Title
Approving a Project Grant Agreement (PGA) with Capital Metro regarding the use of 5307 funds for the Pflugerville Transit Development Program (TDP).
Summary
Initially, the mechanism to secure the 5307 funds from Capital Metro was via an interlocal agreement. At the request of Capital Metro, this Project Grant Agreement is preferred. The PGA provides that the City of Pflugerville is the subrecipient of the grant funds and shall be responsible for the transit development plan in compliance with the requirements of the revised Capital Metro Service Expansion Policy adopted in 2014. The grant term is through December 31, 2015, sufficient time to complete the project, which is estimated to take nine months. The maximum grant payable under the PGA is $103,200. The funds are subject to a Single Audit Report as required based on the total federal funds utilized by the City in a fiscal year.

In addition, Pflugerville will comply with all applicable Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regulations, policies, procedures and directives, as they may be amended or promulgated from time to time during the term of this PGA.
