The Board of Commissioners approved Rowan Transit System (RTS) to apply for Federal Fiscal Year 2020, 5310 Urban City of Concord Grant on 9/16/2019. The application was submitted to the City of Concord on 5/20/2020 and the grant was awarded on 8/18/2020. The City of Concord did not send the agreement until RTS followed up last month. The period of performance for this grant is December 2021-March 2025. This grant is 80% Federal to 20% local funds and is used to offset Preventative Maintenance. The total project budget is $120,000.
Attached is the unexecuted subrecipient agreement with the City of Concord, a copy of the award email and the original application (exhibit A).
The Transit Director requests that the BOC accepts the awarded $100,000 in Federal Capital Funding and approves the subrecipient agreement for signature by the County Manager. The local match portion is covered by the preventative maintenance line item under R&M Vehicles account.
