Dwayne Henderson, P.E. City Engineer Subject: Resolution 2018 -02 - Application for STP Funds 96th Street North /145th East Avenue Intersection Widening Date: February 16, 2018 BACKGROUND: The intersection at East 96th Street North and North 145 +h East Avenue is owned and maintained by two separate entities. Tulsa County owns and maintains the north, south and west legs and Rogers County is responsible for the east leg of the intersection. It is currently one of the most heavily traveled unimproved intersections in the Owasso area. Actual traffic counts in this area are tabulated below along with the projected counts for 2038. Location Daily Traffic Daily Traffic Daily Traffic Daily Traffic Volume Volume Volume Volume (Projected (Vehicles per (Vehicles per (Vehicles per 2038 ADT) day 2018 ADT) day 2012 ADT) day 2006 ADT) 145th East Avenue, south 10,750 5,952 5,543 3,400 of 96th Street North 145th East Avenue, north 8,559 4,739 4,058 2,400 of 96th Street North 96th Street North, east of 9,963 5,516 4,891 4,500 145th East Avenue 96th Street North, west of 14,848 8,221 7,530 5,800 145th East Avenue 2018 data shows a 7.3% to 16.2% increase in traffic for the four legs of the intersection from 2012 to 2018. A 3% per annual increase was used to project the 2038 traffic flows in the table above. The 2006 Traffic Analysis stated that the intersection capacity would need to increase within three years. The improvements should be planned to handle the determined future 10 -year traffic growth of the area so as not to require another project for additional improvements within a few short years. The north -south legs of the intersection have already exceeded the 10 -year growth projections while the east -west legs on East 96th Street North have not met the projected rate. In 2018, Tulsa County, Rogers County and the City of Owasso agreed to share costs for the engineering design for the project, right -of -way and utility relocation. Staff has prepared a conceptual plan and preliminary design report that will be submitted to INCOG for FY 2021 Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds. These 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. On December 22, 2017, INCOG solicited for STP funding applications with a submittal deadline of February 23, 2018. This application is the second time the project has been submitted for funding. In 2015 the project was submitted and scored too low for funding. Since that application, staff has applied and awarded federal funds for improvements to East 106th Street North and North 129th East Avenue Intersection. Now that the traffic counts have increased, staff is proposing to resubmit this project for federal funding. PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE: Similar to the process utilized to obtain federal funding assistance for the East 1061h Street North and North 129th East Avenue Intersection Improvements, a resolution is necessary in order to complete the application process. The 2018 application will request federal funding assistance for the construction of the roadway improvements. If this project is selected in spring 2018, the funding for construction will be targeted in FY 2021 -22 or sooner, depending on funding availability. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN SUMMARY: Both East 96th Street North and North 1451h East Avenue are considered secondary arterials in Owasso. The intersection is a heavily used roadway that conveys residential, commercial and school traffic in the area, as well as commuter traffic to and from Owasso. The intersection is within two miles of a public school to the north and a public school to the south. It is also just a mile east of Owasso's heaviest commercial shopping activity, one of the busiest in suburban Tulsa. The proposed lane configuration is a 6 -lane roadway section including 2 -lanes in each direction with left and right turn lanes to expedite turning movements. Also included are sidewalks on each side of the intersection. Based on the conceptual design, the anticipated cost for construction of the proposed roadway improvements is $2,789,000. Construction administration (testing, inspection and administration of pay applications) is equal to 20% of the construction fee, which is $557,800 for a total cost of $3,346,800, excluding engineering, right of way and utility relocation costs. Tulsa and Rogers Counties, as well as the City of Owasso, agreed that paying for Phase I (engineering design, right -of -way and utility relocations) locally and requesting ODOT funding to contribute to Phase II (construction) allows us the best chance of obtaining funding. ODOT funding for this project would be through the Surface Transportation Program, which would fund a maximum of 80% of eligible construction costs, while the local government funds 20 %. However, staff believes that in order to have a competitive application, the federal percentage should be reduced and local percentage increased to 60 %/40 %. Based on conversations with Roger County, they are capable of funding 1/3 of the projected engineering, right -of -way and utility relocation fees. However, with all of their other on -going projects, they will not be able to participate in construction funding. Tulsa County has agreed that Tulsa County and the City of Owasso will participate in funding the 40% constriction portion, which will divide the responsibilities in half (20% Tulsa County /20% City of Owasso). Based upon this information, the following is a project estimate: Project Segment Estimate ODOT Portion Rogers County Shared Portion City of Owasso/ Tulsa County Shared Portion % Paid Locally Construction $2,789,000 $1,673,400 $1,115,600 40% Administration $557,800 $334,680 $223,120 40% Utility Relocation $649,000 $216,117 $432,883 10070 Right -of -way $498,000 $165,834 $332,166 100% Engineering $220,000 $73,260 $146,740 100% Total Project Cost $4,713,800 1 $2,008,080 $455,211 $2,250,509 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2018 -02 authorizing the submittal of an application for funding between the City of Owasso and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation for the East 96 Street North and North 145 East Avenue Intersection Widening Project.
