SUMMARY
On November 15, 2011, the City Council approved the agreement with Moffatt and Nichol for preliminary engineering, environmental documentation and final design for the Heritage Road Bridge Replacement Project; and on November 20, 2012, the City Council approved the First Amendment to the agreement due predominantly to an increased study area required for Preliminary Engineering (PE) and environmental studies. Since approval of the first amendment additional efforts were made to obtain eligibility in the Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and obtaining Environmental Clearance. The HBP will reimburse the City for 88.53% of the participating project costs. The Second Amendment will provide the required funds necessary to facilitate completion of PE and Final Design and obtain Environmental Clearance for the Heritage Road Bridge Replacement Project (see Attachment 1).
