Fifth Street Vancouver, WA 98661 The purpose of this agreement is to document the intent of Kittitas County to meet its match requirement for the subject project as authorized under 23 USC 201(b)(7)(B) With this agreement, Western Federal Lands Highway Division, FHWA authorizes this project as eligible for federal participation. The purpose of this project is to replace the bridge with a wider and longer structure that will safely provide access for all vehicles. bicyclists, and pedestrians. This agreement does not commit the parties to complete the project, but, rather sets forth the respective responsibilities as the project proceeds. Any subsequent decisions to complete final design and to construct the project will depend on authorizing legislation, NEPA analysis, availability of appropriations, and matching funds at the time of obligation. The authority for FHWA to enter into this agreement is under Title 23 U.S.C. Section 204 . Funding: The Federal Lands Access Program(FLAP) under Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) authorizes FHWA to provide funding for specific projects. The Program Decision Committee (PDC), consisting of FHWA, the State of Washington, and an organization representing the local agencies of the state, is designated to jointly decide upon projects funded in the state. The PDC has selected this project for programming under the Washington State Federal Lands Access Program. All FLAP expenditures associated with this project after execution of this match agreement will need to be matched by a Non-Federal source, by other Federal funds other than those made available under Titles 23 and 49 of the United States Code, or by funds made available under 23 U.S.C 202 and 203. The matching requirement under the FAST Act will be met by Kittitas County and other agencies that have committed to the project in subsequent agreements. The forms of match shall be those consistent with the 'Federal-Aid Guidance Non-Federal Matching Requirements' and as approved by FHWA. In the state of Washington, the match rate is 13.5% of the total project cost. This project is authorized to use a Tapered Match. Under this approach, the non-Federal match is imposed over the entire project rather than individual progress payments. The terms and form of the Match will be documented in the project Memorandum of Agreement (MOA} in coordination with the appropriate agencies to be executed at a later date. The final Match will be determined based on actual expenditures at the conclusion of project work. Matching cash funds in FHWA receipt may need to be supplemented, or returned, once actual expenditures are determined. WA KITTITAS 5880(1), Dickey Creek Bridge Page 1 of 3
