Subject: 2014 Local Maintenance Improvement Grant Request
Attached below for Council's review and comments is a list of proposed local
transportation improvements to be submitted to the Georgia Department of
Transportation for the 2014 Local Maintenance Improvement Grant (LMIG) for
Columbus. Based on Council's comments, staff plans to submit the request to
GADOT on or about December 11, 2013. The proposed projects will supplement
the City's regular resurfacing program and fully fund one of the four
bridge/culverts in need of replacement. The City anticipates receipt of
approximately $1.2 million for transportation improvements through this grant.
The grant requires a 10% match which will bring our project total to
approximately $1.32 million for all projects submitted. Under the new
guidelines for LMIG, the City will receive a check for the awarded amount in
advance of the work being completed. This approach will prevent the City from
having to advance the funds for the projects and wait on reimbursement from
DOT. The proposed work is scheduled for Spring/Summer 2014.
If you have any questions or comments concerning the list please let me know.
