Revised May 20D6 Page 1 of 2 NCTCOG Sustainable Developmen# Call for Projects Required Lead Pub[ic Sponsor Decisian Regarding Projeci Sta�t Date The impact of the staging group on project timing is dependent on a local choice beiween two options. Option 1, "Sfandard Practice Option" means the projecf waiis untif funds for the project are in a North Central Texas Gouncil of Governments (NCTCOG) account. Option 2, "Local Ffoat Option" means the project begins after NCTCOG signs a contract with a local agency providing RTC Local Funds fo NCTCOG and fhe local project sponsor (public or private) "floats" fhe project until iVCTCOG receives payment of RTC Local Funds ta a NCTCOG account. A required element of the Governing Body Resolution is the lead public sponsor decision to select Option 1 or Option 2. In either case, fransportation improvements cannot be reimbursed prior to the assigned "project staging" date. Option 9 "Standard Practice Option" Lead public sponsor uses the assigned "praject staging" dat� as a start date for�the projeci, pending the receipt of a Notice fo Proceed. ff R`iC Local Funds are not available due to a default of local funds being paid to NCTCOG, the projecf may be switched to federal funding 7his default situation would require a new contract wifh 7xDOT and may result in a delay in the project. For example, fhis default situafion woufd occur if a NCTCOG mernber local government with a contract with NCl"COG to make payment of RTC Local Funds to NC7C�G is in violation of their contract with NCTCOG. Revised May 2006 C�J7 option 2 "Local Float Option" Lead public sponsor uses the assigned "project stag�ng" date as a date for reimbursement on(y and begins the project on a locally set time schedule that begins after a project agreement is signed with NCTCOG. Staff is authorized to develop interlocal agreements with RTC Local Funds that allow immediate construction with reimbursement to the lead public sponsor coniingent upon the receipt of RTC Local Funds by NCTCOG.. Please note, NCTCOG will not sign Sustainable Developmeni Project interlocal agreements until NCTCOG signs agreement(s) #o receive R7C Local Funds. If a lead public sponsor sefects this opiion, choosing to move forward and compfete th�ir project prior to the assigned reimbursement date, the lead public sponsor wifl b� "at risk" with regard to the default of local funds being paid to NCTCOG This option may preclude switching fo Federal Funds in the event that RTC Local Funds are unavailable. For example, this default situation would occur if a NCTCOG member local government with a contract with NCTCOG to make payment of RTC Local Funds to NCTCOG is in violation of their contract with NCTCOG. �����]w� ������i 'C��'t> >�����.�°?�Y Page 2 of � 1��: `:''�;'�U'�r� ����, � ATTACHMENT 6 NCTCOG Sustainable Developmenf Call for Projecfs Projeci Scope for Museum Piace Project #: 343 Projeci Name: Museum Place 17eveiopment - :ti! �.�:.�:r v.. - � , "t. �. 3 JH �� �:Ca�s o -r- �r�,�� ,r.�r�- � :� ,� � , �r �.
