, so long as it does not exceed the total eligible <br />project costs. Only that final project square footage measured by the Participant <br />Agency/inspection vendor may be approved for payment by MWDOC. <br />Once the on-site post inspection is complete, inspector will complete the Post- Inspection section <br />in Droplet, in full, and upload all photos and documentation. Once the Post- Inspection form has <br />been submitted, it will be reviewed by MWDOC, along with copies of all receipts and invoices, and <br />if the Turf Removal project has satisfied all the terms, conditions, guidelines, and requirements of <br />the program, the application will be processed for rebate. If all the terms, conditions, guidelines, <br />and requirements of the program have not been satisfied, the post-inspection will be considered <br />a fail, and the application will be denied and no rebate funds will be issued.
