Date: November 17, 1995 BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON CMAQ The Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) Program is part of the State Implementation Plan for the improvement of air quality in Texas. Implementation of the Program must be shown by December of 1996 or the D/FW metroplex could lose federal funding for future transportation improvements. The consulting engineering firm, Parsons Brinkerhoff, was hired by Dallas County to act as Project Manager/Engineer for the Dallas County CMAQ Program. Parsons is responsible for assembling the scope, schedule and budget for the CMAQ projects listed in the program. The County has contacted the cities in Dallas County who currently have projects in the 1996 Transportation Improvement Program-CMAQ to determine if the cities would prefer the projects to be added to the Dallas County CMAQ Program. By adding the projects to the County program, the cities will have the services of Parsons Brinkerhoff and also an environmental and civil engineering firm. They will design, analyze, and evaluate the projects to determine if they are feasible to construct with the funding stated in the TxDOT 1995 T.I.P. Once Parsons Brinkerhoff has determined the scope and cost for each project, the city will then decide if the projects are worth pursuing and escrow the local participation cost to Dallas County. If the city decides not to pursue a particular project, the project can be removed from the County program. The total cost for improving the 10 projects is $709,000, of which the city is only required to participate $106,160 (15% of the total cost). The County and TxDOT/FHWA will fund the remainder of the cost. A breakdown of the cost for each project is listed on a copy of ILA Attachment B. If Council approves the interlocal agreement with the County, the benefits with the projects implemented will result in: A reduction in congestion, pollution and delay at the intersections during the morning and evening rush hours. The city will have the expertise of the Parsons Brinkerhoff staff in designing the intersection improvements and conducting environmental assessments. Traffic will travel easier in and around the city.
