Cities are limited to one bridge per city, per fiscal year. I am pleased to inform you that the below bridge in your city is ranked high enough on the City Bridge Candidate List to receive funding for replacement or rehabilitation as noted. FHWA # Citv Street Feature Crossed Qualified for 503755 FM E-66 Oscar Creek Replacement Bridges funded with either Federal-aid City Bridge funds or State City Bridge funds are eligible for 100% reimbursement of all eligible and properly documented construction costs. Engineering design and development, right-of-way, and inspection costs are not eligible for reimbursement. Federal-aid funds are eligible for up to $1,500,000 in reimbursement. State City Bridge funds are eligible for up to $500,000 in reimbursement. The lowa DOT will make final determination of whether a project will receive Federal-aid City Bridge funds or State City Bridge funds after reviewing construction estimates. Typically, replacement or rehabilitation projects with estimated construction costs of less than $500,000 are assigned State City Bridge funds to maximize program impact. Please refer to I.M. 1.100 (Highwav Brid_qe Pro_qrams for Cities and Counties) for additional information. Acceptinq this Offer: If the city accepts this offer of funding, the city must: • Send a letter or email confirming the city's acceptance by December 2, 2022 to my attention, along with a completed version of the "Attachment to Offer of City Bridge Funding" for each qualifying bridge. o If the timing of your city council meetings will not allow a response by this date, please contact me in advance to let me know when I can expect confirmation. Sign the project funding agreement with the lowa DOT within 90 days of receipt. The funding agreement will be sent to the provided City contact after receipt of the acceptance letter. Develop the project to a successful construction contract letting within three vears of signing the project agreement, but no earlier than October 1, 2023. Declininq this Offer: If the city decides not to accept funding at this time, please: • Send a letter or email declining the funding offer by December 2, 2022 to my attention, along with the completed version of the "Attachment to Offer of City Bridge Funding" for each qualifying bridge. If a City chooses to decline City Bridge Funding at this time, there is no penalty. The bridge will remain on the Candidate List for future consideration and may be offered future funding. However, each year new bridges are added to the Candidate List and bridges already on the list continue to deteriorate. These factors impact priority point calculations, and combined with variations in funding levels, make it impossible to predict with certainty when this bridge may rank high enough to be offered funding again. Thank you in advance for a timely response. If you have any questions about this program or the offered funding, please let me know. Respectfully, � � � � a� �. �� Jenifer J. Bates, P.E.
