DISCUSSIGN:
The Land Use/Transportation Joint Venture Program is an initiative of the (NCTCG) Regional
Transportation Council (RTC) to improve regional air quality and promote sustainable development. The
program provides funding for transportation projects that support private mixed-use development within a
pedestrian and/or transit oriented environment. The Joint Venture Program is a precursor to the 2005 and
2009 Sustainable Development programs.
0n October 11, 2001, the RTC selected the Ridglea Urban Village Project for funding in the amount of
$380,349,00 in federal CMAQ funds through the Land UselTransportation Joint Venture Program. 0n
June 17, 2003, ~M&C G-13994} the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a LPAFA with
TxDOT, but at that time funding was not accepted or appropriated via Council action. The City must enter
Logname: 4bRIDGLEA JOINT VENTURE PR~f ECT Page 1 of 2
into a new LPAFA with TxDOT to correct an error in the previously accepted LPAFA. The error added the
direct state costs to the total project budget estimate rather than subtracting that amount from the project
budget subtotal. Therefore the corrected budget will reflect the federal grant awarded amount of
$380,349.00 instead of the incorrect amount of $422,187.00.
Camp Bowie District, Inc., has pledged to provide a cash contribution of $95,081.00 as the 20 percent
local match for this project, of which the District has already paid $11,410.00 to TxDQT after entering into
the LPAFA currently in effect. Camp Bowie District, Inc.'s remaining financial responsibility is $83,617.00
to fulfill the required match.
Following the appropriation of funds, City staff will distribute a Request for Qualifications ~RFQ} to
architectural and engineering firms to design enhanced crosswalks at the intersection of Camp Bowie
Boulevard and Westridge Avenue. Any remaining funding will be used to provide additional streetscape
improvements, including but not limited to: street trees, pedestrian lights, benches, trash bins, bike racks
and wayfinding signs. Following selection of a preferred consultant and contract negotiations, staff will
seek Council authorization to execute a design contract. The preliminary project schedule anticipates the
commencement of design work by the beginning of 2010 and completion of construction by the fourth
quarter of 2011.
This project is located in CQUNCIL DISTRICT 3.
