In November 2001 the City was awarded this project under the program. The <br />Advance Funding Agreement is the first step in pursuing this project for the City of La Porte. <br /> <br />The agreement provides the procedure for implementation of the scope of work. In summary, the <br />City will hire an Architect to design the project and perform all the preliminary steps necessary <br />to get the project design in line with TxDOT requirements. TxDOT will hire and administer the <br />actual construction contract portion of the project. Total cost of the project is estimated to be <br />$228,010, with the City's share of20% expected to be $45,602. Under the contract, the City will <br />pay any costs over the projected budget. Upon completion, the City will be responsible for <br />maintenance of the project for a period of at least 10 years. <br /> <br />This project was not budgeted because there was no guarantee that the City would receive the <br />award; however in the FY 1999-2000 CIP budget, funds were set aside for future park projects in <br />the amount of$100,000. These funds are available to move the City toward its beautification <br />goals as envisioned in both the Comprehensive Plan Update as well as the Park Master Plan. <br />StaiIis recommending that this account (GEN813) be used to fund this project. <br /> <br />Action Reauired bv Council: <br />Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute an Advance Funding <br />Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation, Statewide Transportation <br />Enhancement Program, and authorizing $46,000 to fund the City's share of said Agreement. <br /> <br />Approved for City Council A2enda <br /> <br />Q~ " \-l~ <br /> <br />Robert T.
