Page 2 of 6 Required Documentation and Narrative Information The following documents and narratives must be attached to this application. In the upper right-hand corner 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 governing 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. (For MPOs, the project or program must be identified in the fiscally -constrained 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.iowadot.gov/systems planninq/icaap.htm. ® H. Completed MINORITY IMPACT STATEMENT attached to application.
