Required Documentation and Narrative Information
The following documents and narratives must be attached to this application. In the upper right-hand comer of each
document or narrative write the corresponding letter shown below.
• A. A NARRATIVE assessing existing congestion/air quality conditions, outlining the concept of the proposed
project, and providing adequate project justification. How will this project reduce congestion, reduce travel or
single occupant vehicle usage, and/or improve air quality? Which transportation -related pollutant(s) are
being addressed: carbon monoxide, ozone, or PM?
B. A DETAILED MAP identifying the location of the project and clearly differentiating the subject project from
any past or future project phases.
® C. An ITEMIZED BREAKDOWN of the total project costs. This documentation does not need to be a detailed,
line -item type of estimate. However, it must accomplish two objectives: first, it must show the method by
which the cost estimate was prepared; and second, it must enable a reviewer to determine if the cost
estimate is reasonable. The manner in which these objectives are achieved may vary widely depending on
the type, scope and complexity of the project. Absent a fully itemized list of costs, some general guidelines
for possible methods of estimating each type of project cost are provided on Attachment A.
D. A TIME SCHEDULE for the total project development.
E. An OFFICIAL CERTIFICATION from the applicant's goveming body (authority) that it shall:
(1) commit the necessary local matching funding for project implementation and
(2) upon project completion, be responsible for adequately maintaining and operating the project for
public use during the project's useful life.
® F. AN ADOPTED FORMAL RESOLUTION from the appropriate MPO or RPA declaring the sponsor's
proposed project or program conforms to the MPO's or RPA's regional transportation planning process and
transportation plan and, if applicable, the congestion management plan in TMAs.
® G. CALCULATIONS for vehicle emission reductions and total project cost effectiveness for the targeted
pollutants. Project applicant must show through a quantitative analysis how many kilograms of pollutant will
be reduced (CO, VOC, NOx, and, if applicable, PM). Project sponsor must calculate the cost effectiveness
of the project by: Dividing the total annualized project cost by the number of kilograms per year of pollutant
reduced ($ per kg). Applicant must also show all assumptions and source of data used to calculate the
estimates. The applicant must use the most current vehicle emission factors developed by the Iowa DNR
and consistent with EPA's MOBILE 6.2 air quality model. These emission factors are periodically updated
and may be obtained from the Iowa DOT's ICAAP website at:
http://www.iovvadot.govisystems_planning/icaap.htm.
H. Completed MINORITY IMPACT STATEMENT attached to application.
The award of Iowa Clean Air Attainment funds; any subsequent funding or letting of contracts for design,
construction, reconstruction, improvement, or maintenance; and the fumishing of materials shall not involve direct or
indirect interest of any state, county, or city official, elective or appointive. All of the above are prohibited by Iowa
Code Sections 314.2, 362.5, or 331.342. Any award of funding or any letting of a contract in violation of the foregoing
provisions shall invalidate the award of Iowa Clean Air Attainment Program funding and authorize a complete
recovery of any funds previously disbursed.
Certification
To the best of my knowledge and belief, all information included in this application is true and accurate, including the
commitment of all physical and financial resources. This application has been duly authorized by the participating
local authority. I understand the attached OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT(S) binds the participating local govemments to
assume responsibility for adequate maintenance of any new or improved facilities.
If ICAAP funding assistance is approved for the project described in this application, I understand that an executed

can be authorized for use in implementing the project.
