Executive Summary
This workshop will include an update on the Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) phase, preliminary cost estimates, scheduling (including possible construction phasing, design phase, consultant selection), and funding. Engineering is currently working with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) on clarifying issues with the funding and modeling of the roadway and would like to update City Council on these issues. Staff is currently working towards gaining approval of the Advanced Funding Agreement (AFA) with TxDOT and the Interlocal Agreement with Fort Bend County for cost participation. Both parties have committed funds to the project and the agreements should be ready within the next month. Staff will present the delivery of this project and discuss the alternatives and pros and cons to the different approaches. As part of these discussions staff would like to gain council’s input on design considerations as well as discuss policy issues that will need to be clarified as we move forward.
