Subject: Your BVP Application for Funding has been Approved
1999 Application Approval
Partial Funding
The Bureau of Justice Assistance(BJA) is pleased to inform you that
your application for funding under the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant
Act of 1998 has been approved. The approved Federal share for your
jurisdiction, OMAHA CITY, is: $ 10000.00
Partial Funding: Based upon the results of initial applications, available resources may not be
sufficient to cover all requests this year. Therefore, partial funding is being provided to ensure
that your jurisdiction receives a portion of the requested funds as soon as possible. Payment
levels were established using jurisdiction population,available funding, and statutory program
set-asides based upon jurisdiction size. Program funds remaining after all partial payments are
made will be used to provide supplemental payments in October and November, 1999. Your
chief executive(or designee)is responsible for determining the process through which the partial
funding is used to meet individual law enforcement agency vest needs identified in the approved
application.
Purchasing and Receiving Vests: You may now proceed with ordering the vests identified in
your application, in accordance with your procurement policies and available funding. As this
notification is only sent to jurisdictions, we request that you convey this approval to any law
enforcement agencies included in your application. Once purchased vests have been delivered
to law enforcement agencies, an on-line receiving report must be completed. The jurisdiction then
requests payment from BJA to cover up to 50%of the cost of the vests received. Jurisdictions
are responsible for ensuring that purchased vests are in compliance with applicable program
standards,that the invoiced prices do not include unrelated law enforcement equipment, and that
program payments do not exceed 50%of the cost of purchased vests under this program.
PLEASE NOTE:The electronic payment process for the BPV program is in the final stages of
development. We anticipate that it will take at least several more weeks before the system is
available for processing requests for payment. Please withhold such requests pending further
notice. We will provide routine updates on this issue at httb://vests.oip.ciov to ensure you make
informed,timely purchasing decisions.
Electronic Funds Transfer:When BJA receives the jurisdiction's request for funding, funds are
eletrQnically transferred from the U.S. Treasury to the jurisdiction's bank account, as identified
during the on-line registration process. Each jurisdiction is responsible for facilitating prompt
payment to vest vendors.
Please direct questions about this program to the technical support staff at 1-877-75VESTS
(1-877-758-3787). Thank you.
