4) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Amendment VIII
- TxDOT Bryan District received a revised cost estimate for the FM 2818 project between Wellborn
Road and University Drive. To cover the additional funds needed to complete the project, TxDOT
is requesting that the TIP be amended to add $18,000,000 of Category Four funds ($14,400,000
federal, $3,600,000 state) and $1.00 in Category One funding to the project (see page 7). The
Technical Advisory Committee has recommended approval of the request and staff has conducted a
15-day public comment period per the requirements of our Public Participation Procedures. Action
Required. (See attachment.)
5) Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) Administrative Change
- Since the TxDOT Bryan District received a revised cost estimate for the FM 2818 project from
Wellborn Road (FM 2154) to University Drive (FM 60) and the TIP is being amended to reflect that
revision, the Metropolitan Transportation Plan must also be changed. This change can be done by
staff administratively for the following reasons: 1) Since the revision didn’t change project scope
or limits; 2) The change didn’t meet the two-part requirement that federal share increases by 50%
and is greater than $15,000,000; 3) The CSJ number is not changed; 4) Priority ranking and public
comment on inclusion of the project was completed during the public comment period for plan
adoption; and 5) This project funding change is being covered by TxDOT Category Four (Urban
Statewide Connectivity) funds that the MPO does not control and there is no change in Category
Two funding which was the sole funding source used to demonstrate financial constraint in the MTP
for the 2020-2024 time band. Information Only Item. (See attachment.)
