Body
BACKGROUND
Second Avenue (southbound) at White Rock Creek, NBI Structure Number 18-057-0-9S23-40-008 is an Equivalent Match Project (EMP), for which the City of Dallas will perform the structural and safety improvements. In turn, the City will receive a waiver for the local match fund participation requirement for the Second Avenue Bridge (northbound) at White Rock Creek, NBI Structure Number 18-057-0-9S23-40-003, the Participation-Waved Project (PWP) of the Federal Off-system Bridge Replacement or Rehabilitation Program that was being replaced by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The improvement work on the EMPs shall be performed subsequently to the final execution of the Agreement, but within three calendar years after the earliest contract award of the related PWPs.
TxDOT awarded the replacement of the PWP in 2017; however, the EMP being repaired by the City is still under construction, and the District Engineer of TxDOT recently approved the City’s request to grant additional time to complete the project. This action will authorize Amendment No. 1 to the Advanced Funding Agreement to extend the completion time requirement from three calendar years to five calendar years.
If this agreement is not authorized by the City, it will result in the City being excluded from receiving such waivers for a minimum of five years.
