ITEM TYPE: Consent Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Henry, Kamptner, Blair, Abplanalp, and Kelsey
PRESENTER (S): Jack Kelsey
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: In October 2017, the County applied for VDOT Transportation Alternative - Safe Routes to School (SRTS) funding for the Cale Elementary School SRTS Pedestrian-Bike Improvements. The allocation was approved in June 2018.
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: This project will be administered by Staff and requires County and VDOT approval of a Project Administration Agreement (Attachment A) that outlines the County’s and VDOT’s project responsibilities. Once the Agreement is fully executed, VDOT will authorize Staff to begin the Preliminary Engineering phase of the project.
BUDGET IMPACT: The Transportation Alternative SRTS funds will be provided by VDOT as a reimbursement to the County for project expenditures. Therefore, funds in the amount of the total project cost ($512,094) need to be appropriated for Staff to procure the design and construction services. Neighborhood Improvement Funding Initiative funds have already been appropriated ($125,000) to provide the Local Funds. An additional appropriation for the remaining balance ($387,094) will be necessary to provide the Local Match ($77,419) and for the Transportation Alternative funds ($309,675). Action on this request will be followed later by an appropriation request to the Board.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment B) approving the attached Agreement (Attachment A).
