Title
Approval of TDOT contract covering design, right-of-way, and construction on Northwest Connector
Body
SUMMARY:
The agreements and contracts on the Northwest Connector that were made many years ago are not in the same detail and format currently used by TDOT and they are requesting that new contracts be approved that cover all the areas.
This contract covers the design on all 3 sections of the Northwest Connector. It shows that TDOT ("Department") is responsible for the entire process. In reality, the design was paid through STP funds for Section 3 and the City paid for design on Sections 1 and 2. With this contract, the City is entitled to 100% reimbursement for the design costs.
This contract also covers the right-of-way and construction for Sections 3. The City will use STP funds to cover 80% of the right-of-way costs and TDOT will cover construction, including utilities.
