TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM Page 5 of 10 NOMINATION FORM E. CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION. 1t construction will be required, briefly discuss below how it will be accomplished. Include cost estimates. The Bike Loop project will involve a number of "subprojects" that will be undertaken concurrently. Development of the bike paths and bike path under-crossings will be the primary construction activities. Approximately 4.1 miles of 10 feet wide concrete bike paths will be constructed at an estimated cost of $584,000 which accounts for about 44% of the total project cost. Three bike path under-crossings will be constructed at an estimated cost of $238,000. Two of the three under-crossings can use existing box culvert structures while the third will require installation of a new box culvert. The bike path under-crossings make up about 18% of the total project cost. Other construction activities include installation of seven bike path bridges and striping and signing of approximately 3.8 miles of bike lanes. The bridges, made of corten steel, come completely prefabricated and will be set in place with a crane. Their estimated cost is $194,000 which is approximately 14% of the total project cost. The cost to install the bike lanes is estimated at $27,000 which is about 2% of the total project cost. The remaining 22% of the estimated $1.348 million total project cost will be for rig ht-of-way acquisition, engineering design, and contingency. All striping, engineering design, and construction work will be contracted out. The City College Station will provide project management and construction inspection services. F. FACILITY OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN. Rol,Jtine operations and maintenance costs are not allowable enhancement costs. If a facility is being proposed, discuss below how It will be operated and maintained. The plan will identify all parties responsible for operation and maintenance. Estimate the annual cost to maintain said facility, describe the source of those funds, identify expected annual gross income from the facility, if any, and describe the intended use of that income. The College Station Bike Loop will be a free public access bikeway system that will generate no income. The care and maintenance of the bikeway system will be the responsibility of the Public Services Department and the Parks and Recreation Department. These two city departments are currently entrusted with similar maintenance activities. Maintenance activities such as mowing, edging, trash pick-up and sweeping will be shared and the responsibility of both departments. In addition, the Public Services Department will be responsible for bike path concrete repair, bike lane restriping and resigning, and ensuring that all bike path crossings through box culverts are safe and clean at all times. The City's Parks and Recreation Department will have the additional responsibility of bridge maintenance and safety. The estimated annual maintenance cost of the College Station Bike Loop is $125,000. A large majority of this cost is box culvert maintenance. The College Station City Council approved monetary commitment for project maintenance. If the Bike Loop project is selected by the Highway Commission, the $125,000 annual maintenance cost will be included in the annual operating budgets of the Public SeNices and the Parks Department for future years. Many of the maintenance duties associated with the project can be covered under current city maintenance programs. .. TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM Page 6 of 10 PART Ill. PROJECT BENEFITS, IMPACTS, AND PUBLIC SUPPORT. NOMINATION FORM A. PROJECT USE AND BENEFITS. Describe below the benefits of the proposed project. Description should include expected use of any facilities involved and should compare current use with expected use and projected demand for use of the those facilities. Project Use -The potential is there for College Station to have one of the highest percentages of bicyclists per capita 1n the nation and become the most "Bicycle Friendly" community in the State. Compared to other university cities, College Station is a small community despite the fact that it is home to the fourth largest University in the country. Its geographic smallness makes bicycle commuting in College Station a very feasible mode o1 transportation. The general close proximity of off-campus student and faculty housing areas to the Texas A&M campus is a the primary reason for the current high amount bike use in the city. The 1980 census showed that there were 1,447 workers (excluding A&M students) in our area commuting by bicycle. A recent traffic count on one street providing access to campus showed that for every three cars there was one bike. This street had an auto ADT of about 5,000 and bike ADT of 1, 700. A recent survey on the A&M campus indicated that 1 out of every 4 students use a bike. This relates to an additional 10,000 potential bike users on city facilities. College Station is "ripe" for the development of new bicycle facilities and the City is committed to providing them. · Prolect Benefits -The bike loop project has numerous economic, environmental, and social benefits. The current substandard design of the t>tvo-way bike lane on George Bush Drive is a potential liability to the City. Replacing this substandard design with 1-way lanes on both sides of the street as part of this project could potentially save the City millions. The culvert crossings under busy city streets and bridges crossings over creeks greatly improve the project's safety which in tum can be translated into an economic benefit. Other economic benefits include linking residential areas with major commercial areas, easing parking problems, and improving the City's image as a bicycle friendly community. The bike loop will enhance and increase bike use and therefore improve environmental conditions. Bikes make little noise and for every 100 miles travelled by bike instead of a car approximately 96 pounds of pollutants are removed from the air. The project will enhance the quality of life in College Station and offer social benefits by providing bike access bet>tveen residential areas, city parks and a community amphitheater. :. B. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. Provide evidence below of community involvement and public participation in project development. Include a description of any opportunities for public participation in the process of selecting candidate projects. The City ot Colleg~ Station adopt~d standards for b!~eways in .1 ~92 after results of a city-wide survey showed overwhelming support for b1keways (70% positive) and w1lhngness to pay for them (67% positive). City staff then developed a draft Bikeway Master Plan which was accomplished over a six month period. A bikeway "Focus Group" was developed to review and discuss the draft plan. The Focus Group included representatives from the City of College Station, the City of Bryan, Texas A&M University, the TXDOT, the Texas Bicycle Coalition, the A&M Cycling Team, the College Station Independent School District, the Parent Teacher Organization, and the local traffic engineering community. This group recommended revisions to the draft plan and along with the city planning staff developed the final Bikeway Master Plan. Concurrently, as a major step toward implementation, the City Planning, Parks, and Public Services staffs developed the Bike Loop project. The project was presented to and discussed with the above Focus Group. Both the Master Plan and the Bike Loop were presented to the City's Planning & Zoning Commission at a public meeting where they received unanimous support and recommendation tor approval. Once approved by the P&Z Commission, a public hearing was held before City Council where a petition with over 3,000 signatures was presented in favor of the Bikeway Master Plan and the College Station Bike Loop project. (A local restaurant in conjunction with the Texas Bicycle Coalition was responsible for the petition.) The Council Chambers overflowed as a result of people there to support the Bikeway Master Plan and the Bike Loop Project. The College Station City Council unanimously approved the Master Plan and the Bike Loop project along with the associated monetary commitment.

It provides connection and access between Texas A&M, numerous apartments and neighborhoods, a regional mall, eight city parks, an amphitheater, and College Station's Amtrak Station. Key features for the bike loop's continuity and safety include seven new bridges for creek crossings and bike path crossings under three of the City's largest thoroughfares. The project calls for development of new bike paths to run along the perimeter of College Station's Central Park. The path along the east side of this park will extend south along the SH 6 East Bypass until reaching Emerald Parkway, an entrance to one of College Station's largest subdivisions. Krenek Tap Road borders the north side of Central Park. This street is currently undergoing reconstruction and widening and will include bike lanes when completed. West of Central Park, a bike path will connect with Krenek Tap Road and then tum south along the perimeter of city property until reaching and going under Texas Avenue via an existing box culvert. Once on the west side of Texas Ave., the path will go two directions. Going south, a new bridge will be installed going over Bee Creek to a bike path where it will terminate at a major recreational area that includes a putt-putt golf, bumper boats, and batting cages. Going north, the path will " go along Texas Avenue in front of the City's Arboretum and then tum west ~nd continue along city property until reaching Bee Creek Park. Bee Creek serves as a barrier between the park and residential areas to the south and west. A short path extension and new bridge will provide access between these areas. The path in Bee Creek Park will continue northwest until reaching and going under Southwest Parkway. Once on the north side of this thoroughfare, the path continues north through Lemontree Park, a linear greenbelt, until reaching Anderson Street. Again, Bee Creek serves as a barrier for residential areas to the west. A small path extension with a new bridge across Bee Creek will provide access for this residential area to the Bike Loop and Lemontree Park. The bike loop will continue with the installation of bike lanes on Anderson Street from Lemontree Park to the A&M campus at George Bush Drive. The cur~ent two-way bike lane along the south side of Bush will be changed to one-way bike lanes on both sides of this street as part of this project The new, more safely designed bike lanes will extend along Bush from Marion Pugh Street where the Amtrak Station is located east to Texas Avenue. Once reaching Texas Avenue, the loop will be continued with a bikeway that will be installed as part of the . TXDOTs widening of this roadway. From Texas Avenue, bike Janes will be installed in the Eastgate area along both Lincoln and Walton Streets in order to facilitate the large number of students who bike to and from campus in this area. From Walton Street the bike loop will continue south through this residential area and Oaks Park until reaching S.H. 30 where a bike path will go under this arterial via a box culvert. The bike path will then continue east along S.H. 30 in front of two large condominium complexes until turning south along a utility easement that runs directly adjacent to Post Oak Mall and a large apartment complex. A new bridge will connect the apartment complex with the bike loop system and the Mall. The path along the utility easement will extend to Holleman Street and from there a bike path will go through the Wolf Pen Creek Park and by the Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater. This bike path will exit the park and connect with bike lanes to be installed on Central Park Lane and continue until reaching Southwest Parkway. The final leg to complete the bike loop will be a bike path to extend from Southwest Parkway to Central Park, the location of origin. In sum, the proposed Bike Loop project calls for 4.1 miles of new bike paths, 3. 8 miles of new bike lanes, seven new bike path bridges, and three grade separated bike crossings going under three of the City's widest and busiest thoroughfares. Importantly, the bike loop will serve both commuter and recreational bicyclists by virtue of new bike lanes adjacent and approaching the Texas A&M campus and new bike path through city park areas. The project is located primarily on City and State property and requires very little land acquisition. The bike loop system is in accordance with the City's Bikeway Master Plan and was developed considering AASHTO design requirements for bikeway facilities. All bikeways and related structures in this project can and will be designed to meet AASHTO standards. CJ •' ATTACHMENT2 PROJECT SCHEDULE AND BUDGET SCHEDULE: Year 1 -Engage design and contract management consultant; conduct pavement condition assessment on proposed bike facilities; design project; begin repair of pavement as necessary; begin installation of signs and bike lanes; begin land acquisition. Year 2 -Complete land acquisition; begin construction of culverts and bridges; repair street surfaces as necessary; complete striping and signing bike lanes; begin construction of bike paths. Year 3 -Complete bridges and box culverts; complete bike path construction. FUNDING: WORK ACTIVITY CATEGORY YEAR Bike Striping & Bridges Box ROW Design & Paths Marking Culverts Constr.

Land Acquisition. Land acquisition could delay the schedule in the second year if ROW has not been secured for the construction of the Bike Paths. It is not likely that will occur over the entire scope of the project. 2. Agency Approvals. Approvals by state and federal reviewing agencies could delay of the project. It is believed any delays would be minor delays. 3. Weather. A delay could be weather related. This area has experienced continuous rain for six to seven months at a time. Should unusual rains occur, the construction of bridges and box culverts would be delayed. *NOTE: A 15% contingency was added to the above estimates to bring the estimated total project cost to $1.348 million.

J \ f • . ~ .... ,st • • 1 v ""t (~ . • • The College Station Bike Loop requires little property acquisition since a iarge majority of the project is located on City or State property. Two individual properties will be acquired for off- street bike paths either in the form of a_bikeway easement or right-of-way. The City of College Station has adopted procedures for this type of acquisition. Efforts V>'.ill be made to voluntarily obtain the necessary property but preparation for condemnation will be made simultaneously in the event this becomes necessary. The estimated cost for property acquisition is $21,400. The College Station City Council has approved the expenditure of funds tor the purpose of acquiring land needed for this project. The monies for acquisition will come from contingency funds if the property is acquired in this year's budget or funds will be budgeted for acquisition in the annual operating budget for Mure years.

Texas Avenue Bryan, TX 77803 Re: College Station Bike Loop Project Status Dear Ms. Walton, As you are aware, the City of College Station was the recipient of a grant to improve the bicycle mobility within the City. Since it has been several years since the last project phase, we believe it best to provide this status report of what the project has accomplished, what lies ahead, and the modifications which have been made to the original project concept. Project Background The College Station Bike Loop Project is a roughly circular connection of bicycle facilities connecting Texas A&M University, regional and local retail centers as well as various municipal buildings and several city parks. Because of the large numbers of students attending Texas A&M University who use bicycles for local transportation, the City of College Station has developed a strong emphasis on the development and enhancement of bicycle facilities. It is the City's overall objective to provide an integrated transportation system whereby TxDOT, City and University facilities can be seamlessly matched together for the benefit of its citizens. An example of this cooperation may be seen in the north-south pairing of the Anderson- Lemontree-Bee Creek-Longmire Bike Corridor, with Texas Avenue. Because of the high levels of automobile traffic using the 6-lane urban arterial, and the number of turning movements generated by the commercial uses on both sides, bicycle traffic is currently prohibited on exas Avenue. Rather than attempting to combine an aboveoaverage level of bicycle traffic within this corridor, the City proposed a parallel route approximately 1/.i mile to the west. With full support of TxDOT, The northern half of this corridor was constructed by the first two phases of the Bike Loop Grant Project, and this third phase will provide the final connection to the existing facilities to the south. In this cooperative manner, the entire system is enhanced for the benefit of not only the citizens, but the operating agencies as well. The loop is made up of three distinctly different types of facilities which are used based on various existing and proposed conditions. Bike Routes are those segments of public roadway which have wide outside lanes signed for bicycle usage, however no separate travel lane is striped or marked. Bike Lanes are segments where bicycles have their own marked traffic lane, usually against the curb and thus requiring the removal of on-street parking. Bike Paths are off-street paved paths which either roughly parallel a roadway or follow their own alignment through parks or other areas. A particularly interesting component of the original Bike Loop was two proposed grade separations where the intent was to route the paths through modified storm drainage culvert sections and thus avoid a major surface street crossing. These were located at Southwest Parkway between Lemontree and Bee Creek Parks, and at Texas Avenue (BS 6) between the Anderson Arboretum and Cy Miller Pond Park. Phase 1 Implementation The City decided that the quickest way to get the project moving was to proceed with an initial phase which included all the on-street facilities (Bike Routes and Lanes), as well as providing sufficient signs and markings to retrofit certain park paths to bring them up to the requirements of the loop. Streets that received facilities included George Bush Drive (FM 2347), Anderson Street, Central Park Lane, Colgate Drive, and Holleman Drive. Existing paths were upgraded in Anderson Park and Wolf Pen Creek Park. Phase 2 Implementation The next step in completing the project was to tackle several of the off-street bike paths that meandered through and between several parks. New paths were installed in Lemontree Park, Bee Creek Park, Central Park and Wolf Pen Creek Park. Two segments were left out of this project, the first being the path along the north side of Bee Creek west of Texas Avenue, because a large channelization project had to be completed first in order to create the graded bench for the path. The second segment was the connection from the Texas A venue and Bee Creek intersection northwards to the bike lanes on Krenek Tap Road. This segment was omitted due to impending plans to widen Texas Avenue which would impact the project area. The first real change in the proposed plans of the loop occurred within phase 2, the elimination of the grade separation under Southwest Parkway. During the conceptual design process, several construction, maintenance and use issues were examined and found to be too conflicting to implement. The first issue was that several existing utilities were found to be in conflict with the expansion of the drainage culverts which were needed in order to meet clearance requirements. The relocation . ' of two large diameter sanitary sewer lines, a large natural gas line, a large water supply line, and a fiber optic communication line would place a large financial burden on the project. Longitudinal grade limitations on the pathways from TAS/ADA, would require long ramps to drop the path below roadway grade. These relatively long sections of path would then be subject to frequent inundation from storm runoff spilling over from the channel. Concerns over the designs of railings which would both protect the public from fall hazards, survive damage from flood borne debris, and avoid reducing the flood carrying capacity of the channel seemed mutually exclusive. The final straw arrived in the form of public opinion regarding the crossing. During public input meetings held by the City, it became clear that a surface crossing of Southwest Parkway was preferable to using a tunnel under the road. Explanations given included personal security in a secluded area, fear of errant wildlife that may be drawn to the culvert by its relative coolness in the summer, and concerns over maintenance issues like keeping the riding surface clear of mud and debris. When these varied issues were combined, it became obvious that the grade structure was neither desirable or feasible in this location. Instead, a reconstruction of the existing sidewalk crossing was designed, including flashing warning beacons and a refuge island within Southwest Parkway. Phase 3 Implementation With the completion of the Bee Creek Channelization Project drawing near, the City is prepared to move forward with the remainder of the Bike Loop. As a result, Bleyl & Associates has been retained by the City to provide professional engineering services. As we have restarted the project, we have run into a familiar problem. The original plan for the bike loop included a second grade crossing under Texas Avenue via modified drainage culverts. After going through the long process of evaluating (and finally abandoning) the Southwest Parkway grade crossing, the City finds itself in the same position, with most of the same impacts. While the exas Avenue grade separation would not have as significant utility relocations, the same issues exist regarding length of ramps, railing design, maintenance difficulties and probably the mos important, the.hesitancy of the public to use such an expensive facility. An issue more critical at Texas Avenue is the alternative surface crossing considerations. Texas Avenue has recently been widened to a 6 lane urban arterial, with a significant level of traffic in both directions. Placing a crosswalk with beacons at such a location would not be in the public's best interest even with a refuge island. Since the connection to Krenek Tap Road is to the north, and since the intersection of Krenek Tap and Texas is the closest intersection that is ultimately planned to be signalized, the most optimum location to cross would be via this intersection. The bike path itself can also be routed to this location relatively easily, without any significant changes in project cost. Therefore, instead of the path crossing under Texas Avenue via modified drainage culverts, and then turning north behind the College Station Police Department Building, cross over King Cole Drive at a mid-block crosswalk, and finally reaching the bike lanes at Krenek Tap Road, the replacement path will turn north at the west ROW line of Texas Avenue, continuing between the • ' . ROW and the City's Anderson Arboretum to the new Arboretum multi-use trail, and then continuing north along the City Cemetery until reaching the Krenek Tap Intersection. However, there is one drawback to this final loop completion, that being the timing of the signal at the intersection of Krenek Tap and Texas Avenue. Without a signal, crossing Texas at this location could be even more dangerous than crossing mid-block due to the additional turning movements. It also appears that the signal is not within the next years allocations. We therefore propose to construct this next phase of bike loop along the northern limits of Bee Creek to the west ROW of Texas Avenue, then turning north and ending at the proposed multi- use trail node near the shared corner of the Cemetery and Arboretum. Once the signal at Krenek Tap Road and Texas Avenue is completed a future City project will install the ath extension from the multi-use trail node, north to the intersection cross walks. We have attached an exhibit showing the original alignment, the proposed phase 3 relocation, and the future City connection to the Krenek Tap Intersection for your reference. Should you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding this information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your assistance with this project. Sincerely, Brett McCully, P .E. Sr. Engineer I Branch Manager Encl: Bike Loop Alignment Exhibit Cc: Danielle Charbonnet, EIT, COCS To: From: May 17, 2010 Consent Agenda College Station Bike Loop Phase II Design Contract Change Order Glenn Brown, City Manager Chuck Gilman, Director of Capital Projects Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion concerning the Bike Loop Phase II design contract change order with Bleyl & Associates in the amount of $21,615. Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of this change order. M~8~ Summary: On March 25, 2010, Council approved a proposed modification to the Bike Loop alignment that would minimize environmental impacts to the arboretum and create a significant connection to existing hike & bike facilities inside Bee Creek Park. This connection will provide over 4.5 miles of continuous hike & bike facilities for a direct route from Barron Road to George Bush Drive. This change order is for the final design of the Bike Loop Phase II alignment modification. The change order to the Bleyl & Associates contract includes additional surveying, engineering and analysis to extend the path from Bee Creek, through the arboretum, to Anderson Street. Other items added to the scope of work with this change order include the design of directional signage for users to reach key connection points, additional coordination with the College Station Police Department to incorporate safety elements into the path design as requested by Council, path lighting as requested by Council, additional coordination with TxDOT, and coordination with the Texas Avenue landscape project to ensure that trees recently planted along Texas Avenue did not interfere with the proposed multiuse trail. Additionally, this change order includes additional funds for construction administration. The current design contract does not have adequate funds for Bleyl & Associates to provide the services required of the engineer of record during construction. Budget & Financial Summary: The total project budget for phase I and phase II of the bike loop project is $1,529,826. The budget consists of the 2005 Bike Loop project (ST- 0530) in the amount of $327,202, the Miscellaneous Bike Trails project (ST-9803) in the amount of $169,000, and the Hike and Bike Trails project (ST-0521) in the amount of $1,033,624.

Change Order I ( " ~ March 25, 2010 Workshop Agenda Item No. 6 College Station Bike Loop Project Phase II Alignment To: Glenn Brown, City Manager From: Chuck Gilman, Director of Capital Improvement Department Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion concerning the Bike Loop Phase II project alignment. Recommendation ( s): alignment. Staff recorr.mends Council approval of the alternative Summary: Staff seeks Council direction about an alternate alignment for the Bike Loop Phase II project which is extends into Bee Creek Park. Phase I of the Bike Loop project, which was completed October 5, 2009, included pedestrian improvements to the intersection of Longmire and FM 2818, bike lanes along Longmire, and a pedestrian bridge over Bee Creek. The Phase II improvements will connect the bridge on the north side of the creek to the portion of the College Station Bike Loop in Bee Creek Park. Staff has considered the alignment submitted in the original grant application and the recently adopted Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greeways Master Plan. An adjustment the alignment was developed that will provide additional benefits, reduce the impact on trees along Bee Creek and the Arboretum and still accomplish the original goals of the College Station Bike Loop project. Once this phase of the bike loop is complete, the City will have 24,000 linear feet, or over 4.5 continuous miles, of bicycle facilities for a direct route from Barron Road to George Bush Drive, enhancing multi-modal transportation within the City. This phase of the project is funded in part by the federal grant administered by TxDOT through the Texas Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program to create a circular connection of bicycle facilities in College Station improving mobility and connecting the Texas A&M campus, retail centers, and several City parks and buildings. This project will spend the remaining grant balance and complete the College Station Bike Loop. Budget & Financial Summary: The project budget is $690,763 consisting of the 2005 Bike Loop project (ST-0530) in the amount of $327 ,202, the Miscellaneous Bike Trails project (ST-9803) in the amount of $169,000, and the Hike and Bike Trails project (ST- 0521).in the amount of $194,561.

Relationship to Strategic Goals: Goal IV, Improving Multimodal Transportation Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of this change order. Summary: The final phase of the Bike Loop Project, which extends through Bee Creek Park and the arboretum, is under construction. This was a multi-year project to construct bicycle facilities in the City of College Station. A significant portion of this project was funded by the Texas Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program, which is administered by TxDOT. This change order is necessitated by a change in the scope of work to provide a connection of the terminus of the Bike Loop in the arboretum with the Krenek Tap/Texas Avenue intersection. Staff attempted to include this connection into the construction plans for the portion of the project currently under construction; however, the extension was not supported by TxDOT since the intersection of the Texas Avenue and Krenek Tap was not signalized. Given that the City has awarded a construction contract for the installation of a traffic signal at this intersection, TxDOT will now allow the extension to be included with this project. This pathway extension to Krenek Tap will complete the Bike Loop Project and provide connectivity of the bicycle facilities on the east side of Texas Avenue with the bicycle facilities on the west side of Texas Avenue. Construction expenditures for this project are being reimbursed up to 800/o under the Texas Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program. Of the additional $57,734.01 being added to this contract, the City will be reimbursed up to $46,187.21 by TxDOT. A breakdown of the major components to the change order is as follows: • Retaining wall ($14,227 .20) • Sidewalk extension ($12,459.03) • Pedestrian handrail ($18,798.00) • Miscellaneous improvements ($12,249.78) Retaining Wall: 67 The retaining wall will allow the necessary fill material to be placed to match the grades of the existing sidewalk without placing fill in the cemetery. The retaining wall placement will allow the required separation distance from the 18" waterline along Texas Avenue. Sidewalk Extension: The existing TxDOT sidewalk will be extended an additional 5' to create 11' of bikeway surface. AASHTO recommends a paved width of at leastlO' for shared use paths with two- way traffic. Pedestrian Handrail: The pedestrian rail will be placed along the entire length of the retaining wall. A handrail or other barrier is recommended when the bike path is placed within 5 feet of a drop off or steep slope per AASHTO's guidelines. Miscellaneous Improvements: This includes miscellaneous items to finish out the path such as preparing the ROW, additional traffic control for work along Texas Avenue, relocation of signs, fence removal and replacement, and the placement of sod. TxDOT has indicated that due to budget reductions, this will be the city's last opportunity to utilize the funds available in t his particular enhancement program for the construction of hike/bike facilities. Budget & Financial Summary: Funds in the amount of $1,529,826 are budgeted in the Streets Capital Projects Fund for the completion of the bike loop. The budget includes $327,202 from the 2005 Bike Loop project (ST-0530), $169,000 from the Miscellaneous Bike Trails project (ST-9803), and $1,033,624 from the Hike and Bike Trails project (ST- 0521). $1,227,334.79 has been expended or committed to date for this project and Phase I, leaving a balance of $302,491.21. The expenditures for this change order will be applied to the 2005 Bike Loop project (ST-0530). Construction expenditures for ST-0530 will be reimbursed up to 80% under the Texas Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program. Attachments: 1. Change Order #2 2.
