Proposed TIP Amendments

Proposed Council Resolution 21-6 (Amending the 2020-2024 TIP by increasing the Total Cost of the East Main Street Reconstruction project) 

(TIP # H17-14-MN1, PIN 4CR005) – City of Rochester 

Increase the Total Cost from $10,697,500 ($4,502,310 Federal) to $11,687,500 ($6,691,625 Federal); 
Decrease a FFY 20 Construction from $9,590,000 ($3,862,305 Federal) to $7,862,881 ($3,862,305 Federal); 
Add a FFY 21 Supplemental Construction phase of $2,067,119 ($1,653,695 Federal); 
Decrease a FFY 20 Construction Inspection from $1,100,000 ($634,380 Federal) to $1,080,475 ($634,380 Federal); 
Add a FFY 21 Supplemental Construction Inspection phase of $669,525 ($535,620 Federal). 

The source of programmed Federal funds is the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program – Large Urban. Construction was obligated in FFY 20, including an eligible non-participating share of $2,395,420. The offset of those funds is requested from Available Balances. The TIP application included a Local Share of 75%. The City requests the Supplemental phases to match the accepted bid.

Proposed Council Resolution 21-7 (Amending the 2020-2024 TIP by combining the Highway Preventive Maintenance – Group 1 and Group 2 projects) 
(TIP # H20-11-MN1, PIN 4CR013) – City of Rochester 
(TIP # H20-12-MN1, PIN 4CR014) – City of Rochester 

Combine the Highway Preventive Maintenance – Group 1 (TIP #H20-11-MN1, PIN 4CR013) with the Highway Preventive Maintenance – Group 2 (TIP #H20-12-MN1, PIN 4CR014); 
 

Change the Limits: 

Decrease the Combined Total Cost from $6,673,700 ($5,338,900 Federal) to $5,850,000 ($4,680,000 Federal); 
Decrease a Combined FFY 21 Scoping phase from $137,900 ($110,200 Federal) to $45,000 ($36,000 Federal);

Delete the Highway Preventive Maintenance – Group 2 project. 

The source of Federal funds is the Surface Transportation Block Grant – Large Urban program. The relinquished funds, $658,900, will be provided to Available Balances.  

The City requests to delete the three segments from the TIP to provide funds that can be reprogrammed on to other eligible projects. Any necessary work will be pursued with other resources.

Proposed Council Resolution 21-8 (Amending the 2020-2024 TIP by combining the I-390 from Rt 5/20 to Rt 251 and Rt 251 to I-90 projects) 
(TIP # H20-34-LV2, PIN 439088) – NYSDOT 
(TIP # H20-37-MN2, PIN 439094) – NYSDOT 

Combine the I-390 from Rt 5/US 20 (Exit 10 – Avon) to Rt 251 (Exit 11 – Rush) with the I-390 from Rt 251 (Exit 11 – Rush) to I-90 (Exit 12 – Thruway) projects; 
Change Project Name to I-390 from Rt 251 (Exit 11 – Rush) Rt 5/US 20 (Exit 10 – Avon) to I-90 (Exit 12 – Thruway); 
Increase the Combined Total Cost from $17,628,600 ($15,445,700 Federal) to $27,500,000 ($0 Federal); 
Decrease the Combined Federal Share of a FFY 20 Scoping phase from $147,100 to $0; 
Decrease the Combined Federal Share of a FFY 20 Preliminary Engineering phase from $882,800 to $0; 
Increase a Combined FFY 21 Detailed Design phase from $833,800 ($750,400 Federal) to $1,000,000 ($0 Federal);

Delete the I-390 from Rt 5/20 (Exit 10 – Avon) to Rt 251 (Exit 11 – Rush) project. 

The source of programmed Federal funds is the National Highway Performance Program. Consistent with the Governor’s announcement on October 23, 2020, NYSDOT Main Office will provide funding to deliver a resurfacing project on I-390 from Exit 10 to Exit 12, including the mainline and ramps.  

The offset of Federal funds is requested to be provided to the I-490 Bridges over Erie Canal and Kreig Rd project, as well as Available Balances. 

Proposed Council Resolution 21-9 (Amending the 2020-2024 TIP by increasing the Total Cost of the I-490 Bridges over Erie Canal and Kreag Rd project) 
(TIP # B17-64-MN1, PIN 449016) – NYSDOT  

Increase the Total Cost from $825,000 ($742,500 Federal) to $29,015,000 ($26,113,500 Federal); 
Add a FFY 22 Detailed Design phase of $1,100,000 ($990,000 Federal); 
Add a FFY 23 Construction phase of $24,590,000 ($22,131,000 Federal); 
Add a FFY 23 Construction Inspection phase of $2,500,000 ($2,250,000 Federal).  

The source of programmed Federal funds is the National Highway Performance Program, managed by NYSDOT Main Office. Specific funding and the schedule for the Detailed Design and Construction phases were not previously identified when the TIP was adopted.  

Consistent with the Governor’s announcement on August 2, 2019, NYSDOT Main Office will provide funding to deliver a replacement structure for I-490 over the Erie Canal.  

NYSDOT-Region 4’s TIP application noted that this project should be grouped with I-490 over Kreag Road Superstructure Replacement project “to reduce Work Zone Traffic Control (WZTC) cost and reduce the impact of construction closures to the traveling public. These bridges utilized shared WZTC in 2010 for bridge rehabilitation on both. These structures are within .15 miles of each other and, based on the cost of upgrading I-490 over Kreag Road to provide a suitable detour for work on I-490 over the Erie Canal, both structures should be delivered together under a single project.” 

Proposed Council Resolution 21-10 (Amending the 2020-2024 TIP by increasing the Total Cost of the Rt 19 and Rt 98 over Erie Canal Rehabilitation project) 
(TIP # B17-43-OR2, PIN 4940X5) – NYSDOT 

Increase the Total Cost from $20,200,000 ($6,796,000 Federal) to $23,930,000 ($9,068,000 Federal); 
Increase a FFY 21 Construction phase from $15,000,000 ($4,872,000 Federal) to $18,730,000 ($7,144,000 Federal). 

The source of programmed Federal funds is the National Highway Performance Program, managed by NYSDOT Main Office. The total funding includes funding through the NYS Canal Corporation, part of the NYS Power Authority.  

NYSDOT requests to increase the project construction total to account for work added by the Canal Corporation and to update the funding split based on the latest Engineer’s Estimate. The Canal Corporation has decided to pursue use of steel counterweights rather than the originally scoped concrete. This is the primary driver of the $3,700,000 increase to the Construction phase.  

With benefit of this updated Engineer’s Estimate, the shares of responsibility between the NYSDOT and the Canal Corporation have been clarified. The request is to adjust the funding split for the Construction phase to a $9,800,000 Canal Corporation share (100% NYS funds) and a NYSDOT share $8,900,000 ($7,144,000 Federal).   

Proposed Council Resolution 21-11 (Amending the 2020-2024 TIP by adding the Low Bridge Clearance Project/Wrong Way Driving project) 
(TIP # H20-45-R43, PIN 4LBC20) – NYSDOT 

Add a New Project totaling $823,504 ($704,559 Federal); 
Add a FFY 21 Construction phase of $748,640 ($640,508 Federal); 
Add a FFY 21 Construction Inspection phase of $74,864 ($64,051 Federal). 

The source of Federal funds is the National Highway Performance Program and Surface Transportation Block Group – Flex program for the Low Bridge Clearance and the Highway Safety Improvement Program for the Wrong Way Driving elements, respectively. All funds are managed by NYSDOT Main Office. 

The project is part of a Statewide initiative to ensure safety on State highways with low clearance bridges (vertical clearances less than 14 feet) and will include a systemic implementation of new minimum standards for signing and pavement markings to discourage wrong-way entry through increased conspicuity at exit ramp termini statewide. 

Proposed Council Resolution 21-12 (Amending the 2020-2024 TIP by reinstating the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan – Phase II project) 
(TIP # N17-06-R43, PIN 40PS02) – NYSDOT  

Reinstate the Region 4 Pedestrian Safety Action Plan Implementation Phase II (TIP # N17-06-R43, PIN 40PS02) project;  
Change the PIN to 40PS05;  
Add a FFY 21 Construction phase of $7,871,000 ($7,871,000 Federal);  
Add a FFY 21 Construction Inspection phase of $708,000 ($708,000 Federal).  

The source of Federal funds is the Highway Safety Improvement Program, managed by NYSDOT Main Office. There is a 100% Federal Share per 23 USC 120(c)(1) for eligible project elements. 

The project was originally let in late-2019. Due to factors beyond NYSDOT’s control, little progress has been made on the construction delivery since that time. There is a possibility that this project will be relet under a new PIN.  

While the NYSDOT pursues a re-evaluation, the request is to add a new project to the TIP to deliver the work originally included in PIN 40PS02. If it is determined that this project will not be necessary, NYSDOT will communicate so that the request could be pulled from the meeting agenda for GTC Board.  

The cost of this project is anticipated to increase from the amount programmed in the FFYs 2017-2020 TIP. The updated values are based on the current engineer’s estimate and account for the second-low bidder, as well as updates based on a compressed schedule, relet status, and other factors.
