1-Certification Letter.docx

This is a Certification Letter issued by the Aging and Long Term Services Department (ALTSD) of New Mexico for the 2028 Capital Outlay Application for senior center equipment and meals. The document serves as a fiscal agent's acknowledgment and commitment to administer capital outlay funding for eligible senior centers. The application accepts requests for capitalizable equipment including meal preparation equipment for congregate dining, health and fitness equipment, wellness equipment, senior center furnishings such as tables and chairs, and recreation and activity equipment that directly supports senior center programming, such as billiard tables and game tables. The certification letter does not specify fixed response or due dates, site visit requirements, bidder meetings, or contract term details; rather, it establishes the foundational commitment required from fiscal agents prior to project approval.

The funding is reimbursement-based, requiring fiscal agents to pay allowable project costs before receiving reimbursement from the state. Applicants must complete the certification letter by identifying the senior center facility name, application type, specific project title, amount requested, fiscal agent information, advance-funding source, and authorized representative details including name, title, email, telephone, and signature. The fiscal agent assumes full responsibility for the requested amount subject to the grant agreement and available appropriation authority. The applicant must demonstrate financial ability to comply with applicable procurement, fiscal, reporting, and reimbursement requirements and submit complete documentation supporting all reimbursement requests.
