Dwayne Henderson, P.E. City Engineer Resolution 2020 -02, Surface Transportation Program Application North 145th East Avenue, 86th Street North to 106th Street North Rehabilitation Project January 17, 2020 In November 2019, Indian Nations Council of Governments ( INCOG) opened applications for the FY 2023 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. Until last year, road rehabilitation and reconstruction projects scored together, with the higher scoring projects being successfully funded. Reconstruction projects traditionally scored higher because the scoring favored projects in high growth areas. In 2018, INCOG opened a section of scoring for street rehabilitation projects. These projects will not be scored the same as capacity improvement projects, such as East 76th Street North Widening and Garnett Road Widening, due to their smaller budget needs. Rehabilitation projects are limited improvements within the existing road right -of -way, so the environmental impacts are minimal compared to a road widening project increasing capacity. North 145th East Avenue, 86th Street North to 106th Street North is a project that qualifies for these funds. The original project was a two (2) lane county road that has been incorporated into the City of Owasso street maintenance system. The lanes have been widened in several areas to accommodate subdivisions like Preston Lakes, Camelot Estates and the Villages at Silver Creek. The project was constructed with asphalt surfacing, which has withstood many years of large traffic volumes (as high as 10,000 vehicles per day) due to excellent construction of the subgrade and base material. However, after many years of service the asphalt surface course needs replacement. SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM (STP) FUNDS: 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, help advance the Regional Transportation Plan through safety improvements, and reduce traffic congestion. Proposed projects are evaluated for eligibility and prioritized based on a 100 -point rating system. While the two project categories (rehabilitation and capacity improvements) are scored and prioritized separately, they both compete for the total funding amount available. The total funding for projects is $15,000,000 for the FY 2022 -2023 funding year. $6,000,000 is designated to regional expressway system implementation, which leaves $9,000,000 for remaining projects. No single entity can receive more than a sum of $3,000,000 for any fiscal year for all projects. In November, 2019, INCOG solicited for STP funding applications with an application submittal deadline of January 17, 2020, and a resolution submittal deadline of February 19, 2020. PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE: Similar to the process utilized in obtaining federal funding assistance for previous STP projects, such as the East 86th Street North resurfacing project submitted last year, a resolution is necessary in order to complete the application process. The application will request federal funding assistance for construction of the roadway improvements. If this project is selected in the spring of 2020, the funding for construction will be targeted in FY 2022 -2023 or sooner, depending on funding availability. CONCEPTUAL COST SUMMARY: North 145th East Avenue is considered a secondary arterial in Owasso. The roadway is heavily used and conveys residential, commercial, school and commuter traffic to and from Owasso. The proposed work for this section of roadway is to remove the surface course of pavement and replace it with a new surface course. The pavement will be restriped. Drainage will be improved by cleaning the existing drainage ditches for positive drainage. Based on the conceptual cost estimate, the anticipated cost for construction of the proposed roadway improvements is listed below. Construction administration (testing, inspection and administration of pay applications) is equal to 10% of the construction fee. Budgeting another 15% for engineering, surveying, and geotechnical exploration, the estimated total project cost is $1,717,665. If authorized by the City Council, the City will pay for engineering design locally and request ODOT funding to contribute toward construction. ODOT funding for this project would be through the Surface Transportation Program, which would fund 80% of eligible construction costs, while the local government funds 20 %. Based upon this information, the following is a project estimate: Project Segment Estimate ODOT Portion City of Owasso Construction $1,374,124 $1,099,299 $274,825 Administration $137,412 $109,930 $27,482 Utility Relocation N/A N/A N/A Right -of -way N/A N/A N/A Engineering $206,119 N/A $206,119 Total Project Cost $1,717,665 $1,209,229 $508,426 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2020 -02, authorizing the submittal of an application for Surface Transportation Program funds for the North 145th East Avenue, East 86th Street North to East 106th Street North, Rehabilitation Project.
