Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to an agreement between the Tennessee Department of Transportation (“TDOT”) and the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (“NDOT”) previously approved pursuant to Resolution No. RS2022-1626. RS2022-1626 accepted a pass-through Federal COVID Relief Funds for Transportation Improvements grant and approved an intergovernmental agreement for work in connection with the construction of pedestrian safety and multimodal intersection improvements at the following four intersections: Dickerson Pike and Hart Lane, Dickerson Pike and Lucile Street, Rosa L Parks Boulevard and Hume Street, and Rosa L Parks Boulevard and Taylor Street.
The amendment under consideration would replace Exhibit A to the original agreement. According to the updated Exhibit A, the total project cost of $1,145,000 would not change. However, NDOT’s share of the cost would be increased in certain categories from 0% to 20%, including during the design and construction phases. This would increase Metro’s share of the total project cost from $304,020 to $468,216. No other changes would be made.
Fiscal Note: This grant amendment replaces the Exhibit A of the intergovernmental agreement with TDOT as approved by RS2022-1626 for a total project cost of $1,145,000. This Exhibit A is changing TDOT’s shared cost from $840,980 to $676,784 and Metro’s cost share from $304,020 to $468,216.
