Request for Information (RFI): FTA/Grant Accrual Support
This requirement is for the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Office of Budget and Policy (TBP). The CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Act of 1990, as amended requires all Federal government agencies to submit financial statements on an annual and quarterly basis. The Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST) required all Operating Administrations (OA) to submit their financial statements on a monthly basis (by the 10th day of the following month). The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has also mandated that all Federal agencies submit their audited financial statements by November 15th of each year. In addition, the departmental CFO mandated the requirement for the development and maintenance of procedures to establish an accrual process for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant awards for monthly financial statements beginning May 2003.
The purpose of this effort is to provide assistance with financial statement preparation and support services for the grant accrual process. This will assist FTA to comply with policies mandated by the CFO, and support the accelerated due dates for agency submission of unaudited financial statements and related packages imposed by DOT Office of the Secretary (OST), Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and Treasury. This effort will assist in ensuring that FTA can submit all required financial statements in a timely manner.
THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. It is not a Request for Proposal, a Request for Quotation, a Request for Application, an Invitation for Bids, a Solicitation, or an indication that the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) will contract for the items contained in this Special Notice. The RFI is an attempt to reach out in an effort to determine industry capabilities and interest and will be treated as information only.

Responses to this RFI are strictly voluntary and FTA will not pay respondents for information provided in response to this RFI.
