MEMORANDUM
Item 1: SmartScale Application Development
Topic Synopsis
This is a discussion topic to begin preparation for the next round of SmartScale
applications which will be due in 2020.
Analysis
While the application window for the next round of SmartScale is some time off, Staff
would like to begin development of the project list for the next round of applications in
order to be as prepared and competitive as possible. This long lead time allows for
development of the best possible applications.
Under current rules, Frederick County is allowed 4 independent applications. Additional
applications can be submitted through regional entities of which Frederick County is a
member. These are the Winchester Frederick County MPO and the Northern
Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission. Each of these entities also is allowed 4
applications.
Recommended Action
No action necessary at this time.
Item 2: Transportation Forum Discussion and Guidance
Topic Synopsis
Staff is seeking guidance on whether the Committee wishes to hold the transportation
forum again this year, as well as, the preferred timeframe, venue, and areas of focus.
Analysis
NA
Recommended Action
NA
Item 3: Revenue Sharing
Topic Synopsis
The pre-application window is currently open for the VDOT Revenue Sharing Program.
While no applications have been forthcoming from potential private partners, Staff is
requesting Committee concurrence on an application that would more fully match the
private contribution on the Renaissance Drive project.
Analysis
While the current cost estimate (attached) and revenue stream indicate the Renaissance
Drive project is fully funded, Staff is reviewing standard project inflation rates and
analyzing the contingency amounts in an abundance of caution due to rapidly increasing
project costs that have been observed in the industry at large. As part of this process
Staff would seek to submit a revenue sharing application to obtain state matching funds
for all of the private funds currently committed to the project.
Total project funding at this time is as follows:
1. Revenue sharing funds from VDOT - $1,638,764.00
2. Local Funds:
a. $633,644.00 (Artillery Rezoning Proffer)
b. $452,791.46 (Blackburn Rezoning Proffer)
c. $1,080,000.00 (Carbaugh Rezoning Proffer)
3. Unmatched local funds: $527,671.46
4. Expenditures: $283,809.52
5. Remaining Funds: $3,521,390
Recommended Action
Recommend Board support of an additional revenue sharing application for funding of
Renaissance Drive.
