1-Certification Letter.docx

This is a Certification Letter from the Aging and Long Term Services Department (ALTSD) of New Mexico for capital outlay funding applications directed toward senior centers. The document serves as a fiscal agent certification form wherein applicants must acknowledge and confirm their organization's capacity to administer capital outlay projects, which may include existing-facility improvements, code and accessibility corrections, building-system modernization and replacement, or facility additions. The letter requires applicants to provide project details including the senior center facility name, application type, project title, and amount of funding requested, along with designated fiscal agent information and authorized representative credentials.

The certification letter establishes that the capital outlay appropriation is reimbursement-based, requiring the fiscal agent to demonstrate financial ability and willingness to advance project costs before reimbursement is received from the state. Applicants must commit to complying with applicable procurement, fiscal, reporting, and reimbursement requirements, submitting complete reimbursement requests with supporting documentation, and assuming full responsibility for the requested amount subject to the grant agreement and available appropriation authority. The form also requires identification of an advance-funding source to support the project during the reimbursement period. This certification ensures that only financially capable organizations with proper administrative infrastructure proceed with funded capital projects.
