The original AFA includes a 1,030,141 non -spendable Transportation Development Credits (TDC) used for city in -kind match. This TDC was not appropriated in M&C 20-0104.

As a result, a pedestrian bridge, security fencing, retaining walls, construction labor security training, traffic control and utility relocations are added into construction cost. An additional TDC in the amount of 636,934 will be used for city in -kind match in addition to the $1,502,925.00 General Fund -Fund Balance Fund. The total project budget is summarized below.
