CORPUS CHRISTI METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION AND
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI
This Agreement is between Corpus Christi Metropolitan Planning Organization ("MPO") and
City of Corpus Christi ("City") regarding participation in the local funding share required for the
planning project known as the Regional Parkway Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL)
Study ("Project").
BACKGROUND
In January 2013, the MPO completed the Regional Parkway Mobility Corridor Feasibility Study
which determined a Regional Parkway route was recommended and attainable if constructed in
segments of independent utility. This Project will evaluate the first two segments of the Regional
Parkway route, segments A and B, which extend from State Highway 286 to Park Road 22. The
PEL Study will serve as an interim step to a full National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
review,which is required for a project that may seek state or federal funding.
The MPO Transportation Policy Committee approved the use of Category 7 — Metropolitan
Mobility Program funds on April 4,2014. It was determined at that time that City will provide the
local match (including applicable overhead fees).
As part of the implementation of this Project,the MPO will enter into a Non-construction Advance
Funding Agreement (NCAFA) with Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), which
administers the Category 7 Program, as well as an agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc.
(Consultant)to execute the study. This service provider was selected in December 2014 through
PlanSource, a cooperative procurement program of the Community and Environmental Planning
Department of Houston Galveston Area Council (HGAC) that allows local governments' access
to prequalified planning firms.
The approved FY 2015 — 2018 Transportation Improvement Program provides an amount not to
exceed$900,000 in FY 2015 for a Regional Parkway Environmental Study, which will be applied
to support the $863,068 budget for this Project. Of this $863,068, 80%, or $690,454, will be
federal funds and 20%, or $172,614, will be a locally provided share. As the local partner, the
City is also responsible for TxDOT administrative fees (estimated to be 5%, or $43,153) and
PlanSource overhead fees (2%, or$17,261).
AGREEMENT
MPO. The MPO will enter into a NCAFA with TxDOT, which administers the Category 7
Program, as well as an agreement with Consultant to execute the study. TxDOT administrative
($43,153)and PlanSource overhead fees($17,261)are due to the respective agencies as lump sum
payments at the onset of the Project; thus, the MPO will invoice the City, the local share
participant, for the entirety of these fees within 30 days of executing the NCAFA with TxDOT.
