appropriations, dedicated tax revenues, private donations, net income generated from advertising and

A 10 percent match is required for the money from the voluntary dollar contribution generated from
the annual vehicle registration forms and must be in-kind match. Examples of in-kind match include
non-cash donations, volunteered services, and salaries and fringe benefits. The value of each of these
must be documented, reasonable and necessary for the arrangement or provision of transportation
disadvantaged services. Service provided with State or Federal government revenues is not accepted
as in-kind match. [Program Manual for Trip & Equipment Grants].

SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING:
Third party contracts are contracts between a grantee and any subgrantee, or pass through funding
recipient, consultants, or others in the private sector for work needed to carry out a project. Unless
otherwise authorized in writing by the Commission, the Grantee may not execute any contract or
obligate itself in any manner requiring the disbursement of Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund
money, including transportation operator and consultant contracts or amendments thereto, with any
third party with respect to the project without being able to provide a written certification (upon the
Commission's request) by the Grantee that the contract or obligation was executed in accordance with
Trip & Equipment Grant Agreement 2014/2015

the competitive procurement requirements of Chapter 287, Florida Statutes, Chapter 427, Florida
Statutes, and the rules promulgated by the Department of Management Services. The procurement,
execution, audit and closing of third-party contracts are basic grantee responsibilities and must be
carried out using the same guidelines and procedures as described in Chapter 287, Florida Statutes.
Inter-agency agreements or contracts passing through grant funds to other public bodies (including
public transit operators) or transportation operators as defined in Chapter 427, Florida Statutes, are
not third-party contracts. However, the pass-through recipient must comply with Chapter 287, Florida
Statutes, if it enters into any subsequent third-party contract using Transportation Disadvantaged
Trust Funds. [Grant Agreement Provision 12.10; Program Manual for Trip & Equipment Grants].
In addition to reviews of audits conducted in accordance with Section 215.97, Florida Statutes, as
revised, monitoring procedures may include, but not be limited to, on-site visits by Commission staff.
The Grantee agrees to comply and cooperate fully with any monitoring procedures/processes deemed
appropriate by the Commission, the Florida Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General
(OIG) and Florida’s Chief Financial Officer or Auditor General. [Program Manual for Trip & Equipment
Grants].
