Metropolitan Transportation Planning Services Contract
Department:Planning and Development
Caption:Approve the FY 2016 Metropolitan Transportation Planning
Services contract between Augusta, Georgia and the Georgia
Department of Transportation.
Background:The Planning and Development Department provides
transportation planning services for the Augusta Regional
Transportation Study (ARTS). The scope of these services is
outlined in the ARTS Unified Planning Work Program and
funding for them is subject to renewal each year through a
contract with the Georgia Department of Transportation.
Analysis:Approving the contract will ensure continued funding for the
Augusta Regional Transportation Study activities included in the
ARTS Unified Planning Work Program and provided by staff of
the Planning & Development Department.
Financial Impact:The contract stipulates that the Georgia Department of
Transportation will reimburse the city for eighty percent (80%) of
the eligible costs incurred for providing regional transportation
planning services. The funding level is the same as FY 2015, so
that the twenty percent (20%) local match will be the same as in
the 2015 budget for the Planning and Development Department.
Alternatives:None recommended
Recommendation:Approve the FY 2016 Metropolitan Transportation Planning
Services contract between Augusta, Georgia and the Georgia
Department of Transportation
