Iredell Vocational Workshop staff is to a prepare an RFP with the goal of turning the day-to-

2001. Announce private operator no later than January 15, 2002. Private operator begins
providing service on April 1, 1002, or sooner if possible. On July 1, 2001 the contract with the
private operator will revert to the County when the County becomes the lead agency. DOT vans
will be leased to the County (no charge), who in turn will lease these vehicles to the private
operator. All new vehicles through the NCDOT grant process will be assigned to the County.
The Iredell Vocational Workshop will begin preparing the NCDOT/PTD grant application to
meet the December 14, 2001 deadline. This application for FY 2002-2003 will actually be
prepared for the County, in that the County will become the lead agency. The Resolution and
Assurances required for this application will be signed by the County Commissioners and County
Attorney because of the lead agency status.
The Iredell Vocational Workshop, while serving as the lead agency, will work with the
Iredell Transportation Advisory Board to seek input related to the provisions of services to the
general public. Possible public forums, surveys, etc., should be considered to seek input from the
community.
The County will use NCDOT Administrative funds to hire a Transportation Manager
effective July 1, 2002 to prepare grant applications, monitor the private operator, provide
planning for future needs or services, and address complaints or concerns of agencies or the
general public.
