The following action is requested in this application.

123-01 – RAIL - STATION/STOPS/TERMINALS (Recov)
12.34.03 - Terminal, Intermodal (Transit) (Recov) – Hoboken Boiler

This amendment increases the ALI by $8,420,000 from $4,639,000 to $13,059,000. The Hoboken Boiler project, awarded in a previous amendment, is renamed the Hoboken Boiler and Terminal Repairs project. Funds in the ALI now include repairs to the Hoboken Ferry Terminal. The Hoboken Boiler and Hoboken Terminal repairs are combined into one project since Hoboken Terminal Boiler and the Ferry Ticketing Suite and Employee Facilities occupy or involve the same areas within the terminal. The projects are ready to be constructed within the same timeframe. Combining the two scopes allows for a single contractor to be responsible for scheduling, staging, and coordinating all construction activities in the common work site, and eliminating the potential for conflicts or delays if the work were to be performed by separate contractors.


PERIOD OF PERFMANCE
For the Hoboken Boiler and Terminal project in this amendment, Pre-award authority was exercised in November 2013. The estimated completion date for the project is September 2019.


RESEACH AND DEVELOPMENT
This Application does not include funds for Research and/or Development Activities.



INDIRECT COST RATE
Indirect Costs will be applied to the Hoboken Boiler and Terminal repair project in this application. A Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) is on file with the FTA which is currently under review. NJ TRANSIT is using the provisional rate of 86.53%.



NJ TRANSIT’s procurement procedures are in compliance with all applicable Federal requirements.

NJ TRANSIT will comply with Buy America regulations for the projects in this grant.

A DBE utilization status report is attached in TrAMS and the status of achieving the goals will be updated quarterly.

NJ TRANSIT completed and submitted all applicable FTA templates: Attachment A “FTA Emergency Relief Program - Program of Projects (POP)” – required for all projects, Part B Resiliency Justification Statement – required for locally prioritized resiliency projects, and ), Attachment C “Advisory Base Flood Elevation + 1 (ABFE +1) Analysis Template” – required for all projects, and flood maps – required for all projects.

WAIVER
Projects funded through the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act (DRA) of 2013 are subject to section 904(c) of that Act, which requires expenditure of funds within 24 months of grant obligation, unless this requirement is waived by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). On July 9, 2013, the OMB granted waivers to the 24-month obligation requirement to programs funded under the DRA.

STIP
The project is included in the FY2016-2025 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit administration approved the STIP on November 20, 2015. The STIP ID is T906, NJ TRANSIT System Repairs/Restoration.

On January 27, 2016, FTA approved a STIP modification that transferred funds in T906 from FY15 to FY16.

MATCH/TOLL CREDITS
TOLL CREDIT (Transportation Development Credits).
NJ TRANSIT is using Toll Credit (Transportation Development Credits) funds allocated from the NJ Department of Transportation in the amount of $100 million for each year between 2006 through 2015 to match Federal Grants. NJDOT sent letters to NJ TRANSIT allocating the $100 million in Toll Credit for each year for 2006 through 2014 on February 23, 2006, December 19, 2006, March 12, 2008, November 12, 2008, April 26, 2010, March 28, 2011, July 18, 2012, March 5, 2013, and January 14, 2014. On August 7, 2014, NJ TRANSIT was allocated an additional $60.0 million bringing the total allocation for FY14 to $160.0 million. On March 10, 2015, NJ TRANSIT was allocated $160 million in Toll Credit to match federal grants. Prior year toll credit balances are reviewed at the FTA quarterly review meetings.


FEMA
NJ Transit has neither applied for nor received Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) funds for the projects in this or other grant requests.

INSURANCE
NJ TRANSIT has submitted to its insurers for specific Sandy-related all-agency property damage, revenue loss and extra expense claims in a manner that seeks to maximize the recovery of proceeds consistent with policy terms and limits. To date, NJ TRANSIT has received unallocated payments from its insurers totaling $100 million. NJ TRANSIT will work with FTA to agree to an amount to be allocated for transit recovery and the method NJ TRANSIT will use to allocate said funds to eligible recovery projects. NJ TRANSIT will comply with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 as amended and insure buildings and/or their contents funded under this grant that are within a special flood hazard area.

Extended Budget Description

1. SCOPE AND COST
NJ TRANSIT is requesting funds in the amount of $164,821 for the Newark Light Rail (NLR) restoration. This line item funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3 and not funded by insurance. Funding for this line item is from Tier I. Funds will be matched with $16,482 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits).

Funding for this line item supports disposal of debris removed from rail tracks, replacing parts used to repair overhead catenary lines, and related activities along the Newark Light Rail Line following Superstorm Sandy. Costs include design, construction, project administration, construction management, and any other related costs required to complete the scope such as equipment and supplies. The Newark City Subway (Newark Light Rail) runs from north Newark to its terminus at Newark Penn Station.

A third party contractor will be used. Through a federally compliant competitive RFP process, NJ TRANSIT selected TranSystems as the vendor for design. A construction contractor has not been selected.

Some contracts and in-house work for restoration of NLR were included in Sandy Grant 1, NJ-44-X001. Details are listed in Grants.gov application. This line item represents work beyond that in the previous grant and is not a duplication of effort.

The catenary parts and wire are part of a system that has a useful life of twenty-five (25) years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

2. RECOVERY AND RESILIENCY
Only recovery funds are being requested for this line item. If the line item is expanded in the grant amendment and is primarily recovery with integrated resiliency, NJ TRANSIT will identify the same in the extended budget description and include an appropriate non-add scope to reflect the resiliency activities and associated cost. The methodology for the cost split between recovery and resiliency will be included.

The FTA templates Attachment A and C and flood maps have been completed to demonstrate that the project meets the ABFE+1 requirement.

Amendment 2 - This ALI is being decreased

This amendment decreases the ALI by $700,000 from $4,700,000 to $4,000,000. This amount represents the actual cost of the project. The $700,000 will be transferred to 125-01 – 12.54.01 – Rehab/Renovate Traction Power Equipment – Bay Head Yard Substation Repair (Recovery/Restoration) which is a new ALI in this amendment.

Funds in the amount of $4,700,000 were awarded for in NJ-44-X003-00 for the Weehawken Ferry Repairs project. The project involved dredging and related activities at the Weehawken Port Imperial Ferry Terminal dock area and channel to remove silt deposits created by Superstorm Sandy that reshaped the terminal docking area. This project is complete. The actual cost was $700,000 less than originally anticipated.



-------------
1. SCOPE AND COST
NJ TRANSIT is requesting funding in the amount of $4,700,000 to support the dredging of Weehawken Ferry Terminal which was silted as a result of Superstorm Sandy. This line item funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3 and not covered by insurance. Funding for this line item is from Tier I. Funds will be matched with $470,000 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits).

Funds for this line item support the dredging and related activities at the Weehawken Port Imperial Ferry Terminal dock area and channel to remove silt deposits created by Superstorm Sandy that reshaped the terminal docking. Costs include design, construction, project administration, construction management, and any other related costs required to complete the scope such as equipment and supplies. The Port Imperial Ferry Terminal is an intermodal hub connecting with the Hudson Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) service to Tonnelle Avenue Park/Ride, PATH and NJ TRANSIT commuter busses to Bergen and Passaic counties. Dredging is required to repair the channel depth for unimpeded ferry operations. Overly shallow water causes silt to be ingested by the engines, clogging and degrading them prematurely. The project restores the depth of the channel to pre-Sandy conditions. The Terminal is off the coast of the city of Weehawken, built in the Hudson River with pedestrian ramps between the mainland and the terminal platform and the work of this project is located entirely within the Hudson River.

The useful life of the project is considered to be the normal maintenance cycle for dredging, which occurs once every ten (10) years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

Through a federally compliant, competitive RFP, NJ TRANSIT selected Hatch Mott McDonald as the vendor for design. Through a federally compliant, competitive RFP, NJ TRANSIT selected Urban and also Joule Inc. as the vendor for construction management services. Through a federally compliant, competitive IFB, NJ TRANSIT procured Cashman Dredging as the dredging contractor.

Amendment 2 - This ALI is being reduced

This amendment decreases the ALI by $1,250,000 from $2,000,000 to $750,000. This amount represents the actual cost of the project. The funds will be transferred to -125-03 - 12.54.01 – Rehab/Renovate Traction Power Equipment – ROC Unit Substation which is also a LPR project and is a new ALI in this amendment.

The approved scope for fuel trucks in NJ-44-X003-00 is for the purchase up to 4 fuel trucks, at a cost of $2,000,000 to provide NJ TRANSIT with the ability to fuel emergency generators, locomotives and other equipment in the event of a disruption to the regional fuel supply. The related equipment provides the capability to fuel locomotives, fixed fuel tanks and emergency generators as the various equipment have differing nozzle and filling requirements.

NJ TRANSIT recommends that the line item for this activity be modified to provide for the purchase of two fuel trucks with duel fueling (hose sizes) and high-rail capability to allow the vehicles to operate on rail and highways. The estimated cost of the two fuel trucks is $750,000. The fuel trucks will be equipped with the necessary equipment and hoses to fuel diesel locomotives, fixed fuel tanks and emergency generators. NJ TRANSIT has determined that two fuel trucks with the duel fueling capabilities are sufficient to meet the operational requirements of fueling locomotives and other critical assets in the event of a disruption in the availability of fuel. The high-rail capability provides for more efficient access to critical facilities and terminals in the event local access roads are impassable.




-------------
1. SCOPE AND COST
NJ TRANSIT is requesting funds in the amount of $2,000,000 to support the purchase of up to four (4) fuel trucks and related expenses. Funding for this standalone resiliency project is provided from Tier 2. Funds will be matched with $200,000 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits).

Funding for this line item supports the purchase of fuel trucks, support equipment, and related activities. Costs include design, acquisition, project administration, and any other related costs required to complete the scope such as equipment and supplies. These fuel trucks are intended to be used in cases where a permanent fueling location is rendered inoperable or inaccessible during a storm. If existing fixed fuel facilities in rail yards are inoperable, the fuel trucks can be filled at any commercial station and driven to the site where fuel is needed. The fuel trucks will also assist in pre-storm preparations by accelerating the pre-storm fueling of locomotives that are to be moved to predetermined safe haven locations. These locations have been selected based on the criteria of centralized location, low flood risk, and storage capacity. In addition, the fuel trucks will be able to service equipment at safe haven locations where fuel may be unavailable after a storm. The fuel trucks will be stored at locations not susceptible to flooding with connecting roadway that are also not at risk for flooding. When used, they will serve sites throughout the NJ TRANSIT service area.

The project is not a continuation of any previous section 5324 funded scope.

The useful life of the trucks is ten (10) years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

1. SCOPE AND COST
NJ TRANSIT is requesting funds in the amount of $10,000,000 to make NJ TRANSIT’s Gladstone Line catenary system more resilient. Funding for this standalone resiliency line item is from Tier 2. Funds will be matched with $1,000,000 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits).

Currently, there are 560 wood catenary poles on the Gladstone Line that are susceptible to damage from high winds, snow and ice. This project involves replacement of a portion of the wood poles, those in the worst condition, with steel poles mounted on concrete foundations. Funding for this line item supports the installation of concrete foundations adjacent to existing wood catenary poles, and the purchase and installation of up to 560 steel catenary poles. Costs include design, construction, project administration, construction management, and any other related costs required to complete the scope such as equipment and supplies. The Gladstone Branch runs from Summit to Gladstone Yard, through the municipalities of New Providence, Murray Hill, Berkeley Heights, Gillette, Stirling, Millington, Lyons, Basking Ridge, Bernardsville, Far Hills, Peapack and Gladstone.

The useful life for the foundations is twenty-five (25) years. The useful life for the steel poles is twenty-five (25) years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

Through a federally compliant, competitive RFP, NJ TRANSIT selected Gannet Fleming Transportation Engineers as the vendor for design.

Funds in the amount of $30,000,000 were awarded for the Interoperable Communications Upgrade Project in NJ-44-X003-00. The $30,000,000 awarded in NJ-44-X003-00 was to support upgrades to NJ TRANSIT’s interoperable communications. Specifically, the funding was to support a consolidated Interoperable Communications Center for NJ TRANSIT Operations and Service at NJ TRANSIT’s existing Maplewood General Office Building (GOB). The elements include an Emergency Operation Center (EOC) and Bus Control Center. Potential additions include a Rail Control Center (including new connections from Maplewood to existing wayside signal system infrastructure), Light Rail Control Center, Data Center, and Customer Communications. Access Link Control Center, a Policy Suite, upgrades to NJ TRANSIT Headquarters communication/control capabilities and related activities.

NJ TRANSIT recommends that $14,700,000 be used to fund the EOC, which is the initial phase of the Interoperable Communications Center. The EOC will be a pre-identified location for designated NJ TRANSIT personnel and, if required, emergency responders from outside agencies to meet and develop strategies for coping with emergencies and major planned events. A major objective of the EOC will be to support Incident Command (IC). The EOC shall be staffed with the personnel necessary to make emergency management policy decisions. NJ TRANSIT has determined that the EOC will be located at its existing GOB. The funds will support design and construction work necessary for completion of the EOC, as well as project administration, construction management, and other project-related work.

The potential additions as noted in the grant and the bus control center can be added as later phases if funding becomes available.

Amendment 3 – March 2015

1. SCOPE AND COST
This ALI is increased by $8,420,000 from $4,639,000 to $13,059,000. The Hoboken Boiler project, awarded in a previous amendment, is renamed the Hoboken Boiler and Terminal Repairs project. Funds in the ALI now include repairs to the Hoboken Ferry Terminal. Funds will repair/replace assets damaged by Superstorm Sandy. The areas being rehabilitated at the Hoboken Terminal are ADA compliant.

The total federal funding provided in this amendment, $8,420,000, accounts for $842,000 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits) (90/10%).

The total cost of the project is $16,959,000. Funds in the amount of $4,639,000 were awarded in NJ-44-X003-01. Funds in the amount of $8,420,000 are requested in this application. Local funds in the amount of $3,900,000 also support the project.

Costs for the Hoboken Boiler and Terminal Repairs project include design, project administration, construction, the purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and any other related costs required to complete the scope.

The following is included in the project scope:

1. A new terminal building hot water heating system including two (2) new boiler plants located above the flood zone with new gas fired boilers and the associated pumps and control equipment, new supply and return piping through the building and new radiators and heating units.

2. Demolition and removal of the damaged steam heating system equipment including boilers, pumps, control equipment, piping and radiators and heater units.

3. A new relocated Ferry Ticketing Suite and Employee Facilities to a higher elevation within the Terminal Building including new ticket windows and administrative offices protected by a new flood wall and new employee locker rooms, bath rooms and break areas.

4. The former Ferry Ticketing Suite and Employee Facilities will be remediated and the interior will be demolished and cleaned up. Repairs will be made to the power, lighting and fire protection systems.

5. Equipment repairs and replacements and a new flood protection plank barrier system for the Ferry Operations Electrical Hut on finger Pier #2

6. Remediation, repairs and replacements to selected equipment, systems and structural elements on the Ferry Terminal platform and concourses including passenger information signs, radiant heaters, electrical power, communications, corridor walls and doors and anchor piles.

Justification: The Hoboken Terminal includes separate rail and ferry passenger waiting and boarding areas. The rail passenger waiting and ticket room and the adjacent terminal office, stock, security and passenger assistance areas are heated by a boiler plant housed in a shed at ground level to the immediate south of the main terminal building. The ferry terminal provides ticketing and waiting/boarding areas for passengers. Both the boiler and ferry terminal were damaged by salt water flooding by Superstorm Sandy and rendered inoperable. The terminal is currently heated by a mobile leased heating plant and the ferry ticketing function is housed in temporary trailers.

Hoboken Yard is in a coastal floodplain designated Zone AE on FEMA Preliminary Work Maps for coastal areas. The portion of the yard in which the Terminal and boiler building are located in the western portion of Hoboken Yard which is in a coastal floodplain designated Zone AE for which the 100-year storm BFE is 12 ft. NAVD 88

The new boiler equipment will be located on the second floor of the terminal building above the Design Flood elevation of 14.5 ft. (NAVD88) and the Ticketing windows and administrative offices will be elevated within the Terminal Building and protected by a new flood wall.

Reason for combining scope of Boiler and Terminal work: The Hoboken Terminal Boiler and the Ferry Ticketing Suite and Employee Facilities occupy or involve the same areas with the terminal. They are also ready to be constructed within the same timeframe. Combining the two scopes allows for a single contractor to be responsible for scheduling, staging, and coordinating all construction activities in the common work site, and eliminating the potential for conflicts or delays if the work were to be performed by separate contractors. It should be noted that the design for the two scopes has been prepared by a single designer (STV) for similar reasons. Additional benefits of the combination are that construction management, project administrative tasks, and need for coordination with normal station operations are reduced when having one construction contract to manage.





Design, construction, and construction management will be performed by third parties. Through a federally compliant RFP process, STV was selected as the contractor for design services. The construction contractor and construction manager have not been selected as of grant submittal.

The project is not a continuation of any previous Section 5324 funded scope.

The useful life for the project is 10 years for the boiler and 25 years for the building and structures. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

Amendment 1 - This is a new ALI


1. SCOPE AND COST
NJ TRANSIT is requesting funds in the amount of $16,320,000 Hoboken: Relocate Signals to Terminal Tower . This line item funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3 and are not funded by insurance.

Funding for this standalone resiliency line item is from Tier 2. The total cost the project is $16,320,000. The total funding provided in this line item is $16,320,000

This project includes design and construction for the replacement and relocation of existing signal equipment at Hoboken Terminal. There are 24 existing wayside cases that contain control relays, track circuit equipment, transformers, and power equipment. This equipment will be replaced with new equipment. This project includes installing the new equipment at higher elevations to afford it better protection from potential surge waters. However, there is not enough room in the cases to install all of the equipment at higher elevations. It is also not feasible to move the transformers and power equipment to other locations as they need to be located near the tracks. In order to increase the elevations of the new control relays and track circuit equipment, they will be installed on the third floor of the site’s Terminal Tower. By doing this, sufficient space will be created within the cases to allow the new transformers and power equipment to be installed approximately four feet higher than the existing equipment. New conduit and cable will also be installed from Terminal Tower to the wayside cases in order to provide the necessary equipment interface. Existing equipment that is being replaced will be stored for future use

A third party contractor will be used. Through a federally compliant RFP process, Allied Resources Staffing Solutions, Inc. has been selected as the Construction Manager.

No contracts or in-house work were included in Sandy Grant 1, NJ-44-X001 for this line item.

The useful life for the project is 25 Years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

Amendment 1 - This is a new ALI


1. SCOPE AND COST
NJ TRANSIT is requesting funds in the amount of $17,915,000 for the MMC/ ROC Building Flood Control project. This line item funds expenses that were not eligible under categories
1, 2, and 3 and are not funded by insurance. FTA funding for this standalone resiliency line item is from Tier 2. The total cost the project is $17,915,000. The total funding provided in this line item is $17,915,000.

Funding for this line item supports design and installation of systems and devices to prevent or reduce flooding from entering the Meadows Maintenance Facility (MMC), which consists of multiple buildings, and the Rail Operations Center (ROC), along the buildings` perimeters. Specifically, vulnerabilities in the foundation system and at openings within the building envelope, including openings for rolling stock will be targeted, as well as ancillary systems such as HVAC. Doors and other openings in the building envelope subject to flooding will be protected to prevent or reduce water infiltration in case of flooding. Flood mitigation equipment/doors will be installed at currently unprotected access doors. High volume pumps and deployable pumps (approximately 10 and 20 respectively; exact number is to be determined during design) will be installed to protect these key areas so that the specialized equipment and controls remain dry during a repeat storm and water can be pumped out rapidly afterwards if necessary. These resiliency improvements will protect the ROC and the MMC facilities during repeat storms so that they can continue to operate normally or to allow the rapid resumption of services once a storm is past. Costs include design, project administration, construction, the purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and any other related costs required to complete the scope.

Through a federally compliant RFP process, NJ TRANSIT selected Jacobs as the design contractor. The construction contractor and construction management services have not been selected as of grant submittal.

Some contracts and in-house work for this project were included in Sandy Grant 1, NJ-44-X001 for the MMC. Details are listed in Grants.gov application. This line item represents work beyond that in the previous grant and is not a duplication of effort. The Work in Grant 1 consisted of minimal/temporary repairs necessary to render operational those systems that had been damaged by Superstorm Sandy, such as cleaning of drain systems and by repairing or replacing MMC equipment. The work under this project is intended to make the facility resilient.


The useful life of the project`s major components is 15 - 25 years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

Hoboken Terminal House Power Repair Project

1. SCOPE AND COST
Funds in the amount of $24,058,978 ($12,888,954-Recovery/Restoration Funds/$11,170,024-Integrated Resiliency Funds) support the Hoboken Terminal House Power Repair project to repair/replace assets damaged during Superstorm Sandy. Funds will be matched with $2,405,898 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits).

This ALI funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3. The resiliency component is fundamentally associated with or a part of a recovery project. The total cost of the project is $24,058,978. The total funding provided in this ALI is $24,058,978.

Funding for this ALI supports the Hoboken Terminal House Power Supply located in the Immigrant Building at the Southeast area of the Hoboken Terminal. Costs include design, project administration, construction, the purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and any other related costs required to complete the scope.

This project involves the design and construction for the repair and replacement of the Hoboken Terminal House Power Supply (a.k.a. `Depot Substation`) including switch gear, transformers and associated relays, circuit breakers, power cables, electrical system components, and ancillary equipment. To improve the resiliency of the substation, it will be relocated above design flood elevation to the second floor of the Pullman & Immigrant building (a.k.a. `Immigrant` building), which is adjacent to the existing substation. The utility metering and isolation switch for the 13.2kV feed from Observer Highway will also be re-located to the second floor of the Immigrant building. The Immigrant building will be upgraded to meet structural requirements for the substation and all modifications will comply with SHPO requirements.

The Substation provides power to the Hoboken Terminal at 480V. The projected load is 1900kVA, the substation is double ended and utilizes 3000/3990(AA/FA) kVA transformers, and 4000amp main bus, main circuit breakers and bus tie breakers.

The justification for the request is the Hoboken Terminal House substation provides house power for Hoboken Terminal which services all NJ TRANSIT commuter rail lines operating from Hoboken, and was damaged by Superstorm Sandy. Replacement of the substation in a resilient manner in-place and in-kind is not feasible. The facility is located in the eastern portion of Hoboken Yard which is in a coastal floodplain designated Zone AE for which the 100-year storm BFE is 12 ft. NAVD 88. The facility is to be relocated to the second floor of the adjacent Pullman Immigrant building (16.08` NAVD 88), above the Design Flood Elevation of 14.5 feet at this site.

Design and construction are performed by a third party. Through a federally compliant RFP process, NJ TRANSIT selected Gannett Fleming as the contractor for design. The construction contractor and construction management contractor have not been selected as of grant submittal.

The project is not a continuation of any previous Section 5324 funded scope.

The useful life for the project is 30 years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

2. RECOVERY AND RESILIENCY
The total cost of this project is $24,058,978 ($12,888,954-Recovery/Restoration Funds/$11,170,024-Integrated Resiliency Funds). The methodology for the cost split between recovery and integrated resiliency is based on an estimate of resiliency components.

The resiliency component is fundamentally associated with or a part of a recovery project.

The resiliency components for this restoration project include raising components at a higher elevation and using inherently more resilient components. The estimated cost associated with the resiliency is $11,170,024.

A cost estimate of the major cost components including substation replacement, structural repairs and SHPO related costs is attached in TEAM (Hoboken Terminal House Power Cost Estimate).

EMERGENCY RELIEF FUNDING CATEGORY

Amendment 2 - This is a new ALI

Bay Head

1. SCOPE AND COST
Funds in the amount of $23,700,000 ($23,700,000-Recovery/Restoration) support the Bay Head Yard Substation Repair project to repair/replace assets damaged by Superstorm Sandy. This ALI funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3. The total cost of the project is $23,700,000. The $23,700,000 includes $700,000 that is transferred from 123-00-12.34.03 Rehab/Renov. Terminal/Intermodal - Weehawken Ferry Repairs.

Funds in the amount of $23,000,000 will be matched with $2,300,000 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits). The $700,000 that is being transferred into this ALI is from a previously awarded ALI and was matched with Transportation Development Credit in grant NJ-44-X003-00.

Funding for this ALI supports the Bay Head Substation project. The existing Bay
Head Substations are located on opposite sides of the parking and assembly area at the east side of Bay Head Yard, adjacent to the crew quarters and administrative facility building. They are approximately 1,000 ft. south of Osborne Avenue, at the end of Twilight Road, in the town of Bay Head NJ. Costs include design, project administration, construction, the purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and any other related costs required to complete the scope.

This project involves the design and construction of a replacement Bay Head Yard Substation including switch-gear, transformers and all other associated power cable, devices, and controls. The Bay Head substation will be constructed on site. It is a brick façade over concrete masonry units, with concrete floors/foundations and steel deck/membrane roofing. The substation building is approximately 123’-2” long (includes 74’-8” long building + 48’-6” transformer enclosure) x 36’-2” wide x 26’-10” tall. The adjacent generator building is 37’-9” long x 18’-9” wide x 26’-10” tall. Substation building area is approximately 2,700 sq. ft.; Transformer area is approximately 1,380 sq. ft.; and Generator building area is approximately 710 sq. ft. This is subject to change as design finalizes and construction commences. It is solely for housing substation equipment and electrical distribution systems.

The replacement project will combine the functions of both existing substations into a single new substation. A redundant utility service feeder for the new substation will also be included. The Substation will be elevated to Design Flood Elevation or above, and utilize components designed to better withstand contact with salt water where elements cannot be raised, in a manner consistent with codes and standards.

The new substation will have two outdoor liquid filled 3750/4200 kVA transformers. The substation transformers will feed a 13.2kV switchgear line-up inside the new substation building which will power two wayside power unit substations and two building transformers for normal building house power supply. A new 800kW, 480Y/277V standby diesel generator system will be installed to supply standby building house power to replace the emergency generator damaged in Superstorm Sandy.

The justification for the request is Bay Head Yard Substation provides power for all Yard maintenance and operating facilities at Bay Head. The existing substations were damaged by Superstorm Sandy. One of the two was rendered inoperable; the other was substantially damaged and is operating in a compromised state. Replacement of the substations in a resilient manner, in-place and in-kind is not feasible. The facility is located in the eastern portion of Bay Head Yard, in a coastal floodplain designated Zone AE for which the 100-year storm BFE is 10 ft. NAVD 88. The facility is to be raised to a Design Flood Elevation of 12.5 ft. The existing substations will be demolished and disposed as part of the construction contract.

A third party contractor will be used. Through a federally compliant RFP process, Gannett Fleming was selected as the contractor for design services. The construction contractor and construction manager have not been selected as of grant submittal.

The project is not a continuation of any previous Section 5324 funded scope.

The useful life for the project is 25 years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

Amendment 2 - This is a new ALI

Henderson St. Substation

1. SCOPE AND COST
Funds in the amount of $21,300,000 (Recovery/Restoration) support the Henderson St. Substation Repair project to repair/replace assets damaged by Superstorm Sandy. This ALI funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3. The total cost of the project is $21,300,000. Funds will be matched with $2,130,000 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits).
.
Funding in this ALI supports the Henderson Street Substation project that is located at the Hoboken Rail Terminal at the southeastern corner of the city of Hoboken along the Hudson River. Costs include design, project administration, construction, the purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and any other related costs required to complete the scope.

This project involves the design and construction of the replacement Henderson Street Substation in Hoboken, including switch-gear, transformers and all other associated power cable, devices, and controls. The replacement substation will be located at the site of the existing Hoboken Yard Boiler Building (boiler is decommissioned). Backup power will be included in the new facility. This work includes demolition of, the existing boiler building. New utility service feeders will be included in the replacement substation. The Substation will be elevated to Design Flood Elevation or above, and utilize components designed to better withstand contact with salt water where elements cannot be raised, in a manner consistent with codes and standards.

The new substation will consist of 13.2kV switchgear, with a new 1200 amp main-double tie-main bus/ circuit breaker configuration. Three emergency generators are included in the new substation.

The justification for Henderson Street Substation project: Henderson is a medium voltage substation that provides power for various facilities throughout Hoboken Yard and Terminal (other than Traction power). The existing substation was damaged by Superstorm Sandy and is operating in a compromised state. Replacement of the substation in a resilient manner in-place and in-kind is not feasible. In addition, emergency back-up power to Henderson St. Substation was damaged. An explanation for the addition of three emergency generators for replacement back-up power is attached in TEAM.

The facility is currently located in the western portion of Hoboken Yard which is in a coastal floodplain designated Zone AE for which the 100-year storm BFE is 11 ft. NAVD 88. The new facility will be located within the existing Hoboken Yard Boiler Building at or above a Design Flood elevation of 13.5 ft.


A third party contractor will be used. Through a federally compliant RFP process, Gannett Fleming was selected as the contractor for design services. The construction contractor and construction manager have not been selected as of grant submittal.

The project is not a continuation of any previous Section 5324 funded scope.

The useful life for the project is 25 years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

Amendment 2 - This is a new ALI

ROC Unit Substation

1. SCOPE AND COST
Funds in the amount of $6,610,045 (LPR funds) support the Rail Operations Center (ROC) Unit Substation Project.

The $6,610,045 includes funds in the amount of $1,250,000 transferred from 124-00 – 12.42.11 – Purchase Rail Support Vehicles – Fuel Trucks (LPR). It also includes funds in the amount of $2,300,000 transferred from 126-00– 12.64.02 – Rehab Communication Systems - Interoperable Communications (LPR). A total of $3,550,000 is being transferred into this ALI. The remaining funds in the amount of $3,060,045 are matched with $306,005 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits). The $3,550,000 was matched with Transportation Development Credits in NJ-44-X003.

This ALI funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3 and are not funded by insurance. This project is a Locally Prioritized Resiliency project. The total project cost is $6,610,045. The total funding provided in this ALI is $6,610,045.

Funding for this ALI supports the Rail Operations Center (ROC) Unit Substation, located at the Meadows Maintenance Complex site in Kearny, NJ. Costs include project administration, construction, the purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and any other related costs required to complete the scope.

The justification for this request is the Rail Operations Center (ROC) monitors and controls all train movements throughout the system, and as such the facility requires reliable power at all times. The existing substation and emergency generator are susceptible to flooding. During Sandy, the water level reached just above the concrete pad of the equipment. Electrical components were not damaged, however to make the substation more resilient to future weather events it will be replaced with a new substation installed indoors at a higher elevation in its own dedicated building. The indoor location will provide a controlled environment to allow safe and expeditious maintenance, restoration of power and repairs in all-weather conditions and at any time of day.

The substation building is approximately 93’-0” long x 20’-0” wide x 23’-3” tall. The substation building area is approximately 1,860 sq. ft. This is subject to change as design finalizes and construction commences. The building is for housing substation equipment and electrical distribution systems. It is insulated precast concrete panels, similar to the existing MMC/ROC construction; with concrete floors/foundations and steel deck/membrane roofing. The building will be constructed on site. The substation design does utilize factory fabricated precast panel walls, but they will be erected and set in place on site on a cast-in-place foundation.

Construction service and construction management services are performed by a third party and will be selected through a federally compliant RFP process. The construction contractor and construction management contractor have not been selected as of grant submittal.

The project is not a continuation of any previous Section 5324 funded scope.

The useful life for the project is 30 years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

Comment	Conditions of Award for FTA’s Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program Grants The Recipient agrees that the following Conditions of Award apply to grants for projects funded under the Second Allocation of the Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program (Emergency Relief Program). These Conditions of Award supersede any conflicting provisions of this Grant Agreement and applicable Master Agreement, unless FTA determines otherwise in writing: 1. This award is authorized by 49 U.S.C. § 5324, which established FTA’s Emergency Relief Program with funding made available under the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013, Public Law 113-2, January 29, 2013, which provides funding for transit systems affected by Hurricane Sandy. This grant supports the following projects described in FTA’s Federal Register Notice “Second Allocation of Public Transportation Emergency Relief Funds in Response to Hurricane Sandy: Response, Recovery & Resiliency” 78 FR 32296, May 29, 2013, and the subsequent correction notice published on June 4, 2013, 78 FR 33467: a. Recovery and Rebuilding Projects in response to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, and b. Local Priority Resiliency Projects. 2. FTA Notice. The Recipient agrees to follow FTA’s Federal Register Notice “Second Allocation of Public Transportation Emergency Relief Funds in Response to Hurricane Sandy: Response, Recovery & Resiliency” 78 FR 32296, May 29, 2013, and the subsequent correction notice published on June 4, 2013, 78 FR 33467; Federal Register Notice, February 6, 2013, pertaining to the Emergency Relief Program Grants, and any later revision of the FTA Notice; any future FTA notices of Emergency Relief Program funding availability; and FTA’s Emergency Relief Program Final Rule, except as FTA determines otherwise in writing. 3. Eligible Projects – Limitations. Funding under this Grant Agreement may be used only for projects determined eligible for funding under FTA’s Emergency Relief Program, and may not be used for projects determined ineligible. 4. Federal Share. The specific Federal share for this Project is identified on this Grant Agreement. As the Recipient may request, the Federal share may be up to Ninety (90) percent of the net project cost. 5. Federal Emergency Management Agency Funding Assistance. If the Recipient receives Federal funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act for any portion of a project activity approved for FTA funding under this Grant Agreement, the Recipient agrees to: a. Provide written notification to FTA, and b. Reimburse FTA for any Federal share that duplicates funding provided by FEMA. 6. Insurance. a. If a Recipient, a Recipient’s third party contractor, or a Recipient’s third party subcontractor receives insurance proceeds for any portion of a project activity prior to the receipt of FTA Emergency Relief funds, then the Recipient shall provide written notification to the FTA and reduce its request for FTA Emergency Relief funds by the amount of insurance proceeds allocated for the project activity, b. If the Recipient, a Recipient’s contractor, or a Recipient’s subcontractor receives insurance proceeds for any portion of a project activity after FTA obligates funding under this Grant Agreement, then the Recipient shall: (1) Provide written notification to FTA in a timely manner, and (2) If applicable, reimburse FTA for any Federal share that duplicates funding provided through insurance proceeds, c. If the Recipient, a Recipient’s third party contractor, or a Recipient’s third party subcontractor receives insurance proceeds that are allocated based on damage to specific assets, the provisions of FTA’s Circular 5010.1D will apply, d. If the Recipient receives insurance proceeds that are unallocated to any project activities, FTA and the Recipient will agree to an amount of insurance proceeds to be allocated to transit recovery and to reduce the Federal share for this project accordingly. The Recipient agrees to allocate those amounts by one of the following options: (1) Reduce FTA participation proportionally for all projects (based on the ratio of transit-allocated insurance to total transit damages), (2) Apply proceeds to individual projects that are eligible for FTA funds, or (3) Apply proceeds to projects on a first-come, first served basis after the allocation is determined, e. The Recipient agrees to submit monthly Insurance Proceeds Reports (IPR) to FTA, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each calendar month, which include, at a minimum, the following information: (1) The insurance policies that cover the Recipient for any damage sustained by Hurricane Sandy, (2) Each insurance claim that the Recipient submitted in connection with damage sustained by Hurricane Sandy, for capital and operating costs, from October 29, 2012, through the date of the IPR, (3) The status of each insurance claim that the Recipient submitted in connection with damage sustained by Hurricane Sandy from October 29, 2012, through the date of the IPR, (4) The total amount of insurance proceeds that the Recipient received in connection with damage sustained by Hurricane Sandy, for capital and operating costs, from October 29, 2012, through the date of the IPR, (5) The status of the Recipient’s allocation of any insurance proceeds from October 29, 2012, through the date of the IPR, (6) If the Recipient allocated insurance proceeds, then the Recipient shall identify whether it allocated insurance proceeds towards an FTA funded project activity or a non-FTA funded project activity, and (7) If the Recipient allocated insurance proceeds towards an FTA funded project activity, then the Recipient shall identify that project activity by Project Number and Activity Line Item, and the Recipient shall identify the status of any grant action taken to adjust the Federal share, accordingly. 7. Useful Life. a. As authorized by 49 U.S.C. § 5324(d)(1) and FTA Circular 5010.1D, FTA’s useful life requirements do not apply to any assets that were destroyed or seriously damaged as a result of Hurricane Sandy and were taken out of service prior to the end of their useful lives, and b. If the Recipient receives insurance proceeds for an asset and does not replace that asset, then FTA’s useful life requirements apply, and the recipient must reimburse FTA the remaining Federal interest in that asset in accordance with FTA Circular 5010.1D, c. If the Recipient disposes of a previously FTA funded asset that was damaged during Hurricane Sandy and receives more than $5,000 for the asset, the Recipient will promptly notify FTA and reimburse FTA for its proportionate share in accordance with FTA Circular 5010.1D. 8. Expenditure Authority. a. Section 904(c) of the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, requires that grantees receiving funds appropriated under the Act must expend those funds within 24 months of the point of obligation, absent a waiver from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). On July 9, 2013, OMB waived the 24 month expenditure requirement for grantees receiving funds from FTA’s $10,349,300,000 appropriation, therefore the 24 month requirement does not apply to this Grant Agreement, b. The Recipient agrees to expend funds received as expeditiously as possible and to return to FTA any of those Federal funds not expended following the completion of the project activities identified in this Grant Agreement. 9. Oversight Requirements. a. The Recipient agrees to maximize the transparency and accountability of funds authorized under the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013, and in accordance with all applicable Federal regulations, the Recipient agrees to maintain records that identify adequately the source and application of these funds, b. The Recipient understands and agrees that Division A, section 904(b) of the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013, provides that “[A]ll programs and activities receiving funds under this division shall be deemed to be ‘susceptible to significant improper payments’ for purposes of the Improper Payments Information Act of 2002 (31 U.S.C. § 3321 note), notwithstanding section 2(a) of such Act,” and c. The Recipient agrees: (1) To comply with any oversight requirements, and any periodic changes to those requirements, that FTA establishes, (2) To have an Integrity Monitor in place if it has or will receive at least $100 million in funding from the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 and to provide a copy of the integrity monitor implementation plan to FTA prior to drawing down funds, (3) To submit monthly Federal Financial Reports to FTA, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each calendar month, through FTA’s Transportation Electronic Award and Management (TEAM) system, (4) To submit monthly Milestone Progress Reports to FTA, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each calendar month, through FTA’s TEAM system, and (5) That information contained in these reports may be made available to the public. 10. Floodplain Management. a. The Recipient agrees to follow Executive Order 11988, as amended, Floodplain Management, and any other guidance that FTA develops or amends regarding floodplain management, except as FTA determines otherwise in writing, b. The Recipient agrees that it will not use FTA funds for any construction activity or any permanent repairs in an area delineated as a “special flood hazard area,” or equivalent, as labeled in FEMA’s most recent and current data source, unless, prior to seeking FTA funds for such action, the Recipient designs or modifies its actions in manner that minimizes potential harm to or within the floodplain, c. The Recipient agrees that it will use the “best available information” as identified by FEMA, which includes advisory data such as Advisory Base Flood Elevations (ABFE), preliminary and final Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), and Flood Insurance Studies, d. If FTA and the Recipient determine that FEMA data is unavailable or insufficiently detailed, then other Federal, State, or local data may be used as the “best available information,” and e. If an FTA funded project activity is located in a floodplain, then the “best available information” requires a minimum baseline standard for elevation of no less than that found in FEMA’s ABFEs, where available, plus one foot (ABFE+1), or if that is not available, then a minimum baseline standard for elevation of no less than FIRM plus one foot (FIRM+1). 11. Record Retention. The Recipient agrees to maintain records, including but not limited to all invoices, contracts, time sheets, and other evidence of expenses, which support and validate its funding requests. 12. Integrity. The Recipient agrees that all data that it submits to FTA in connection with this Grant Award will be accurate, objective, and of the highest integrity. 13. Outside Agreements. The Recipient agrees to expeditiously develop and execute any outside agreements, including any inter-agency agreements or any other third party agreements, that are necessary to the completion of any project activities. 14. One-Time Funding. The Recipient acknowledges that receipt of funds through this Grant Agreement is a one-time disbursement that does not create any future obligation by FTA to advance similar funding amounts. 15. Violations of Law. The Recipient agrees that it and each of its subrecipients must report to the United States Department of Transportation Inspector General and any 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, waste, abuse, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct involving funds awarded in this Grant Agreement. 16. Future Requirements. The Recipient agrees to comply with applicable future Federal requirements that may be imposed on the use of funds disbursed through the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013, and FTA’s Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program regulations and guidance.

The following action is requested in this application.

123-01 – RAIL - STATION/STOPS/TERMINALS (Recov)
12.34.03 - Terminal, Intermodal (Transit) (Recov) – Hoboken Boiler

This amendment increases the ALI by $8,420,000 from $4,639,000 to $13,059,000. The Hoboken Boiler project, awarded in a previous amendment, is renamed the Hoboken Boiler and Terminal Repairs project. Funds in the ALI now include repairs to the Hoboken Ferry Terminal. The Hoboken Boiler and Hoboken Terminal repairs are combined into one project since Hoboken Terminal Boiler and the Ferry Ticketing Suite and Employee Facilities occupy or involve the same areas within the terminal. The projects are ready to be constructed within the same timeframe. Combining the two scopes allows for a single contractor to be responsible for scheduling, staging, and coordinating all construction activities in the common work site, and eliminating the potential for conflicts or delays if the work were to be performed by separate contractors.


PERIOD OF PERFMANCE
For the Hoboken Boiler and Terminal project in this amendment, Pre-award authority was exercised in November 2013. The estimated completion date for the project is September 2019.


RESEACH AND DEVELOPMENT
This Application does not include funds for Research and/or Development Activities.



INDIRECT COST RATE
Indirect Costs will be applied to the Hoboken Boiler and Terminal repair project in this application. A Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) is on file with the FTA which is currently under review. NJ TRANSIT is using the provisional rate of 86.53%.



NJ TRANSIT’s procurement procedures are in compliance with all applicable Federal requirements.

NJ TRANSIT will comply with Buy America regulations for the projects in this grant.

A DBE utilization status report is attached in TrAMS and the status of achieving the goals will be updated quarterly.

NJ TRANSIT completed and submitted all applicable FTA templates: Attachment A “FTA Emergency Relief Program - Program of Projects (POP)” – required for all projects, Part B Resiliency Justification Statement – required for locally prioritized resiliency projects, and ), Attachment C “Advisory Base Flood Elevation + 1 (ABFE +1) Analysis Template” – required for all projects, and flood maps – required for all projects.

WAIVER
Projects funded through the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act (DRA) of 2013 are subject to section 904(c) of that Act, which requires expenditure of funds within 24 months of grant obligation, unless this requirement is waived by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). On July 9, 2013, the OMB granted waivers to the 24-month obligation requirement to programs funded under the DRA.

STIP
The project is included in the FY2016-2025 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit administration approved the STIP on November 20, 2015. The STIP ID is T906, NJ TRANSIT System Repairs/Restoration.

On January 27, 2016, FTA approved a STIP modification that transferred funds in T906 from FY15 to FY16.

MATCH/TOLL CREDITS
TOLL CREDIT (Transportation Development Credits).
NJ TRANSIT is using Toll Credit (Transportation Development Credits) funds allocated from the NJ Department of Transportation in the amount of $100 million for each year between 2006 through 2015 to match Federal Grants. NJDOT sent letters to NJ TRANSIT allocating the $100 million in Toll Credit for each year for 2006 through 2014 on February 23, 2006, December 19, 2006, March 12, 2008, November 12, 2008, April 26, 2010, March 28, 2011, July 18, 2012, March 5, 2013, and January 14, 2014. On August 7, 2014, NJ TRANSIT was allocated an additional $60.0 million bringing the total allocation for FY14 to $160.0 million. On March 10, 2015, NJ TRANSIT was allocated $160 million in Toll Credit to match federal grants. Prior year toll credit balances are reviewed at the FTA quarterly review meetings.


FEMA
NJ Transit has neither applied for nor received Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) funds for the projects in this or other grant requests.

INSURANCE
NJ TRANSIT has submitted to its insurers for specific Sandy-related all-agency property damage, revenue loss and extra expense claims in a manner that seeks to maximize the recovery of proceeds consistent with policy terms and limits. To date, NJ TRANSIT has received unallocated payments from its insurers totaling $100 million. NJ TRANSIT will work with FTA to agree to an amount to be allocated for transit recovery and the method NJ TRANSIT will use to allocate said funds to eligible recovery projects. NJ TRANSIT will comply with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 as amended and insure buildings and/or their contents funded under this grant that are within a special flood hazard area.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Special Conditions

Comment By	Michael Culotta
Comment Type	Special Conditions
Date	6/3/2016
Comment	Conditions of Award for FTA’s Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program Grants The Recipient agrees that the following Conditions of Award apply to grants for projects funded under the Second Allocation of the Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program (Emergency Relief Program). These Conditions of Award supersede any conflicting provisions of this Grant Agreement and applicable Master Agreement, unless FTA determines otherwise in writing: 1. This award is authorized by 49 U.S.C. § 5324, which established FTA’s Emergency Relief Program with funding made available under the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013, Public Law 113-2, January 29, 2013, which provides funding for transit systems affected by Hurricane Sandy. This grant supports the following projects described in FTA’s Federal Register Notice “Second Allocation of Public Transportation Emergency Relief Funds in Response to Hurricane Sandy: Response, Recovery & Resiliency” 78 FR 32296, May 29, 2013, and the subsequent correction notice published on June 4, 2013, 78 FR 33467: a. Recovery and Rebuilding Projects in response to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, and b. Local Priority Resiliency Projects. 2. FTA Notice. The Recipient agrees to follow FTA’s Federal Register Notice “Second Allocation of Public Transportation Emergency Relief Funds in Response to Hurricane Sandy: Response, Recovery & Resiliency” 78 FR 32296, May 29, 2013, and the subsequent correction notice published on June 4, 2013, 78 FR 33467; Federal Register Notice, February 6, 2013, pertaining to the Emergency Relief Program Grants, and any later revision of the FTA Notice; any future FTA notices of Emergency Relief Program funding availability; and FTA’s Emergency Relief Program Final Rule, except as FTA determines otherwise in writing. 3. Eligible Projects – Limitations. Funding under this Grant Agreement may be used only for projects determined eligible for funding under FTA’s Emergency Relief Program, and may not be used for projects determined ineligible. 4. Federal Share. The specific Federal share for this Project is identified on this Grant Agreement. As the Recipient may request, the Federal share may be up to Ninety (90) percent of the net project cost. 5. Federal Emergency Management Agency Funding Assistance. If the Recipient receives Federal funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act for any portion of a project activity approved for FTA funding under this Grant Agreement, the Recipient agrees to: a. Provide written notification to FTA, and b. Reimburse FTA for any Federal share that duplicates funding provided by FEMA. 6. Insurance. a. If a Recipient, a Recipient’s third party contractor, or a Recipient’s third party subcontractor receives insurance proceeds for any portion of a project activity prior to the receipt of FTA Emergency Relief funds, then the Recipient shall provide written notification to the FTA and reduce its request for FTA Emergency Relief funds by the amount of insurance proceeds allocated for the project activity, b. If the Recipient, a Recipient’s contractor, or a Recipient’s subcontractor receives insurance proceeds for any portion of a project activity after FTA obligates funding under this Grant Agreement, then the Recipient shall: (1) Provide written notification to FTA in a timely manner, and (2) If applicable, reimburse FTA for any Federal share that duplicates funding provided through insurance proceeds, c. If the Recipient, a Recipient’s third party contractor, or a Recipient’s third party subcontractor receives insurance proceeds that are allocated based on damage to specific assets, the provisions of FTA’s Circular 5010.1D will apply, d. If the Recipient receives insurance proceeds that are unallocated to any project activities, FTA and the Recipient will agree to an amount of insurance proceeds to be allocated to transit recovery and to reduce the Federal share for this project accordingly. The Recipient agrees to allocate those amounts by one of the following options: (1) Reduce FTA participation proportionally for all projects (based on the ratio of transit-allocated insurance to total transit damages), (2) Apply proceeds to individual projects that are eligible for FTA funds, or (3) Apply proceeds to projects on a first-come, first served basis after the allocation is determined, e. The Recipient agrees to submit monthly Insurance Proceeds Reports (IPR) to FTA, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each calendar month, which include, at a minimum, the following information: (1) The insurance policies that cover the Recipient for any damage sustained by Hurricane Sandy, (2) Each insurance claim that the Recipient submitted in connection with damage sustained by Hurricane Sandy, for capital and operating costs, from October 29, 2012, through the date of the IPR, (3) The status of each insurance claim that the Recipient submitted in connection with damage sustained by Hurricane Sandy from October 29, 2012, through the date of the IPR, (4) The total amount of insurance proceeds that the Recipient received in connection with damage sustained by Hurricane Sandy, for capital and operating costs, from October 29, 2012, through the date of the IPR, (5) The status of the Recipient’s allocation of any insurance proceeds from October 29, 2012, through the date of the IPR, (6) If the Recipient allocated insurance proceeds, then the Recipient shall identify whether it allocated insurance proceeds towards an FTA funded project activity or a non-FTA funded project activity, and (7) If the Recipient allocated insurance proceeds towards an FTA funded project activity, then the Recipient shall identify that project activity by Project Number and Activity Line Item, and the Recipient shall identify the status of any grant action taken to adjust the Federal share, accordingly. 7. Useful Life. a. As authorized by 49 U.S.C. § 5324(d)(1) and FTA Circular 5010.1D, FTA’s useful life requirements do not apply to any assets that were destroyed or seriously damaged as a result of Hurricane Sandy and were taken out of service prior to the end of their useful lives, and b. If the Recipient receives insurance proceeds for an asset and does not replace that asset, then FTA’s useful life requirements apply, and the recipient must reimburse FTA the remaining Federal interest in that asset in accordance with FTA Circular 5010.1D, c. If the Recipient disposes of a previously FTA funded asset that was damaged during Hurricane Sandy and receives more than $5,000 for the asset, the Recipient will promptly notify FTA and reimburse FTA for its proportionate share in accordance with FTA Circular 5010.1D. 8. Expenditure Authority. a. Section 904(c) of the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, requires that grantees receiving funds appropriated under the Act must expend those funds within 24 months of the point of obligation, absent a waiver from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). On July 9, 2013, OMB waived the 24 month expenditure requirement for grantees receiving funds from FTA’s $10,349,300,000 appropriation, therefore the 24 month requirement does not apply to this Grant Agreement, b. The Recipient agrees to expend funds received as expeditiously as possible and to return to FTA any of those Federal funds not expended following the completion of the project activities identified in this Grant Agreement. 9. Oversight Requirements. a. The Recipient agrees to maximize the transparency and accountability of funds authorized under the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013, and in accordance with all applicable Federal regulations, the Recipient agrees to maintain records that identify adequately the source and application of these funds, b. The Recipient understands and agrees that Division A, section 904(b) of the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013, provides that “[A]ll programs and activities receiving funds under this division shall be deemed to be ‘susceptible to significant improper payments’ for purposes of the Improper Payments Information Act of 2002 (31 U.S.C. § 3321 note), notwithstanding section 2(a) of such Act,” and c. The Recipient agrees: (1) To comply with any oversight requirements, and any periodic changes to those requirements, that FTA establishes, (2) To have an Integrity Monitor in place if it has or will receive at least $100 million in funding from the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 and to provide a copy of the integrity monitor implementation plan to FTA prior to drawing down funds, (3) To submit monthly Federal Financial Reports to FTA, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each calendar month, through FTA’s Transportation Electronic Award and Management (TEAM) system, (4) To submit monthly Milestone Progress Reports to FTA, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each calendar month, through FTA’s TEAM system, and (5) That information contained in these reports may be made available to the public. 10. Floodplain Management. a. The Recipient agrees to follow Executive Order 11988, as amended, Floodplain Management, and any other guidance that FTA develops or amends regarding floodplain management, except as FTA determines otherwise in writing, b. The Recipient agrees that it will not use FTA funds for any construction activity or any permanent repairs in an area delineated as a “special flood hazard area,” or equivalent, as labeled in FEMA’s most recent and current data source, unless, prior to seeking FTA funds for such action, the Recipient designs or modifies its actions in manner that minimizes potential harm to or within the floodplain, c. The Recipient agrees that it will use the “best available information” as identified by FEMA, which includes advisory data such as Advisory Base Flood Elevations (ABFE), preliminary and final Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), and Flood Insurance Studies, d. If FTA and the Recipient determine that FEMA data is unavailable or insufficiently detailed, then other Federal, State, or local data may be used as the “best available information,” and e. If an FTA funded project activity is located in a floodplain, then the “best available information” requires a minimum baseline standard for elevation of no less than that found in FEMA’s ABFEs, where available, plus one foot (ABFE+1), or if that is not available, then a minimum baseline standard for elevation of no less than FIRM plus one foot (FIRM+1). 11. Record Retention. The Recipient agrees to maintain records, including but not limited to all invoices, contracts, time sheets, and other evidence of expenses, which support and validate its funding requests. 12. Integrity. The Recipient agrees that all data that it submits to FTA in connection with this Grant Award will be accurate, objective, and of the highest integrity. 13. Outside Agreements. The Recipient agrees to expeditiously develop and execute any outside agreements, including any inter-agency agreements or any other third party agreements, that are necessary to the completion of any project activities. 14. One-Time Funding. The Recipient acknowledges that receipt of funds through this Grant Agreement is a one-time disbursement that does not create any future obligation by FTA to advance similar funding amounts. 15. Violations of Law. The Recipient agrees that it and each of its subrecipients must report to the United States Department of Transportation Inspector General and any 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, waste, abuse, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct involving funds awarded in this Grant Agreement. 16. Future Requirements. The Recipient agrees to comply with applicable future Federal requirements that may be imposed on the use of funds disbursed through the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013, and FTA’s Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program regulations and guidance.
