The District has established separate and distinct Special Transportation Fund entitled "STF 1 08" (hereinafter referred to as STF). C.

The parties expressly understand and agree to limit the extent and nature of this agreement to any funds ultimately to be distributed by STF, and, upon the failure of such fund or the prior disbursal of any monies previously received as part of the parties' participation in such fund, this agreement will automatically cease and have no further force or effect. Now, therefore, IT IS HEREBY AGREED between the parties as follows: 1. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT. 1.1 The Contractor will provide special transportation services in a manner such that the District will at all times be in full compliance with the applicable grant or other funding agreements between the District and the source of funding for this agreement and with ORS 391.800-391.830 and with administrative rules OAR 732-05-000 through 732-10- 045, as presently existing or as hereafter amended, and in a manner which will not cause the Public Transit Section to withhold payments or disapprove funding for Contractor's services. The Contractor will comply with all laws and regulations governing use of STF grants and will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to transportation of passengers. The Contractor will comply with all policies and guidelines adopted by the District relating to the STF program. The District's obligations under this agreement are contingent upon the continued availability and payment of funds from the State of Oregon Elderly and Disabled Special Transportation Grant. Attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein are ORS 391.800-391.830 (Exhibit D) and administrative rules OAR 732-05-000 through 732-10-045 (Exhibit E). 2. TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. 2.1 The Contractor agrees to provide the special transportation services described in detail by the Statement of Work (Exhibit A). The Contractor agrees to undertake whatever 1 SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT 2007 - 2008 CITY OF WOODBURN action is necessary to provide such services and to purchase all necessary equipment required for such services. 2.2 Contractor agrees that no special transportation services will be provided under this agreement that may require vehicles to go outside the boundaries of the State of Oregon. 3. PAYMENT. 3.1 Limitation of Funds. The total funds available under this agreement shall not exceed the sum of the amounts listed in the recitals section on page 1. Contractor assumes all responsibility for monitoring the services rendered pursuant to this agreement so as to insure that the value of Contractor's services shall not exceed the total dollars available for distribution as is stated in the preceding sentence. 3.2 Non-appropriations Clause. District shall not be obligated to make any payments to the Contractor under this agreement to the extent that District does not obtain sufficient funding from the Public Transit Division under ORS 391.810, or to the extent funds are not appropriated by District under the Local Budget Law (ORS 294.305-294.520, 294.555, and 294.565), in which event District may, but shall not be obligated to, terminate this contract or prorate available and appropriated funds among all providers of transportation programs and services for the elderly and disabled currently under agreement with District. 3.3 Payment Terms: The total sum of STF revenues to be distributed by the District to the Contractor shall not exceed the sum of the amounts listed in the recitals section on page 1. Beginning on or before August 15, 2007 and continuing on or before the 15th day of each following month, Contractor shall submit a completed monthly Reimbursement Report for payment to the Specialized Transportation Director. Payment will be made by the District's Contracting Officer on or before the last day of the submission month. If the Reimbursement Report is received atter the 15th day of the month or is not complete, payment will not be processed until the following month.

No single payment will be larger than one-twelfth of the total STF grant amount (the "monthly limit"), unless the Contractor did not claim the monthly limit in a previous month(s), in which case the Contractor may be reimbursed for actual expenses up to the monthly limit plus the amount of funds that were not claimed up to the monthly limit from the previous month(s). 3.3.3 In the event the Contractor has incurred a lump sum operating cost which exceeds the monthly limit, the Contractor may request a larger reimbursement. Such a request must be sent to the District's contracting officer in writing, and must identify the nature of the cost(s), which cause the request to exceed the monthly limit. The District's contracting officer may request any further information necessary to make a determination on how much of the requested costs beyond the limit, if any, should be reimbursed in any particular month. 2 SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT 2001- 2008 CITY OF WOODBURN 3.3.4 If a request is granted, the STF funds that remain after such reimbursement shall be divided by the number of months remaining, and the resultant figure will comprise a new monthly limit for the remainder of the year. 3.3.5 Any funds provided pursuant to this agreement shall be used to reimburse Contractor for transportation services and projects consistent with OAR 732-005- 0010 through 732-005-0016.

Part 215, and any amendments thereto. These terms and conditions are identified in the U.S. DOL's letter of certification to FTA, the date of which is set forth Grant Agreement or Cooperative Agreement with the state. The Contractor agrees to perform transit operations in connection with the underlying contract in compliance with the conditions stated in that U.S. DOL letter. (c) Transit Employee Protective Requirements for Projects Authorized by 49 U.S.C. ~ 5311 in Non-urbanized Areas - If the contract involves transit operations financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance authorized by 49 U.S.C. ~ 5311, the Contractor agrees to comply with 11 SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT 2007 - 2008 CITY OF WOODBURN the terms and conditions of the Special Warranty for the Non-urbanized Area Program agreed to by the U.S. Secretaries of Transportation and Labor, dated May 31, 1979, and the procedures implemented by U.S. DOL or any revision thereto. 18.2.1 The Contractor also agrees to include the any applicable requirements in each subcontract involving transit operations financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FT A. 19.

The Dial-A-Ride program provides transportation to elderly and disabled individuals for any purpose within the Woodburn city limits. The grant offered by ODOT through this Agreement is for the purchase of transportation services under a contract, lease, or other arrangement. Purchased service is defined as "capital" for the purposes of the 49 USC ~ 5310 program, as described in Circular 9070.1 E. Generally accepted accounting principles and the City of Woodburn's accounting system determine those costs that are to be accounted for as operating costs. The City of Woodburn may not count the same costs twice if they have multiple agreements for which these costs may be eligible. The service provider may use capital equipment funded from USDOT- or State-source grants when performing services rendered through a contract funded by this Agreement. Depreciation of capital equipment funded from USDOT- or State-source grants is not an eligible expense. Service Desian The service purchased under this agreement, e.g., schedule, days, hours and service type (demand responsive, fixed route or other) will be designed to meet the needs of the elderly and people with disabilities as determined by the City of Woodburn in consultation with the District, the affected community members and stakeholders identified by the District and the City of Woodburn. The Paratransit van service will provides door-to-door service to the general elderly and disabled population of the city. Forty hours of weekly service is provided which is the same as the fixed route bus - Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This service provides the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) complementary Paratransit service that is required of the city because of the fixed route bus service provided. The city will also provide this service to the general elderly. A volunteer driver service provides transportation for residents to medically related appointments from Salem to Portland and occasionally beyond. The program currently uses primarily volunteers who are seniors themselves and work under the city's Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Contractor will coordinate services offered to the general public in the regional area to enhance regional services and to avoid duplication of services. 16 SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT 2001- 2008 CITY OF WOODBURN Service Goals and Reportina Overall, the success of the service will be measured by the use of the service, specifically by the numbers of elderly and disabled passenger trips. The primary goal of the project is to sustain current service levels and to increase the number of passengers who are elderly and disabled passengers over the term of this Agreement. 1 . The City of Woodburn will maintain current Dial-A-Ride service from FY 2006-07 to FY 2007-08. 2. The number of seniors and people with disabilities using the dial-a-ride service will increase by a minimum of a 3% annually. This goal will be achieved by providing services specifically designed to meet the needs of the seniors and people with disabilities residing in the City of Woodburn. In addition to reporting the data outlined in the monthly report, contractor will report on the service design and progress toward achieving the service goals in each report and reimbursement request submitted to the District. The City of Woodburn will inform the District if there is a change in the service funded by this Contract. Payment and Budaet Contractor will report to the District the actual cost of service provided within the payment period, based on verifiable records.
