DATE: September 11, 2006
BACKGROUND:
Under the Federal Enhancement Program, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT)
provides financial assistance to local government for the enhancement and beautification of
community thoroughfares. The program — which is funded by the Surface Transportation Program
(STP) — is not a grant but rather a mechanism that allows successful applicants to use federal funding
for design and construction of local improvements. Funding may be used for preparation of
construction plans and specifications, environmental mitigation, acquisition of real property,
construction, construction management and other activities that "enhance the transportation
experience." Projects approved .for funding are eligible for up to 80% of allowable costs not to exceed
$400,000 during any given award year.
Pre - Application Submission (PAS) packages are due to Indian Nation Council of Government
(ODOT Program Administrator) on or before October 2, 2006. A signed resolution from the Council
must accompany the application to guarantee matching fields from the City. If approved by the PAS
committee, the project will be submitted to the Transportation Enhancement Committee for Final
Application Submission on or before January 2, 2007.
GRANT APPLICATIQNS QjAg 2005
In an effort to continue the work initiated under the 2005 ODOT Tree Grant Program and Vision 2025
Main Street Rehabilitation Project, the proposal requests funding for the enhancement and/or
beautification of the E. 76th Street North corridor at US highway 169. Specifically, the request
includes acquisition and planting of trees acquisition and nlstallau of fighting fixtures on the exiting
median and construction of a sidewalk corridor along the south side of East 76'1' Street North.
The Oivasso Downtown Development plan (2001) identifies this location (US highway 169 and East
'76'x' Street North Interchange) as a gateway to the Owasso community — an ideal location for the
placement of aesthetic features. The proposed work will compliment the beautification efforts
planned at Main Street — allowing its impact to extend to US highway 169. Additionally, it will
provide a visually pleasing view of the historic area and a physical link to the surrounding sights.
Proposed improvements will include replacement of existing concrete medians with landscaped

bricked medians, equipped with irrigation and decorative lighting. Additionally, enhancements will
include crosswalks and ADA compliant ramps to allow safe pedestrian and bicycle travel along E. 76th
Street North.
Preliminary costs for completion of the proposed project are as follows:
Engineering Design (in- house) 50,000.00
Estimated Construction Cost 500,000.00
Geotechnical Investigation $ 10,000.00
Topographic Survey 10,000.00
Total 570,000.00
FUNDING SOURCE:
In the event the Owasso application is approved for funding, the City will be required to appropriate
matching funds. Matching funding in an amount not to exceed $200,000 would then be
recommended in the form of a supplemental appropriation. It should be noted that the grant and its
matching funding (if approved) will not be expended until FY 2007-2008, allowing for the
appropriation to be included in the City's prioritization and budget process.
