KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />PUBLIC WORKS — BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />WORK SESSION DATE: January 25, 2016 <br />TOPIC: FHWA FLAP Grant Teanaway <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Authorize Grant Documents <br />LEAD STAFF: Mark R. Cook <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Authorize staff prepare final grant match documents. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Public Works has received final notice of award for a Federal Highway <br />Administration Grant funding hydraulic improvements along Teanaway Road. <br />The Federal Lands Access Program grant is for $2,432,074 (preliminary <br />engineering, construction, construction engineering and contingency). Our <br />match requirement is $328,330. <br />We are processing final payment of 2015 Teanaway Road improvements at this <br />time. We are forecasting approximately $350,000 remaining of state funding. <br />We have reviewed the state funding documents and hydraulic improvements are <br />specifically identified in the funding documents as qualified expenditure. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />Using remaining state funds ($350,000) towards our FLAP grant match <br />($328,330) allows an additional $2.4 million in project improvement to the state's <br />investment in the Teanaway. Staff believes the remaining state funds can easily <br />be used for matching our funding obligation against the FLAP grant. <br />FISCAL IMPACTS: <br />FLAP grant match required: $328,330. <br />Remaining state funds: $350,000 +!- <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />EXHIBIT 1: FLAP Grant Documents <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />
