Stevens, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Julie Lombardi, City A TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council From: H. Dwayne Henderson, P.E. City Engineer Subject: Resolution 2021 -09, Application for Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act Funding Main Street from Broadway to East 11 th Street Rehabilitation Project Date: May 14, 2021 BACKGROUND: On December 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (CRRSAA) was signed into law and included $900 billion in supplemental appropriations for COVID -19 relief, of which $14 billion is allocated to support the transit industry during the COVID -19 public health emergency. In April 2021, Indian Nations Council of Governments ( INCOG) opened applications for the CRRSAA for the INCOG Urbanized Area, which is limited to $6.82 million. The funding is subject to eligibility criteria and entities may choose to seek 100% in federal funds, as allowed by the Act, with a limit of $750,000 per project. Entities may also choose to provide local funds to complete a larger project that may not be possible with the awarded federal funds. No single entity may receive a combined sum of more than $2.25 million for CRRSAA Surface Transportation Program (STP), which limits the funding to three projects per entity. INCOG requests that project sponsors (City of Owasso) prioritize applications if multiple projects are submitted, by indicating a ranking for the submitted projects. INCOG staff recommendations will be forwarded to the Transportation Technical Committee, Transportation Policy Committee and the INCOG Board of Directors for approvals and endorsement later this year. Once allocated, funds will not be allowed for substitution of projects after approval. Projects will be subject to federal rules and regulations once selected, which includes National Environmental Policy Act (environmental clearances) and federal right -of -way procedures, if necessary. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) will enter into agreements and award projects for construction in consultation with the City of Owasso for the project. INCOG may recommend a partial award for any project based on relative scoring of all projects that are submitted. These funds are made available and managed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), through ODOT, for the implementation of eligible transportation improvements in the Tulsa Urbanized Area. The INCOG application process is similar to the annual STP process. The applications are due May 14, 2021, but because resolutions require City Council review and approval, a June 16, 2021, deadline for the resolution is allowed. MAIN STREET PROJECT: Main Street Surface Rehabilitation, Broadway to East 111h Street, is a project that staff is recommending as the best candidate for these funds. The original project was constructed in the 1920's as a state highway. In the 1930's the road section was designated as US Highway 75 /US Highway 169. A project widened the lanes to four (4) -10' wide lanes in the 1950 -60's as the STP funding for Main Street Page 2 subdivisions along Main Street began construction. The south end of Main Street was widened from Broadway to East 76th Street North in 2008. The north end of Main Street has been widened from East 11th Street to 86th Street North as part of the East 86th Street North and Main Street Intersection project in the some time frame. Many turning movements on the narrow roadway cause delays during peak hours. Staff considered this section of roadway for a resurfacing project as part of the annual street rehabilitation program, but the cost estimate exceeded a whole year of program funding. Staff prepared a conceptual cost estimate to remove the surface course on this section of roadway, repave the street after new curb and gutter and sidewalk is completed. The road would be restriped as a road - dieted street with a single, widened lane in each direction and a center turn lane to relieve the turning- movements CONCEPTUAL COST SUMMARY: Main Street is considered a collector street in Owasso, and therefore qualifies for these funds. The roadway is heavily used and conveys residential, commercial, school and commuter traffic from East 86th Street North to East 76th Street North and vice versa. The proposed work for this section of roadway is to remove the surface course of pavement and replace it with a new surface course, remove and replace the deteriorated curb and gutter, sidewalk and drainage structures. The pavement will be restriped as a three (3) lane roadway with one wide lane in each direction with a center turn lane for all of the turning movements in downtown Owasso. The improvements will start at Broadway since Main Street from Broadway to East 76th Street North has been widened and is a fairly new roadway section. The proposed project would end at East l Ith Street to keep out of the signalized intersection and the loops that control signal operation. Construction administration (testing, inspection and administration of pay applications) is equal to 10% of the construction fee. Budgeting another 8% for engineering, surveying and geotechnical exploration, the total project cost is estimated at $2,567,080. The City of Owasso would pay for engineering design, construction management, and a portion of construction with local funds and request ODOT funding to contribute $750,000 toward construction. Staff recommends the City fund the local portion through the Capital Improvement Fund and % Penny Sales Tax Fund. Project Segment Estimate ODOT Portion* City of Owasso* Construction $2,175,492 $750,000 $1,425,492 Administration $217,549 $0 $217,549 Utility Relocation N/A N/A N/A Right -of -way N/A N/A N/A Engineering $174,039 N/A $174,039 Total Project Cost $2,567,080 $750,000 $1,817,080 PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE: Similar to the process utilized in obtaining federal funding assistance for previous STP projects, such as East 76th Street North Widening, Garnett Road Widening, East 116th Street North and North 129th East Avenue Intersection Widening and the East 106th Street North and North 129th STP funding for Main Street Page 3 East Avenue Intersection Improvements, a resolution is necessary in order to complete the application process. The application will request federal funding assistance for the construction of the roadway improvements. If this project is selected in summer 2021, the funding for construction will be targeted in FY 2022 -2023 or sooner, depending on funding availability. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2021 -09, authorizing the submittal of an application for funding assistance between the City of Owasso and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation through the CRRSA STPGP Surface Transportation Program.
