Reiman Borough of Carteret 61 Cooke Avenue Carteret, NJ 07008 September 21, 2021 Re: Proposal for Professional Services to Prepare an Application for the FY 2021 Passenger Ferry Grant Program Dear Mayor Reiman: As you are aware, on August 6, 2021, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced the FY2021 Passenger Ferry Grant Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). On Tuesday, August 31, 2021, at 2:30 p.ml, T &M attended a webinar hosted by FTA, that provided information about FTA's Fiscal Year 2021 Passenger Ferry notice of funding opportunity, including application eligibility and criteria, and the submission process. The application period for the FY21 Passenger Ferry Program closes on October 5, 2021. As you've stated via email, it is understood the Borough would like our office to coordinate with NJ Transit to prepare and submit a funding application similar to the 2017 award. It is understood that the application will need to be submitted by NJ Transit on behalf of the Borough of Carteret, since NJT is the NJ designated recipient of FTA section 5307 funds. The cost to prepare and coordinate with NJ Transit to submit the application is proposed as a not to exceed fee of $4,000. Our services will include preparation of the six (6) page application form which has been attached for convenience. Very truly yours, T & M ASSOCIATES NICHOLAS C. ROTONDA, P.E., P.P., C.M.E.
