INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM

DATE: February 4, 2022
SUBJECT: 42a Ave South Bridge Replacement Project
Project No. 91810404
National Highway Freight Program (NHFP) Grant Application
ISSUE
Approval to submit a grant application to the National Highway Freight Program (NHFP) for the 42nd
Ave S Bridge Replacement Project in the amount of $2,000,000.
BACKGROUND
The 42nd Ave S Bridge is a critical link to the Allentown neighborhood and is the primary access route
in and out of the BNSF intermodal yard. The replacement of this structure is a high priority for the
City; however, grant funding is needed to complete this project. The City applied for state funding to
replace the bridge in 2017 and 2019 through federally supported grants programs, but was
unsuccessful in these requests. In 2020, the City approved $1.078 million in funding to begin the 30%
design for the 42nd Ave S Bridge Replacement. The City has an additional $2.942 million in Solid
Waste Utility Tax budgeted for this project.
In 2021, the City received $1.5 million in federal funding from the Puget Sound Regional Council
(PSRC) to complete the design phase and $12 million from the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) Local Bridge Program, which can support all phases of the 42nd Ave S
Bridge replacement.
The 42nd Ave S Bridge Replacement Project is estimated to be approximately $4-10 million short of
being fully funded. The City continues to apply for local, state, and federal funding opportunities to fill
this funding gap.
DISCUSSION
On January 18, 2022, the Puget Sound Regional Council opened their call for project for NHFP funding.
The NHFP is a federal funding source for projects within the boundaries of public or private freight rail
that facilitate direct interchange, transfer, and access to a freight rail yard. Funds can be used for
design, construction, or right of way. The deadline to submit an application for funding is March 4, 2022.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City is requesting $2 million from the NHFP grant to fund construction of the 42nd Ave S Bridge
project. This grant requires a 13.5% local City match of $306,450. The Soid Waste Utility Tax budgeted
for this project is more than sufficient to cover the match.
