AMENDED TIP PROJECTS  US 64 Phase V - (CN F100112) – At the request of NMDOT, removes $250,000 from STP Flex funds in FY2017 and change the work type from project engineering to construction engineering.  US 64 Phase VI - (CN F100112) – At the request of NMDOT, adds $1M in PE in FY2017. Accelerate construction schedule by moving NHPP funds ($14,684,694) from FY2020 to FY2019.  East Arterial Route Phase II (F100091) at the request of the City of Aztec, add $1M in local non-match funds in FY2017 for construction, add $680,250 in State Severance Tax funds in FY2017 for construction increasing the total project cost from $7.3M to $9M.  NM 173 Safety Improvements (F100170) – Delay project from FY2018 in the amount of $4,200,000 to FY 2023. The new project total is $4,200,000.00.  East Pinon Hills Blvd Extension Phase II (F100101) – remove $250,000 CMAQ Flex funds and replace it with $250,000 in local non-match in FY2017 for project engineering. CURRENT ISSUES  NMDOT has informed the MPO staff, the TC and PC chairman, and City of Farmington staff, that Phase I and II of the Pinon Hills Bridge extension project over the Animas River is not fiscally constrained. They suggested three options to make it constrained- 1. Move both phases into the planning years of the TIP (FY2020 and 2021) 2. Show local bonding capacity or funding mechanism for the project 3. Remove both phases entirely from the FFY2016-2021 TIP  Failure to act in one of these options will result in the FMPOs TIP to be non- fiscally constrained and jeopardizes all projects listed in the TIP. 1  ATTACHMENTS  The Public Notice advertising Amendment #5.  TIP Request Change Forms.  Self-Certification for Amendment #5.
