Dear Mr. Schindel:
RE: Black Hawk County Metropolitan Planning Organization
Iowa's Transportation Alternatives Program Funding Award
This correspondence is to inform the City that the Black Hawk County Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) has awarded Iowa's Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funds in the
amount of $465,233.00 for the Sergent Road Trail Bridge Replacements project.
Your project will be programmed into the MPO Fiscal Year 2023-20256 Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP) in federal fiscal year 2024. Attached is an MPO Iowa's TAP Programming Agreement
for your project. Please review and return a signed copy to the INRCOG office at your earliest
convenience.
To receive Iowa's TAP funds, the City must work with the Iowa Department of Transportation. To
initiate that process, project sponsors should contact Susan Hollenkamp at the Iowa DOT Systems
Planning Bureau in Ames.
Please note the City does not yet have a funding commitment nor is it authorized to expend Iowa's
TAP funds until the project has been authorized by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
Expenditures incurred prior to FHWA authorization will be ineligible for reimbursement. If you have
questions, please contact me at (319) 235-0311 or kdurant@inrcog.org.
Sincerely,
Kyle Durant
Transportation Planner II
