Infrastructure Investment Program Project Selections

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration (FTA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice; summary of project selections. Grants for Buses and Bus 
Facilities Infrastructure Investment Program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Transit 
Administration (FTA) summarizes the allocation of $366,162,440 to 
projects under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Grants for Buses and Bus 
Facilities Infrastructure Investment Program (Bus Program) and provides 
administrative guidance on award management.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Successful applicants should contact 
the appropriate FTA Regional Office for information regarding applying 
for the funds or program-specific information. A list of Regional 
Offices can be found at www.fta.dot.gov. Unsuccessful applicants may 
contact Mark G. Bathrick, Office of Program Management at (202) 366-
9955, email: Mark.Bathrick @dot.gov, to arrange a proposal debriefing 
within 30 days of this notice. A TDD is available at 1-800-877-8339 
(TDD/FIRS).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The competitive funding allocations 
announced in this notice are authorized by Section 5339(b) of Title 49, 
United States Code. Federal public transportation law at 49 U.S.C. 
5338(a)(2)(M) authorizes $246,514,000 million for competitive 
allocations in FY 2018. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 
appropriated an additional $161,446,000 for the Bus Program for FY 
2018. After the statutory set aside for oversight, $366,293,150 was 
available for competitive grants under the Bus Program.
    On June 21, 2018, FTA published a Notice of Funding Opportunity 
(NOFO) announcing the availability of $366,293,150 in competitive 
funding under the Bus Program. These funds will provide financial 
assistance to states and eligible public agencies to replace, 
rehabilitate, purchase, or lease

[[Page 8394]]

buses, vans, and related equipment, and capital projects to 
rehabilitate, purchase, construct, or lease bus-related facilities. In 
response to the NOFO, FTA received 339 project proposals from 51 States 
and territories requesting approximately $2 billion in Federal funds. 
Project proposals were evaluated based on each applicant's 
responsiveness to the program evaluation criteria outlined in the NOFO.
    Based on the criteria in the NOFO, FTA is funding 107 projects, as 
shown in Table 1, for a total of $366,162,440. Recipients selected for 
competitive funding are required to work with their FTA Regional Office 
to submit a grant application in FTA's Transit Award Management System 
(TrAMs) for the projects identified in the attached table. Grant 
applications must include only eligible activities applied for in the 
original project application. Funds must be used consistent with the 
competitive proposal and for the eligible capital purposes described in 
the NOFO.
    In cases where the allocation amount is less than the proposer's 
total requested amount, recipients are required to fund the scalable 
project option as described in the application. If the award amount 
does not correspond to the scalable option, the recipient should work 
with the Regional Office to reduce scope or scale the project such that 
a complete phase or project is accomplished. Recipients also may 
provide additional local funds to complete a proposed project. A 
discretionary project identification number has been assigned to each 
project for tracking purposes and must be used in the TrAMs 
application.
    Selected projects are eligible to incur costs under pre-award 
authority no earlier than the date projects were publicly announced, 
which was September 25, 2018. Pre-award authority does not guarantee 
that project expenses incurred prior to the award of a grant will be 
eligible for reimbursement, as eligibility for reimbursement is 
contingent upon other requirements, such as planning and environmental 
requirements, having been met. For more about FTA's policy on pre-award 
authority, please see the FTA Fiscal Year 2018 Apportionments, 
Allocations, and Program Information and Interim Guidance found in 83 
FR 33018 (July 16, 2018). Post-award reporting requirements include 
submission of the Federal Financial Report and Milestone progress 
reports in TrAMs (see FTA.C.5010.1E). Recipients must comply with all 
applicable Federal statutes, regulations, executive orders, FTA 
circulars, and other Federal requirements in carrying out the project 
supported by the FTA grant. FTA emphasizes that recipients must follow 
all third-party procurement guidance as authorized by 49 U.S.C. 5325(a) 
and described in FTA.C.4220.1F. Funds allocated in this announcement 
must be obligated in a grant by September 30, 2021.
    Technical Review and Evaluation Summary: FTA assessed all project 
proposals that were submitted under the FY 2018 Bus Program competition 
according to the following evaluation criteria. The specific metrics 
for each criterion were described in the June 21, 2018 NOFO:

1. Demonstration of Need
2. Demonstration of Benefits
3. Planning/Local Prioritization
4. Local Financial Commitment
5. Project Implementation Strategy
6. Technical, Legal, and Financial Capacity

    For each project, a technical review panel assigned a rating of 
Highly Recommended, Recommended, or Not Recommended for each of the six 
criteria. The technical review panel then assigned an overall rating of 
Highly Recommended, Recommended, Not Recommended, or Ineligible to the 
project proposal.
    Projects were assigned a final overall rating of Highly Recommended 
if they were rated Highly Recommended in at least four categories 
overall, with no Not Recommended ratings. Projects were assigned a 
final overall rating of Recommended if the project had three or more 
Recommended ratings and no Not Recommended ratings. Projects were 
assigned a rating of Not Recommended if they received a Not Recommended 
rating in any category. A summary of the overall scores is shown in the 
table below.
    Overall Project Ratings (eligible submissions):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Highly Recommended...........................................        201
Recommended..................................................         74
Not Recommended..............................................         64
                                                              ----------
  Total......................................................        339
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As outlined in the NOFO, FTA made the final selections based on the 
technical ratings as well geographic diversity, Departmental 
objectives, and/or receipt of other recent competitive awards. As 
further outlined in the NOFO, in some cases, due to funding 
limitations, proposers that were selected for funding received less 
than the amount originally requested.
