Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. The department will invite eligible entities to submit applications for grants from the fund for transportation projects by a call for projects letter using a two-phase application process. The first phase will consist of a request to submit a project feasibility form. Submittal of the project feasibility form is mandatory in order to be eligible to submit a full application in the second phase. If a project is determined to be feasible, phase two will consist of a request for the eligible entity to submit a completed project application. Any specific criteria applicable to the funding cycle will be specified in the call for projects. Applications for program funds shall conform to the application instructions described in the call for projects or the phase two request. Any procedures, requirements, conditions, restrictions, and limitations applicable to the funding cycle other than those contained in this rule will be specified in the call for projects or the phase two application request.
B. The completed phase one feasibility form must be submitted to the appropriate MPO or RTPO based on a project's physical location on or before the date specified in the call for projects. Failure to timely submit the required project feasibility form as required in the call for projects will result in the eligible entity being ineligible for funding in the funding cycle.
C. The completed project application must be submitted to the same MPO or RTPO where the project feasibility form was submitted unless otherwise instructed in writing by the department. Failure to timely submit the phase two project application will result in the eligible entity being ineligible for funding in the funding cycle.
D. An incomplete project feasibility form or project application will be rejected and will not be considered for funding in the funding cycle unless amended or corrected on or before the date specified in the call for projects.
