ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Consider approval of a Resolution authorizing an application with TxDOT for the 2019 Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program and committing the City's 20% match for construction and TxDOT administrative review.
BACKGROUND
Earlier this year, Texas City submitted a preliminary application to TxDOT under their Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TASA) program. The City's project is a pedestrian facility / sidewalk along FM 1765 between Vauthier and Amburn (see attached project map). If constructed, this facility will improve pedestrian connectivity between residential areas, retail activity and public schools.
TxDOT has notified the City that our preliminary application is complete and approved and that we should submit the final application. One of the required items is a funding commitment by the applicant. This Resolution will demonstrate the City's commitment to funding the project. Our participation includes design, environmental clearance, TxDOT administration, and at least 20% of the construction cost. That total effort for the City's part is estimated to be $60,000.
