Title
A Resolution to Accept the FY26 Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program II (ATRIP-II) Grant Award for Miflin Road / SR 161 Intersection Improvements
Summary
The Engineering Department previously requested permission from Council on 25-1353-RES to apply for the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program II (ATRIP-II) for intersection improvements on Foley Beach Express (SR-161) at Mifline Rd (CR 20), including turn lanes and signal upgrades; Project #ATRP-02-2026-213; CPMS Re# 100081349, 100081639, and 100081621. ALDOT has awarded $2,000,000.00 to the City of Foley for the ATRIP-II grant for the Miflin Road / SR 161 Intersection Improvements. The total project is estimated to cost $2,950,000.00. Staff requests accepting the grant funds and amending the budget accordingly: $2,950,000.00 as the total project estimate, including contingencies, under account #400-3020-5182 (ATRIP - FBE & Miflin Expense) and $2,000,000.00 in grant revenue under account #400-3020-4106 (ATRIP - FBE & Miflin Revenue). This project is not currently in the 10 year capital plan, nor is it budgeted in either expense or revenue accounts. For this project to move forward, staff is proposing to reduce the upcoming Fern Ave expenses since Murphy's Oil will be developing the southwest corner by $450,000, and to remove the Cedar/Oak project from the capital plan for this year for $500,000. This would give us the needed $950,000 for matching funds. Since this is an ATRIP project, the State will lead construction. Therefore, we will not cover the $2m in construction expenses upfront, but will record them via journal entry at the end of each fiscal year while the project is ongoing.
