MPO reprogramming trims Hoover's projected Exit 9 construction share by $16 million
Summary
City staff and the MPO told the planning session that $16 million in MPO STP (federal) funds were reprogrammed to reduce Hoover’s construction share for Exit 9 from approximately $57.9M to $41.9M; ALDOT’s pass‑through cap remains $58.95M. MPO principal planner Mike Kaczorowski explained the TIP/MPO approval process that cleared the reprogramming.
City transportation staff and Mike Kaczorowski of the regional MPO briefed the council on a supplemental agreement for the Exit 9 project that will incorporate $16 million in MPO Surface Transportation Program funds, reducing Hoover’s projected construction share.
"The net effect of the supplemental application is that the city's projected share of the construction cost will be reduced from $57,900,000 to $41,900,000," the city presenter said. Mike Kaczorowski, principal transportation planner at the Regional Planning Commission (the MPO staff), reviewed the TIP/MPO approvals process and noted the MPO has limited discretionary control of about $32,000,000, of which $16,000,000 was identified for this project.
Staff emphasized the amounts remain estimates subject to final bids, and the supplemental agreement only changes funding sources, not the overall project scope. The supplemental agreement and associated resolution will appear on Monday’s council agenda for formal acceptance of supplemental agreement No.1.
