FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER V
MEETING DATE: APRIL 5, 2016
SUBJECT: LOCAL PROJECT ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT
LPAFA) — SH 114 GREEN RIBBON PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider adopting a resolution approving the Local Project Advance Funding
Agreement with Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) to establish funding
participation levels for the State Highway (SH) 114 Green Ribbon Project- Phase II, and
take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds are currently available in account 121-48810-312-15-0041 (Quality of Life).
Several areas throughout the DFW Connector corridor were not included in TXDOT's
landscape plan. The SH 114 Green Ribbon Project is one of the highly visible areas along
the corridor where supplemental landscaping will enhance the appearance of Grapevine.
The project is funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and TXDOT Green
Ribbon program. The Green Ribbon program provides no allowances for cost overruns;
therefore, the City will cover any cost overruns that may arise.
This project will be administered by the City. A Master Agreement, adopted by the City
per 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 has requested that the City
approve this LPAFA in April to facilitate their bidding schedule of June 2016.
City of Grapevine was awarded $350,000 Green Ribbon funds to use towards this project.
Once bids are received for this project, options will be presented to City Council for
approval. This advanced funding agreement confirms any amount over the grant funds
the City will pay.
Staff recommends approval.
