TO: The Honorable Mayor and Council
FROM: H. Dwayne Henderson, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-01, Application for Surface Transportation Block Grant Funds -East
86rh Street North Lane Widening, North Garnett to North 1 19rh East Avenue Project
DATE: February 13, 2025
BACKGROUND:
On January 15, 2025, Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) opened
applications for the FY 2027 Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds. The
submittal deadline is March 14, 2025. This item was discussed during the February 2025
Worksession meeting.
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 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).
Similar to previous STBG projects, a resolution is necessary 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 2025, the funding for
construction will be targeted in FY 2027 or sooner, depending on funding availability.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
• East 86rh Street North Lane Widening, North Garnett to North 119rh East Avenue Project
has increased traffic counts to 20,000 to 25,000 vehicles per day (VPD).
• Staff has had to have the roadway signals coordinated several times to adjust to the
increased traffic and turning movement.
• The roadway section is programmed to be studied in detail concurrently with an
updated Transportation Master Plan. However, the STBG funding opportunity was
released prior to the study being funded and performed.
• Construction funds for this grant will not be available for several years but submitting
projects for future funding is crucial.
• Staff will work with ODOT while they study improvements to the interchange.
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.

STBG Funding
The total funding available through this two-year funding cycle application for FY 2026 and FY
2027 combined is $44,000.000. Funding of $6,000,000 is designated to the Gilcrease Expressway
for 2-years of debt service, which leaves $32,000,000 for remaining projects. The maximum
amount of funds for any single project is $4,000,000.
CONCEPTUAL COST SUMMARY:
East 861h 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 extend the roadway lanes to the north and south
as needed, update signals with our newest design and technology standard, install new signals
where warranted, move utilities, extend drainage structures, and replace sidewalks. Pavement
replacement will be needed to raise the crown of the road to accommodate the widened
roadway.
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 8% for
engineering, surveying, and geotechnical exploration, the estimated total project cost is
$12,525,798.
If authorized by the City Council, the City will pay for engineering design, utility relocation, and
right-of-way costs locally and request FHWA funding to contribute toward construction and
administration. FHWA funding for this project would be through the Surface Transportation
Program, which would fund 80% of eligible construction costs (for a maximum of $4,000,000)
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):
Project Segment

On this project, the City of Owasso would be obligated to 68% of the project costs. FHWA would
contribute 32% of the project costs due to the $4,000,000 maximum funding per project.

Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2025-01.
