CVTA to use standard project agreements for wayfinding reimbursement; VDOT work would proceed by permit
Summary
Staff proposed locality-wide standard project agreements (SPAs) to reimburse wayfinding implementation costs using previously allocated funds; legal counsel said the SPA mirrors prior templates and VDOT confirmed installations on VDOT-maintained segments would be handled by permit.
Staff proposed a standard process for reimbursing localities for wayfinding implementation costs using the previously allocated $1.5 million. Chet described a locality‑wide SPA template that mirrors existing SPAs used for other CVTA regional projects and said project IDs and locality/VDOT assignments would be inserted into an appendix listing allocated amounts.
Eric Gregory, legal counsel, confirmed the proposed SPA language is virtually identical to prior SPAs used by the authority: “it’s virtually identical to prior SPAs,” he said. That approach aims to streamline approvals and avoid the need to amend multiple existing SPAs.
VDOT representative Mark said VDOT did not anticipate bundling wayfinding into the DB1 or DB2 contract scopes and that installations on VDOT-maintained trail segments would proceed under permits rather than as part of those design-build contracts: “we were not anticipating that that’s not a part of the contracts for DB1 or DB2,” Mark said, and added that VDOT staff were “certainly fine” with handling wayfinding under permit requirements.
Staff said they will produce a cleaner SPA draft and appendices showing dollar amounts by locality/VDOT for review before any action is requested from the technical committee.
