DATE: June 17, 2015

SUBJECT: TIP General Program Accounts (GPAs) Update

Staff will be reviewing the FY 2016 projects in our current Transportation Improvement

Program (TIP), to see which projects can be moved into General Program Accounts

(GPAs). GPAs are a tool to streamline the TIP management process and to help

reduce the number of TIP amendments. Projects within GPA’s are allowed more

flexibility to make minor adjustments without going through a lengthy amendment

process. Staff will be contacting the local road agencies which have eligible 2016

projects to discuss the GPA process.

Projects that cannot be moved into a GPA include: new roads, capacity expansion, 4-

to-3 lane conversions, projects funded with state or congressional earmarks, and

experimental projects. Each project must be a categorical exclusion and air-quality

neutral; right-of-way (ROW) project phases cannot have ROW activities that are more

complex than grading and mutual benefit permits, and local projects utilizing advance

construction must be individually listed.

Also, many transit projects utilize FHWA funds that are flexed to FTA programs. These

projects will be listed with their respective FHWA GPA category. The flex projects will

also list which transit program these projects will be assigned to. For example, a

CMAQ funded project that will be flexed, will be included in the Highways Traffic

Operations or Safety GPA, but it will also be listed as a flex project and indicate the

transit program it was flexed to.

Staff expects to have a TIP amendment in September which will move the appropriate

projects into GPAs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at

[email protected] or (810) 766-6545.

Dear Ms. Donohue and Mr. LaMacchia:

Fiscal Year 2017 Federal Local Safety Program

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is pleased to announce the solicitation of new

applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2017 Local Safety Program. Federal funds for the Local Safety

Program are to be used for highway safety improvements on the local roadway system. All locally

controlled roadways, regardless of National Functional Classification, are eligible for the Local Safety

Program. The FY 2017 federal budget for this program is estimated at $15,000,000. This amount may be

subject to revisions based on approval of the future federal highway bill. We are asking the County Road

Association of Michigan and the Michigan Municipal League to distribute this notice to their member

agencies.

Local Agencies may submit more than one project application for consideration. Federal safety funds

shall not exceed $600,000 per project or a maximum amount of $2,000,000 per Local Agency for the

fiscal year. FY 2017 projects are to be developed and obligated between October 1, 2016 and August 25,

2017.

FY 2017, Selected Safety Projects General Information:

Funded at 80 percent federal funds/20 percent local funds, unless the project scope fixes the roadway

deficiency related to a fatality (K) and/or an incapacitating (A) injury within the limits of proposed work

or is an approved systemic project (that supports the State Strategic Highway Safety Plan), then funded at

90 percent federal funds/10 percent local funds.

Portion eligible for federal aid:

− Project’s Construction Phase (‘A’ Phase.)

− Preliminary Engineering, ONLY if criteria of Preliminary Engineering Section outlined

below is met.

Portion not eligible for federal aid:

− Right-of-way costs.

‘Lump Summed’ at the lesser of the original estimate plus $20,000, or the original estimate plus

20 percent. Projects may, at MDOT’s discretion, be funded by a “Pro-Rata” method.

Let by MDOT or performed by Local Force Account, as approved by MDOT’s

Local Agency Program (LAP) office: information found at www.michigan.gov/mdot ~ Doing

Business ~ Local Agency Program ~ Force Account and Local Agency Reimbursement System

(LARS) Information.

All social, economic and environmental impacts within the project limits impacts must be

mitigated before federal funds can be appropriated and obligated. Project applications which are

expected to have significant public controversy and/or require an environmental assessment will

not be considered until these outstanding issues have been resolved.

Local Agencies within Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) areas must coordinate with

their MPO to ensure inclusion of their project in the area’s Transportation Improvement Program

for the fiscal year for which the project was selected. LAP will supply a list of selected projects

to the MDOT Planning group, but it is the local agency’s responsibility to ensure these projects

are included in the State Transportation Improvement Program.

FY 2017, Selected Safety Project Design Requirements:

Meet current standards and warrants, current Americans with Disabilities Act and Buy America

requirements.

Designed in accordance with 3R, 4R, American Association of State Highway and Transportation

Officials (AASHTO) Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, or the AASHTO Guidelines for

Geometric Design of Very Low-Volume Local Roads Standards. Use of the Capital Preventative

Maintenance guidelines and fixes will not be permitted.

Traffic signal upgrade projects shall include the installation of signal back plates with

reflectorized strips.

High friction surface projects shall use or follow the intent/material requirements of the most

current MDOT Special Provision.

Corridor (or local agency-wide) permanent signing or pavement marking projects must be of a

higher standard than the minimums required by the Michigan Manual of Uniform Traffic Control

Devices and/or standards. These type projects shall include additional signing improvements

beyond upgrading sign reflectivity requirements; i.e., adding reflective sheeting to sign posts,

larger signs, etc., and permanent pavement markings shall include improvements such as being

recessed or high quality ‘durable’ markings.

FY 2017, Safety Program Financial Goals*:

Project Type Total Program

Road Safety Audits (RSA) $50,000

Non-motorized facility/Pedestrian improvements $100,000

High Friction Surface $100,000

Centerline and Shoulder Rumble Strip $200,000

Guardrail Upgrades and Clear Zone Improvements $1,500,000

Projects with scopes that directly correct areas with a concentration of Types

"A" and "K" crashes $9,500,000

Safety Funds per MDOT Region $350,000

*The Safety Program Financial Goals allow for the submittal of systemic projects. Systemic safety

projects involve the use of countermeasures that are widely implemented (corridor or area wide) based on

similar roadway or intersection features that correlate with particular K/A crash types.

Preliminary Engineering

Preliminary engineering for selected safety projects may be programmed for one or more of the

following:

Design (up to 10 percent of the estimated eligible construction costs)

− Transparency (5 percent) location - funded at 80 percent federal funds/20 percent local funds,

unless project scope fixes roadway deficiency related to a fatality (K) within the limits of

proposed work, then funded at 90 percent federal funds/10 percent local funds).

Identified in the 2009 through 2013 Transparency (5%) Reports.

Proposed scope of work must address the noted location deficiencies.

Projects that are on the Transparency (5%) Report must be clearly identified.

MDOT Local Safety Initiative (LSI) identified location (funded at 50 percent federal funds/50

percent local funds)

− Proposed scope of work must address the noted location deficiencies reviewed and identified

by the LSI Program.

− Copy of MDOT LSI written suggestion list must be included with application.

Traffic Signal Optimization

− Funded at 80 percent federal funds/20 percent local funds.

− Must complete and implement traffic signal optimization study to analyze and adjust timing

of signal controllers.

− Signals should be studied to allow for a minimum of one second all red phase, and the yellow

change interval phase evaluated to meet current guidelines.

− Maximum of $5,000 total cost will be allowed per signal location for the analysis and

adjustment of signal controllers.

− Signal component upgrades are not permitted under this category.

− It is anticipated that this work would be done via force account work by the

local agency. Physical adjustments of timing will be programmed under an ‘A’ Phase.


Page 4

May 7, 2015

Road Safety Audits (RSAs)

− A RSA proposal may be submitted without an associated construction phase. It is anticipated

that the construction phase would be submitted in the next call for projects

− A maximum of $10,000 in total project costs will be set up for an RSA, with the federal

portion being at the same rate as the construction phase of the project, or 80% federal

funds/20% local funds, if proposed as an independent RSA (not associated with a

construction phase).

− Must be conducted at a time no later than 30 percent design completion.

− RSA Final Report/Findings must be submitted to the Safety Program Administrator for

reimbursement.

− It is anticipated that this work will be completed by a consultant or another agency other than

the road owner.

Our goal is to maintain a fiscally constrained program while maximizing the use of available federal

funds. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Lynnette Firman at (517) 335-2224 or at

[email protected].

MEMORANDUM


FROM: Damon Fortney, Planner I


DATE: June 17, 2015

SUBJECT: City of Fenton National Functional Classification (NFC) Proposal

The City of Fenton is proposing to reconnect Caroline Street through the downtown

area between Leroy Street and Walnut Street. Proposed new roads must have a

National Functional Classification (NFC) that reflects an expected function in order to

be eligible for federal transportation funding. A request must be made to the Michigan

Department of Transportation (MDOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to

designate a proposed road.

Existing segments of Caroline Street to the west of Leroy Street, and east of Walnut

Street are currently classified as Major Collectors. Therefore, designating the future

connection between Leroy and Walnut Streets as a Major Collector would allow for a

continuous federal-aid route. The length of the proposed route is 0.05 miles and will not

significantly impact the total federal-aid road mileage within Genesee County.

At this time, the City of Fenton is requesting that the Metropolitan Alliance provide

support for the proposed NFC changes through the attached resolution. Following

approval, the proposed changes will be sent on for approval by MDOT and FHWA.
