Re: 2021 TDA Article 3 Award – Merrill Avenue Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Project
Dear Michael Tahan:
It is our pleasure to inform you that on November 3, 2021, the San Bernardino County
Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Board of Directors (Board) approved funding in the amount
of $639,404.61 from the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Bicycle and Pedestrian
Facilities Program for the Merrill Avenue Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Improvements Project.
The SBCTA Board set the period of time for completion of your project to comply with TDA
provisions, therefore this project must be completed by June 30, 2025.
Within six months (by May 3, 2022), or prior to requesting reimbursement of funds, whichever
comes first, the City of Rialto must submit (1) a Claim Form and (2) and Authorizing Resolution.
Forms and a sample resolution can be found at www.gosbcta.com/tda3 under the Claims section.
Additionally, once all required forms are completed, they should be submitted via
www.gosbcta.com/tda3 under the section title Claims by clicking on the Submit Claim Form &
Resolution button.
Please note that the TDA Article 3 award is paid through a reimbursement process. 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, the local match percentage of 56.05% ($815,564.61 of the estimated
$1,454,969.22 total) will apply to the adjusted total. Additionally, sponsor agencies
receiving an allocation of $200,000 or less shall be reimbursed in arrears and upon
proof of satisfactory project completion. Agencies receiving an allocation of $200,000 or
more may request progress payments; however, 10% of the awarded funds shall be held by
SBCTA until proof of satisfactory project completion.
Congratulations on submitting a successful grant application. We look forward to the timely
completion of your project. Should you have any questions please contact me at (909) 884-8276
or gkoblasz@gosbcta.com.
Sincerely,
Ginger Koblasz
