Tra:isit Agencies(CASTA),a Colorado nonprofit corporation ad each of the members
of an tifonnal coalition,the Colorado Transit Coalition, as list d on Exhibit A, attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference(referred to collectively as the
"members").
Whereas,CASTA is a nonprofit trade association located in Denver,Colorado
and represents Colorado transit agencies, and
Whereas,the Federal Transit Administration provides capital funding to transit
agencies under the Capital Program(49 U.S.C. Section 5309)Transportation Equity Act
for the 21n Century(TEA-21),and
S 'hereas,a number of Colorado transit agencies are desirous of obtaining
congress.anal earmarked funds,in the federal Fiscal Year 2000,under Section 5309 for
capital p zchases,and
Whereas,those Colorado transit agencies seeking U.S.C. 49, Section 5309
funding have affiliated as a nonprofit unincorporated association,Colorado Transit
Coalition(Coalition),and have agreed that CASTA will act as a coordinator for the
Coalition in seeking U.S.C. 49, Section 5309 funding, and
Whereas,CASTA will be entering into au agreement with a Washington D.C.
based public affairs and governmental relations consulting firm,to provide transportation
funding consulting services on behalf of the Coalition.
Now Therefore,CASTA and each of the Coalition members agree as follows:
1. Term of Agreement. The term of this agreement shall be from January 1, 1999
through December 31, 1999.
2. Membership. Membership in the Coalition will be open to any Colorado
transit agency that qualifies for U.S.C. 49, Section 5309 funding. While a multi-year
effort is anticipated,members may choose to participate on an annual basis dependent on
the individual member's capital needs.
3. Members' Capital Requests. The members' capital requests shall be handled as
follows:
a. Each member shall submit to CASTA by a mutually agreed upon date it
capital request, in a form acceptable to CASTA and consistent with the capital reqi st
amount set forth on Exhibit A for that member. CASTA shall then compile the capi 31
requests into a statewide request document to be presented to Congress for considetation.
All capital requests (as listed on Exhibit A)must be supported by accurate, current
planning documents. The member must verify that matching funds are available to
support a grant in the fiscal year it is available. The Colorado Department of
Transportation and/or the Federal Transit Administration, as appropriate, will review the
planning documents for each member to assure that projects are"do-able"within Fiscal
Year 2000, prior to submittal of the request to Congress in January of 1999.
b. If a member requests an addition or reduction to a capital request,the impact
on other members will be considered prior to any changes being approved by the
coalition members. A member will not be required to decrease a request that would place
that member in the position of lacking sufficient funds to obtain usable units of
equipment. For purposes of this agreement a usable unit of equipment will be as defined
in the individual applicant's request. (See Exhibit A)
c. If the final U.S.C. 49, Section 5309 bus allocation is less than requested in the
statewide request, reduction to each member will be calculated ratably based on each •
member's capital request. The bus allocation amounts and consultant costs will then be
adjusted, as appropriate, to assure that each coalition member receives an amount
sufficient to obtain usable units of equipment by consensus of the Coalition members.
d. The members each agree to pay to CASTA in four(4)equal installments an
amount equal to such members' proportional share of$112,500 based on the percentage
of the total Statewide Request attributable to that member's capital request,as set forth
in Exhibit A. The payments shall be made to CASTA upon execution of this Agree ient
and on or before April 1",July 1"and October 1".
