A Resolution Accepting the Highway Safety Improvement Program Grant for Pedestrian Improvements
Summary
City of Foley Engineering Department requested permission from Council to apply for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Grant for pedestrian improvements to Cedar Street, Oak Street, Pine Street, Chicago Street and the Rose Trail Crosswalk under RES 24-1247. ALDOT has awarded the City of Foley $802,660.50 with $89,184.50 required in matching funds. The Engineering Department requests to accept the grant and amend the budget accordingly: $891,845.00 as project estimate under account #400-3020-5178 (HSIP Hwy 98 Pedestrian Improvements) and $802,660.50 under account 400-3020-4209 (HSIP Hwy 98 Pedestrian Impv Grant). A portion of the expenses (130,042.16) have already been budgeted under a separate account and that budget will be transferred into 400-3020-5178, this will reduce the amount requested for the HSIP expenses. The Engineering Department also requests permission for the State to bid out this project once the design is completed.
