BACKGROUND The Washington State Department of Transportation Active Transportation Division (WSDOT) has issued a Call for Projects inviting applicants to submit projects for funding through the Pedestrian and Bicycle Program (PBP) and Safe Routes to School (SRTS). Current City policy requires approval by the appropriate Committee before applying for grants. Grant applications are due by July 13, 2020 for the PBP and July 20, 2020 for the SRTS. DISCUSSION WSDOT typically issues call for projects for these two fund sources every -other year. There is no match required for these grants, but preference will be given to projects that provide some match, whether cash or in -kind. Staff recommends the City submit applications for two projects: Project Description Source Total Cost Grant Amt. City Match Construct widening, $10 0,000 Green River illumination, wayfinding, PBP $1,000,000 $900,000 (10%n- In- Trail Project Ped Bridge to Kind) Christensen Construct curb, gutter, $200,000 S 152nd Street sidewalk on both sides, SRTS $3,000,000 $2,800,000 (7% In -Kind) on -street parkin The Green River Trail project is "shovel -ready" as the design, permitting, and mitigation was completed as part of the Pedestrian Bridge Project. Construction would begin in early 2021. S 152nd Street design has been fully funded by a System Access Fund grant through Sound Transit. Design will begin this summer with construction beginning in 2021 but would more likely be in 2022. FINANCIAL IMPACT The estimated total project cost may change as both projects are still being updated. With reductions of available revenue limited due to COVID-19 impacts, staff recommends the grant applications include an in -kind match of staff time for the construction management. Existing staff is available with the necessary skills to provide the majority of the construction management and inspection for both projects with a small amount of support from outside consultants. If the grants are awarded, there could be a negative financial impact to either the general fund or the arterial street fund, depending on what staff is assigned to the project. It needs to be clearly noted that the S 152nd St project is accounted for in the Residential Street fund and that no staff are budgeted in this fund. If this grant is awarded, labor costs for any staff assigned to this project would need to be reallocated from their home fund to the residential street fund. RECOMMENDATION Committee approval to submit grant applications to the Pedestrian and Bicycle Program for the Greet River Trail Improvements Project and S 152nd Street Safe Routes to School Project.
