PURPOSE:
The NC Department of Transportation has approved additional funding for project U-5532: Aycock Street and Walker Avenue Intersection & Corridor Improvement Project and extended the completion date of the project. A resolution needs to be approved to authorize the amended agreement.

In June 2018 the Transportation Advisory Committee, in cooperation with NCDOT, added federal funding to the project to get it to 80% of the estimated construction costs. This amended agreement adds those additional funds and extends the anticipated completion date of the project.
This amended agreement increases the federal funding amount by $573,977 and increases the City of Greensboro matching funding commitment by an additional $143,499 (20% match).
