DISCUSSION
Approval of Local Transportation Project Advance Funding Agreements (LTPAFA)
On August 27, 2002 (M&C C-19212, Resolution No 2864), the City Council authorized the City
Manager to enter into the first of several LTPAFA's with the Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) in the amount of $566,864 16 to utilize a $25,000,000 North Central Texas Council of
Governments (NCTCOG) reimbursement grant. This funding agreement was to allow for
reimbursement to the City for 80% of costs associated with the authorization of contract
amendments to Prime Strategies, Ines project management contract and other professional service
contracts in the amount of $566,864 16 It was anticipated that the reimbursement under LTPAFA
No 1 would have been $453,491 32, and accordingly City funds in the amount of $113,372 84
would have been expended for match from the Special Assessment Fund
Staff was advised by TxDOT and NCTCOG that each LTPAFA would take approximately 60 to 90
days to execute, and that the professional services contracts could not be executed prior to the
LTPAFA in order to be eligible for reimbursement. It was further anticipated that these professional
services contracts and amendments for the SH-121T project could be executed in late October to
late November 2002

SUBJECT ADOPT APPROPRIATION ORDINANCES, RESCIND RECOMMENDATION NOS 1
THROUGH 4 OF M&C C-19212, AND AUTHORIZE ALTERNATE FUNDING STRATEGY
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SH-121T (SOUTHWEST PARKWAY) PROJECT
Alternate Funding Strategy
On October 18, 2002, staff was informed by the NCTCOG that the grant funding has not been
established in TxDOT's accounting system, and as a result, the LTPAFA will not be executed until
January 2003
Therefore, in order to continue to move the SH-121T project forward as directed by the City Council,
staff is recommending an alternate funding strategy that entails the use of funds from the Special
Assessments Fund for the entire amount. This would allow previously authorized contracts and
amendments to be executed and work may commence Unfortunately, this work will not be
reimbursable under the guidelines of the LTPAFA. Due to the nature of these services, these
contracts are vital to the decision making process of the SH-121T project and will avoid further delay
in this process.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that upon completion of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated,
of the SH 121T Southwest Parkway Fund
