Note: Current capabilities refer to anything the transit agency is doing
in these areas at the present or are beginning to be implemented.
Specify whether these capabilities are a result of or being supported by
previous year TSGP funds. Required capabilities refers to any gaps or
needs the transit has in the specific areas listed in each question.
Needs ("requirements") do not need to be limited to the types of
projects eligible under the FY08 TSGP guidance. The explanation in this
section will provide additional context on the overall security posture
and security goals of the transit agency. If the funding requested does
not address a requirement listed in this section, a justification should
be provided, particularly if the reason a solution is not being pursued
is the lack of a viable solution. The needs ("requirements") of the
agency can be contextualized in the form of short and long-term goals.
If a need is outlined in an agency's strategic or security plan, this
should be explained. This does not mean an agency must attach the plan
to the IJ. Only a statement that the need is part of the strategic or
security plan for the agency should be included.

| Instruc | Do not provide only a sentence or two explaining the       |
| tions** | project. This section should contain specific details on   |
|         | what the project is, how it will be executed, and its      |
|         | purpose. A lengthy or embellished description is not       |
|         | needed. Simply explain the facts of the project. Please    |
|         | state what type of project the investment meets (i.e.      |
|         | project effectiveness groupings). These could be things    |
|         | like training, exercises, infrastructure hardening, etc.   |
|         | Then, describe the specific items and activities on which  |
|         | the funds will be spent. Any purchases need to be          |
|         | explained and cannot be left as a general statement. For   |
|         | example, rather than stating the IJ will allow for the     |
|         | purchase of "fencing for a bus yard," explain what type of |
|         | fencing, such as "10 feet high half-inch wire mesh with    |
|         | one foot span (four strands) of barbed wire at the top of  |
|         | fencing." Also state how many linear feet of fencing are   |
|         | needed to fence the area, any gates, and other features    |
|         | that will be part of the overall fencing project.          |
|         |                                                            |
|         | If the project requested in the FY2008 TSGP is a phase of  |
|         | a project already in progress or the first phase of what   |
|         | will become a multi-phase project, this must be explained. |
|         | If this is not explained, it will raise questions as to    |
|         | whether a project is feasible within the period of         |
|         | performance. Explain the current progress on the other     |
|         | phases of the project. If the request is one portion of a  |
|         | multi-phase project, clearly explain the details of the    |
|         | portion being requested in this investment.                |
|         |                                                            |
|         | Ensure that the details on purchases within this section   |
|         | match what is outlined in the detailed budget. If the      |
|         | description states something will be done, but it is not   |
|         | in the budget it will raise red flags. If something is     |
|         | outlined in the budget, but is not found in the            |
|         | description it will raise red flags. Please properly scope |
|         | the project being requested to the amount of money being   |
|         | requested. If the investment states that something will be |
|         | done that is unreasonable given the funding requested, the |
|         | period of performance of the grant, or another factor, the |
|         | project may not be funded. If a project is requested in    |
|         | one grant year for a portion of the need and the amount of |
|         | funds awarded will not cover the entirety of what was      |
|         | stated in the IJ, the transit agency will have to absorb   |
|         | these costs because federal funds cannot be awarded twice  |
|         | for the same project. Be reasonable in the scope of the    |
|         | project being requested.                                   |

|         | It is not necessary to try to make your investment meet    |

|         | the investment you are submitting and fully explain how    |
|         | the investment fits into the grouping. If several          |

|         | (i.e. infrastructure protection at multi-user and          |

|         | explanation for each portion of the investment. If the     |
|         | project does not contain multiple portions that fall into  |
|         | different project effectiveness groupings or contain       |
|         | multiple portions that all fall into the same project      |

|         | investment specifically falls into the project             |
|         | effectiveness grouping, rather than listing a grouping. In |
|         | some cases, the appropriate project effectiveness grouping |
|         | may be clear, but in others it may not. To ensure that the |

|         | provide justification specific to the investment being     |
|         | requested as to how it fits into a particular grouping. In |

|         | -   Explain at a high level how TSGP funding will help     |
|         |     achieve these impacts. (Do not include specific        |
|         |     information as to the amount or type of funding        |
|         |     requested. This information should be provided in      |
|         |     Section IV.);                                          |

|         | -   Ensure this response links the identified impacts to   |
|         |     specific geographic and demographic areas outlined;    |
|         |     and,                                                   |

|         | -   Ensure this response identifies other transit systems, |
|         |     jurisdictions and disciplines that may benefit from an |
|         |     outcome or a solution presented by this investment.    |
|         |                                                            |
|         | Avoid hyperbole when describing the impacts of not funding |
|         | the project. It is not necessary to provide a doomsday     |
|         | scenario that will occur if not funded. Instead provide    |
|         | context on how the system operates currently without the   |
|         | investment, how it will work after the investment is       |
|         | completed, and the benefits that will occur as a result.   |
|         | Responding to the last bullet is particularly important    |
|         | for regional projects and shared facility projects. If the |
|         | question is not applicable to the investment requested,    |
|         | explain why it is not applicable.                          |

| **R     | -   Discuss how this investment will reduce risk (e.g.,    |

| tions** |     identified in earlier analysis and review; and,        |

|         | -   Identify the nature of the risk and how the risk and   |
|         |     need are related to show how addressing the need       |
|         |     through this investment will also mitigate risk (e.g., |
|         |     reduce vulnerabilities or mitigate the consequences of |

|         | of risk from terrorist activities, the answer to this      |
|         | question is critical. Please ensure that the explanation   |

|         | effectiveness grouping (i.e. specific to the type of       |

|         | Please provide an explanation of the risk reduction that   |
|         | will be gained through the completion of the investment in |
|         | the context of pre-attack planning or an actual attack     |
|         | occurring now versus the same situation at the end of the  |

|         | that the impact of not funding the project is that the     |
|         | project will not be funded. Provide additional detail on   |
|         | why it would not be funded, such as the operational budget |
|         | cannot support the funding of the investment. Similarly,   |
|         | explain the potential risks of not funding the investment, |
|         | but avoid hyperbole and doomsday assertions. The answer    |
|         | should be linked to the response in III.B.                 |

Management and Administration (M&A) costs are limited to 2.5% of the
total federal request for funding for each investment for the
sub-grantee (transit agency). M&A costs are limited to 3% of the total
federal request for funding for each investment for the State
Administrative Agency (SAA). In Tier II, both the costs for sub-grantee
and SAA M&A should be included as individual line items in the detailed
budget. If these are not included, it will be assumed that the
sub-grantee and SAA do not plan to take M&A.

It is recommended that in Tier I regions, the M&A costs also be included
as separate line items in the detailed budget. In past years, the SAA
M&A could be taken off-the-top of the regional allocations with the
sub-grantees only applying for 97% of the total funds available in the
region. Since funding may be moved between Tier I and Tier II, other
grant programs, and other regions, it will be more difficult to take
funds off-the-top. To ensure that the SAA M&A is included, a separate
line item on each project is recommended. M&A is calculated from the
project costs not the costs including the M&A for either the sub-grantee
or SAA. M&A is calculated only on project costs being requested through
TSGP, not total project costs including cost share and any other funding
sources.

If the investment requests funding for frontline employee training using
the training matrix do not add line items for M&A. M&A for both the
sub-grantee and the SAA are included in the training matrix
calculations.

| **R     | -   For each identified challenge, provide a brief         |
| esponse |     description of how the challenge will be addressed and |
| Instruc |     mitigated, and indicate a probability of occurrence    |

|         | -   The response should focus on the implementation only;  |
|         |                                                            |
|         | -   Consider the necessary steps and stages that will be   |
|         |     required for successful implementation of the          |
|         |     investment;                                            |

|         |     to a successful investment implementation.             |
|         |                                                            |
|         | It is not required that five challenges be included. If    |
|         | there are not five challenges do not make up challenges.   |
|         | If there are no challenges, the validity of the response   |
|         | will be questioned. Explain the challenges, the            |
|         | significance of the challenges, and the actions the        |
|         | transit agency will take to ensure the challenges will not |
|         | prevent the project from being completed within the period |
|         | of performance. If the challenges appear to be too         |
|         | complicated to be completed within the period of           |
|         | performance and sufficient justification of how the        |
|         | challenges will be overcome is not provided, the quality   |
|         | score will be negatively impacted.                         |

|         |     that are covered by the requested FY2008 TSGP funds    |
|         |     and will be completed over the 36-month grant period;  |

|         |     related to the milestone will be completed and overall |
|         |     milestone outcome is met; and,                         |

|         |     the successful completion of the milestone (such as    |
|         |     those examples listed in the question text above).     |

|         | While only a high level timeline is required, the timeline |
|         | should be specific to the requested investment and provide |
|         | sufficient milestones to indicate how the project will be  |
|         | moved toward completion within the period of performance.  |
|         | Please ensure the timeline does not extend beyond the      |
|         | period of performance. If the date of the issuance of the  |
|         | grants is not known, ensure the timeline does not extend   |
|         | beyond the number of months that are permitted for the     |
|         | period of performance. If hard dates for milestones are    |
|         | not known, indicate the amount of time that will be        |
|         | required for each milestone (i.e. one month, two weeks,    |
|         | four days, etc.). Please indicate whether tasks will run   |
|         | concurrently or sequentially. If tasks are intended to run |
|         | concurrently and it is not indicated, it will be assumed   |
|         | that task will run sequentially. This may lead to the      |
|         | timeline extending beyond the period of performance.       |

|         | updates that will be necessary as a result of completing   |
|         | the investment (i.e. the addition of cameras will require  |
|         | updating the response plan to reflect the new technology). |
|         | Please provide any details on MOUs that must be in place   |
|         | for the investment to be successful. If MOUs are required  |

|         | begun, please provide justification on how they will not   |
|         | preclude the investment from being completed within the    |
|         | period of performance. If specialized training will be     |
|         | required as a result of completing the investment (i.e.    |
|         | addition of new technology requiring employees to be       |
|         | trained to use the technology), please explain how the     |

**Additional Notes**

**[Attachments:]{.underline}**

Many transit agencies submit attachments (in addition to the system map,
training matrix, and detailed budget) to help explain or provide context
to their investment. These attachments are not required, but may be a
useful method of providing visual or other context to an IJ. Types of
attachments that are sometimes provided include:

-   Photos of locations to be addressed through the investment

-   More detailed system, route, or line maps related to an investment

-   Satellite maps showing the location of a piece of critical
    infrastructure being addressed through the investment or the
    location of a piece of an agency asset and its proximity to a
    high-value regional target

-   Diagrams of stations, yards, vehicles, etc. with details on where
    equipment will be installed as a result of the investment

If the transit agency feels that a particular attachment will provide
additional context to the IJ, please submit the attachment with the IJ.

**[Training matrix:]{.underline}**

Do not change the formulas in the training matrix. The formulas
represent preset amounts that will be given for specific courses and
numbers of employees. The formulas may not be changed to reflect the
agency's actual costs, whether higher or lower than those in the matrix.
If the transit agency costs are lower than the matrix, the additional
funds may be reprogrammed. If the transit agency costs are higher than
the matrix, the agency may apply for the actual costs for training, but
will need to submit a full IJ instead of the abbreviated IJ for the
training matrix. The cells of the training matrix that are filled in
grey indicate that the course is not recommended for that category of
employee. This is meant as an aid to determine which courses are
appropriate for which categories of employees. If the transit agency
wishes to train categories of employees in a course that is not
recommended (grey-filled) on the training matrix for those employees,
the agency may submit a full IJ with a detailed budget for those
employees with an explanation of why the agency feels the training is
necessary for the category of employees. If the transit agency wishes to
train employees of any category in a training course not on the training
matrix, the agency may do so. The transit agency will need to submit a
full IJ with a detailed budget and detailed information on the specific
training course to be given.

**[Detailed budget:]{.underline}**

A sample budget form from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
been provided as a reference. The transit agency is not required to use
this worksheet as the detailed budget. It is provided to indicate the
level of detail that is required in any detailed budget submitted with
the IJ. Please remember that some categories in the sample budget are
not eligible for reimbursement under TSGP, such as personnel costs and
indirect costs. While these categories are eligible under other federal
grant programs they are not eligible under the TSGP. Additional details
on allowable costs can be found in the grants guidance. The transit
agency may submit any budget format they wish as long as it contains
detailed information on costs for the investment. The budget should
provide enough detail to make it clear to the reader what is being
purchased (i.e. color PTZ cameras, 10' fine mesh high-security fencing,
etc.); how many/how much is being purchased (i.e. 42 cameras, 450 linear
feet of fencing, etc.); where will the investment take place (i.e.
Station X at tunnel portal A); and how the investment will be completed
(i.e. contractors/consultants for installation of equipment or to
conduct training). The budget should also include the cost share
information. To avoid confusion over unallowable costs as in-kind
matches, please clearly indicate when a number represents a cost share.
Please ensure that the budget detail matches the description in Section
II.A. Ensure that the details on purchases within this section match
what is outlined in the detailed budget. If the description states
something will be done, but it is not in the budget it will raise red
flags. If something is outlined in the budget, but is not found in the
description it will raise red flags.
