Project. All field surveying has been completed and design is underway. The streamlined
environmental clearance effort is included in this scope of work.
City staff and TXDOT have reached an agreement on the proposed Local Project Advance
Funding Agreement that details the project's scope and the funding partnership. Upon
execution, this agreement will provide $7,246,378 in funding for construction and the
required TXDOT engineering/construction management fees. Indirect costs funded by
TxDOT is currently estimated at $427,097. TxDOT also estimated $43,550 in utility
relocation costs. This yields an anticipated total cost of $8,749,713 which includes the
Huitt Zollars design fees for a total City participation of$3,322,616. Funding for the local
share of the project will be paid from Certificates of Obligation issued at a later date. Staff
