Alameda CTC Transit Center Development Program Implementation Guidelines
<br /> which performed long-range planning and funding for countywide transportation projects
<br /> and programs, and the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority, which
<br /> administered the voter-approved, half-cent transportation sales taxes in Alameda County
<br /> (the Measure B sales tax programs approved in 1986 and 2000).
<br /> B. Capital project: A capital investment that typically requires the following phases:
<br /> planning/feasibility, scoping, environmental clearance, design, right-of-way, construction,
<br /> and completion.
<br /> C. Construction: Construction of a new capital project, including development of
<br /> preliminary engineering and construction documents, including plans, specifications, and
<br /> estimates (PS&E).
<br /> D. Cost Allocation Plans (CAPs): CAPs and indirect cost(IDC) rate proposals are plans that
<br /> provide a systematic manner to identify, accumulate, and distribute allowable direct and
<br /> indirect costs to Transit Center Development programs funded through the Alameda CTC
<br /> Master Program Funding Agreements.
<br /> E. Direct cost: A cost completely attributed to the provision of a service, operations, a
<br /> program, a capital cost, or a product. These costs include documented hourly project staff
<br /> labor charges (salaries, wages, and benefits) that are directly and solely related to the
<br /> implementation of Alameda CTC-funded Transit Center Development projects,
<br /> consultants, and materials. These funds may be used for travel or training if they are
<br /> directly related to the implementation of the Transit Center Development funds.
<br /> F. Education and promotion: Marketing, education, information, outreach, and promotional
<br /> campaigns and programs.
<br /> G. Environmental documents: Preparation of environmental documents, such as those
<br /> related to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) or the National
<br /> Environmental Policy Act(NEPA), or permits required by state or federal permitting
<br /> agencies.
<br /> H. Equipment and new vehicles: Purchase or lease of vehicles, and equipment for service
<br /> improvements, such as information dissemination, fare collection, etc.
<br /> I. Grants: Funding for plans, programs, or projects based on a competitive call for projects;
<br /> evaluated based on adopted evaluation criteria; and allocated based on a reimbursement
<br /> basis.
<br /> J. Indirect cost: Also known as "overhead," any cost of doing business other than direct
<br /> costs. These costs include utilities, rent, administrative staff, officers' salaries, accounting
<br /> department costs, and personnel department costs, which are requisite for general operation
<br /> of the organization but are not directly allocable to a particular service or product.
<br /> K. Maintenance: Repairs, renovation, or upgrade of existing facility or infrastructure.
<br /> L. Measure B: Alameda County's half-cent transportation sales tax, originally approved in
<br /> 1986, and reauthorized by voters in November 2000. Collection of the sales tax began on
<br /> April 1, 2002. Administered by the Alameda CTC, Measure B funds four types of
<br /> programs in 20 local jurisdictions: bicycle and pedestrian, local streets and roads, mass
<br /> transit, and paratransit.
