I'm trying to determine how the amount was reduced from $801,180 to $719,921, a difference of
$81,259 or 10.14%. If it is funded at 80%, wouldn't the amount be $640,000 (800,000 * .80)? I'm just
trying to update my comparison chart between state and city construction.
Thanks
Ken Griffin, P.E.

Hello Ken,
I don't recall the discussion of 2012 vs 2014 but the project is listed in the TIP for FY 2012 and
TxDOT tries to advance projects according to NCTCOG's schedule.
We have another issue related to the Congressional Demonstration funds that you need to know about.
The funds are under an obligation limitation per SAFETEA-LU Authorization bill and subsequent
appropriations acts that effectively limit the funds to 80% of the total funds authorized. The reduction
would be from $801,180 to $719,921.00 according to our records.

At the December meeting, it was stated that the earliest that the project could be bid was January 2014,
not 2012. The 2014 date is one of the items that the city is considering as we discuss how to proceed.
The City Manager's office and the City Council have been briefed on this project.
We are currently in the process of making contact with Congressman Kenny Marchant to discuss this
project. Once that meeting takes place we will be in touch with you to discuss the funding on the
project. However, it would be helpful if prior to our meeting with Congressman Marchant if we could
have a clarification on when the project is set to go to bid by TxDOT. Is it 2012 or 2014?
Thank You,

Gentlemen,
It is while since our last meeting here in our District office (December 16, 2010 to be exact). This
project is partially funded by Federal Fund. In that meeting Ken Griffin express his desire to put the
project on hold further notice, so he can discuss the mater with City Mgr and get back to us. after X-
mass holiday.
This Project is scheduled to be let on January 2012, and is seriously behind schedule. As Wes
mentioned in our Dec. 16th meeting, if the City wants to build the project totally with the City funding
verses with Fed. contribution, then we need to have an official letter from the City to express so.
I would appreciate your quick response.
If you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to e-mail or call
me at the number below.
