Discussion: When Measure "A" was passed in 1988, one of the provisions stated that 15% of the funds would go to State Highways. Highway 111 was one of those to receive funds from the special 15% allocation. Under the Tier I allotment, the City made improvements through a series of projects along Highway 111, ultimately providing six through lanes across the city. A second allotment was announced for cities which had not yet constructed an improvement project on Highway 111. After all the Tier I and Tier II projects were allocated, a sizable amount of money remained. In light of this, CVAG has decided to put out a call for projects for Tier III Highway 111 Measure "A" funded projects. Funding in the amount of approximately $9 million of Tier III funds will be available for the Coachella Valley for programming in the coming fiscal years. Projects considered eligible for Tier III funds include those that relieve traffic congestion, increase safety, improve air quality, or enhance capacity. There is a minimum request of $250,000 and a maximum request of $2,500,000. The reimbursement ratio will be: Tier III funds 75% / local match 25%. Public Works staff is proposing the preparation of Approval to Submit Applications for Measure "A" Highway 111 Fier III Funding Page 2of2 December 13, 2007 applications for Tier III construction funding for the two projects identified on the attached list and vicinity map. Project "A" Project "A" addresses several issues that, when completed, will optimize traffic flow, improve rideability, standardize markings, and provide for ADA compliance on Highway 111. Project "A" has not yet been designed and the construction is not budgeted. Public Works requests an appropriation of $4,250,000 for design and construction of Project "A". If the project is funded with Tier III Measure A funds, CVAG will reimburse $2.5 million. Project "B" Project "B" addresses two sites that are already budgeted for improvements. Additionally, the City received CMAQ grants totaling $1.3 million for the project. By utilizing Tier III Measure A funds to match the previously approved CMAQ funds, City funds may be used for other projects. No additional appropriation is required for this project. Staff therefore requests that City Council authorize the submission of applications to CVAG for consideration for Tier III funding of the above -named projects.
