4. USE OF FUNDS
4.1 GRANTEE shall utilize the Funds to complete the Project as described in the Scope of Work and in accordance with the Reporting and Expenditure Guidelines, the specifications for use for the transportation purposes described in the Ordinance, the Guidelines and the Multi-Year Subregional Programs Administrative Procedures.
4.2 Attachment C shall constitute the agreed upon Scope of Work between LACMTA and GRANTEE for the Project. The Funds, as granted under this FA, can only be used towards the completion of the Scope of Work detailed in Attachment C.
4.3 GRANTEE shall not use the Funds to substitute for any other funds or projects not specified in this FA. Further, GRANTEE shall not use the Funds for any expenses or activities above and beyond the approved Scope of Work (Attachment C) without an amendment to the FA approved and signed by the LACMTA Chief Executive Officer or his Designee. To the extent LACMTA provides GRANTEE with bond or commercial paper proceeds, such Funds may not be used to reimburse for any costs that jeopardize the tax exempt nature of such financings as reasonably determined by LACMTA and its bond counsel.
4.4 GRANTEE must use the Funds in the most cost-effective manner. If GRANTEE intends to use a consultant or contractor to implement all or part of the Project, LACMTA requires that such activities be procured in accordance with GRANTEE’s contracting procedures and consistent with State law as appropriate. GRANTEE will also use the Funds in the most cost-effective manner when the Funds are used to pay “in-house” staff time. This effective use of funds provision will be verified by LACMTA through on- going Project monitoring and through any LACMTA interim and final audits.
4.5 GRANTEE’S employee, officers, councilmembers, board member, agents, or consultants (a “GRANTEE Party”) are prohibited from participating in the selection, award, or administration of a third-party contract or sub-agreement supported by the Funds if a real or apparent conflict of interest would be involved. A conflict of interest would include, without limitation, an organizational conflict of interest or when any of the following parties has a financial or other interest in any entity selected for award: (a) a GRANTEE Party (b) any member of a GRANTEE Party’s immediate family, (c) a partner of a GRANTEE Party; (d) any organization that employs or intends to employ any of the above. This conflict of interest provision will be verified by LACMTA through on-going Project monitoring and through any LACMTA interim and final audits.
4.6 If a facility, equipment (such as computer hardware or software), vehicle or property, purchased or leased using the Funds, ceases to be used for the proper use as originally stated in the Scope of Work, or the Project is discontinued, any Funds expended for that purpose must be returned to LACMTA as follows: GRANTEE shall be required to repay the Funds in proportion to the useful life remaining and in an equal proportion of the grant to GRANTEE Funding Commitment ratio.
ATTACHMENT 3-7
4.7 If the Project requires the implementation of an Intelligent Transportation Systems (“ITS”) project, GRANTEE shall ensure the Project is consistent with the Regional ITS Architecture. Attachment F, the Los Angeles County Regional ITS Architecture (CONNECT-IT) Consistency Self-Certification Form, must be completed and signed for planned ITS projects and/or ITS projects that use local, state, or federal funds programmed or administered through LACMTA. Refer to www.laconnect-it.com to find information about the CONNECT-IT Service Packages.
4.8 If any parking facilities are designed and/or constructed using the Funds, GRANTEE shall coordinate with LACMTA parking program staff (see www.metro.net for staff listing) in the planning, design and management of the facility and shall ensure that its implementation is consistent with the LACMTA adopted parking policy.

LACMTA Project Manager shall review and respond in writing to the draft Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt. Grantee shall submit the LACMTA pre-approved Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report no later than five (5) days after receipt of LACMTA’s written approval. Should GRANTEE fail to submit either the draft or pre-approved reports within five (5) days of the due date and/or submit incomplete reports, LACMTA will not reimburse GRANTEE until the completed required reports are received, reviewed, and approved.

Findings of the LACMTA audit are final. When LACMTA audit findings require GRANTEE to return monies to LACMTA, GRANTEE agrees to return the monies within thirty (30) days after the final audit is sent to GRANTEE.
6.4 GRANTEE’s records shall include, without limitation, accounting records, written policies and procedures, contract files, original estimates, correspondence, change order files (including documentation covering negotiated settlements), invoices, and any other supporting evidence deemed necessary by LACMTA to substantiate charges related to the Project (all collectively referred to as “records”).

SCOPE OF WORK
CAPITAL PROJECT
PROJECT NAME: BurbankBus State of Good Repair – Bus Replacement
PROJECT LOCATION/LIMITS/AREA:
The project is located within the BurbankBus service area, which covers the City of Burbank and parts of City of Los Angeles that border Burbank city boundaries.
The project limits are within the three local BurbankBus routes. BurbankBus connects the Media District and Hollywood Burbank (Bob Hope) Airport areas within the City to regional transportation hubs, including the Los Angeles Metro North Hollywood (NoHo) Red Line and Orange Line Station, the Los Angeles Metro Universal City/Studio City Station, and the Downtown Burbank Metrolink Station.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION INCLUDING MULTI-YEAR SUBREGIONAL PROGRAM AND PROJECT NEXUS:
This project is proposed to replace three 35-foot CNG buses that were purchased in 2009 for BurbankBus fixed-route operations. All three vehicles are approaching their useful life cycle of 14 years, per Federal Transit Administration guidelines. Burbank will operate the three replacement buses throughout the BurbankBus transit system on routes that provide easy access to employment hubs and convenient connections to local amenities and regional transportation services. In order to ensure continued quality essential transit service to its patrons and to maintain connectivity to regional transit systems such as Metro rail and bus, Metrolink, Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), Glendale Bee Line, and Santa Clarita Transit bus services, the City needs to continually replace aging vehicles in the fleet as they reach their useful life cycle.
The replacement buses would be fueled with low-emission compressed natural gas, have a low-floor configuration to accommodate boardings for persons with disabilities, and will have a rider capacity of 30 passengers. The funds requested are reflective of the current average cost for similar types and sizes of buses.

ATTACHMENT E
BOND REQUIREMENTS
The provisions of this Attachment E apply only if and to the extent some or all of the Funds are derived from LACMTA issued Bonds or other debt, the interest on which is tax exempt for federal tax purposes (collectively, the "Bonds").
GRANTEE acknowledges that some or all of the Funds may be derived from Bonds, the interest on which is tax-exempt for federal tax purposes. GRANTEE further acknowledges its understanding that the proceeds of the Bonds are subject to certain ongoing limitations relating to the use of the assets financed or provided with such proceeds ("Project Costs" or "Project Components") in the trade or business of any person or entity other than a governmental organization (any such use by a person or entity other than a governmental organization is referred to as "Private Use"). Private Use will include any sale, lease or other arrangement pursuant to which a nongovernmental person or entity receives a legal entitlement of a Project Component and also includes certain agreements pursuant to which a nongovernmental person will operate or manage a Project Component. Each quarterly invoice submitted by GRANTEE to reimburse prior expenditures (or to be received as an advance) shall provide information regarding the specific Project Costs or Project Components to which the Funds which pay that invoice will be allocated and whether there is or might be any Private Use associated with such Project Costs or Project Components.
GRANTEE will, for the entire time over which LACMTA's Bonds or other debt remains outstanding, (1) notify and receive LACMTA' s approval prior to entering into any arrangement which will or might result in Private Use and (2) maintain records, including obtaining records from contractors and subcontractors as necessary, of all allocations of Funds to Project Costs or Project Components and any Private Use of such Project Costs or Project Components in sufficient detail to comply and establish compliance with Section 141 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or similar code provision then in effect and applicable, as determined by LACMTA in consultation with its bond counsel.
GRANTEE will designate one or more persons that will be responsible for compliance with the obligations described in this Attachment E and notify LACMTA of such designations.
