DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to adopt a resolution authorizing the execution of an advance funding agreement
(AFA) (Control Section Job No. 0902-90-096) for this Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) project with the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) and accept the federal grant funds for the construction in the amount not to exceed $407 ,556 .00 . After submitting this
intersection for HSIP consideration, it was selected to receive federal funds .
The project includes pedestrian safety and traffic signal improvements as well as pavement reconstruction of left-turn lanes to increase capacity .
The intersection improvements will provide orderly movement of traffic through the intersection while increasing safety for pedestrians and
vehicles .
Since this is a HSIP project , TxDOT will be leading the construction . They will absorb the indirect cost for providing statewide support services to
this federally funded project in the amount of $25,093 .00 . For this AFA, a 90 % (federal) to 10% (local) match is required. Consequently, the
federal and local participation of the grant component are $407 ,556 .00 and $45 ,284 .00 , respectively . In addition to the local participation, the City
will provide $229 ,183 .00 (available from M&C G-19306 2018 Bond Program) towards the AFA for engineering , environmental , and construction
as well as to cover additional City scope items identified during the preliminary engineering phase of this project. Before the start of construction ,
an advanced payment to TxDOT is required in the amount of $5 ,118.00. The final payment to TxDOT for local participation will be based on actual
costs.

In the TxDOT AFA, the city's total participation is $193,242 .00 which was based on original design and construction estimate. Due to some des igr
change to improve the visibility of the eastbound and westbound left turn movements and an increase in unit prices, additional funds in the amount
of $81,225.00 are required to complete construction. So the new city participation is $274,467.00.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity , state agency or public institution of higher education : TxDOT
