SECTION 3: Pro2rammin2 of Federal Funds 3.1 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) Programming The parties agree to use the SACOG and SJCOG FTIP/MTIP development process as the focal point for making an annual determination regarding the distribution of federal ftmds available for allocation by SACOG and SJCOG within the Lodi/Galt. The parties agree that it is desirable to ensure that a stable funding stream is available for all area operators that allows the operators to carry out coordinated services throughout the urbanized area. SACOG and SJCOG develop their annual programs of projects in consultation with interested parties. Following direct consultation among the parties to this agreement, SACOG and SJCOG distribute notices of intent to develop or amend the FTIP, publishes the proposed program of projects to be adopted, and carries out a public involvement and review process for FTIP adoption or amendment, in compliance with 23 CFR Sections 450.312 and 450.324. The same notices of intent, publication of proposed projects, and public involvement and review also shall be used to fulfill the public hearing requirements of 49 USC Section 5307, covering review and approval of FTA grant applications for FTIP projects. Parties to this agreement that may be seeking FTIP programming and subsequent grant approvals will provide SACOG and SJCOG with sufficient project detail to convey understanding of the projects by all interested agencies and persons, meet FTA grant application requirements, and provide a clear linkage to FTIP project descriptions; SACOG and SJCOG will adjust FTIP project descriptions to a standard fonnat to accomplish these three objectives. Using the approved descriptions, all parties will then advertise the proposed public hearing(s), projects to be programmed, and fund amounts to be programmed through their existing public participation processes. No later than June each year, the Parties shall meet to draft a program of projects for the following federal fiscal year. Following the enactment of an annual federal budget and publication of funding apportionments and earmarks in the Federal Register, SACOG and SJCOG shall inform the parties of the amounts of the formula and other designated federal funds coming to the Lodi/Galt Urbanized Area. SACOG and SJCOG will then re -convene the Parties to finalize the programming of those funds into the FTIP/MTIP, making adjustments as necessary to the draft program of projects completed earlier. As part of the FTIP/MTIP process, projects are programmed in the MT1P on behalf of all transit providers receiving federal funds. SACOG and SJCOG and the Parties shall meet and confer annually to develop a recommended prioritized list of projects for the allocation of federal funds, which would include all FTA 5307 funds apportioned to the Lodi/Galt urbanized area plus additional federal funds that may be available for distribution from FTA and FHWA. The Parties will identify priority projects and endeavor to program the use of said funds based on factors that include the following criteria: a) Consistency with implementation of the SRTPs and RTP/MTP, as described in Section 2 of this MOU b) Degree to which the project will sustain or improve transit levels of service c) Project readiness d) Timely implementation of projects programmed through from the SRTP and MTP planning process e) Ability to segment, phase or defer project work f) Availability of other funds n. If the parties reach consensus on projects to receive funding, the project list advances to the SACOG and SJCOG Boards for approval. If no consensus is reached, SACOG and SJCOG staff will jointly prepare a recommended project list for the operators. The parties then meet and confer again to discuss the list, and if consensus is reached on the list, or a modification of the list, the recommendations go the SACOG and SJCOG Boards for approval. If no consensus is reached, the list prepared by SACOG and SJCOG staff, along with any deliberations of the operators, will be presented to a mediation panel from the Sacramento or San Joaquin County Mediation Center. The goal of this process is to reach an agreement on a project list for the fiscal year(s) in question. The mediation process is advisory; the Board of Directors for SACOG and SJCOG will make the final determination on the project list. The process for the programming of FTA and FHWA transit funding agreed to in this MOU is not intended to, nor does it replace the procedures for programming other federal funds, including earmarked federal fands. 3.2 Applications for Transit Funding Each of the parties seeking federal transit funding, in association with the other transit operators and jurisdictions, will prepare applications to the FTA or FHWA for federal transit funding Draft applications will be submitted to SACOG and SJCOG using the TEAM system, or using the TEAM system or another mutually agreed upon method, in advance of the FTA or FHWA submittal to confirm accuracy and consistency with FTIP/MTIP programming requirements and with the local SRTP and SACOG's and SJCOG's RTP/MTP, as required by federal guidelines. All Parties agree to work in good faith to develop consistent programming, documentation, and funding requests in a manner consistent with FTA or FHWA requirements. 3.3 Designated Recipient The Governor of the State of California is the designated recipient for federal formula funds allocated under the Federal Transit Act, as amended, in the Lodi/Galt Urbanized Area. Should this change, the Parties shall meet and confer to determine the appropriate party for this role. SECTION 4: FTIP Proiect Monitorin2 & Maintenance 4.1 Progress Reporting SACOG and SJCOG are responsible for tracking the overall progress of all projects in the FTIP/T\4TIP in their respective jurisdictions and are required to produce an annual list of projects for which federal funds have been obligated in the proceeding year and will ensure that it is made available for public review. Each Party will assist SACOG's and SJCOG's efforts to track the overall progress of transit projects in the FTIP/MTIP through providing basic access to their FTA Transportation Electronic Award and Management (TEAM) accounts. At a minimum, milestone/progress reports submitted to FTA and reviewed by SACOG and SJCOG shall contain all of the information required in FTA Circular 5010, as 7 amended from time to time, for grant administration procedures. If project specific questions are raised by FTA, SACOG or SJCOG that cannot be answered through review of the TEAM documentation, the affected Party will, upon request, provide SACOG or SJCOG, as applicable, additional information. Examples of information that may be periodically requested include the following: a) A classification of the projects by the individual categories, as identified in the FTIP/MTIP b) A documentation of the stage of project implementation c) An explanation for any project delays if the project is behind schedule d) The reasons for any cost overruns if the project is over budget e) A status on the amount of federal funding obligated, received, and used to support projects f) Any identified needs for an FTIP/MTIP amendment g) Project savings to be reverted, if any, at project completion 4.2 FTIP/1\1TIP Amendments SACOG and SJCOG process FTIP/MTIP amendments on a quarterly basis. A formal request for changes in project cost, scope, or schedule will be necessary in order to be incorporated into an amendment. Certain minor adjustments can be made outside the formal amendment process, but must be requested in writing. As a part of the quarterly progress report, or more frequent reporting if required, each Party will alert SACOG and SJCOG, regarding the reasons an amendment to the FTIP/MTIP is needed. FTIP/MTIP amendments may be needed to address issues such as funding shortfalls, delays in project implementation and/or new projects that need to be included in the FTIP/MTIP. Each Party is responsible for notifying SACOG and SJCOG if there is the need to amend the FTIP/MTIP. Amendments may require three to four months to process for approval. SACOG and SJCOG only make quarterly amendments to the FTIP/MTIP. If STIP funds are involved, an additional 75 days are required to process approval of the amendment.
