RE:

City/State Agreement

 

Iowa Street Reconstruction, Harvard Road to Irving Hill–Supplemental Agreement No. 1

 

Introduction

Road projects on City Connecting Links (part of the state highway system within the city limit) are routinely undertaken through joint venture between the City and KDOT.   City/State agreements are legal instruments in which the rights and responsibilities of both parties are outlined and defined with specificity and details. By signing these agreements, both City and KDOT affirms their intention to proceed with the project and assumes their respective responsibilities. During the course of a project, Supplemental Agreements are often executed to address changing circumstances.

 

Project Details

Currently in Design Phase, with anticipated construction in 2012/2013, reconstruction of Iowa Street is jointly funded by the City and KDOT. Since the signing of the original agreement, the City received $1.2 million from KDOT in Federal Highway Safety funds. The purpose of the attached Supplemental Agreement No. 1 is to add the Highway Safety Funds to the project.

 

Total Project Cost:   

$6 million

Surface Transportation Program (STP) Funds:                         

$3 million (KDOT)

Federal Highway Safety Funds                 

$1.2 million (KDOT)

Sub-Total (KDOT Funds)             

$4.2 million

City’s 20% minimum Match (for STP funds)        

$750,000.00

City’s 10% minimum Match (for Highway Safety Funds)

$133,000.00

Balance of project cost (to be paid by city)                  

$917,000.00

Sub-Total (city funds)                                                     

$1.8 million

 

City’s share of the project cost ($1.8 million) has already been approved by the City Commission as part of the 2012 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget - $1 million would come from Infrastructure Sales Tax and $1,250,000 would come from General Obligation (GO) bonds (approved with Resolution 6889).

 

Action Request

If appropriate, authorize Mayor to sign the Supplemental Agreement No. 1 for Iowa Street Reconstruction project (City Project No. PW1012).
