shall govern the performance of its officers, employees, board members, or agents engaged in the award
and administration of contracts, subagreements, leases, third -party contracts, or other arrangements
supported by federal assistance. The code or standards shall provide that the CONTRACTOR's officers,
employees, board members, or agents may neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of
monetary value from any present or potential subcontractor, lessee, sub -recipient, or participant at any tier
of the Project, or agent thereof. The CONTRACTOR may set de Minimis rules where the financial
interest is not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal intrinsic value. These codes or
standards shall prohibit the CONTRACTOR's officers, employees, board members, or agents from using
GCB2078 Page 6 of 22
their positions for a purpose that constitutes or presents the appearance of personal or organizational
conflict of interest or personal gain. As permitted by state or local law or regulations, such code or
standards shall include penalties, sanctions, or other disciplinary actions for violations by the
CONTRACTOR's officers, employees, board members, or agents, or by subcontractors, lessees, sub -
recipients, other participants, or their agents. The CONTRACTOR must fully comply with all the
requirements and obligations of chapter 42.52 RCW that govern ethics in state and local governments.
1. Personal Conflict of Interest. The CONTRACTOR's code or standards shall prohibit the
CONTRACTOR's employees, officers, board members, or agents from participating in the selection,
award, or administration of a contract supported by Federal Funds if a real or apparent conflict of interest
would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when any of the PARTIES set forth below has a financial
or other interest in the firm or entity selected for award:
a. The employee, officer, board member, or agent;
b. Any member of his or her immediate family;
c. His or her partner; or
d. An organization that employs, or is about to employ, any of the above.
2. Organizational Conflict of Interest. The CONTRACTOR's code or standard of conduct must
include procedures for identifying and preventing real and apparent organizational conflicts of interest.
An organizational conflict of interest exists when the nature of the work to be performed under a
proposed third -party contract, subagreement, lease, or other arrangement at any tier may, without some
restrictions on future activities, result in an unfair competitive advantage to the subrecipient, lessee, third -
party contractor, or other participant ant any tier of the Project or impair its objectivity in performing the
work under this AGREEMENT.
B. Debarment and Suspension. The CONTRACTOR agrees to comply, and assures the compliance of
each sub -recipient, lessee, third -party contractor, or other participant at any tier of the project, with the
requirements of Executive Orders Numbers 12549 and 12689, "Debarment and Suspension, "31 USC §
6101 note, and U.S. DOT regulations, "Non -procurement Suspension and Debarment" 2 CFR Part 1200,
which adopts and supplements the provisions of U.S. Office of Management and Budget (U.S. OMB)
"Guidelines to Agencies on Government wide Debarment and Suspension (Non -procurement)," 2 CFR
Part 180. The CONTRACTOR agrees to, and assures that its subrecipients, lessees, third -party
contractors, and other participants at any tier of the Project will, search the System for Award
Management at https://www.sam.gov before entering into any third sub agreement, lease, third -party
contract, or other arrangement in connection with the Project, and will include a similar term or condition
in each of its lower -tier covered transactions. CONTRACTOR understands that a suspension, debarment,
or other similar action against a third party by CONTRACTOR is considered an adverse action that can
result in a change in Project performance and agrees to provide immediate written notice to FTA if the
CONTRACTOR suspends, debars, or takes similar action against a third party.
C. Bonus or Commission. The CONTRACTOR affirms that it has not paid, and agrees not to pay, any
bonus or commission to obtain approval of its application for federal financial assistance for this Project.
D. Relationships with Employees and Officers of WSDOT. The CONTRACTOR shall not extend
any loan, gratuity or gift of money in any form whatsoever to any employee or officer of WSDOT, nor
shall the CONTRACTOR rent or purchase any equipment and materials from any employee or officer of
WSDOT.
E. Employment of Former WSDOT Employees. The CONTRACTOR hereby warrants that it shall
not engage on a full-time, part-time, or other basis during the period of this AGREEMENT, any
professional or technical personnel who are, or have been, at any time during the period of this
AGREEMENT, in the employ of WSDOT without written consent of WSDOT.
F. Restrictions on Lobbying. The CONTRACTOR agrees to:
1. Comply with 31 USC § 1352(a) and will not use Federal assistance to pay the costs of influencing

member of Congress, in connection with making or extending the Grant AGREEMENT or Cooperative
Agreement; and

3. Comply with federal statutory provisions to the extent applicable prohibiting the use of Federal

the provisions of the Hatch Act, 5 USC §§ 1501 through 1508, and §§ 7324 through 7326, and Office of
Personnel Management regulations, "Political Activity of State or Local Officers or Employees," 5 CFR
Part 151. The Hatch Act limits the political activities of state and local agencies and their officers and
employees, whose principal employment activities are financed in whole or in part with Federal Funds
including a loan, grant, or cooperative agreement. Nevertheless, in accordance with 49 USC § 5307
(k)(2)(B) and 23 USC § 142(g), the Hatch Act does not apply to a non -supervisory employee of a public
transportation system (or of any other agency or entity performing related functions) receiving assistance
pursuant to MAP -21 or SAFETEA-LU provisions and/or receiving FTA assistance to whom the Hatch
Act does not otherwise apply.

seq., and U.S. DOT regulations, "Program Fraud Civil Remedies," 49 CFR Part 31, apply to its activities

certifies or affirms the truthfulness and accuracy of each statement it has made, it makes, or it may make
in connection with the Project covered by this AGREEMENT. In addition to other penalties that may
apply, the CONTRACTOR also acknowledges that if it makes a false, fictitious, or fraudulent claim,
statement, submission, or certification to the Federal Government, the Federal Government reserves the
right to impose the penalties of the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986, as amended, on the
CONTRACTOR to the extent the Federal Government deems appropriate.
2. Criminal Fraud: If the CONTRACTOR makes a false, fictitious, or fraudulent claim, statement,
submission, certification, assurance, or representation to the Federal Government or includes a false,
fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation in any agreement in connection with this Project
authorized under 49 USC Chapter 53 or any other federal law, the Federal Government reserves the right
to impose on the CONTRACTOR the penalties of 49 USC §5323(1), 18 USC § 1001 or other applicable
Federal law to the extent the Federal Government deems appropriate.
3. CONTRACTOR understands that a false claim is considered an adverse action that can result in a
change in Project performance

Section 33
State and Local Law
Except when a Federal statute or regulation pre-empts state and/or local law, regulation or ordinance, no
provision of this AGREEMENT shall require the CONTRACTOR to observe or enforce compliance with
any provision, perform any other act, or do any other thing in contravention of state or local law,
regulation or ordinance. Thus if any provision or compliance with any provision of this AGREEMENT
violate state or local law, regulation or ordinance, or would require the CONTRACTOR to violate state or
local law, regulation or ordinance, the CONTRACTOR agrees to notify WSDOT immediately in writing.
Should this occur, WSDOT and the CONTRACTOR agree to make appropriate arrangements to proceed
with or, if necessary, expeditiously, terminate the Project.
Section 34
Termination
A. Termination for Convenience. WSDOT and/or the CONTRACTOR may suspend or terminate this
AGREEMENT, in whole or in part, and all or any part of the federal and/or state financial assistance
provided herein, at any time by written notice to the other PARTY in accordance with 49 CFR Part 18 §
18.44 or 49 CFR Part 19 § 19.61, whichever is applicable. WSDOT and the CONTRACTOR shall agree
upon the AGREEMENT termination provisions including but not limited to the settlement terms,
conditions, and in the case of partial termination the portion to be terminated. Written notification must
set forth the reasons for such termination, the effective date, and in case of a partial termination, the
portion to be terminated. However, if, in the case of partial termination, WSDOT determines that the
remaining portion of the award will not accomplish the purposes for which the award was made WSDOT
may terminate the award in its entirety. WSDOT and/or the CONTRACTOR may terminate this
AGREEMENT for convenience for reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
1. The requisite federal and/or state funding becomes unavailable through failure of appropriation or
otherwise;
2. WSDOT determines, in its sole discretion, that the continuation of the Project would not produce
beneficial results commensurate with the further expenditure of federal and/or state funds;
3. The CONTRACTOR is prevented from proceeding with the Project as a direct result of an
Executive Order of the President with respect to the prosecution of war or in the interest of national
defense; or an Executive Order of the President or Governor of the State with respect to the preservation
of energy resources;
4. The CONTRACTOR is prevented from proceeding with the Project by reason of a temporary
preliminary, special, or permanent restraining order or injunction of a court of competent jurisdiction
GCB2078 Page 17 of 22
where the issuance of such order or injunction is primarily caused by the acts or omissions of persons or
agencies other than the CONTRACTOR;
5. The Federal Government and/or State Government determines that the purposes of the statute
authorizing the Project would not be adequately served by the continuation of federal and/or state
financial assistance for the Project; or
6. The Federal Government terminates this AGREEMENT due to a determination that the
CONTRACTOR has: (a) willfully misused Federal assistance Funds by failing to make adequate progress
on the Project, (b) failed to make reasonable and appropriate use of the Project real property, facilities, or
equipment, or (c) failed to comply with the terms of this AGREEMENT. In the event of a termination
under this subsection, and the Federal Government exercises its right to require WSDOT to refund any or
all of the Federal Funds provided for the Project, the CONTRACTOR shall return all monies reimbursed
to it by WSDOT, in the amount required by the Federal Government, within sixty (60) days of its receipt
of a certified letter from WSDOT.
7. In the case of termination for convenience under subsections A.lthrough A.5 above, WSDOT
shall reimburse the CONTRACTOR for all costs payable under this AGREEMENT which the
CONTRACTOR properly incurred prior to termination. The CONTRACTOR shall promptly submit its
claim for reimbursement to WSDOT. If the CONTRACTOR has any property in its possession
belonging to WSDOT, the CONTRACTOR will account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner
WSDOT directs.
B. Termination for Default. WSDOT may suspend or terminate this AGREEMENT for default, in
whole or in part, and all or any part of the federal financial assistance provided herein, at any time by
written notice to the CONTRACTOR, if the CONTRACTOR materially breaches or fails to perform any
of the requirements of this AGREEMENT, including:
1. Takes any action pertaining to this AGREEMENT without the approval of WSDOT, which under
the procedures of this AGREEMENT would have required the approval of WSDOT;
2. Jeopardizes its ability to perform pursuant to the AGREEMENT, United States of America laws,
Washington state laws, or local governmental laws under which the CONTRACTOR operates.
3. Fails to make reasonable progress on the Project or other violation of this AGREEMENT that
endangers substantial performance of the Project; or
4. Fails to perform in the manner called for in this AGREEMENT or fails to comply with, or is in
violation of, any provision of this AGREEMENT. WSDOT shall serve a notice of termination on the
CONTRACTOR setting forth the manner in which the CONTRACTOR is in default hereunder. If it is
later determined by WSDOT that the CONTRACTOR had an excusable reason for not performing, such
as events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the CONTRACTOR, such as a strike, fire
or flood, WSDOT may: (a) allow the CONTRACTOR to continue work after setting up a new delivery
of performance schedule, or (b) treat the termination as a termination for convenience.
C. WSDOT, in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the
CONTRACTOR ten (10) business days, or such longer period as determined by WSDOT, in which to
cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the time period in which cure is
permitted and other appropriate conditions. If the CONTRACTOR fails to remedy to WSDOT's
satisfaction the breach or default within the timeframe and under the conditions set forth in the notice of
termination, WSDOT shall have the right to terminate this AGREEMENT without any further obligation
to CONTRACTOR. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude WSDOT
from also pursuing all available remedies against CONTRACTOR and its sureties for said breach or
default.
D. In the event that WSDOT elects to waive its remedies for any breach by CONTRACTOR of any
covenant, term or condition of this AGREEMENT, such waiver by WSDOT shall not limit WSDOT's
remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this
AGREEMENT.
GCB2078 Page 18 of 22
Section 35
Forbearance by WSDOT Not a Waiver
Any forbearance by WSDOT in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by
applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any such right or remedy.
Section 36
Lack of Waiver
In no event shall any WSDOT payment of grant funds to the CONTRACTOR constitute or be construed
as a waiver by WSDOT of any CONTRACTOR breach or default. Such payment shall in no way impair
or prejudice any right or remedy available to WSDOT with respect to any breach or default.
Section 37
Limitation of Liability
A. The CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless WSDOT, its agents, employees, and officers
and process and defend at its own expense any and all claims, demands, suits at law or equity, actions,
penalties, losses, damages, or costs (hereinafter referred to collectively as "claims"), of whatsoever kind
or nature brought against WSDOT arising out of, in connection with or incident to the execution of this
AGREEMENT and/or the CONTRACTOR' s performance or failure to perform any aspect of this
AGREEMENT. This indemnity provision applies to all claims against WSDOT, its agents, employees
and officers, and subcontractors arising out of, in connection with or incident to the negligent acts
omissions of the CONTRACTOR, its agents, employees and officers. Provided, however, that nothing
herein shall require the CONTRACTOR to indemnify and hold harmless or defend the WSDOT, its
agents, employees or officers to the extent that claims are caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the
WSDOT, its agents, employees or officers. The indemnification and hold harmless provision shall survive
termination of this AGREEMENT.
B. The CONTRACTOR shall be deemed an independent CONTRACTOR for all purposes, and the
employees of the CONTRACTOR or its subcontractors and the employees thereof, shall not in any
manner be deemed to be the employees of WSDOT.
C. The CONTRACTOR specifically assumes potential liability for actions brought by
CONTRACTOR's employees and/or subcontractors and solely for the purposes of this indemnification
and defense, the CONTRACTOR specifically waives any immunity under the State Industrial Insurance
Law, Title 51 Revised Code of Washington.
D. In the event either the CONTRACTOR or WSDOT incurs attorney's fees, costs or other legal
expenses to enforce the provisions of this section of the AGREEMENT against the other PARTY, all
such fees, costs and expenses shall be recoverable by the prevailing PARTY.
Section 38
WSDOT Advice
The CONTRACTOR bears complete responsibility for the administration and success of the Project as it
is defined by this AGREEMENT and any amendments thereto. If the CONTRACTOR solicits advice of
WSDOT on problems that may arise, the offering of WSDOT advice shall not shift the responsibility of
the CONTRACTOR for the correct administration and success of the Project, and WSDOT shall not be
held liable for offering advice to the CONTRACTOR.
Section 39
Venue and Process
In the event that either PARTY deems it necessary to institute legal action or proceedings to enforce any
right or obligation under this AGREEMENT, the PARTIES hereto agree that any such action shall be
initiated in the Superior Court of the State of Washington situated in Thurston County. The PARTIES
agree that the laws of the state of Washington shall apply.

B. Subrogation. WSDOT may require the CONTRACTOR to assign to it all right of recovery against
any person or organization for loss, to the extent of WSDOT's loss. Upon assignment, the
CONTRACTOR shall execute, deliver, and do whatever else necessary to secure WSDOT's rights. The
CONTRACTOR shall do nothing after any loss to prejudice the rights of WSDOT.
C. Duties of the CONTRACTOR. If WSDOT has exercised its right of subrogation, the

For Meeting of: October 20, 2015
Resolution authorizing a Grant Agreement with Washington State

Yakima and Selah
Scott Schafer, Public Works Director
Alvie Maxey, Acting Transit Manager, 576-6415
This grant agreement is to fund both the Yakima -Ellensburg Commuter and Dial A Ride services.
The Yakima -Ellensburg Commuter service started in November 2011 with funding from the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Central Washington University (CWU), & Yakima Transit. Since
then, Yakima Transit has taken over the grantee role in managing and contracting for the program. Yakima
Transit applied for, and was awarded, funding for two more years (July 1, 2015—June 30, 2017).
For this grant period, Selah has been added as a funding partner. The service is operated by Central
Washington Airporter. For this grant cycle, matching funds for the grant are being provided by state and
federal funding ($200,000/yr) the City of Yakima (estimated $58,000/yr), the City of Selah ($16,000/yr), and
CWU ($80,000/yr).
The Paratransit Special Needs Formula grant is also included in this grant agreement to provide financial
support for the Dial -A -Ride program and is made up of State of Washington formula grant funds in the
amount of $250,612; of which, $11,625 is awarded to, and will be remitted to, the city of Selah.
The total amount for Grant Agreement GCB2078 is $650,612 from both state and federal funds. (See

Subject: Yakima -Ellensburg Commuter Service 2015-2017
Yakima Transit currently operates the Yakima -Ellensburg Commuter and began doing
so as of June 16, 2014, when HopeSource (of Ellensburg) stopped providing the service.
Yakima Transit and Central Washington University have contributed funding to the
program since the services inception in November 2012 to match a Washington State
Department of Transportation consolidated grant that Yakima Transit received.
Yakima Transit and Central Washington University continue to provide funding to match
the State's consolidated grant. During this latest funding cycle, the City of Selah has
opted to participate in funding the program in the amount of $16,000/year. These three
grant and grant -related agreements encompass the full agreement between Yakima
Transit and the Washington State Department of Transportation ($200,000/year), the
City of Selah ($16,000/year), and Central Washington University ($80,000/year) for the
July 1, 2015 — June 30, 2017 grant cycle. Without the essential support from our funding
partners, this service would not exist. Yakima Transit funding amount is estimated to be
$58,000 per year; however, Yakima Transit is also responsible for any cost overruns as
well as general grant management, program management (includes finance, purchasing,
planning, reporting, ticket/pass production & disbursement, and other related services),
and contractor oversight.
For the 2015-2017 Grant Cycle, Yakima Transit revised the service to include an
additional stop within the City of Selah and an additional stop at Central Washington
University. Two previous stop locations within the City of Ellensburg were pulled due to
the City of Ellensburg electing not to participate in funding towards this commuter
service.
Due to state regulations, Yakima Transit is required to contract the service out to another
organization. The Central Washington Airporter Shuttle is currently providing the service
under a contract with the City of Yakima and has done so since June 2014.
The FIRST AMENDMENT to AGREEMENT GCB2078 entered into between the Washington
State Department of Transportation (hereinafter referred to as "WSDOT"), and Yakima Transit
(hereinafter referred to as "CONTRACTOR"), and/or individually referred to as the "PARTY"
