Grant Application
ISSUE
Authorize the submittal of a grant application for federal transportation funds.
BACKGROUND
WSDOT announced that 2015 City Safety grant applications are due on July 16. This
program includes $37 million of federal funds to fund the design /preliminary
engineering, right -of -way, and construction phases of projects that will use engineering
countermeasures to reduce fatal and serious injury collisions on city streets and state
highways. WSDOT Highways and Local Programs are overseeing the competitive
process for this federal grant program. Projects advertised for construction by
September 30, 2017 are eligible for 100% funding for construction (no local match is
required for eligible federal expenditures). Final project selections will be made in
December 2014 and grant funds will be available in 2015.
DISCUSSION
The Transportation Committee requested a study regarding guardrail and /or barrier
warrants along 42nd Avenue South in Allentown. The goal of the study was to identify
applicable design and safety standards, roadside barrier needs and any upgrades or
modifications available to existing guard rail and concrete barriers.
The study was completed in September 2013 and funds were budgeted in 2014/2015
to begin implementation. A design consultant has been selected and will proceed with
the design phase of this project. The City will pursue WSDOT grant funds for the
construction phase of this project with Transportation Committee approval. Currently
full construction funding is in beyond, but if the grant submittal is successful, funding
will be moved to 2015.
RECOMMENDATION
Committee approval to submit a grant application for the 42nd Ave South /Allentown
Roadside Barrier Project.
