MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER* MEETING DATE: JULY 20, 2090 SUBJECT: LOCAL PROJECT ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT (LPAFA) — SH 26 RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT RECOMMENDATION: City Council consider adopting a resolution approving the Local Project Advance Funding Agreement with TXDOT to establish funding participation levels for the State Highway 26 Reconstruction Project, and take any necessary action. FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are currently available in G O Bond Funds as follows: 02 GO 178-78107-014 03 GO 178-78125-015 BACKGROUND: The project was initially funded by TxDOT, NCTCOG, Tarrant County and the City. TxDOT has recently received American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding which allows them to fully fund the construction of the project based on the bid prices. The ARRA program provides no allowances for cost overruns. The only funding. . required of the City is to cover any cost overruns that may arise. This project will be administered by the State. A Master Agreement, adopted by the City (by resolution) and the State in November 2000, establishes general terms and conditions for transportation projects of this nature. The LPAFA formally establishes the funding participation level and scope for this specific project. TxDOT had requested that the City approve this LPAFA in June to facilitate their bidding schedule of August 2010. The last meeting in June was so early in the month that it would not work. With the first meeting of July cancelled, this meeting is the first one available for Council consideration. July 12,2010(4:04PM) To meet TxDOT's letting date of August 2010 for this project and tie down the ARRA funds, they have had to advertise the project in advance of our agreement. The City's funding commitment to this project before the ARRA funds became available was $3 million. The cost overruns on this project should fall within $500,000 to $850,000, 3% to 5%, and could be less depending upon issues that may arise in the field. This should yield a savings to the City of$2.1 to $2.5 million. Once the City Council passes a resolution approving the t_PAFA, TXDOT will proceed with the project. Staff recommends approval.
