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 fo r 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 s ignal 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 th is is a HSIP project, TxDOT w ill 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 Tx DOT is required in the amount of $5,118.00 . The final payment to TxDOT for local participation will be based on actual
costs .
