ATRIP Issues Revised deadline for RAMP and Round III Any project not ready for submittal for Construction Bureau review by October 2017 will no longer be advanced by ALDOT All benchmarks required to make the CB submittal must be achieved Allow efforts to be focused by all involved on projects that can be addressed during reasonable life of ATRIP Finalized letting date discussed by county and ALDOT to maximize cost, timing, detours, use of forces, etc.
ATRIP Issues Financial awareness Currently running around 108% of awards 8/13: 90%, 8/14: 100%, 8/15: 105% Most counties finishing recently have been due to exhausting allocated funds more than completing all awarded projects Communicate with IP Bureau and Area CT offices to develop plans for addressing remaining projects
ATRIP Issues Once ATRIP allocation is obligated, funding option is county FA, MPO and county funds Will work with sponsors to extent possible to consider options if funding becomes an issue There are no extra ATRIP funds available to cover additional costs above what was previously awarded to sponsors Each county is responsible for ensuring they know their available balance of ATRIP and RAMP funds
