DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to seek authorization for additional funding from the Transportation Impact Fee
Legacy Capital Fund. Transportation Impact Fee Capital Fund and Street Improvements Fund -to reimburse the Texas Department of
Transportation (TXDOT) for cost overruns in the project. The project scope was the widening of East First Street from a 2- to a 4-lane divided
arterial and was led and managed by TXDOT in accordance with the Local Advance Project Funding Agreement (LPAFA) executed on August 29,
2013 (CSO 44808, M&C C-26198). Construction was completed in June 2018 and a final project audit conducted by TXDOT in December 2019
shows the amount due TXDOT from the City is $648,411.08.
TXDOT issued a final invoice in December 2019 and a payment demand letter in January 2020. Staff has reached out to TXDOT requesting more
time to evaluate the project cost audit and TXDOT has agreed to grant an extension for the City to pay no later than June 11, 2020. Staff has
reviewed the cost and agrees with the amount of overages which become part of the City's financial responsibility and due to TXDOT.
The final payment to TXDOT of $648,411.08 is the balance of the City's obligations under the LPAFA and is comprised of construction quantity
overruns, change orders requiring additional TXDOT construction engineering, inspection and testing costs beyond original estimates. The final
payment brings the City's final contribution on this project to a total of $1,573,048.39.
Previous contract adjustments approved by City Council for the East First Street project are M&Cs: C-26198 approved on 8/29/13, C-27560
approved on 12/15/15 and administratively approved change orders resulting in total payments to TXDOT in the amount of $924,637.31. This
M&C will authorize a final payment to TXDOT in the amount of $648,411.08 from East First Street funds.
The completion of this project will have no significant impact on the general fund operating budget.
The City Council previously found that the street improvement projects in Proposition One of the 2008 Bond Program were substantially complete
and authorized the re -programming of residual funds that had been identified up to that point to other eligible projects (M&C G-18738). Since that
time, more of the completed projects have been balanced and closed and additional residuals have been identified. By approving this M&C and
adopting the attached appropriation ordinances, the City Council would be finding this project to be within the voted purpose of the bonds and to
constitute an eligible expenditure of these funds. Additionally, East 1 st St from Beach St to Oakland Blvd was identified as Impact Fee Eligible and
included in the Council -adopted 2017 Transportation Impact Fee Study.
