RE: Proposed Resolution No. 19477
SUBJECT
A resolution for the City Council to adopt a directive action for completion of Streets projects that were
funded by the Texas General Land Office (GLO)Round 2.2.
BACKGROUND
Texas General Land Office (GLO) Round 2.2 has allocated the total of$8,883,616.00 for projects which
were classified as Streets projects, Demolition projects, Flood and Drainage projects, and Water
facilities. Out of all of the projects listed in Round 2.2, currently there are four (4) Street projects listed
below which remain to be completed:
• Bluebonnet Avenue(Phase II) (Gulfway Drive to 19th Street)this project requires additional
city funds in the amount of$1,254,500.00 to complete
• West 7th Street (MLK to Abe Lincoln) this project requires additional city funds in the
amount of$700,000.00 to complete
• West 8th Street(Foley Avenue to Joe Louis)this project requires additional city funds in the
amount of$500,000.00 to complete
• Woodworth Boulevard (7th Street to Thomas Blvd.) this project requires additional city
funds in the amount of$1,100,000.00 to complete
Based on a revised construction calculation and estimated budget, there is not enough funds remaining in
the GLO budget to construct all of the remaining projects.
RECOMMENDATION
CONTINGENT UPON GLO APPROVAL
Staff recommends that we prioritize the GLO funding in the following order:
West 7th Street (MLK to Abe Lincoln, $700,000.00) and West 8th Street (Foley Ave to Joe Louis,
$500,000.00) for a total amount of $1,200,000.00 be re-allocated towards the completion of the North
section of Bluebonnet.
"Remember we are here to serve the Citizens of Port Arthur"
Further, for the new budget year, additional city funds in the amount of$439,437.72 will be budgeted in
the Fiscal Year Ending (FYE) 2017 Budget year complete the Woodworth Blvd (7th Street to Thomas
Blvd) drainage projects. Finally, West 7th Street (MLK to Abe Lincoln) and West 8th Street (Foley Ave to
Joe Louis)will then become top priority for the city Streets program.
As mentioned earlier, we need to be sure the GLO will concur with our recommendation and that process
will probably take 3 —4 months to obtain approval.
BUDGET/FISCAL EFFECT
Funds partially available in the GLO Round 2.2, Project No. CPA-825 Bluebonnet Ave (Phase II)
(Gulfway Drive to 19th Street), Project No. CPA-830 West 7th Street (MLK to Abe Lincoln), Project No.
