AMENDMENTS • Occasionally projects programmed for federal funds must be revised • There are two types of revisions o Administrative modification is considered a minor revision to the TIP. o Amendment involves a major change to a project included in the TIP. • Addition or deletion of a project • A major change in project cost • Project/project phase initiation dates • A major change in design concept or scope (e.g. changing project termini or the number of through lanes). • Requires review by the Technical Advisory Committee (if regional STP/TAP), a public review and comment period, requires proof of fiscal constraint, and requires a public hearing.
AMENDMENTS • Reasons for request: • Newly discovered need to replace several cross road pipes – did not factor into the initial cost estimate • Project costs adjusted – originally $2.85 million for 8 miles, now $3.66 million for 6.7 miles • Requesting no additional STP funding Sponsor: Henry County • New Limits Racine Avenue to Highway Project: 220th Street (H38) 218 instead of Grand Avenue Originally applied in FY2013, for • Henry County and City of Mount • Pleasant concerned about having this construction to take place in 2016 road under construction concurrently with Maple Leaf Drive (impact on Industrial Park) • Remainder of project as applied will be completed in 2018
AMENDMENTS • Considerations: • Not requesting additional funding • Not a major change in scope – would have little to no impact on score • Two county applications – both fully funded • Plan to complete project as applied
