Dear Ms. Lorentz:
Congratulations, it is our pleasure to inform you that the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority
(SBCTA) Board of Directors approved funding from the Transportation Development Act (TDA), Article
3 Transit Stop Access Program, for the Big Bear Blvd. Shopping Centers Bus Stop in an amount of
$87,000.
The TDA Article 3 award is considered a grant and is paid through a reimbursement process and the filing
of a TDA claim, including proper documentation of project expenditure. The award is for a maximum
reimbursable amount. Should your project exceed the maximum reimbursable amount, SBCTA will not
provide any additional reimbursement. For projects completed under the awarded amount, SBCTA will
reimburse your agency for the LTF share of the project using the match percentage of 50% identified in
your grant application. The SBCTA Board also set the period of time for completion of your project to
comply with TDA provisions, therefore the project funded under this letter of award must be completed
by October 4, 2019.
Your grant allocation amount has been submitted to the auditor controller. At the time of reimbursement
request, a completed claim form must be submitted to SBCTA as well as additional documentation
supporting your request. Progress payments may be requested for project awards over $200,000. For
questions on reimbursement and next steps for obtaining your allocation and claim form instructions,
please contact Nancy Strickert at nstrickert@gosbcta.com.
We look forward to the rapid implementation of your project. Should you have any questions please
contact me at (909) 884-8276 or cbrown@gosbcta.com.
Sincerely,
Cameron Brown
Senior Planner
