Where the total amount disbursed under a Fund loan due to the low bid building cost is less than the initial Fund loan award, and/or where the total amount disbursed under a Fund loan due to the final building cost is less than the Fund loan amount due to the low bid building cost, the Fund loan shall be adjusted, if necessary, and the difference shall be retained by the Fund to be reallocated, pursuant to the provisions of a legislative appropriations act, to other environmental infrastructure facilities projects and shall not be available for increased costs (including increased costs due to differing site conditions). However, where allowable cost overruns occur, Fund moneys may be used to cover these cost overruns up to the loan amount. Line item adjustments for allowable project costs may be made at the request of the recipient provided the Fund loan amount in the Fund loan agreement is not exceeded and provided all project related contracts have been awarded. However, the Department shall not allow line item adjustments to reallocate funds resulting from cost underruns due to a reduction in project scope.
