Subject: Rural Arterial Program (RAP) Project Agreement for Construction
Proposal with the County Road Administration Board (CRAB)
South Discovery Road Pavement Preservation MP 3.20 - 4.56
Statement of Issue:
Jefferson County submitted one application to the County Road Administration Board
(CRAB) for Rural Arterial Program (RAP) funding consideration for the 2015 -2017
biennium. This proposal qualified for funding. CRAB has provided a project agreement
which must be executed within 45 days of April 16, 2015 in order to secure the Rural
Arterial Trust Account (RATA) funds for this project.
Analysis /Strategic Goals /Pro's rt Con's:
This road segment has poor structure and surface condition. The project includes dig -
out repair and pavement resurfacing. This project is #21 on the 2015 -2020 Six -Year
Transportation Improvement Program. Construction is scheduled for the summer of
2018.
Fiscal Impact /Cost Benefit Analysis:
Local funds available for road construction are limited. The Rural Arterial Program is
a primary funding source available to counties for road improvements. The RAP Grant
provides 90% of the needed project funds. County road fund will be used to match the
RAP grant at 10% of the project cost. The project cost is estimated at $500,000.
Recommendation:
Authorize the chair to sign three original Rural Arterial Program Project Agreements.
Return to Public Works for further processing.
