FEB 0 1994 JAMES B. HUNT, JR. GOVEP.~OK STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION & PAIL DIVISION P.O. BOX 2520l, RALEIGH, N.C. 27611-5201 January 24, 1994 SAMUEL HUNT 111 SECRETARY Mr. John R. Witherspoon County Manager County of Cabarrus Post Office Box 707 Concord, North Carolina 28025 Dear Mr. Witherspoon: Re: FTA Section 18 Program Standing Agreement In an effort to streamline the contracting process for funds awarded under the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 18 program which are administered by the Public Transportation and Rail Division, the division is issuing a one-time standing agreement. You will notice that the usual references to project number and work order number have been removed from the top right corner of the standing agreement. This is because this document is to be valid for an extended period of time, beyond the life of any one project or work 6rder. Although you will still go through the application process each year, you will no longer receive contracts on an annual basis. The division will forward an approved project budget and invoicing forms following FTA approval of the grant. This document is the major component for establishing the Section 18 recipient as a sub-recipient, and thereby establishing the channels through which the related federal and state funds and responsibilities would flow to them and any subcontractors. The agreement has been reviewed by the department and found to be in accordance with the department's fiscal procedures, North Carolina Administrative Code and Office of Management and Budget Circulars A-87, A-102, and A-128. We have enclosed three (3) originals of the standing agreement to be executed between the County of Cabarrus and the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The chairman is authorized to enter into the agreement on behalf of the county and should sign each copy of the agreement where indicated, have the signature attested, and have the county's seal affixed on the page. DO NOT DATE THE AGREEMENTS; this will be done when they are executed in final form by the department. Attached to each agreement is a copy of the General Purpose Authorizing Resolution. Each resolution should be signed and notarized. We encourage you to have all appropriate individuals involved in the administration of the Section 18 Program to familiarize themselves with the PHONE (919) 733-4713 FAX (919) 733-1391
