Dear Mr. Goins:
Re: Augusta Canal Multi-Use Trail TEA Project
STP-000E(96), PI # 271120. Richmond County
Enclosed is your copy of the executed Innovative Financin~ MOU for the Augusta Canal Multi-
Use Trail TEA Project. Please pay particular attention to t~ose items agreed to in the executed
MOU. These are considered the m.ost critical elements of the design phase. In order to apply
allowable Preliminary Engineering expenditures toward the project's local match, you must be
able to document those costs. Therefore it also is critical you maintain proper accounting
records. This letter serves as your Notice to Proceed with Preliminary Engineering.
As this project is not located on the State Highway System, Departmental review of the plans
is not required. If the design will include structures such as bridges or retaining walls. you are
required to secure a consulting firm pre-qualified with the Department. On May 29, 1996 we
forwarded a list of consultants pre-qualified for both Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities (3.13) and
Minor Bridge Design (4.01). If you would like a new listing, or if you have any questions, .
please contact Cora Cook at (404) 657-6687.
Sincerely,
dnv:~~
