AMENDMENTS

• Occasionally projects programmed for federal funds must be revised
• There are two types of revisions
• Administrative modification is considered a minor revision to the TIP.
• Amendment involves a major change to a project included in the TIP.
• Addition or deletion of a project
• A major change in project cost
• Project/project phase initiation dates
• A major change in design concept or scope (e.g. changing project termini or the number of through

lanes).

• Requires review by the Technical Advisory Committee (if regional STP/TAP), a public review and

comment period, requires proof of fiscal constraint, and requires a public hearing.

Sponsor: Henry County Project: 220th Street (H38)

AMENDMENTS

• Reasons for request:
• Newly discovered need to replace

several cross road pipes – did not factor into the initial cost estimate

• Project costs adjusted – originally

$2.85 million for 8 miles, now $3.66 million for 6.7 miles

• Requesting no additional STP funding
• New Limits Racine Avenue to Highway

218 instead of Grand Avenue

• Henry County and City of Mount

Pleasant concerned about having this road under construction concurrently with Maple Leaf Drive (impact on Industrial Park)

• Remainder of project as applied will

be completed in 2018

• Originally applied in FY2013, for

construction to take place in 2016

AMENDMENTS

• Considerations:
• Not requesting additional funding
• Not a major change in scope – would

have little to no impact on score

• Two county applications – both fully

funded

• Plan to complete project as applied
