They describe the work to be done for the continuing transportation planning process for FY 2006, and will serve as the basis for funding within the fiscal year. The development of a Unified Work Program, as described in the 23 CFR, Part 450 and 49 CFR, Part 613, is to serve as a means to promote the integration of modal planning coordination and to relate these activities to comprehensive planning. During the development of the FY 2006 Unified Work Program, a priority setting process was used to identify programs and projects that should be included in the work program. Participants in this process included the MAPA Council of Officials, MAPA Board of Directors and their • technical advisory committees. Results of this process are reflected by the projects in this work program and the associated funding levels. Participants in the transportation planning activities are outlined in the MAPA Interlocal Agreement and committee Operating Rules. The Transportation Technical Advisory Committee provides the direction for the development of the UWP and monitors progress of the work. ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT MAPA is designated as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)for the Omaha-Council Bluffs urban area. The MAPA Council of Officials is the overall policy body for agency with the Board of Directors providing guidance for all MAPA projects, studies and programs. In addition, committees have been organized to provide technical advice. (See Appendix II for listing of Transportation Policy and Technical Committees). The relationship, responsibility and composition of the MAPA Council of Officials and Board of Directors and their committees are also described in the MAPA Interlocal Agreement and committee Operating Rules.

Personnel accounted for under direct personnel costs are included in Schedule A. Direct Non-Personnel Costs are the cost of non-personnel items or service clearly incurred by specific projects. Direct non-personnel costs include project related items such as contracted services, project report publishing, and reproductions, travel, reference materials, staff development, long-distance telephone calls, postage, memberships, public notices, data processing, forums, and other costs similarly identifiable to specific projects. (See Schedule B). Indirect Personnel Costs are gross costs of all personnel that are not directly assigned to specific projects but rather are signed to support all project activities. Personnel accounted for under indirect personnel costs are included in Schedule C. Indirect Non-personnel Costs are the costs of all non-personnel items or services that are not directly attributed to specific projects but rather are attributed to overall operations of the agency including all projects. Indirect non-personnel costs include such administrative items as office rent, equipment rent/maintenance, base telephone, audit, depreciation, insurance/bonds, office supplies, agency annual meeting, and other such costs similarly attributed to total agency and all project support. (See Schedule D). In-kind services will be treated as a direct expense to those projects directly benefiting from this service. An hourly rate that is consistent with regular rates paid for similar work will be used to determine the value of personal services. Travel and supplies contributed must be valued, per MAPA Administrative Policy and Procedures. (See Schedule E). 3 I COST ALLOCATION TO PROJECTS Each project that is active during the fiscal year receives an allocation of costs on a monthly (*) basis as follows: A. Direct personnel costs for the month B. Direct non-personnel costs for the month C. A share of all indirect costs for the month The monthly share of indirect costs charged to each project is determined by the ratio of each respective project's direct personnel costs relative to the total direct personnel costs of all projects. 4 • SUPPORTING DATA Attached hereto are the following schedules, which clarify all cost items, included in the MAPA Cost Allocation Plan: Schedule A - Direct Personnel Schedule B - Direct Non-Personnel Schedule C - Indirect Personnel Schedule D - Indirect Non-Personnel Schedule E - In-Kind Services NOTE (*) - Exceptions 1.
