ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Approval of Interlocal Agreement by and between Galveston County and The City of Texas City to provide funding for construction of Amburn Road.
BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND:
Through negotiations with the City, Galveston County listed Amburn Road as one of the roadway projects to be funded by the County’s November, 2008 Bond Election. The level of County funding is established at $3,620,000.
In an effort to expedite the construction of Amburn Road, the City authorized Claunch & Miller to begin the engineering design of Amburn Road. The roadway design is complete and the project is ready to bid, however, County bond funding is not available. To be able to take advantage of the current, good construction pricing, the City will need to initially fund the construction of Amburn Road. Claunch & Miller’s latest estimate for construction is $2.7 million.

ANALYSIS
This Interlocal Agreement provides for reimbursing the City for Amburn Road construction costs once County bond funds become available.
