B/C Scoring – Major Investments

• Three of Five P

Three of Five Projects Candidates for Funding

• jects Candidates for Funding
• Inner Katy Busway – B/C score 1.81 = 100 pts
• Hempstead Highway – B/C score 1.76 = 75 pts
• Shepard/Durham Drive – B/C score 1.09 = 50 pts

Call for Projects – Draft Recommendation

• Projects scoring 150 points or more appear to be

fundable IF:

• Projects meet “Readiness Requirements”. Delays

beyond sponsor identified “Readiness Year” could increase project cost and reduce funding available.

• Only 1 of the three “Major Projects” is found “Ready”

(For purposes of this analysis Inner Katy Busway is assumed to be funded)

Call for Projects – Draft Recommendation

• Projects scoring 150 points or more appear to be

fundable IF:

• METRO Bus Accessibility Project funded at $30M
• Pelican Island Bridge Replacement is funded at $18M
• Project sponsors with projects scoring more than

100 points should be invited to add their project to RTP
