SUBJECT ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION AND LOCAL TRANSPORTATION PROJECT ADVANCE
FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
FOR A TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT PROJECT FOR BERRY STREET FROM
EVANS AVENUE TO THE BURLINGTON NORTHERN SANTE FE RAILROAD
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the attached resolution authorizing execution of the Local Transportation Project Advance
Funding Agreement (LPAFA) for receipt of Statewide Transportation Enhancement Funds and
Transportation and Community and System Preservation Funds; and
2. Authorize the execution of a Local Transportation Project Advance Funding Agreement with the
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT); and
3. Authorize the remittance of a check in the amount of $10,000 made payable to TxDOT to cover the
cost for the state's review of the preliminary plans, specifications, and engineering work as required
by the agreement.
DISCUSSION:
The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) established a Statewide Transportation
Enhancement Program (STEP) to address transportation programs that contribute to the livelihood of
communities, the quality of our environment and the aesthetics of our roadways. Transportation
enhancements are funded through the Surface Transportation Program (STP), administered by TxDOT
for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Ten percent
of STP funds are set aside for enhancement activities. Texas has approximately $128 million in its
apportionment of federal funds to be awarded in the 1999 Program Call of the STEP. On January 27, 2000,
the Texas Transportation Commission passed Minute Order No. 108065 awarding funding for projects in the
1999 Program Call of the STEP.
The Texas Transportation Commission awarded federal funding in the amount of $892,080 for the
construction of Berry Street from Evans Avenue to the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad. The
federal share will not exceed seventy percent of the actual cost of the project. Costs in excess of the
federal share will be borne by the City. The City's share of the cost is estimated to be $382,320. The
1998 Capital Improvement Program authorized funds for the Berry Street project. Upon execution of the
agreement, the City must remit payment in the amount of $10,000 to TxDOT for review of the preliminary
plans, specifications, and engineering work as required by the agreement. Approximately sixty days
prior to TxDOTs awarding of the construction contract, the City will be required to fund the balance of the
City's share of the project cost.
The agreement details the responsibilities of both the City and TxDOT in the development of the project. The
City is responsible for the design of the project, securing any needed rights-of-way, adjusting or relocating
utilities, and identification and assessment of any environmental mitigation associated with the project.
TxDOT will advertise, award and inspect construction of the project.

central city commercial corridors. Under the TCSP grant, the Berry Street project would receive
$600,000 to supplement bond funds for public improvements.

In the agreement, the scope of work for the Berry Street project from Evans Avenue to the Burlington
Northern Sante Fe Railroad consists of the following:
• Installation of landscaping and other scenic beautifications including irrigation systems; and
