1. The Grantee will establish cost principles for use in
determining the allowability of individual items of costs in accordance with 2 C.F.R. Part
200, "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for

2. Direct labor charges shall be based on actual time expended
at the current approved gross salary of the assigned staff member.

services.
4. Indirect costs shall be based on the approved cost allocation
plan supported by the Grantee's annual budget for the fiscal year in which the scope of
services is to be carried out. A rate is calculated on the basis of the estimated total annual
administrative expenses, excluding known unallowable costs as prescribed in various
federal regulations, including 2 C.F.R. Part 200, divided by the sum of total annual salaries
chargeable as direct labor. Calculation of the indirect rate is specified in the cost
allocation plan and is approved by the audit agency. The indirect rate is audited and

in Appendix A.

the job elements under this Agreement, considered to be satisfactory to the Commission.
This project completion report is due within 60 days after the Agreement end date. The
Commission's obligation will extend only to those costs incurred as verified by the final
audit. A final audit will be completed after the acceptance of the project completion report.
If Grantee was overcompensated according to final audit results, Grantee will reimburse
the Commission the amount as specified by the final audit. If additional compensation is
due Grantee, Grantee will present a supplemental invoice to the Commission for payment
of the amount specified by the final audit.
(F) Checks: Checks in payment for the services rendered hereunder
shall be drawn to the order of the City of Cape Girardeau. The Grantee hereby agrees
that the acceptance of the check so drawn shall constitute full payment for the

electronic transfer of funds instead of a physical check.
(G) Title to Work Products: The making of payments to the Grantee in
the manner aforesaid shall vest in the Commission title to the studies, documents and

C.F.R. Part 200, if the Grantee obtains less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00), the
Grantee may be exempt from 2 C.F.R. Part 200 auditing requirements, but records must
be available for review by applicable State and Federal authorities in accordance with
Paragraph (5). The Commission reserves the right to audit expenditures under this
Agreement independently in a separate report.

SEMPO FY 2027 UPWP 2
Introduction
A metropolitan planning organization (MPO) is a federally mandated and funded policy-making
organization that oversees transportation planning for an urbanized area. The requirements for
MPOs are contained in 23 U.S.C. 134, 49 U.S.C. 5303, 23 CFR 450.308, and 23 CFR 450.314. The
1962 Federal Aid Highway Act required states and local governments to conduct cooperative,
comprehensive, and continuing (3-C) transportation planning to continue receiving Federal funds
for highway and transit improvements. Subsequently in 1973, an amendment to this act further
required the governor of each state, with local concurrence, to designate a Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) for every urbanized area to coordinate area -wide transportation
planning. In 1972, new federal legislation provided for the disbursement of Federal planning
funds through the states to MPOs.
In accordance with the 3-C process, the MPO must adopt a Unified Planning Work Program
(UPWP) that provides for consideration and implementation of projects, strategies and services
that will address the following ten factors:
1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global
competiveness, productivity and efficiency;
2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non -motorized users;
3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non -motorized
users;
4. Increase the accessibility and mobility of people and freight;
5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality
of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and state and
local planned growth and economic development patterns;
6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and
between modes, for people and freight;
7. Promote efficient system management and operation;
8. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system;
9. Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate
stormwater impacts of surface transportation; and
10. Enhance travel and tourism.
In 1991, the role of the MPO changed with the passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). ISTEA placed emphasis on the efficiency of the intermodal
transportation system, and MPOs responded by focusing on these aspects.
In 2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21s' Century Act (MAP -21) was signed into law.
MAP -21 transformed federal transportation grant programs by establishing new requirements
for performance management and performance-based planning and programming to ensure the
most efficient investment of federal transportation funds. The Fixing America's Surface
Transportation Act (FAST Act) was signed into law in 2015 which continued the performance
management and performance-based planning and programming requirements of MAP -21 with
minor changes. In implementing MAP -21 and FAST Act, state Departments of Transportation
(DOTS), MPOs, and providers of public transportation must:
• establish performance targets that reflect the measures;
SEMPO FY 2027 UPWP 3
report on progress towards achieving those targets;
develop performance based plans for safety and asset management; and
implement a performance based approach to planning and programming.
On -November 15, 2021, the President signed into law the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
(IIJA), also referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). IIJA represents the largest federal
investment in transportation infrastructure in decades and significantly expanded funding
available to states, MPOs, and local governments. The legislation strengthened the role of MPOs
in advancing multimodal, safety -focused, and resilient transportation systems, and increased
emphasis on performance-based planning, project readiness, and regional coordination. IIJA also
created and expanded several discretionary grant programs, including safety, freight, carbon
reduction, and community access initiatives, that rely on MPO -led planning and corridor studies
to position projects for implementation. As a result, SEMPO's planning activities continue to
support data -driven decision making, grant competitiveness, and investments that improve
safety, mobility, economic vitality, and quality of life throughout the region.

Metropolitan Planning Area
As the MPO for the Cape Girardeau — Jackson urbanized area, the Southeast Metropolitan
Planning Organization (SEMPO) is responsible for meeting the federal metropolitan planning
regulations for the metropolitan planning area (MPA) that includes the City of Cape Girardeau,
the City of Jackson, and portions of Cape Girardeau County and Scott County, Missouri, as well
as portions of the Village of East Cape Girardeau and Alexander County, Illinois. An MPA
boundary map showing the SEMPO metropolitan planning area is attached at the end of this
document. This area is faced with the challenge of maintaining a number of transportation
systems that meet the needs of a growing region, including highways, railways, ports, airports,
transit, bicyclists, and pedestrians. In addition to system preservation and expansion, SEMPO is
prioritizing freight mobility and first/last-mile connectivity given the region's strategic location
along the Mississippi River, Interstate 55, and key rail corridors -The region also faces challenges
related to aging infrastructure, constrained local match resources, increasing safety needs across
all modes, and improving multimodal connectivity between Missouri and Illinois portions of the
planning area as well as the Cities of Cape Girardeau and Jackson. Addressing this challenge is
SEMPO's top priority, followed by planning for expansion of these systems to accommodate
future growth.
SEMPO was designated by the Governor of Missouri as the metropolitan planning organization
for the urbanized area on March 12, 2013, and by the Governor of Illinois on February 7, 2013.
It is comprised of a Board of Directors and a Technical Planning Committee. The Board of
Directors consists of elected and appointed officials from the above jurisdictions, as well as
various federal, state, and regional transportation agencies and local transit providers. The
Technical Planning Committee primarily consists of staff from these jurisdictions and agencies; it
serves in an advisory capacity to the Board of Directors on technical matters. The City of Cape
Girardeau provides administrative services and staff support for SEMPO, as authorized in the
Memorandum of Understanding and the Bylaws.
This UPWP covers the period from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. It serves as a management tool
for identifying, scheduling, budgeting and monitoring SEMPO's planning activities, and serves as
the basis for funding agreements with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). There are a number of activities that are
considered eligible expenses for transportation planning funds, such as: data collection and
maintenance, map preparation, land use studies, traffic volume studies, economic and fiscal
studies, project evaluation studies, specialized plans, and other studies and plans relating to
transportation. In accordance with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, MPOs are also required to
use at least 2.5% of its planning funds on specified planning activities to increase safe and
accessible options for multiple travel modes for people of all ages and abilities. The planning work
of the Southeast Metropolitan Planning Organization (SEMPO) will remain in compliance with
this set aside requirement and endeavor to consider each of these planning emphasis areas
thoughtfully and thoroughly.

1— SEMPO has elected not to program 100% of the anticipated available CPG funds. It is SEMPO's general policy to maintain a
reserve of funds for potential large expense planning projects that may become necessary in the future. In addition, the SEMPO
members who collectively provide the required local match have budgetary constraints, making it unlikely that they would be
able to fully fund the local match if 100% of the CPG funds were programmed.

2 — Represents the amount to be collected in FY 2026. Invoices to MoDOT will be 80% reimbursable with the exception of FTA
5303 and FHWA PL (2.5%) set-aside funds which are 100% reimbursable.
3 — Illinois funds consist of FHWA Illinois PL and FTA Section 5303 planning funds and state match funds. A local match is not
required. In FY2026, SEMPO will receive a higher than normal allotment of PL funds from Illinois due to an Illinois distribution
policy of unspent PL funds for MPOs.

SEMPO FY 2027 UPWP
* The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) requires each MPO to use at least 2.5% of its PL funds on specified
planning activities to increase safe and accessible options for multiple travel modes for people of all ages and
abilities. [§ 11206(b)]. FY 2027 2.5% estimate is $3,815 based off an anticipated $152,625 in PL funds and is
addressed under Work Element 3.3.
Elements of the FY 2027 Unified Planning Work Program
The UPWP is one of four key documents SEMPO is required to develop and maintain for the
metropolitan planning area. The other key documents are the Metropolitan Transportation Plan
(MTP), the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), and the Public Participation Plan (PPP).
The UPWP is the management plan for the MPO and is prepared with cooperation and guidance
from federal, state, and local government agencies as well as public and private transportation
providers. It identifies and schedules all of the planning activities that need to be accomplished
on an annual basis. It integrates policy, planning, and programming activities. This is also where
the allocation of staff and funding resources occurs.
There are three work elements in this UPWP. Each element consists of sections that identify the
lead agency; objective; program activities; prior year accomplishments; work products (with
estimated completion dates); and budget. The budget allocation for each work element is
included at the end of the element's description.
The SEMPO FY 2027 UPWP consists of the following work elements:
1.0 Program Administration and Support
2.0 Data Collection and Management
3.0 Transportation Planning
1.0 Program Administration and Support
This work element addresses the administrative and support functions for SEMPO, such as the
UPWP, coordination of third party services, public outreach, education and training.
Table 7: Program Administration and Support
1.1 Program Support $ 76,558
1.2 Public Outreach $ 21,874
1.3 Education and Training $ 10,937
A o o• ,.
1.1 Program Support
1.1.1 Lead Agency: SEMPO staff with support via consulting contract with KLG
Engineering, LLC
1.1.2 Objective:
SEMPO will conduct its activities in accordance with applicable federal, state,
and local laws as well as its own plans and programs. The UPWP will be prepared
SEMPO FY 2026 UPWP 9
and adopted annually, and will serve as the basis for the transportation planning
process, including technical and administrative support. SEMPO will participate
in meetings with other agencies to ensure that its transportation planning
process is properly coordinated with statewide and regional processes, and to
provide input on matters affecting transportation in Southeast Missouri. In
January 2020, the City of Cape Girardeau established a full time SEMPO
Executive Director/City Grant Coordinator position. The position is structured to
dedicate sixty percent of its time on SEMPO related tasks and forty percent on
City grant coordination. Establishment of this position provides SEMPO with a
dedicated staff member. In previous years, the City of Cape Girardeau's City
Planner fulfilled these administrative duties with the assistance of KLG
Engineering, LLC via a general services agreement established through a
competitive request for qualifications process. Establishing a dedicated
Executive Director position lessens the demand for outside consultant
assistance for administrative services but does not completely eliminate the
need. KLG Engineering retains a general services agreement through December
2026 and will be utilized as necessary to assist in the administrative service
delivery to SEMPO.

Air Quality Planning
3.6.1 Lead Agency: SEMPO staff
3.6.2 Objective: Air quality and transportation are intimately connected through
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation. The Clean Air
Act, which was last amended in 1990, requires EPA to set National Ambient Air
Quality Standards for pollutants considered harmful to public health and the
environment. The EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) has
set National Ambient Air Quality Standards for six principal pollutants, which are
called "criteria" pollutants. The current standards for these criteria pollutants
are detailed in the 2021— 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
Of the six pollutants, particulate matter and ozone are most affected by the
transportation system. While particulate matter is well under the standard in
the Cape Girardeau area, ozone remains a contaminant of concern.
As of the approval date for this document, the Cape Girardeau/Jackson
Urbanized Area is currently in attainment (within compliance of ambient air
quality standards), and the SEMPO staff will proceed with its work this year
under that attainment designation. A change in the air quality designation for
the Cape Girardeau/Jackson Urbanized Area is not expected to occur in FY2027
(June 30, 2026 — July 1, 2027); however, this situation could change in future
years.
3.6.3 Program Activities:
a. Monitor the ongoing discussions about possible non -attainment status for
the Cape Girardeau/Jackson Urbanized Area and work with EPA, MoDOT,
FHWA, FTA and other agencies to revise MPO plans, reports and processes
so the Cape Girardeau/Jackson Urbanized Area is in compliance with air
quality regulations (as needed).
3.6.4 Work Products:
a. Continue to support efforts by local groups that are encouraging actions
which lead to reductions in air pollutant emissions (ongoing)

Docusign Envelope ID:5F940970-41A6-83D9-80B1-190FD696E01C
the total project cost, up to a maximum amount of$41,962 for eligible activities under the

days after the end of the reporting period. However, the last progress report may be
waived and included in the final or project completion report. Each progress report shall
include tasks, what percentage of each task has been completed and overall task
completion rate. Invoices will be based on actual costs incurred. Each invoice will show
the breakdown of the cost incurred among the Grantee and the Commission. Such
progress payments will be based on actual cost incurred. In no instance shall the

accomplished as follows:
1. The Grantee will establish cost principles for use in
determining the allowability of individual items of costs in accordance with 2 C.F.R. Part
200, "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards."
2. Direct labor charges shall be based on actual time expended
at the current approved gross salary of the assigned staff member.
3. Employee fringe benefits shall be based on a provisional rate,
subject to audit, of direct labor costs. This rate is set on the basis of the employer's actual
cost for group life insurance, health insurance, pension plan, workers compensation,
holidays, F.I.C.A. taxes, accrued costs for sick leave, vacation and other items included
in the Grantee's approved fringe benefit package to the total annual salaries paid. This
rate is reviewed and adjusted annually and will be specified in the fiscal year scope of
services.
4. Indirect costs shall be based on the approved cost allocation
plan supported by the Grantee's annual budget for the fiscal year in which the scope of
services is to be carried out. A rate is calculated on the basis of the estimated total annual
administrative expenses, excluding known unallowable costs as prescribed in various
federal regulations, including 2 C.F.R. Part 200, divided by the sum of total annual salaries
chargeable as direct labor. Calculation of the indirect rate is specified in the cost
allocation plan and is approved by the audit agency. The indirect rate is audited and
adjusted at each fiscal year end by the audit agency. The applicable rate will be specified
in Appendix A.
5. Other direct costs charges shall be based on actual cost of
supplies and equipment purchased or rented for exclusive use of this project.
Procurement of supplies and equipment should be in accordance with procedures

acceptance by the Commission of a project completion report, summarizing the results of
the job elements under this Agreement, considered to be satisfactory to the Commission.
This project completion report is due within 60 days after the Agreement end date. The
Commission's obligation will extend only to those costs incurred as verified by the final
audit. A final audit will be completed after the acceptance of the project completion report.
If Grantee was overcompensated according to final audit results, Grantee will reimburse
the Commission the amount as specified by the final audit. If additional compensation is
due Grantee, Grantee will present a supplemental invoice to the Commission for payment
of the amount specified by the final audit.
(F) Checks: Checks in payment for the services rendered hereunder
shall be drawn to the order of the City of Cape Girardeau. The Grantee hereby agrees
that the acceptance of the check so drawn shall constitute full payment for the
Commission to the Grantee for the services for which such payments are made. The
parties, acting through their authorized representatives, may also arrange for the
electronic transfer of funds instead of a physical check.
(G) Title to Work Products: The making of payments to the Grantee in
the manner aforesaid shall vest in the Commission title to the studies, documents and
material produced by the Grantee under the terms of this Agreement up to the time of

personal property or to a person for any matter relating to or arising out of the Grantee's
wrongful or negligent performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
