BETWEEN THE
STATE OF WISCONSIN
AND THE
CITY OF OSHKOSH
This Contract is made by and between the State of Wisconsin, Department of Transportation,
hereinafter referred to as "Department" and the City of Oshkosh, hereinafter referred to as "Recipient."
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Department is authorized by section 85.20 (3)(d), Wisconsin Statutes, to apply for and
receive federal grants on behalf of eligible recipients. The purpose of this program is to promote the
general public good by providing financial assistance to surface public transportation systems. The
Recipient has requested funds to assist in financing capital purchases under this program. The
Department agrees to provide financial assistance with program monies made available under Section
5309 of the Federal Transit Act, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Contract.
In consideration of the reciprocal promises expressed in this Contract, the Department and the
Recipient agree as follows:
Article I: Payment by the Department
A. Payment under the terms of this Contract is based on 49 U.S.C.S. S1601 et. seq. (Section 5309
of the Federal Transit Act), which specifies that capital assistance grants may not exceed eighty
percent (80%) of the total capital costs, except for equipment required by the Americans with
Disabilities Act or the Clean Air Act, for which the grant may not exceed 90% of the total
project costs.
B. The Department agrees to pay the Recipient $110,000.00, or 80% (90% for ADA or CAA
mandated equipment) of the purchase price, whichever is less of the items specified in
Attachment A, Project Budget. The costs eligible for assistance shall be limited to those
specified in Attachment A, project budget.
C. The Department shall make payment to the Recipient upon receipt of invoices prepared by the
manufacturer or dealer showing the actual costs of purchased equipment or in the case of a
construction project, upon receipt of invoices in accordance with the payment schedule as
specified in the construction contract.
D. If the Department's audit establishes that payment to the Recipient under the terms of this
Contract has exceeded the allowable maximum as defined in Article I.B., the Recipient shall
refund to the Department upon demand a sum sufficient to reduce the payment to comply with
Article I.B of this Contract.
E. Consistent with Articles I.B and notwithstanding other provisions of this contract, the
Department may reduce the payments otherwise due under paragraph B of this article. The
WI-04-0009
Department under this paragraph may reduce those payments only by an amount equal to any
overpayments made to Recipient under this Contract or under any prior capital assistance
contract. The Department may determine the amount of any such overpayment by conducting
an audit under Article IV. If the Department finds an overpayment, the Department may
thereafter set off that overpayment against the amount payable to Recipient under paragraph B
of this article until the amount payable under paragraph B of this article equals the
overpayment. Hence, until total payment due under paragraph B of this article equals the
overpayment, no payments under paragraph B of this article shall be made; after total payment
due under paragraph B of this article exceeds the overpayment, then that portion of the total
payment due under paragraph B that exceeds the overpayment shall be paid to Recipient.
Article II: Responsibility of Recipient
A. The purchase of all equipment and facilities financed pursuant to this Contract shall be
undertaken by the Recipient and shall be in accordance with applicable state and Federal laws
and regulations. The Master Agreement between the State of Wisconsin and the Federal
Transit Administration contains all required clauses that should be included in agreement
between the State of Wisconsin and the Recipient and said Master Agreement is therefore
included in this agreement by reference.
B. The Recipient shall complete all projects included in this contract within a period of one (1)
year from the date of execution of the contract. If the Recipient fails to complete a given
project(s) within the one (1) year period, the Department shall take necessary actions to

funds may be reassigned to other subrecipients within the same capital grant cycle or
surrendered to the federal government.

use and disposition of the project equipment and rolling stock set forth herein. Copies of title
documents must be filed with the Bureau of Transit and Local Roads as soon as possible.
D. The Recipient may not execute any transfer of title, lease, lien, pledge, mortgage, encumbrance,
contract, grant anticipation note, alienation, or other obligation that in any way affects the
Federal interest in any project real property or equipment, nor may the Recipient obligate itself,
in any other manner, to any third party with respect to project real property or equipment, unless
such transfer of title, lease, lien, pledge, mortgage, encumbrance, contract, grant anticipation
note, alienation, or other obligation is expressly authorized in writing by the Department; nor
may the Recipient, by any act or omission, adversely affect the Federal interest or impair the
Recipient's continuing control over the use of project real property or equipment.
E. The Recipient agrees that the project equipment and rolling stock shall only be used for the
provision of transportation service to the general public and rolling stock shall be clearly
marked for public use. The Recipient shall keep satisfactory records with regard to the use of

of equipment, facilities, rolling stock, title transfer, or lease to another agency.
