Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The RAP biennial program cycle consists of the following basic
				steps:
(1) The CRABoard establishes a
			 funding period if it determines that sufficient future RATA funds are available
			 to provide for new RAP projects. This determination takes place during the
			 CRABoard's regularly scheduled fall meeting in odd-numbered years.
Consistent with WAC
				136-130-020, should the board
				determine there are adequate RATA funds available to be allocated to each
				region and, under advisement from each region, the board's action shall include
				the determination of the amount to be allocated to each project type within
				each region. The board's RATA funding allocation may include all or any subset
				of the project types described under WAC
				136-130-020, and this decision
				may be unique to each region and may vary between funding periods.
(2) Each eligible county prepares
			 and submits a preliminary prospectus to the county road administration
			 board;
(3) County road
			 administration board staff conducts a field review of each preliminary
			 prospectus and provides to each submitting county an evaluation and scoring of
			 all priority elements which are based on a visual examination, using that
			 region's priority rating process;
(4) Each eligible county prepares and submits
			 a final prospectus to the county road administration board;
(5) For each final prospectus submitted,
			 county road administration board staff computes the total priority rating score
			 and assembles all projects into rank-ordered arrays by region; and
(6) The county road administration board
			 reviews the rank-ordered arrays in each region and, based upon the RATA funds
			 projected to be allocable for the next project program period (see WAC
			 136-161-070), selects and
			 approves specific projects for RATA funding.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Projects of an emergent nature may be funded through the rural
				arterial program as authorized by chapter 36.79 RCW. An emergent project is
				defined as a project whose need the county was unable to anticipate at the time
				the six-year program of the county was developed. Emergency work to temporarily
				restore a county road for the short-term use of the traveling public is not
				eligible for funding as an emergent project; however, a project to permanently
				repair a county road after an emergency may be considered for funding if the
				proposed project meets all other requirements of the rural arterial
				program.
To be eligible for emergent project approval, the project shall
				be evaluated by the county road administration board grant programs engineer,
				with the participation of the county engineer, on the same point system as all
				other projects within the region. The proposed emergent project must rank at or
				above the regional funding cutoff line on the current array based upon one
				hundred percent of the current estimated regional allocation as determined by
				the county road administration board.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) When a county submits its final
			 prospectus as described in WAC 136-161-050, the county road administration
			 board presumes that the amount of RATA funds requested, plus any non-RATA funds
			 that may be designated for the project, are sufficient to fully, and in a
			 timely manner, complete the project as described.
(2) All cost increases during the course of
			 construction shall be the responsibility of the county. In extraordinary
			 circumstances, a county may request an increase in the amount of RATA funds
			 allocated to a project. A county may request an increase in a project's RATA
			 allocation once during the course of a project's development, and such request
			 may occur only after completion of preliminary engineering, but prior to
			 commencing construction. A project shall be considered to have commenced
			 construction if:
(a) The construction contract
			 for the work has been awarded; or
(b) If done by county forces, the work has
			 commenced, except for construction engineering.
Requests for increases in excess of 25 percent of the original
				RATA allocation will not be considered or granted; the county must secure other
				funds, withdraw or request the termination of the project, or request a change
				in scope and/or project limits. If current funding sources are not sufficient
				to cover the costs beyond a 25 percent increase, the county may resubmit the
				same project for funding in the next funding period. Upon funding of the new
				project by the county road administration board, the previous contract shall
				become void. All RATA funds expended on the previous contract shall be repaid
				to the county road administration board unless waived by the county road
				administration board in keeping with provisions of WAC 136-167-030.

			 factors:
(a) Whether the county, at the time

			 136-165-020(4);
(b) Whether the
			 county's request for an increased allocation is based on extraordinary and
			 unforeseeable circumstances of the type listed in WAC 136-165-020(5);
(c) Whether it is feasible to reduce the
			 scope and/or project limits so the project can be substantially constructed
			 within the initial RATA allocation;
(d) Whether the request is to pay for an
			 expansion of the project; and
(e)
			 Whether the increased allocation will have an adverse effect on other approved
			 or requested RATA funded projects.
