SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
In June 2001 the City submitted a proposal to the Texas Department of Transportation, Statewide
Transportation Program (TxDOT STEP) for beautification of SH 225 at the Sens Road
intersection. In November 2001 the City was awarded this project under the program. The
Advance Funding Agreement is the first 'step in pursuing this project for the City of La Porte.
The agreement provides the procedure for implementation of the scope of work. In summary, the
City will hire an Architect to design the project and perform all the preliminary steps necessary
to get the project design in line with TxDOT requirements. TxDOT will hire and administer the
actual construction contract portion of the project. Total cost of the project is estimated to be
$228,010, with the City's share of20% expected to be $45,602. Under the contract, the City will
pay any costs over the projected budget. Upon completion, the City will be responsible for
maintenance of the project for a period of at least 10 years.
This project was not budgeted because there was no guarantee that the City would receive the
award~ however in the FY 1999-2000 CIP budget, funds were set aside for future park projects in
the amount of $100,000. These funds are available to move the City toward its beautification
goals as envisioned in both the Comprehensive Plan Update as well as the Park Master Plan.
Staffis recommending that this account (GEN813) be used to fund this project.
Action Required bv Council:
Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute an Advance Funding
Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation, Statewide Transportation
Enhancement Program. and authorizing $46,000 to fund the City's share of said Agreement.
