City Engineer SUBJECT: East 106th St North/North Garnett Road Intersection Improvements ODOT Funding Agreement - Resolution 2013-04 DATE: February 15, 2013 BACKGROUND: In 2005, the City contracted with four (4) engineering firms to perform conceptual engineering studies for the intersections at East 106th Street N/North Garnett Road, East 106th Street N/North 145th E Avenue, East 96th Street N/North 145th E Avenue and East 96th Street N/North Mingo Road. Each intersection was planned for a twenty year growth. Once the studies were performed, staff recommended that the East 106th Street N/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, AEP/PSO, Cox, ONG, and AT&T mobilized and relocated their utilities. Federal funding for the project was initially limited to $750,000 through 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. Since Owasso followed the federal guidelines for right-of-way acquisition, this project qualified in September 2012 for the STP funds. The 80% ODOT/20% local match (which does not include utility relocations) will save the City of Owasso approximately $850,000 (based on recent estimates) due to the larger amount of federal funds associated with STP funding over Small Cities set-aside funding. The unused Small Cities set-aside funds of $750,000 will revert back to the Small Cities Program. FINAL ESTIMATED COSTS: 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 table is based on a recent cost estimate of the cost distribution: Project Segment Estimate ODOT Portion City of Owasso Portion Roadway Construction $1,700,293 $1,360,234 $340,058 Utility Relocation $601,635 $601,635 Inspection/Testing $100,217 $80,174 $20,043 Total Protect Cost $2,402,145 $1,440,408 $961,737 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 N/North Garnett Road intersection. In January 2013, ODOT sent an agreement to the City of Owasso with a funding breakdown for the roadway construction portion of the project. The breakdown is based on the engineer's construction estimate provided by our consultant. The estimate of the total project cost of the roadway construction and inspection and testing costs is $2,402,145. The 20% local match and utility relocation costs for City of Owasso and Washington County Rural Water District #3 water lines are estimated to be $961,737. The agreement provided by ODOT states that these funds need to be transferred to ODOT before the letting of the project. The attached resolution is for the City of Owasso to accept the agreement and responsibility as the project sponsor, which is responsible for obtaining all funding for the local match and the maintenance of the project once completed. FUNDING: Funding is available in the Capital Improvements Fund. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2013-04 authorizing the Mayor to execute the funding and maintenance agreement between City of Owasso and ODOT for the E 106th St N and N Garnett Road Intersection Improvements.
