| Proposition AA | Call for Projects |
Prop AA Call for Projects: Part 2 anticipated for June 2012We plan to issue the Call for Projects - Part 2 in June 0212, with applications for Fiscal Year 2012/13 allocations due in August 2012. Project sponsors will be able to submit projects in response to the Call for Projects - Part 2 that were not submitted in response to the Call for Projects - Part 1. This timeline will allow Fiscal Year 2012/13 allocations in September/October following adoption of the Prop AA Strategic Plan based on projects received through Parts 1 and 2 of the Call for Projects. Allocations could happen concurrently with Strategic Plan adoption. On Friday, March 30, 2012, the Authority released Prop AA Call for Projects - Part 1. We are currently in the process of reviewing applications, which were submitted on Monday, April 30, 2012. For the purposes of this call for projects, we estimate that about $26.4 million will be available for programming to projects in the first five years of the program (Fiscal Years 2012/13 through 2016/17). Prop AA funds can only be used for design engineering and/or construction (including procurement). Only public agencies are eligible to apply for Prop AA funds. Public agencies may include, but are not limited to federal, state, and local agencies, and transit operators. The project sponsor is the agency that will administer the project. Application guidance and materials related to Prop AA Call for Projects - Part 1 can be found below. We anticipate sharing the Project Information Forms with the Citizens Advisory Committee and Plans and Programs Committee in May 2012 to help inform their actions related to adoption of Strategic Plan policies and prioritization criteria, which are scheduled for Board action in June 2012. Following the adoption of the policies and prioritization criteria in June, we plan to issue the Call for Projects - Part 2, with applications for Fiscal Year 2012/13 allocations due in August 2012. This timeline would allow Fiscal Year 2012/13 allocations in September/October following adoption of the Prop AA Strategic Plan. Allocations could happen concurrently with Strategic Plan adoption. Project sponsors would be able to submit projects in response to the Call for Projects - Part 2, that were not submitted in response to the Call for Projects - Part 1. The advantage of submitting projects in response to the Call for Projects - Part 1 was that candidate projects could be taken into consideration by the Authority Board when adopting the prioritization criteria in June, which will determine which types of projects are given the highest priority for funding in the first five years of Prop AA. prop aa call for projects: part 1 APPLICATION MATERIALSLetters of support for projects were not necessary for the Call for Projects - Part 1, but will be likely be an optional item for the Call for Projects - Part 2.
