From: William Casey, Public Works gtASr -P
Agenda Item: Statewide Transportation Improvement Program
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The City of Seward currently has two federal earmarks for transportation improvement projects. The
first earmark grants the city $2M strictly for road improvement projects. This earmark does not
require a match from the city. The second earmark grants the city $2.7M for road, sidewalk and
drainage improvement projects. This earmark does require a match of approximately $300K from the
city.
A draft list of priorities for both earmarks was presented to council on March 8, 2010 and modified to
come up with a defined priority list for expending the available funds. The city council solicited
public comments on these priorities and have been provided with a copy of all of the public
comments. The city council met to discuss the public feedback and the priority list was again
modified.
In order to obligate these funds, the City must provide a defined scope of work by no later than
September 2010 or the funds may be reallocated. The attached priority lists define the roads and
sidewalks in which the City wishes to expend the federal grant monies. To secure these funds the
City of Seward, City Council must adopt a final road and sidewalk priority list to submit to
ADOT &PF.
INTENT: The City of Seward, City Council adopts the road and sidewalk priorities as attached that
are to be funded using the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program and Federal Earmark
monies. The adopted list will be forwarded to ADOT &PF in order to secure two federal earmark for
road and sidewalk repair and improvements. After ADOT &PF receives the adopted list, they will
assign costs to the associated work and further work with the City to determine a feasible project and
timeline.
FISCAL NOTE: One of the available earmarks requires a match of approximately $300,000.
