funds for this project. Also, the Subgrantee assures and certifies that:
A. It possesses legal authority to apply for the grant; and that a resolution, motion, or similar
action has been duly adopted or passed as an official act of the applicant's governing
body, authorizing the filing of the application, including all understandings and assurances

provide any additional information that may be required.
B. It and its subcontractors will comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Public Law

Real Property Acquisitions Act of 1970, as amended; 42 USC (United States Code)
§§4601 et seq.; and United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) regulations,

relative to this project shall be available to the public during normal business hours in
compliance with Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code, unless otherwise expressly

except as otherwise provided by law or specifically permitted in the Texas Constitution.
ARTICLE 3. COMPENSATION
A. The method of payment for this agreement will be based on actual costs incurred up to and
not to exceed the limits specified in the Project Budget. The amount included in a Project
Budget category will be deemed to be an estimate only and a higher amount can be
reimbursed, subject to the conditions specified in paragraph B of this Article. If the Project
Budget specifies that costs are based on a specific rate, per -unit cost, or other method of
payment, reimbursement will be based on the specified method.
B. All payments will be made in accordance with the Project Budget.
The Subgrantee's expenditures may overrun a budget category (I, II, or III) in the
approved Project Budget without a grant (budget) amendment, as long as the overrun
does not exceed a total of five (5) percent of the maximum amount eligible for
reimbursement (TxDOT) in the attached Project Budget for the current fiscal year. This
overrun must be off -set by an equivalent underrun elsewhere in the Project Budget.
2. If the overrun is five (5) percent or less, the Subgrantee must provide written notification
to the Department, through the TxDOT Electronic Grants Management System
(eGrants), prior to the Request for Reimbursement being approved. The notification
must indicate the amount, the percent over, and the specific reason(s) for the overrun.
3. Any overrun of more than five (5) percent of the amount eligible for reimbursement
(TxDOT) in the attached Project Budget requires an amendment of this Grant
Agreement.
4. The maximum amount eligible for reimbursement shall not be increased above the
Grand Total TxDOT Amount in the approved Project Budget, unless this Grant
Agreement is amended, as described in Article 5 of this agreement.
5. For Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grants only: In the Project Budget,
Subgrantees are not allowed to use underrun funds from the TxDOT amount of (100)
Salaries, Subcategories A, "Enforcement," or B, "PI&E Activities," to exceed the
TxDOT amount listed in Subcategory C, "Other." Also, Subgrantees are not allowed to
use underrun funds from the TxDOT amount of (100) Salaries, Subcategories A,
"Enforcement," or C, "Other," to exceed the TxDOT amount listed in Subcategory B,
"PI&E Activities." The TxDOT amount for Subcategory B, "PI&E Activities," or C,
"Other," can only be exceeded within the five (5) percent flexibility, with underrun funds
from Budget Categories II or III.
C. To be eligible for reimbursement under this agreement, a cost must be incurred in
accordance with the Project Budget, within the time frame specified in the Grant Period of
this Grant Agreement, attributable to work covered by this agreement, and which has been
completed in a manner satisfactory and acceptable to the Department.
D. Federal or TxDOT funds cannot supplant (replace) funds from any other sources. The term
"supplanting," refers to the use of federal or TxDOT funds to support personnel or an activity
already supported by local or state funds.
E. Payment of costs incurred under this agreement is further governed by the cost principles
2017-LubbockP-G-1YG-0157 Printed On: 9/28/2016 Page 5 of 42
City of Lubbock - Parks & Recreation
General-2017
outlined in 2 CFR Part 200.
F. The Subgrantee agrees to submit monthly Requests for Reimbursement, as designated in
this Grant Agreement, within thirty (30) days after the end of the billing period. The Request
for Reimbursement and appropriate supporting documentation must be submitted through
eGrants.
G. The Subgrantee agrees to submit the final Request for Reimbursement under this
agreement within forty-five (45) days of the end of the grant period.
H. Payments are contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds.
I. Project agreements supported with federal or TxDOT funds are limited to the length of this
Grant Period specified in this Grant Agreement. If the Department determines that the
project has demonstrated merit or has potential long-range benefits, the Subgrantee may
apply for funding assistance beyond the initial agreement period.
Preference for funding will be given to projects based on (1) proposed cost sharing and (2)
demonstrated performance history.
ARTICLE 4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Payment of costs incurred under this agreement is contingent upon the availability of funds. If at
any time during this Grant Period, the Department determines that there is insufficient funding
to continue the project, the Department shall notify the Subgrantee, giving notice of intent to
terminate this agreement, as specified in Article 11 of this agreement. If at the end of a federal
fiscal year, the Department determines that there is sufficient funding and performance to
continue the project, the Department may notify the Subgrantee to continue this agreement.
ARTICLE 5. AMENDMENTS
This agreement may be amended prior to its expiration by mutual written consent of both
parties, utilizing the Grant Agreement Amendment in eGrants. Any amendment must be
executed by the parties within the Grant Period, as specified in this Grant Agreement.
ARTICLE 6. ADDITIONAL WORK AND CHANGES IN WORK
A. If the Subgrantee is of the opinion that any assigned work is beyond the scope of this
agreement and constitutes additional work, the Subgrantee shall promptly notify the
Department in writing through eGrants. If the Department finds that such work does
constitute additional work, the Department shall advise the Subgrantee and a written
amendment to this agreement will be executed according to Article 5, Amendments, to
provide compensation for doing this work on the same basis as the original work. If
performance of the additional work will cause the maximum amount payable to be
exceeded, the work will not be performed before a written grant amendment is executed.
B. If the Subgrantee has submitted work in accordance with the terms of this agreement but
the Department requests changes to the completed work or parts of the work which involve
changes to the original scope of services or character of work under this agreement, the
Subgrantee shall make those revisions as requested and directed by the Department. This
will be considered as additional work and will be paid for as specified in this Article.

the work into compliance with this agreement. No additional compensation shall be paid for
this work.
D. The Subgrantee shall make revisions to the work authorized in this agreement that are
necessary to correct errors or omissions, when required to do so by the Department. No
additional compensation shall be paid for this work.
E. The Department shall not be responsible for actions by the Subgrantee or any costs
incurred by the Subgrantee relating to additional work not directly associated with or prior
to the execution of an amendment.
ARTICLE 7. REPORTING AND MONITORING
A. Not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each reporting period, the Subgrantee shall
submit a performance report through eGrants. Reporting periods vary by project duration
and are defined as follows:

overruns, or high unit costs.
C. The Subgrantee shall promptly advise the Department in writing, through eGrants, of events
that will have a significant impact upon this agreement, including:
1. Problems, delays, or adverse conditions, including a change of project director or other
changes in Subgrantee personnel, that will materially affect the ability to attain
objectives and performance measures, prevent the meeting of time schedules and
objectives, or preclude the attainment of project objectives or performance measures by
the established time periods. This disclosure shall be accompanied by a statement of
the action taken or contemplated and any Department or federal assistance needed to
resolve the situation.
2. Favorable developments or events that enable meeting time schedules and objectives
sooner than anticipated or achieving greater performance measure output than
originally projected.

time period authorized within the Grant Period, as specified in this Grant Agreement. The
Subgrantee further agrees to retain the Records for four (4) years from the date of final

completely and fully resolved, whichever occurs last.
Duly authorized representatives of the Department, the USDOT, the Office of the Inspector

and save harmless the Department from any and all expenses, including but not limited to
attorney fees, all court costs and awards for damages incurred by the Department in
litigation or otherwise resisting claims or liabilities as a result of any activities of the
Subgrantee, its agents, or employees.
B. To the extent permitted by law, the Subgrantee, if other than a government entity, agrees to
protect, indemnify, and save harmless the Department from and against all claims,
demands, and causes of action of every kind and character brought by any employee of the
Subgrantee against the Department due to personal injuries to or death of any employee
resulting from any alleged negligent act, by either commission or omission on the part of
the Subgrantee.
C. If the Subgrantee is a government entity, both parties to this agreement agree that no party

for its individual acts and deeds, as well as the acts and deeds of its contractors,
employees, representatives, and agents.

Disputes concerning performance or payment shall be submitted to the Department for
settlement, with the Executive Director or his or her designee acting as final referee.

during the Grant Period specified in this Grant Agreement that are directly attributable to
the completed portion of the work covered by this agreement, provided that the work has

Subgrantee shall not incur nor be reimbursed for any new obligations after the effective
date of termination.
ARTICLE 12. INSPECTION OF WORK

authorized representatives, have the right at all reasonable times to inspect or otherwise
evaluate the work performed or being performed under this agreement and the premises in

subcontractor, the Subgrantee shall provide and require its subcontractor to provide all
reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of the inspectors in the

that will not unduly delay the work.
ARTICLE 13. AUDIT
The state auditor may conduct an audit or investigation of any entity receiving funds from the
state directly under this agreement or indirectly through a subcontract under this agreement.

agreement, and that it has not paid or agreed to pay any company or person, other than a bona

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND SOLUTION
I.Problem Identification
According to the Texas Motor Vehicle Traffic Crash Highlights, Texas roadways experienced a 2.16%
increase in fatality rate in 2014. Total fatalities increased 3.7% in the state. Lubbock and surrounding
counties are a major contributor to the trends shown in state wide data. These topics are data driven topics
for points of education and enforcement among the populations served in the South Plains: pedestrian and
cycling education, alcohol and drug use education, occupant safety, motorcycle safety including the use of
helmets, school bus safety, addressing driver education and behavior, education on speed control, and
railroad safety. Among all individuals regardless of age, pedestrian and cycling safety is important to all
communities in aspects of health and traffic safety. Texas experienced a 1.4% increase in pedestrian
fatalities in 2014 as well as a 4.2% fatality increase in cycling in 2014 from the previous year. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Association reported Lubbock as ranking number 11 for state pedestrian fatality
rates per 100,000 population in 2013. This increase may put Texas into the top ten states for fatality rates
per 100,000 population for the year 2014. Lubbock and surrounding counties contributed to 11 of those
fatalities with 9 of those being pedestrians in Lubbock proper. Lubbock also experienced an increase in
cycling fatalities from 2013 with one fatality. In addition to pedestrian and cycling education to reduce the
risk of injury or death comes the other topic for immediate response, alcohol and drug impairment while
operating a vehicle. The total number of DLJI for the program area totaled over 470 (TXDOT 2015). Of
those, 365 happened in Lubbock County alone. This places Lubbock as the 13th county for most DLJI
related crashes in Texas. Texas itself has reported a total numbers of drug involved crashes to over 3,500.
2013 saw a total of 48 deaths in the South Plains area as a result of total crashes. 29% of those deaths
involved unrestrained occupants. NHTSA reports for all crashes for Lubbock and surrounding counties to
have almost doubled in 2014 with a total of 75 deaths. Almost half of those deaths involved unrestrained
occupants. While overall motorcycle crashes have reduced from 2013 to 2014 totals, the percentage of
unhelmeted motorcyclist fatalities remains the same. Texas saw a total of 450 Motorcycle fatalities in 2014
according to the NHTSA, of those 450 fatalities 234 of those were from motorcyclists not wearing a
helmet. While the reduction in fatalities is good news the actuality of Lubbock County's fatalities is over half
of motorcycle fatalities were from unhelmeted motorcyclist. From 2004 to 2013, there were 1,344 people
killed in school -transportation -related crashes, an average of 134 fatalities per year. Occupants of school
transportation vehicles accounted for 8 percent of the fatalities, and nonoccupants accounted for 21 % of
the fatalities (NHTSA Traffic Safety Facts 2013-2014). This fact along with a strong desire to educate
children on all safe road practices provide cause to educate the public on how to properly load and unload
school busses and for children to be more cognizant of increased traffic during peak traffic hours.
Distracted driving is a giant concern for Lubbock and the surrounding counties were the Texas State Child
Fatality Review Annual Report 2013, states distracted driving accounted for 6% of all motor vehicle
fatalities. According to the report 77% of the fatalities reviewed could have been prevented. There were a
total of 3,283 motor vehicle crashes in which mobile phone use was a contributing factor. The top age
group represented in the total number of traffic crashes caused by distracted driving is the 16-24 year old
age group with 28,443 crashes out of the 94,943 total for 2013. Distracted driving resulted in more than
480 fatalities, a 4% increase from 2013, according to Texas Motor Vehicle Traffic Crash Highlights
reported by TXDOT 2015.Throughout the South Plains, 612 crashes were the result of speeding (TXDOT
2015). Lubbock County alone experienced 358 of those crashes. Of the 48 total fatal crashes in Lubbock
County 40% of those were a result of speeding. The majority of all crashes involving injuries or fatalities
were from ages 15-24 (TXDOT, 2015). Tragically, over the past ten years, more than 844 children under
the age of 16 were killed and nearly 2864 children were injured at railroad crossings and on railroad
property (NHTSA, Railroad Safety Fact Sheet).

H.Problem Solution
Safety City is a miniature town with working traffic lights, cross walks, overpasses. school zone, and
railroad crossing. This 2 % acre site is a place in which school age youth and adults alike can learn real -
world experience in a safe and controlled setting. Safety City currently provides pedestrian, bicycle,
distracted and impaired driving education, railroad education, speeding education, occupant protection and
proper restraint protocols, and general traffic safety to at risk populations including youth ages 0-24.
Students get hands on training to experience the techniques needed to drive/walk/ride in a city safely.
Research provided by NHTSA's Child Pedestrian Safety Education: Applying Learning and Developmental
Theories to Develop Safe Street -Crossing Behaviors, insists that behaviors are a motor skill. This means
that the behavior of any one of the equation elements provided above or any of the problems addressed in
the previous section need to have a practical application portion. According to the report, the incorporation
of motor skill acquisition should be enough to make the motor actions automatic;"Once motor skills are
automatic, there is increased mental capacity for problem solving and decision making." To continue the
efforts of Safety City's goal of modeling and providing education to the South Plains, it is necessary to
branch outside of the Lubbock County into the smaller more rural areas that are facing the same safety
challenges with smaller resources. The goal is to provide high schools with education about distracted and
impaired driving by traveling to schools during peak incident times for these age groups including holidays,
prom, and graduation. Traveling to these areas with already purchased pedal cars, impaired goggles, and
distracted driving activities and curriculum, we are able to work with already enforced topics in schools to
provide hands on training to educate students not only on the hazards of driving while distracted or
impaired but the possible consequences for those behaviors as well. This age group is also a majority of
drivers associated with non -helmeted motorcycle crashes. Therefore addressing these issues while we are
there aids in promoting all types of safe driver information and potential dangers and consequences to help
bring down those statistics. Driver education material can be distributed and hands on activities conducted
for the students to really experience the motives behind the message are important to the overall mission of
Safety City. Young adult populations will be reached by creating alliances with the local colleges and
universities and participating in already established events during peak incident times for that population as
well including beginning of school, holidays, spring break, and graduation. While providing preventative
programming is important it is also imperative to provide more positive programming as an alternative to
risky behaviors in high risk populations such as teens. Safety City will address this issue by creating teen
specific events to be held at least once a year to help provide fun activities in a safe environment.
Safety City's program is also invested in addressing the basic issues on which it was founded, education on
safe pedestrian and cycling for youth through college age students. One of the initiatives of Safety City is to
be a one stop safety shop for all of the South Plains to provide a place where community partners can
come together. Safety City has already formed alliances with the Lubbock Fire Department partnering with
their paramedics and fire prevention specialist to provide fire education as well as show students the
equipment used when responding to emergencies and the types of things students may experience in
traumatic situations such as a crash. Working with other agencies will provide more experiences for our
students and allow them to experience different situations and know behaviorally how to respond to help
first respondents and themselves. Many organizations are targeting the same populations for similar reasons
such as LPD working with second graders to provide cyber predator education or anti -bullying campaigns.
Together we can reach the same population at the same time and save energy and resources for the school
and for each working organization.
M.Project Evaluation
In order to measure the success of practical training aspects of traffic safety, classroom evaluations will be
distributed to teachers and volunteers who accompany classes and groups to Safety City.
