ITEM TYPE: Consent Action Item

PRESENTER (S): N/A
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: In 2016, the County and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) entered into a blanket Programmatic Project Administration Agreement (PPAA) to cover all projects funded by the Revenue Sharing Program. In 2019, the Agreement was renewed for another three years. The Agreement will expire on June 30, 2022. As VDOT no longer employs blanket PPAAs, each of the remaining revenue sharing projects requires a new, separate agreement, which must be executed by June 30, 2022. Failure to have a new agreement in place by June 30, 2022 could result in any work done after that date being ineligible for reimbursement until a new agreement is signed. Once executed, the agreements will continue in force through the life of the project.
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 need.
DISCUSSION: Per VDOT’s requirements, projects with similar scope are grouped under one agreement but with separate Appendix A’s to delineate the scope and budget of each project. As a result, four of the projects will be under Agreement 1 and two under Agreement 2. Collectively the agreements are applicable to the following projects: Commonwealth Drive / Dominion Drive Sidewalks; Berkmar Drive Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements; Crozet Square / Oak Street Improvements; and Library Avenue Extension to Parkside Village.
BUDGET IMPACT: There is no budget impact associated with these agreements.
