PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The establishment of the project and budgeting of funds has been approved by City Council on an annual basis once the purchase order is issued by the State of Colorado to the Pueblo Area Council of Governments (PACOG). BACKGROUND: The PACOG received an award of funds from CDOT on July 25, 2017 that provides $7,400 in RPG funds to PACOG for rural transportation planning activities through June 30, 2018. The City and PACOG annually enter a delegation agreement that authorizes the City to complete the transportation planning tasks on behalf of PACOG and be reimbursed for eligible expenses. This Ordinance establishes the 2018 Pueblo Rural Transportation Planning Project and budgets and appropriates funds in the amount of $7,400 allocated for the City to complete rural transportation planning services in compliance with the state requirements for the use of the RPG grant funds. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Funds in the amount of $7,400 shall be budgeted and appropriated for the Pueblo Rural Transportation Planning Project. It is estimated that approximately two (2%) of the Project cost or approximately $150 in staff time from the Finance department will be expended on the project. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The CDOT Rural Planning Grant funding is included as a component of the Delegation Agreement between the City of Pueblo and PACOG approved by Ordinance No. 9083 on December 27, 2016. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not Applicable. ALTERNATIVES: If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, the CDOT funding will not be expended by the City’s Urban Transportation Planning Division and funds for transportation planning outside of the urbanized area, and travel expenses for outside of Pueblo will not be reimbursed through these funds. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance. Attachments: Purchase Order # - Colorado Department of Transportation 411014078 Scope of Work (SOW)
