Thomas Gill, Jr., Interim Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-64: Relating to Public Works; authorizing the application for Federal Transportation Enhancement funds to implement paved shoulders suitable for bicycle use on Tangerine Road from the Union Pacific Railroad to approximately 1.4 miles east. DISCUSSION Tangerine Road from Breakers to Thomyda1e was improved in 1994 (Project No. 99-049) and included new pavement and paved shoulders. Tangerine Road from 1-10 to Breakers was realigned and improved by the Town in 1997; however, paved shoulders were not included in this project. The Tangerine Road Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) project proposes construction of approximately 1.4 miles of six-foot wide paved shoulders suitable for bicycle use, improved/enhanced safety for disabled vehicles as well as provide structural support to the pavement. The completion of this project will provide for continuous paved shoulders from the UPRR easterly to Thomyda1e Road, a distance of approximately 7.1 miles. The maximum grant amount available through the Transportation Enhancement Program is $500,000. The total cost for this project is estimated at $430,000. There is a federally required 5.7% cash match, and a $3,000 review fee if the project is approved to receive grant funding. Scoping costs, including survey, Design Concept Report, and Environmental Detennination are not eligible for grant funding. If the application is successful, it is anticipated that the Town's share will be approximately $60,000 including scoping costs, the 5.7% match and the review fee. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the application for the Federal Transportation Enhancement funds to implement paved shoulders suitable for bicycle use on Tangerine Road from the UPRR to approximately 1.4 miles east. SUGGESTED MOTION I move to adopt Resolution No. 2005-64.
