8.A. (EL) AUTHORIZATION TO ADD ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO THE USACE DEEPENING & WIDENING FEASIBILITY STUDY
Description:
MSPA staff seeks Board authorization to add an additional $300,000.00 to its Feasibility Cost Share agreement with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The feasibility study is being completed on a 50/50 cost share with the Federal Government. By providing the funding on an accelerated timeline, the USACE is able to continue working on the study and avoid any pauses that may be caused by delays in the appropriation of Federal funding. The entire study is anticipated to take three years and cost $4,700,000.00. Over the three-year period, the MSPA's match will be $2,350,000.00 with some of those funds provided as in-kind services. To date, the MSPA has contributed $1,150,000.00.
