ALTSD 2028 Capital Outlay Application - Meals & Equipment - FOR TESTING

New Mexico's Aging and Long Term Services Department is inviting senior centers to apply for capital outlay funding by October 30, 2026 for equipment, furnishings, and fixtures that support congregate meal preparation, health and fitness programming, and senior center operations.

The scope includes capitalizable equipment — defined as assets of long-term character owned and retained by the grantee — in four categories: meal preparation equipment for congregate dining, health and fitness and wellness equipment, senior center furnishings (tables, chairs, and similar fixtures), and recreation and activity equipment directly supporting senior center programming (billiard tables, game tables, and comparable items). Applicants must submit a Certification Letter establishing the fiscal agent's commitment, a Project Budget and Funding Sources Worksheet documenting itemized line-item costs with supporting quotes or estimates, and a Scope of Work and Deliverables Schedule Worksheet identifying up to eight project tasks with responsible parties, timelines, and deliverable milestones.

Funding is reimbursement-based. The fiscal agent must pay allowable project costs before receiving reimbursement from the state and must demonstrate financial ability to comply with applicable procurement, fiscal, reporting, and reimbursement requirements. Applicants must identify all funding sources (capital outlay requests, local or tribal government funds, state or federal funds, grants, or donor contributions) and document whether each source is secured or pending. The Budget and Funding Sources Worksheet requires certification by an authorized representative that the budget is complete, accurate, aligned with supporting documentation, and includes all costs necessary to complete the project.

No estimated total program funding, individual project ceiling, or award timeline is specified in the materials provided.
