Exhibit "A"
The projects to be financed that are the subject of this Statement are:
George Bush Drive (FM 2347) Separated Bike Lanes ($750,000)
The George Bush Drive (FM 2347) Separated Bike Lanes Project will extend from Texas Avenue to
Wellborn Road for approximately 1.3 miles. It will include a vertical barrier between the bike lane and
vehicle lanes as well as intersection modifications to increase safety along the corridor for biking to and
from Texas A&M University and surrounding key destinations and neighborhoods.
The Transportation Alternatives Set Program (TASA) is a federal grant program administered by the
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) that provides funding assistance to local communities to
help enhance bicycle and pedestrian safety and connectivity through infrastructure projects. In May 2021,
City Council passed a resolution of support and commitment to fund the project, if awarded, and enter
into an Advancing Funding Agreement (AFA) with TxDOT. The City was notified of the grant award in
November 2021.
The grant covers up to 80% of construction costs. The City must provide a minimum local match of 20%
for construction and 100% of design costs. Cost overruns will need to be paid for by the City. The total
project cost is estimated at $1,905,513. The City's match for the construction portion is $302,254. The
first payment of$11,827 is due to the State within thirty (30) days from execution of this AFA. The
second payment of $290,246 is due to the State within sixty (60) prior to the construction contract being
advertised for bids. TxDOT will manage the construction of the project.
The AF A requires signatures from the City along with a Resolution authorizing execution, which are both
attached. City staff will begin the design phase in the coming months and construction will begin late
2023 or early 2024.
The projected total cost to the City is not expected to exceed $750,000.
