These grants support both rural and urban transit operations and infrastructure, ensuring the County can maintain, operate, and expand its transportation services to meet current and future needs . Combined Capital Program (FY2027) The Combined Capital Grant provides financial assistance for the replacement of public transportation vehicles and other capital needs . This program utilizes federal funds from Sections 5311, 5307, and 5339, enabling community transportation systems like Union County Transportation to consolidate their capital needs into one application . The Page 4 of 14 5 Board of Commissioners Meeting Agenda September 15, 2025 funding will reimburse costs for replacement vehicles that have met NCDOT’s useful life threshold of 100,000 miles, including conversion vans, lift vans, minivans, and Light Transit Vehicles (LTVs).

This funding will be used for both operating expenses, which require a 50% local match, and capital expenses, which require a 20% local match. The 5307 Grant will result in an award of Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2023, (FFY) 2024, and (FFY) 2025 Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) funds to Union County. Funds awarded during a given fiscal year are initially allocated for a one-year period of performance, but this may be extended if necessary to enable them to be drawn down over a five-year period after the start of the federal fiscal year of the award . Thus, funds awarded for the : ·FFY23 5307 applications can be drawn down through June 30, 2028. ·FFY24 5307 applications can be drawn down through June 30, 2029. ·FFY25 5307 applications can be drawn down through June 30, 2030.

The Readiness Path of this grant program provides funding through capacity building and strategic planning projects that set the stage for future investment . Recently, Union County established an independent, county-level economic development authority . This was a major transition from the previous joint economic development structure with the City of Monroe . This strategic shift creates a timely opportunity to define a clear vision and actionable direction for the county ’s economic future. The proposed project deliverables include a five-year strategic economic development plan and a pre-disaster economic recovery plan . The five-year strategic economic development plan will align with the Centralina Economic Development District ’s regional CEDS (Prosperity for All: 2022-2027), while focusing specifically on Union County ’s unique assets, needs, and post-disaster realities. The plan will be developed through an inclusive, data-driven process and will serve as a foundation for future EDA Implementation Path or Industry Transformation Path funding, which are additional opportunities through this same grant program. The pre-disaster economic recovery plan provides a roadmap for how the County would support businesses, workers, and the overall economy following a disaster. This plan helps to ensure that the economic health of the community is resilient and safeguards the tax base and long-term prosperity of the community.

TASK ORDER NUMBER: 8678-03 RELATED RFQ NUMBER: 2024-024 PROJECT NAME: Waxhaw South Sanitary Sewer Replacement & Rehabilitation Final Design PART 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The ENGINEER was retained by the OWNER under Task Order 2021-01 to provide preliminary design services for the replacement of the OWNER’s small diameter “septic tank effluent gravity” (STEG, or “grey water”) sanitary sewer system in Waxhaw, NC. The OWNER has requested this Task Order 8678-03 from the ENGINEER to complete the design for the portion of the sanitary sewer system located South of the CSX railroad in downtown Waxhaw and to provide associated permitting and bidding services for the project. As determined through the deliverables provided under Task Order 2021-01, and previous analysis and planning efforts, the final design will consist of replacing approximately 4,210 linear feet of 4-inch and 3,480 linear feet of 6-inch sewer mains with 8-inch sewer mains. The method of construction for the replacement will be investigated and recommended through preliminary engineering efforts and associated deliverables outlined herein. The ENGINEER shall provide the scope of services outlined by the following phases for the fees listed herein. 05 (all references to Task Order 8678-03 herein shall be deemed to refer to Task Order 8678-05)Int _______ 20 TASK ORDER: 8678-03 – Waxhaw South Sanitary Sewer Replacement & Rehabilitation Final Design Page 2 PART 2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES The detailed scope of services for Basic Services is as follows: Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Inspection The ENGINEER will provide CCTV inspection of the existing sanitary sewers on an as needed basis. This service will be utilized as a means of investigation of select portions of the existing gravity sewer system in any scenario where pipeline configuration, alignments, and/or conditions need to be clarified to complete the final design of the project. Scenarios requiring CCTV investigations may include, but are not limited to, gravity sewers in alignments that are not determinable via other available information, location of manholes that are paved over, buried, or under structures, service laterals (connecting to manholes) that contain multiple taps or serve multiple properties, or pipelines located in areas with unique surface restoration considerations. It is anticipated that only a small subset of the existing pipelines will warrant further investigation via CCTV. ENGINEER’s CCTV subconsultant will provide a crew equipped to conduct cleaning and CCTV operations at the direction of the ENGINEER on an hourly, not to exceed basis for up to three (3) ten (10) hour days, including mobilization. CCTV inspections will include the following: 2.1 Traffic control related to CCTV collection services only; 2.2 Pipeline cleaning (if needed) and CCTV of existing gravity sewer pipelines; 2.2.1 CCTV of pipelines with diameters of 6-inches or greater will be conducted utilizing crawler type CCTV camera technology and associated methods. 2.2.2 CCTV of pipelines with diameters less than 6-inches will be conducted using push camera technology and associated methods, and; 2.3 NASSCO certified reports (in PDF format) and digital video of CCTV. Preliminary Engineering As outlined above, the project will replace the existing “septic tank effluent gravity” (STEG) sewer system, which consists of small diameter (4 and 6-inch) gravity sewer pipelines, with 8- inch diameter pipelines. This means the system will be upgraded to meet the current minimum State mandated allowable pipeline diameter for a public wastewater collection system. Replacement of an existing gravity sewer system within its existing alignment can be achieved by conventional open-cut construction methods, or by pipe bursting. Pipe bursting is a semi- trenchless pipe replacement technology that allows for the replacement and/or upsizing of existing pipelines with reduced trenching, surface impacts, and associated restoration 21 TASK ORDER: 8678-03 – Waxhaw South Sanitary Sewer Replacement & Rehabilitation Final Design Page 3 compared to open cut methods. ENGINEER will evaluate the implications of both construction methods and provide a comparative cost analysis, along with a recommended construction method. Preliminary engineering services and deliverables include the following: 2.4 Review and inventory Task Order 2021-01 deliverables, which include the preliminary (30% complete) drawings, quantity takeoff, and associated opinions of probable construction cost (OPCs). 2.5 Updated OPCs for each construction method, yielding an OPC for open-cut construction and pipe bursting methods, reflective of current market conditions. 2.6 Regulatory outreach to gauge the acceptability of open-cut construction methods within the project area. 2.7 Technical memorandum presenting the analysis and results of the preliminary engineering effort, and the recommended construction method. Field Survey Services and Base Mapping The project area was surveyed during the preliminary engineering and design efforts provided under Task Order 2021-01. However, given the age of that data, ENGINEER anticipates some changes in field conditions and/or design approach that may require additional survey. Therefore, included herein are limited field survey and mapping services to be provided on an as-needed basis. The survey services proposed herein are budgeted on a time and materials basis with hourly not to exceed billing terms, for an hourly crew rate. Services of this Phase will be billed accordingly on an hourly, not-to-exceed (NTE) basis. The survey crew rate is $280 per hour, and ENGINEER has budgeted for up to forty (40) hours of survey crew time and associated deliverables on the project. Hourly survey services consist of the following: 2.8 Two-person field survey crew, including mobilization, 2.9 CAD support for Processing and CAD production of associated deliverable(s), 2.10 PLS supervision for review, QA/QC, and certification. If needed, and provided herein, field survey and base mapping activities shall be suitable for design of the proposed gravity sewer replacements. The survey shall include sufficient data to produce a digital topographic corridor base map with contours at a minimum of 1-foot intervals. The base mapping will include the following data and/or parameters: 2.11 Horizontal datum based on NAD 83 and vertical datum will be based on NAVD 29. Utilizing project control, a baseline with inter-visible points will be established within the mapping limits of the project.

Easement Acquisition (if applicable) 25 TASK ORDER: 8678-03 – Waxhaw South Sanitary Sewer Replacement & Rehabilitation Final Design Page 7 This project includes the replacement of existing gravity sewer pipelines and manholes, primarily, in their current alignment. Therefore, the project will predominantly be constructed within existing easements and rights-of-way. However, new easements will be obtained where needed. To assist with new easements, as necessary, the ENGINEER’s professional survey sub- consultant will prepare survey maps of the proposed new easements to be acquired. To efficiently prepare the maps of the proposed easements, the OWNER and the ENGINEER will work together as the project evolves and develops. The ENGINEER is not responsible for obtaining easements, rather the OWNER, OWNER’s representative, or property owner pursuant to the OWNER’s procedures, is responsible for obtaining easements. Upon completion of property deed research, the field surveying of the portions of the properties of the project area and the preliminary engineering of the Project, including the establishment of any underground utility locations, the ENGINEER will identify the potential locations of the easements required for the Project. The OWNER and the ENGINEER will meet to review the preliminary engineering and potential easements. The OWNER and the ENGINEER will determine if any changes will be needed to the project or the proposed easements. Upon the OWNER approving the easement needs and the ENGINEER receiving authorization from the OWNER to prepare the surveys of the potential easements, the ENGINEER’s sub-consultant will start the preparation of the surveys for the easements exhibits for the Project. The OWNER will compensate the ENGINEER for preparing the easement maps on the per-easement unit cost basis, as described below and in Part 6.0 and Attachment A, as referenced and incorporated herein, of this task order. If the number of required easements increases to more than the number included in this task order, additional easements will need to be added to the task order by amendment as an additional service. Utilizing the finalized design plans prepared by the ENGINEER, the ENGINEER’s professional survey subconsultant will prepare and submit to the OWNER an easement map for each affected property for the OWNER to use to begin obtaining the required easements for the Project. The ENGINEER’s subconsultant will prepare the easement maps in accordance with the OWNER provided standards. The OWNER intends to acquire easements only where gravity sewer pipelines are being relocated and/or extended beyond their existing alignments and associated easements and/or outside the limits of the existing rights-of-way. Based upon review of the preliminary design deliverables and the current conditions of the project area, no new easement needs have been identified for this project. However, there are known scenarios where existing gravity sewer lines and manholes are located within existing building footprints. These scenarios will likely require sewer relocations and/or extensions, the extents of which will be evaluated and determined in the final design process. Based thereon, this task order includes easement exhibits 26 TASK ORDER: 8678-03 – Waxhaw South Sanitary Sewer Replacement & Rehabilitation Final Design Page 8 and associated field property boundary confirmation efforts for up to five (5) parcels. Services under the easement acquisition phase will be used only if necessary and billed on a not-to-exceed (NTE) basis, as outlined in Part 6 and Attachment A , as referenced and incorporated herein, of this task order. The general requirements for the easement maps shall be as follows: 2.20 Easement maps will comply with the rules set forth by the NC Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors and the NC mapping law; 2.21 Easement maps will be an exhibit to the easement agreements to be prepared by the OWNER and will be prepared on 8.5”x11” sized paper. (8.5”x14” may be utilized if necessary, based on scale/size of the subject parcel); 2.22 All easement maps shall have a general vicinity map, which shall identify the general location of the parcels where the easement(s) shall be proposed; 2.23 All easement maps shall have distinct line types for the easement lines, which will define the easement(s) location(s) on each parcel; 2.24 All easement maps will identify the applicable jurisdictional boundaries; 2.25 Each parcel requiring an easement will be identified with a parcel identification number for reference to the agreement to be prepared by the OWNER’s attorney; 2.26 One digital copy in PDF format of the easement maps will be provided to the OWNER for use in obtaining the easements; 2.27 All easement plats shall be sealed by a Professional Surveyor, licensed in the project jurisdiction; 2.28 The OWNER will review the form and format of the proposed easement maps for compliance with recording requirements at the county register of deeds; 2.29 The OWNER shall be responsible for negotiating the easements with property owners; and, 2.30 The OWNER shall record the easement documents and return one (1) electronic (PDF) copy to the ENGINEER for our records Permitting Utilizing the 90% design plans, ENGINEER will prepare and submit applications for the permits necessary to allow for construction of the project. The ENGINEER cannot guarantee any regulatory approval or a timeframe in which that approval might be granted. The OWNER should be aware that significant delays can occur during regulatory review, and those delays may impact project schedule and scope of work.

September 2, 2025, Regular Meeting, Agenda Item # 25-535 - Conducted Public Hearing - FFY23, 24, & 25 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Funding Grant Application. BACKGROUND: Union County is seeking funding through three federal grant programs-Combined Capital, 5311 Administrative, and 5307 Urbanized Area Formula-to support the continued provision of public transportation services that are accessible to the general public on a regular and ongoing basis. These grants support both rural and urban transit operations and infrastructure, ensuring the County can maintain, operate, and expand its transportation services to meet current and future needs. Combined Capital Program (FY2027) The Combined Capital Grant provides financial assistance for the replacement of public transportation vehicles and other capital needs. This program utilizes federal funds from Sections 5311, 5307, and 5339, enabling community transportation systems like Union County Transportation to consolidate their capital needs into one application. The funding will reimburse costs for replacement vehicles that have met NCDOT’s useful life threshold of 100,000 miles, including conversion vans, lift vans, minivans, and Light Transit Vehicles (LTVs). It also covers other capital expenditures such as required NCDOT vehicle lettering, radio equipment, and bi-fuel conversions. Union County, NC Printed on 9/10/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™36 File #:25-556 Agenda Date:9/15/2025 For FY2027, Union County is requesting funding for the replacement of three (3) 22’ LTVs with wheelchair lifts, totaling $427,701. The breakdown includes: ·Federal Share (80%): $342,160 ·Local Share (up to 20%): $85,541 o If State funding (10%) of $42,770 is awarded, the local share would be reduced to $42,771. The application is due October 6, 2025, and covers the performance period from July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027. Vehicles will be procured via North Carolina State contracts or in accordance with applicable procurement laws. 5311 Administrative Grant (FY2027) The 5311 Administrative Grant, under the Non-Urbanized Area Formula Program, supports administrative costs related to public transportation in rural areas. Funds are used for planning activities, administrative personnel, compliance, and coordination with other transit services. Union County's application does not include operational funding and is solely for administrative expenses. For FY2027, Union County is requesting $276,529, with the following cost share: ·Federal Share (80%): $221,223 ·State Share (estimated 5%): $13,826 ·Local Share (15%): $41,480 o If State funds are unavailable, the local share would increase to 20% ($55,306). The grant performance period is July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027, and the application will be reviewed and recommended for funding by the County’s NCDOT Mobility Specialist and the NC Board of Transportation. 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Program (FFY23-FFY25) The 5307 Program provides capital and operating assistance for transit services in urbanized areas. Eligible expenses include operations, planning, preventive maintenance, paratransit services, security and safety upgrades, and facility improvements. Union County, as part of the Charlotte urbanized area, receives 5307 funding through a regional formula established by the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) and approved by the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO). Based on the current distribution formula Union County will receive up to: ·$2,041,740 in Federal 5307 funds from FFY23. ·$2,353,090 in Federal 5307 funds from FFY24. ·$2,402,267 in Federal 5307 funds from FFY25. This funding will be used for both operating expenses, which require a 50% local match, and capital expenses, which require a 20% local match. The 5307 Grant will result in an award of Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2023, (FFY) 2024, and (FFY) Union County, NC Printed on 9/10/2025Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™37 File #:25-556 Agenda Date:9/15/2025 2025 Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) funds to Union County. Funds awarded during a given fiscal year are initially allocated for a one-year period of performance, but this may be extended if necessary to enable them to be drawn down over a five-year period after the start of the federal fiscal year of the award. Thus, funds awarded for the: ·FFY23 5307 applications can be drawn down through June 30, 2028. ·FFY24 5307 applications can be drawn down through June 30, 2029. ·FFY25 5307 applications can be drawn down through June 30, 2030. In Union County, 5307 operational-related services are currently provided using demand response, subscription, and contracted fixed-route service. These services are rendered by Union County Transportation, or its subcontractors, and CATS. Union County’s Transportation and Planning staff have developed a list of activities for these funds, which include paying 50 percent of the cost of the existing Union County 74X Express bus service and provision of demand-response service in the urbanized portions of the County. The funding allocated for capital-related items will be utilized for the purchase of security-related items as required by the 1% security minimum requirement, safety- related items as required by the 0.75% safety minimum, and for facility renovations.

PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS: None. BACKGROUND: The EDA FY 2025 Disaster Supplemental Grant Program supports economic recovery activities in areas that received major disaster declarations in calendar years 2023-2024. The Readiness Path of this grant program provides funding through capacity building and strategic planning projects that set the stage for future investment. Recently, Union County established an independent, county-level economic development authority. This was a major transition from the previous joint economic development structure with the City of Monroe. This strategic shift creates a timely opportunity to define a clear vision and actionable direction for the county’s economic future. The proposed project deliverables include a five-year strategic economic development plan and a pre -disaster economic recovery plan. The five-year strategic economic development plan will align with the Centralina Economic Development District’s regional CEDS (Prosperity for All: 2022-2027), while focusing specifically on Union County’s unique assets, needs, and post-disaster realities. The plan will be developed through an inclusive, data-driven process and will serve as a foundation for future EDA Implementation Path or Industry Transformation Path funding, which are additional opportunities through this same grant program. The pre-disaster economic recovery plan provides a roadmap for how the County would support businesses, workers, and the overall economy following a disaster. This plan helps to ensure that the economic health of the community is resilient and safeguards the tax base and long-term prosperity Union County, NC Printed on 9/10/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™70 File #:25-563 Agenda Date:9/15/2025 of the community.
