The City proposes to replace an existing deficient wood bridge with a concrete culvert bridge. The new bridge will cost a total of approximately $40,000.00. The local match participation required for the reconstruction of the Participation-Waived bridge is $28,919.00.
This resolution requests TxDOT’s consideration of waiving the local match participation on the Participation-Waived Off-System Bridge Program by utilizing funds expended in the Bridge Rehabilitation/Replacement Program under the City’s Capital Improvement Plan.
ACTION RECOMMENDED: It is recommended that City Council approve a resolution supporting the Waiver of Local Match Participation Requirements for the Federal Off-System Bridge Program.
