Resolution 2023 -09, Application for Surface Transportation Block Grant Funds
East 86th Street North /North Main Street to North Garnett Road Widening
Project
April 14, 2023
In March 2023, Indian Nations Council of Governments ( INCOG) opened applications for the FY
2025 Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds (formerly the Surface Transportation
Program). 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. Projects qualifying for funding
must: provide system preservation (maintenance), management and integration (traffic
management systems), arterial intersections (safety and capacity enhancements),
transportation alternatives (sidewalks, trails, carpooling) and capacity expansion (arterials and
interchanges that are listed on the major street and highway plan).
East 861h Street North from North Main Street to North Garnett Road is a project that qualifies for
these funds. The original project was constructed in 2002 -2003 as part of a State Transportation
Program (STP) project to widen East 86th Street North when the road was a two (2) lane road. The
project was widened to a four (4) lane road with asphalt surfacing, which has withstood 20 years
of large traffic volumes (as high as 21,900 vehicles per day) due to excellent construction of the
subgrade and base material. However, after 20 years of service this section of roadway has
reached capacity.
All other sections of East 861h Street North in Owasso, over 20,000 cars per day, are widened to
five (5) lanes. The fifth lane does not add capacity per se, but allows left turning cars to move
out of the driving lanes and allows more traffic to travel freely through the area.
STBG FUNDS:
INCOG will administer the grant funds and has established a selection process for the distribution
of STBG 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 200 -point rating system.
The total funding available through this application is $22,000,000 for the FY 2025 funding year.
$6,000,000 is designated to the Gilcrease Expressway implementation, which leaves $16,000,000
for remaining projects. $3,000,000 is the maximum amount of funds for any single project.
On March 8, 2023, INCOG solicited for STBG funding applications with a submittal deadline of
April 21, 2023.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE:
Similar to previous INCOG sponsored projects, 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 the summer of 2023, the funding for
construction will be targeted in FY 2025 or sooner, depending on funding availability.
CONCEPTUAL COST SUMMARY:
East 86th Street North is considered a primary 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 replace the asphalt pavement with concrete
pavement on the existing lanes, and add a fifth lane to the north side of the road. Several utilities
will need to be relocated. Since both ends of the projects are signalized with older equipment,
staff plans to replace the traffic signalization with the newest design and technology standard.
Based on the conceptual cost estimate, the anticipated cost for construction of the proposed
roadway improvements are listed below. Construction administration (testing, inspection and
administration of pay applications) is equal to 12% of the construction fee. Budgeting 8% for
engineering, surveying and geotechnical exploration, the estimated total project cost is
$7,107,045.
If authorized by the City Council, the City will pay for engineering design locally and request
FHWA funding to contribute towards construction. FHWA funding for this project would be
through the STBG program, which would fund 80% of eligible construction costs (for a maximum
of $3,000,000) while the local government funds 20 %. Based upon this information, the following is
a project estimate (projected out 5% inflation annually for 5 years, as per the application
requirements):

RECOMMENDATION:

phase of East 86th Street North from North Main Street to North Garnett Road Widening Project as
a candidate for federal funding assistance through the STBG Program.
