body
Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning COF Contract No. 2019-0167.
Background
In 2018, the City received notice that its application for construction funding for the Harlinsdale Farm Multi-use Path & Bridge project had received funding through the 2017 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant cycle. The purpose of this project is to construct a multi-use path and bridge to connect the existing trail within the Chestnut Bend subdivision to Harlinsdale Farm. The TAP program requires a 20% construction funding match from the local agency. The total amount of federal funds awarded with this grant is $2,000,000, with the remaining $500,000 to be funded locally. This LAPA allows the City of Franklin to manage the project locally and to request reimbursement for construction costs.
This Agreement is for the initial due diligence phase of the project and includes coordination with the bridge and hydraulic design team to identify the preliminary horizontal and vertical alignments for the bridge and for the multi-use path to connect to the trail system.
Financial Impact
$29,176.00 - Capital Projects Fund or as determined by Finance Department
