| This grant is for FY 2009 AARA funding sub-allocated to GRTA by the regional designated recipient, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA). This application will serve as a continuation of project funding and expansion for the GRTA Xpress bus system. In the Atlanta Urbanized Area, the Atlanta Regional Commission managed the distribution of the Transit Capital Assistance Program funds. In early March 2009, ARC provided each County and each transit operator a funding amount for which they could designate projects. Four suburban counties including Coweta, Forsyth, Douglas and Paulding did not have sufficient eligible projects and requested that GRTA utilize all or a part their stimulus funding. ARC decided that for GRTA’s projects to be eligible, the proposed project must directly benefit the County that was providing the funding. This grant will pay for expansion of Sigman Road Park n Ride Lot; Rockdale County owns the land and developed the property through a prior FTA grant (GA-90-X100). This AARA grant will complete the expansion. GRTA’s final project list includes six projects including: • Thornton Road Park and Ride Lot and Operations Facility - useful life 40 years At Thornton Road, we are planning for approximately 50 bus parking spaces, a light maintenance facility which consists of three bay garage, bus wash and fueling island. There will be about 2,500 square feet of offices, restrooms and storage space. Bus operations, cleaning, fueling and preventative maintenance will be performed. Major maintenance like engines, transmissions, and body work will be completed off site. GDOT owns the property and GRTA has an agreement to use the property. • Sigman Road Park and Ride Expansion (Eng/Design, Construction, Surveillance and Security Equipment, Misc. Station Equipment, and Project Administration); facility will have a useful life 40 years. • Additional Bus for GRTA Route 400 - useful life 12 years or 500,000 miles • Dallas Park and Ride Improvements - construction/repaving existing lot and putting in a shelter)- usefule life 10 years • Preventative Maintenance for BUC shuttle The total federal grant dollars included in this application is $8,531,812 (100%) with no local match required. The projects are listed in the 2008-2013 TIP administrative modifications approved on April 18, 2009 page 54.

Missing MS entry for 11.7A.00, Preventative Maintenance Dates entered for 11.32.07, Acq Surv/Sec Equip still reflect ineligibility (awarded prior to 01 Oct 2008). If you can competitively award now, will have to use funds elsewhere. Please also ensure the following Director's Review comments have been addressed: 1) Useful life missing for some of the line items. Do not use a range. 2) Main facilty life should be between 40-50 yrs. 3) Provide more details on this facility? What is a "light" facility? 4) Who owns the land the park and ride lots and facility will be built. Does GRTA have control of the land? 4) for the eng and design line items please provide more details. 5) Some milestones award dates are before Oct 1, 2008. The ALI are not elig. 6) Need more info on the expansion for the bus. |

The Recipient agrees that the following provisions apply to American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) funds authorized under Pub. L. 111-5, February 17, 2009, and agrees to comply with the requirements thereof, except to the extent FTA determines otherwise in writing: a. Identification of Recovery Act Funding. A Grant Agreement or Cooperative Agreement financed with Recovery Act funds will indicate that the Recovery Act is the source of funding as follows: (1) If the “Citation of Statute(s) Authoring Project” of the underlying Grant Agreement displays “49 USC 5307 – Urbanized Area - Economic Recovery,” the Project or Projects are financed with Recovery Act funds appropriated for the Transit Capital Assistance for the Urbanized Area Formula Grant Program authorized by 49 U.S.C. § 5307. b. Identification of Project(s). The Project or Projects for which Recovery Act funding is provided are set forth in the Recipient’s application and reflected in the Approved Project Budget. c. Federal Requirements. In addition to applicable Recovery Act statutory and regulatory requirements, the Recipient agrees that applicable requirements of 49 U.S.C. chapter 53 apply to federally assisted transit projects financed with Recovery Act funds and the Recovery Act funding, except that the Federal share of the costs for which any Grant is made under this heading shall be, at the option of the recipient, up to 100 percent. d. U.S. OMB Provisions. The Recipient agrees to comply with applicable provisions of U.S. Office of Management and Budget, “Requirements for Implementing Sections 1512, 1605, and 1606 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for Financial Assistance Awards,” 2 C.F.R. Part 176, 74 Fed. Reg. 18449 et seq., April 23, 2009. Specifically, the Recipient acknowledges and agrees to comply with the following provisions (1) Reporting and Registration Requirements under Section 1512 of the Recovery Act. (a) This award requires the recipient to complete projects or activities which are funded under the Recovery Act and to report on use of Recovery Act funds provided through this award. Information from these reports will be made available to the public. (b) The Recipient agrees to submit the requisite reports no later than ten calendar days after each calendar quarter in which it receives the Federal assistance award funded in whole or in part by the Recovery Act. (c) The Recipient agrees to maintain, and to require its first-tier subrecipients to maintain, current registrations in the Central Contractor Registration (http://www.ccr.gov) at all times during which they have active federal awards funded with Recovery Act funds. A Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number (http://www.dnb.com) is one of the requirements for registration in the Central Contractor Registration. (d) The recipient agrees to report the information described in section 1512(c) of the Recovery Act using the reporting instructions and data elements that will be provided online at http://www.FederalReporting.gov and ensure that any information that is pre-filled is corrected or updated as needed. (2) Buy America Requirements under Section 1605 of the Recovery Act. Statutory provisions of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 impose Buy America requirements sufficient for compliance with Section 1605 of the Recovery Act (3) Wage Rate Requirements under Section 1606 of the Recovery Act. Statutory provisions of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 impose Wage Rate requirements involving construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair sufficient for compliance with Section 1606 of the Recovery Act. (4) Recovery Act Transactions Listed in Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and Recipient Responsibilities for Informing Subrecipients. (a) To maximize the transparency and accountability of funds authorized under the Recovery Act as required by Congress and in accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 18.20 or 49 C.F.R. § 19.21, as applicable, the Recipient agrees to maintain records that identify adequately the source and application of Recovery Act funds. (b) A Recipient covered by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and OMB Circular A-133, “Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations,” agrees to separately identify the expenditures for Federal awards under the Recovery Act on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) and the Data Collection Form (SF-SAC) required by OMB Circular A-133. The Recipient agrees to accomplish this by identifying expenditures for Federal awards made under Recovery Act separately on the SEFA, and as separate rows under Item 9 of Part III on the SF-SAC by CFDA number, and inclusion of the prefix “ARRA-” in identifying the name of the Federal program on the SEFA and as the first characters in Item 9d of Part III on the SF-SAC. (c) The Recipient agrees to separately identify to each subrecipient, and document at the time of subaward and at the time of disbursement of funds, the Federal award number, CFDA number, and amount of Recovery Act funds. When the Recipient awards Recovery Act funds for an existing program, the Recipient agrees to furnish sufficient information to each subrecipient that distinguishes the subawards of incremental Recovery Act funds from regular subawards under the existing program. (d) The Recipient agrees to require each subrecipient to include on its SEFA information to specifically identify Recovery Act funding similar to the requirements for the recipient SEFA described above. This information is needed to allow the Recipient to properly monitor subrecipient expenditure of ARRA funds as well as oversight by FTA, DOT, Offices of Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office. e. One-Time Funding. The Recipient acknowledges that receipt of Recovery Act funds is a “one-time” disbursement that does not create any future obligation by the FTA to advance similar funding amounts. f. Integrity. The Recipient agrees that all data it submits to FTA in compliance with Recovery Act requirements will be accurate, objective, and of the highest integrity. g. Violations of Law. The Recipient agrees that it and each of its subrecipients shall report to the U.S. DOT Inspector General or other appropriate Inspector General any credible evidence that a principal, employee, agent, contractor, subrecipient, subcontractor, or other person has submitted a false claim under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729 et seq., or has committed a criminal or civil violation of law pertaining to fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct involving Recovery Act funds. h. Maintenance of Effort. A Recipient that is a State agrees to comply with the maintenance of effort certification it has made in compliance with Section 1201 of Recovery Act. i. Emblems. The Recipient agrees to use signs and materials that display both the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) emblem and the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program emblem to identify its Project(s) financed with Recovery Act funds that are provided by U.S. DOT in a manner consistent with Federal guidance, and to include this provision in any subagreements, leases, third party contracts, or other similar documents used in connection with its Recovery Act Project(s). j. Further Requirements. The Recipient agrees to comply with applicable future Federal requirements that may be imposed on the use of Recovery Act funds. |
