LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: At its April 20, 2022 meeting, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors authorized an agreement with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to construct an extension of Library Avenue in Crozet to Parkside Village. The original agreement included an Appendix A (Attachment A) that estimated a total project cost of $4,986,700.
At its April 20, 2022 meeting, the Board authorized an addendum to the Barnes Lumber Development Agreement to provide additional funds for the Library Avenue Extension project, in order to ensure that the project could continue despite an increased cost estimate. On January 11, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved Appropriation #2023030 (Attachment B) that increased the total project budget by $5,593,351. For all Revenue Sharing projects, when the original cost is revised, VDOT requires that the Appendix A allocation agreement be updated, affirming the locality’s commitment to fund the local project cost share.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Infrastructure Investment - Prioritize, plan, and invest in critical infrastructure that responds to past and future changes and improves the capacity to serve community needs.
DISCUSSION: The revised Appendix A (Attachment C) reflects appropriation #2023030 that the Board of Supervisors approved at its January 11, 2023 meeting in the total amount of $8,093,351.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION:
