<br /> The City of Durham will offer to provide technical assistance for applications and grant
<br /> administration to local groups or organizations that plan to provide transportation services to
<br /> seniors and persons with disabilities. Grant applicants should consider some the following factors
<br /> based on specific project type: number of trips,trip purpose, the locations of shopping areas and
<br /> medical facilities, nutrition sites, social services, recreation areas,the estimated number of vehicles
<br /> and sizes needed to fill gaps in service. Data compiled on the existing transportation services
<br /> available in the area will be used and an analysis will be made as to whether or not the existing
<br /> services are insufficient, inadequate or inappropriate to meet the need.
<br /> Transfer of..ands
<br /> Transfers of Section 5310 funds to other FTA programs or sub-recipients are not permitted. Upon
<br /> successful program selection and funds approval by the Durham City Council, the designated

<br /> The City of Durham will require that sub-recipients recommended for federal funding submit all
<br /> project appropriate FTA certifications and assurances as part of the application process and
<br /> annually thereafter. These include, but are not limited to:
<br /> 1. Nondiscrimination Assurances
<br /> 2. Assurance of Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability
<br /> 3. Equal Employment Opportunity Policy
<br /> The City of Durham will not execute any grant contract without having first received these items.
<br /> The City and NCDOT shall exercises an active oversight role with regard to the equipment
<br /> procurement process. The MPO shall require that bidding documents for equipment be in
<br /> compliance with Subpart D, 49 CFR, Part 26.This requirement relates to the purchase of goods
<br /> and/or services from disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE). Sub-recipients are required to
<br /> annually report purchases made from DBE vendors and provide a description of their good faith
<br /> efforts to locate and purchase from DBE vendors.
<br /> The DCHC—MPO will ensure that all fund recipients comply with federal civil rights requirements
<br /> related to the execution of the funded project. The MPO will also ensure that recipients of the
<br /> funds provide equal access and mobility for any person without regard to race, color or national
<br /> origin.
<br /> Consequently, the DCHC would make certain that projects funded by the grant have in place
<br /> adequate measures to meet or exceed federal Title VI assurance and DBE goals, and provide fair,
