TO: The Honorable Mayor and Council City Of Owasso From: H. Dwayne Henderson, P.E. City Engineer Subject: Application for STP Funds East 106th Street North/North Garnett Road Date: July 13, 2012 APPROVED BY COUNCIL JUL 17 ZO1Z BACKGROUND: In 2005, the City contracted with four (4) engineering firms to perform conceptual engineering studies for the intersections at East 106th Street North/North Garnett Road, East 106th Street North/North 145th East Avenue, East 961h Street North/North 145th East Avenue and East 96th Street North/North Mingo Road. Each intersection was planned for a 20 year growth. Once the studies were performed, staff recommended that the East 106th Street North/North Garnett Road be selected for funding by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation Small Cities Set-Aside funds. The small cities funds are used for cities that are not contiguous with a metropolitan area, which Owasso was not at that time. The project was designed and submitted to ODOT for review. The needed right-of-way for the project was obtained using the Federal Highway Administration Guidelines for land acquisition. Once the right-of-way was obtained, utility companies mobilized and relocated their utilities. Funding for the project through ODOT is limited to $750,000 in the Small Cities Set-Aside funds for construction. The City of Owasso paid for utility relocation, engineering fees, and right-of-way. However, with the recent adoption of Owasso into the urbanized area, Owasso is now eligible for Urbanized Surface Transportation Funds. Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds are made available on an annual basis by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), through the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), for the implementation of eligible transportation improvements in the Tulsa Urbanized Area. INCOG administers the grant funding and has established a selection process for the distribution of STP funds. Priority funding is given to projects that meet federal regulations and help advance the Regional Transportation Plan through safety improvements and to projects that reduce traffic congestion. Proposed projects are evaluated for eligibility and priority based on a 100-point rating system. Since Owasso has followed the federal guidelines for right-of-way acquisition, this project qualifies for the STP funds. The potential 80% ODOT/20% local match could save the City of Owasso approximately $900,000 on this project. In addition, Owasso can apply for these funds without jeopardizing the Small Cities funds. If the STP funds are obtained, the $750,000 will revert back to the Small Cities Program. PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE: In June 2012, INCOG issued applications for STP funds with a submittal deadline of July 27, 2012. Similar to the process utilized in obtaining federal funding assistance for the East 76th Street North roadway improvement project, a Council resolution is necessary in order to complete the application process. The 2012 application will request federal funding assistance for the construction of the roadway improvements. If this project is selected in September 2012, the funding for construction will be requested to move up to FY2012 from FY2016 so construction can begin. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN SUMMARY: The East 106th Street North/North Garnett Road intersection is in a heavily trafficked area that conveys residential and commercial traffic, as well as commuter traffic to and from Owasso. This roadway accommodates a large percentage of local traffic and is significant in the distribution of traffic to and from the Collinsville and German Corner areas to commercial areas in Owasso. It is expected that residential growth will increase traffic volumes and continue to overload the existing two-lane road intersection. The following table shows existing and future flow patterns: Location Daily Traffic Volume Daily Traffic Volume (Vehicles per day 2006) (Vehicles per day 2012) 106TH Street North (West of Garnett 1,600 5,159 1061H Street North (East of Garnett 3,300 4,463 North Garnett (South of 106th Street North 7,300 13,597 North Garnett (North of 106th Street North 7,900 13,354 The proposed lane configuration is a 5-lane roadway section with additional dedicated right- turn lanes. The intersection will be signalized. Based on recent estimates from the final plans, the anticipated cost for the construction is $2.1 million. ODOT funding for this project will be through the Surface Transportation Program, which will fund 80% of eligible project costs, while the local government funds 20%. Based upon this information, the following is an estimate of the cost distribution: Project Segment Estimate millions) ODOT Portion millions) City of Owasso Portion Construction $2.1 $1.68 $420,000 Right-of-Way Completed $0.00 Completed Utility Relocation Completed $0.00 Completed Engineering (8%) Completed $0.00 Completed Total Project Cost $2.1 $1.68 $420,000 PROPOSED RESOLUTION: The proposed Resolution declares the City's intent to request federal funding assistance through the Surface Transportation Program Urbanized Area for the construction of the roadway improvements to East 106th Street North/North Garnett Road intersection. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2012-07, requesting ODOT to consider the construction phase of the East 106th Street North/North Garnett Road intersection as a candidate for federal funding assistance through the Surface Transportation Program..
