WHEREAS, the U.S. Department of Transportation has created the Consolidated Planning Grant program and the Metropolitan Planning Organizations, the Department, the Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Highway Administration have mutually agreed to participate; and

 

WHEREAS, the Department and the Planning Agencies have mutually cooperated in developing this intergovernmental agreement and have agreed to the consolidation of these funds, the distribution formula and the matching ratio.

 

 

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:

 

1.  PURPOSE AND SCOPE  

1.1  Work to be performed under this Agreement and the compensation for such work shall be identified in a Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), prepared on an annual basis for each fiscal year. The UPWP (Exhibit A) shall consist of the tasks for the year as accepted by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).

 

1.2  The Planning Agency shall not commence work to be performed in the UPWP until the date specified by a written notice to proceed by the Department (which may be an electronic notice) and shall complete the work by the date specified in the UPWP, unless the time thereof is extended by mutual agreement of the parties hereto evidenced by letters or electronic notice.

 

 

By preparing and submitting the annual UPWP, the Planning Agency agrees to perform such services within the total annual planning funds made available for that purpose. The UPWP shall be deemed incorporated herein.

 

 

2.  FUNDING

 

The amount of federal funds available to pay for services performed by the Planning Agency in any one year is limited by the amount of the unused portion of the allocated funds for the Urbanized Area made available through Section 104 (f) Title 23 US Code and any amendments thereto and Section 5303 of 49 US Code and any amendments thereto.

 

2.1  The Department shall not be obligated to use State funds under this agreement. The Department’s use of federal planning funds to pay for costs shall be limited to the costs which are actually incurred by the Planning Agency and which are allowable, as defined in Paragraph 6 of this agreement. The Planning Agency shall be solely responsible for all costs incurred which are either not allowable or which exceed the funds available in the agreement.

 

As per 23 CFR Section 420.111(b), the UPWP shall include a description of work to be accomplished and cost estimates for each activity. For expenditures, federal planning revenues (PL and 5303) do not have to be identified by sources; however, local match revenues should be identified.

 

 

By June 30 of each year the Department shall notify the Planning Agency, in writing, of the level of federal planning funds which are expected to be available for programming in the annual UPWP for the following fiscal year, which will commence October 1 of each year and end September 30 of the following year.

The parties hereto expressly recognize that the contractor is to be paid, reimbursed, or otherwise compensated with funds provided to the State by the Federal Government for the purpose of contracting for the services provided for herein, and therefore, the contractor expressly understands and agrees that all its rights, demands, and claims to compensation arising under this agreement are contingent upon receipt of such funds by the State. In the event that such funds or any part thereof are not received by the State, the State may immediately terminate this agreement without liability, including liability for termination costs.

 

3.  PERSONNEL

 

3.1  The Planning Agency shall take all reasonable steps to obtain the necessary staff or consultant services required to carry out all tasks described and identified in the UPWP.

INTRODUCTION

The Unified Planning Work Program describes planning tasks and personnel costs and

also budgets funds for the Fiscal Year 2002 running from October 1, 2001 through

September 30, 2002. The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), composed of

Grand Junction and Mesa County elected officials and staff, coordinates this planning

with state officials from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the

Colorado Health Department who, through the Air Quality Control Commission, is

charged with protecting air quality throughout Colorado. The ultimate goal of this

planning process is an efficient, effective transportation system. The MPO staff are

housed within the Mesa County Regional Transportation Planning Office (RTPO).

To further the continuing, comprehensive, and cooperative planning for the Grand

Junction Urbanized Area (Fig. 2,) the Federal Highway Administration provides

Planning (PL) funds to the MPO under the administration of CDOT. The FY 2002

Consolidated Planning Grant (CPG) allocation to the MPO is $130,168. Maximum

payable by the department is $106,738. This amount is made up of Federal Highway

Administration (FhwA) funds in the amount of $84,922 and of Federal Transit

Administration (FTA) funds in the amount of $21,816 for a total of 82% of the

Consolidated Planning Grant. These funds are matched at an 18.0% ratio by the MPO

members. Local match for PL and Section 5303 is $23,430 and is split 50/50 between

Mesa County and the City of Grand Junction.

In addition, Section 5307 FTA grant funds will provide $45,000 with a $11,250 local

match requirement for a total of $56,250 to the RTPO in FY 2002 for the purpose of FTA

grant administration and public transit coordination. Other funding to the RTPO for FY

2002 includes $30,000 from Mesa County, $2,500 from Fruita, and $1,000 from Palisade

for a total of $33,500 for Transportation Planning Region planning activities

The RTPO, therefore, proposes to spend a total of $219,918, including local match, on

transportation-related tasks contained in the FY 2002 Unified Planning Work Program.

CDOT, as the Contract Administrator, monitors the timely accomplishment of tasks and

the reimbursement process. In addition, CDOT actively participates in the planning

process through the provision of technical services (Fig. 3.)

The current local operational structure allows for maximum funding to be channeled to

local City and County agencies through the Transportation Technical Advisory

Committee (TTAC) and Transportation Policy Advisory Committee (TPAC) and to

provide staff and resources for completion of the various tasks through the RTPO and the

member governments. The MPO continues to shift much of the administrative activity

associated with each task (grant administration, planning, and implementation) into the

task budget itself. This allows the MPO Administrator (the RTPO Director) to focus on

required documents, annual certification, and overall policy development for the agency,

and to direct more dollars to actual studies and activities.

The RTPO performs administrative functions working directly to support the task

elements of the FY 2002 UPWP. This office is the "single point-of-contact" between

MPO agencies and state and federal officials. The technical operational agencies assume

an active role in developing, implementing, and monitoring the program tasks. The MPO

Administrator provides technical support and performs the managerial tasks necessary

for the MPO to comply with state and federal requirements. Program goals call for

continued support of grant administration, planning, and implementation tasks with

minimum administrative overhead. The MPO's local approach to this UPWP should

accomplish those goals.
