body
BACKGROUND
NCTCOG opened a Call for Projects on September 15, 2017. Applications were due on October 13, 2017. Approximately $2.9 million was available to fund Minor Intersection Improvement Program projects within the 10-county air quality non-attainment area.
The City of Dallas submitted its city-wide signals list meeting the project call criteria by October 13, 2017. The NCTCOG evaluated and selected the attached list of locations which was approved by the Regional Transportation Council on April 12, 2018. The total project cost is $900,000.00. A local match of $180,000.00 is required for the project. The City of Dallas will cover 11.4% of the local match totaling $102,600.00 for the off-system portion of this program and TxDOT will cover the remaining 8.6% totaling $77,400.00 for the on-system portion of the project. The City of Dallas will be reimbursed for a total of $797,400.00 towards the project by NCTCOG.
Authorization of this amendment will allow the City of Dallas to seek reimbursement for eligible costs up to the Maximum Reimbursement Amount of $797,400.00. The maximum reimbursement amount cannot exceed the total federal reimbursement amount and any State Match. Resolution No. 20-1142 authorized the payment of the 11.4% of the local match to NCTCOG in the amount of $102,600.00 but did not authorize the City the ability to seek reimbursement for excess costs associated with the implementation of the Minor Intersection Improvement Program, as outlined in the agreement.
