CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
Council Meeting of June 15, 2010
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director
From: Chris Brown, City Engineer
Date: May 28, 2010
Subject: A Resolution Affirming the City Council's Decision to Approve the Use of Federal -Aid Funds in
the Fayetteville Expressway Economic Development Corridor Project for Van Asche Drive,
from Garland Avenue to Gregg Avenue.
PROPOSAL:
Resolution 92-07, approved on May 15, 2007, recognizes Van Asche Drive as one of three projects (along with
the Roundabout and Flyover Projects) to be constructed using Federal earmark funds from the 2005 Federal
Highway Bill. At the time of passage of this Resolution, the Federal Highway Administration denied the use of
federal funds through the earmark for Van Asche since the language in the Highway Bill did not specifically
mention Van Asche Drive. This has been rectified with a Technical Correction to the Highway Bill, and Van
Asche Drive is now eligible for funding under this earmark.
The total estimated cost of construction for this project as conceptualized in the attached drawing is $3.5
million. Right of way, engineering, and construction management costs bring the total estimated project cost to
$5.23 million. Federal funding left over after the Roundabout and Flyover Projects will be more fully defined
after these projects are let to construction, but the current estimate is that approximately $2 million in federal
funding will be available for the Van Asche Project. In order to use the federal funding, an agreement with the
Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) will need to be developed.
As has been the case with our other federally funded projects, utilizing federal funds on this project will most
likely result in additional time and cost required to receive Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approvals
throughout the project development process. However, the availability of the federal funding will provide the
opportunity to complete the project sooner than would be possible otherwise.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of a resolution that:
1) Affirms the City Council decision to utilize federal aid funds for the Van Asche Drive Project.
THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAA
2) Authorizes the Mayor to sign an Agreement with the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation
Department
The Street Committee reviewed this proposal at the May 26, 2010 Street Committee, and voted to recommend
approval of this resolution.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There is no cost associated with this request at this time. Any utilization of federal funds will require a 20%
match from the Transportation Bond Program.
RESOLUTION NO.
