Subject: City Creek/Alabama Street Bikeway Project — TDA Article 3 Scope Change and Forfeiture of
ATP Funds, Project No. ATP-5449(037)
Dear Ginger:
The City of Highland (City) requests a scope change of the subject project for TDA Article 3 (1) CON funds to
Pre-CON and (2) from project construction to project design/environmental. The TDA Article 3 funds in the
amount of$371,546 will be used in the Pre-Con phase. This change is necessary because this project will not
be able to proceed with construction.
In addition, the Cycle 3 ATP funds for this project are having to be forfeited for the following reasons:
1. Required 2-3 years Army Corps of Engineers approval process of a Safety Assurance Review (with no
guarantee of this timeline) due to a 4-foot cut of the west City Creek levee at SR-210 to provide
pedestrian clearance.
2. West City Creek levee repairs required by SBCFCD will not be done prior to construction of the City's
project. SBCFCD indicated they are still working with the Army Corps of Engineers and repairs are not
expected to be completed until 5 to 10 years from now at the earliest. SBCFCD will not commit to a
schedule on the repairs, and this work would have an impact on the new trail facility constructed by the
City. SBCFCD informed City staff they would not be responsible to replace the trail.
3. The original project scope anticipated using an existing SBCFCD bridge structure on the west levee of
City Creek between SR-210 and 5t" Street. SBCFCD staff informed us that they would not give the City
permission to the existing bridge due to the condition of the deck not being suitable for use by
pedestrians and bicycles.
4. Additional funds would need to be secured to construct a new pedestrian bridge crossing.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require any additional information. Thank
you in advance for your consideration of our request.
Sincerely
Carlos Zamano
