Fifth Street Vancouver, WA 98661 Purpose of Agreement: The purpose of this agreement is to document the intent of Jefferson County to meet its match requirement for the subject project as authorized under 23 USC 201(b)(7)(B) With this agreement, Western Federal Lands Highway Division, FHWA authorizes this project as eligible for federal participation. The purpose of this project is to preserve vehicular access to Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park: Bogachiel Rain Forest Trail #825, the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail, and private property, by relocating Undie Road. This agreement does not commit the parties to complete the project, but, rather sets forth the respective responsibilities as the project proceeds. Any subsequent decisions to complete final design and to construct the project will depend on authorizing legislation, NEPA analysis, availability of appropriations, and matching funds at the time of obligation. The authority for FHWA to enter into this agreement is under Title 23 U.S.C. Section 204. Funding: The Federal Lands Access Program(FLAP) under Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) authorizes FHWA to provide funding for specific projects. The Program Decision Committee (PDC), consisting of FHWA, the State of Washington, and an organization representing the local agencies of the state, is designated to jointly decide upon projects funded in the state. The PDC has selected this project for programming under the Washington State Federal Lands Access Program. All FLAP expenditures associated with this project after execution of this match agreement will need to be matched by a Non -Federal source, by other Federal funds other than those made available under Titles 23 and 49 of the United States Code, or by funds made available under 23 U.S.0 202 and 203. The matching requirement under the FAST Act will be met by Jefferson County and other agencies that have committed to the project in subsequent agreements. The forms of match shall be those consistent with the 'Federal -Aid Guidance Non -Federal Matching Requirements' and as approved by FHWA. In the state of Washington, the match rate is 13.5% of the total project cost. This project is authorized to use a Tapered Match. Under this approach, the non -Federal match is imposed over the entire project rather than individual progress payments. The terms and form of the Match will be documented in the project Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in coordination with the appropriate agencies to be executed at a later date. The final Match will be determined based on actual expenditures at the conclusion of project work. Matching cash funds in FHWA receipt may need to be supplemented, or returned, once actual expenditures are determined. WA JEFF 150009(1) Undie Road Relocation Page 1 of 3 .e ~'.

The attached Match Agreement with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is necessary in order to initiate the expenditure of FLAP funds by Western Federal Highway Lands (WFL) division. Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pros s* Cons: Undie Road on the north bank of the Bogachiel River slid into the river and disconnected access to homes, USFS trailheads and the Olympic National Park. This road access was also designated by US Congress as part of the Pacific Northwest Trail. Jefferson County relocated Undie Road to higher ground in 2016 as an emergency project funded by FEMA. This new primitive emergency road is called Undi Road Bypass, County Road No. 151009. Permanent improvements are needed to secure long-term access to federal lands. This project will be performed by WFL engineers to widened the bypass alignment and add guardrail for improved access to trailheads and Jefferson County residents. Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: This agreement commits WSDOT toll credits in the amount of $312,422 (13.5%) as match for the FLAP funds. The County receives project benefit valued at $2,001,814 as performed by WFL. No County road funds are programmed for this project in the adopted 6 -year TIP. Recommendation: The Board is requested to authorize the chair of the Board to sign three originals of the federal Match Agreement and return all three originals to the Public Works department for further processing.
