SPECIAL NOTICE TO CONSULTANTS

Beginning July 1, 2017, MoDOT will be utilizing a new tool for executing contracts, DocuSign.  This new tool is free to our consultants and is compatible with any device that receives email.  DocuSign is a web based product that does not require any other applications on the consultant’s part. 

 

After the Consultant selection has been made, a contract will need to be executed.  The consultant will receive an email from MoDOT via DocuSign to sign the contract.  Once the contract is opened the signer will be asked to enter an access code.  This access code will be provided by mail (one access code per consultant).  Before signing electronically the consultant must agree to the DocuSign, Inc. Express Electronic Signature Agreement to do business with MoDOT.  After the contract has been fully executed, the consultant will receive an email from DocuSign with the fully executed agreement.

 

Linked below are the DocuSign User Guide and the DocuSign Agreement that must be checked before you sign each contract.  We ask for your patience as we transition to DocuSign and require all of our consultants to use DocuSign when executing contracts.

Federal Register Notice for Participation in Local Empowerment for Accelerating Projects (LEAP) Pilot Program

FHWA is soliciting applications from interested local public agencies (LPAs) for participation in the Local Empowerment for Accelerating Projects (LEAP) Pilot Program, through Federal Register (FR) Notice FHWA-2016-0030 that will be published on Wednesday, October 26, 2016.  A copy of the notice is currently available for view at https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-25894.pdf

Aware of interests and concerns for improvements of the Federal-aid Highway Program (FAHP) delivery to LPAs, the Office of  Program Administration (HIPA) collaborated with the Office of the Secretary to conduct, on an experimental basis, the direct delivery of Federal-aid funding to LPA for sponsored projects.  Up to five LPAs will be selected for the pilot with the objectives to:

 

  • Determine whether LPAs can deliver Federal-aid projects more expeditiously and at a lower cost as a direct recipient.
  • Assess the additional costs and other impacts to FHWA associated with providing effective and efficient stewardship and oversight to an expanded number of direct Federal-aid recipients, and to explore various approaches to stewardship and oversight. (Additional FHWA resources are incorporated in the pilot).

 

The pilot program will be carried out for a period of five years (unless extended).  Applications for the program are requested by November 25, 2016.  Please share this notice with your State DOT and assist us, to the extent  practical, in getting information to LPAs.  Selected LPAs will need to enter into agreements with their respective State DOTs and FHWA that set forth the terms of the parties’ responsibilities and the amount of Federal-aid highway funds to be transferred to the LPA from the State’s apportionment.  HIPA is planning for an opportunity to discuss this initiative in more details with Division offices; more information will be forthcoming.  In the meantime, feel free to contact Gregory Murrill directly at 202-366-5530 or Bob Wright (Robert.Wright@dot.gov) at 202-366-4630 if you have any questions.

LPA Program Changes

On July 7, 2016, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) approved the elimination of the Small Urban Surface Transportation (STP-SU) and On-System Bridge and Rehabilitation (BRM) Programs.  These programs have not been required by a federal transportation bill since 1991 so the MHTC decided to discontinue funding these programs in fiscal year 2017.  These funds will be redirected towards MoDOT’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and distributed using the MHTC funding allocation formula.  This was a tough and unpopular decision but was necessary due to limited resources.

The last allocation of STP-SU program funds has been allocated for fiscal year 2016 and is reflected in the linked STP-SU fund balances and on the LPA website.  MoDOT will honor previous project commitments and allow sponsors three years to use existing balances.  Project sponsors will have until September 30, 2019 to obligate any remaining balance.  No federal obligations will be allowed after September 30, 2019 including change orders, award adjustments or any other project related activities. Reimbursements of expenditures are eligible after September 30, 2019 as long as the funds have been obligated.  Any remaining unobligated balances will be redirected to MoDOT’s STIP after September 30, 2019.

Thank you for your continued partnership to improve Missouri’s transportation system.  Please work with your local MoDOT contact to use your remaining balance.  Please contact Kenny Voss at 573-526-2924 if you have any questions regarding this decision.

LPA Environmental Review Changes

The process for requesting environmental review of federally funded LPA projects by MoDOT has changed.  A new electronic Request for Environment Review (RER) has been created to replace the old RER form.  The new electronic RER can be found at:

RER Instructions

The electronic RER has been updated in the LPA Manual (EPG 136.6) along with instructions (Fig. 136.6.5) on how to complete the form.  All projects that have not started the environmental review process will use the new electronic form.  Any projects that have already started the review process will continue following the old review process.

LPA Manual & Process Change - Right of Way Acquisition

LPA Partners,

MoDOT, in conjunction with the LPA Advisory Committee, has recently completed a review of the LPA right of way acquisition process, which has resulted in several process improvements. Changes to the LPA Manual (EPG 136.8.2.2 & 136.8.8.1) have now been updated to reflect these new processes. Effective April 1, 2015 the following will apply to all active LPA projects that have not been issued an A-Date or Notice to Proceed for right of way acquisition: 

  • A detailed right of way acquisition schedule (Form EPG 136.8.2.2) must be established by the LPA, or its consultant, & reviewed by MoDOT prior to being granted a notice to proceed or an A-Date.   We’ve also created an instructions sheet (Form EPG 136.8.2.2A) for how to complete the form and establish each completion date for the schedule.
  •  The following changes have also been made to the Acquisition Authority Request form (Form 136.8.1):
    • The LPA will identify “Who will be responsible for negotiating the right of way”
    • MoDOT will identify the “MoDOT Right of Way Employee assigned to this project”
  • MoDOT Right of Way Staff will call the LPA’s person who is responsible for the right of way negotiations before an A-Date or NTP is issued to help kick off the acquisition process, & help identify any potential road blocks.  The main focus of this call is to build / strengthen relationships between MoDOT’s RW staff & the LPA’s. We’re hoping this will help you feel more comfortable calling MoDOT when you have a right of way related problem or a question.
  • Once a right of way schedule is established & a notice to proceed is issued for the project, MoDOT will ensure the LPA is progressing through the process in accordance with the schedule established.  This means, if &/or when the time comes to file a condemnation petition, the LPA’s will be required to do so. This doesn’t mean negotiations have to stop at this point, it’s just leading the project into the next step of the process.  Many times we’ve found that as soon as the petition was filed, property owners decided to settle.

If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact your MoDOT District LPA contact person.  Here is a link to the contact person in your district:

Consultant Invoicing Requirements

There is a clarification in the EPG dated 8/22/12 on consultant invoicing requirements. As you all are aware we are requiring the use of our template invoice for consultants. The question came up about what the requirements were for sub-consultants. Listed below will be the new language provided in the EPG.

The invoice template MUST be used for prime consultant invoices. Sub-consultants who have a contract with the prime that is greater than $25,000 must either use the invoice template or provide all information that is listed in this invoice template to be considered acceptable.

We strongly encourage the use of the invoice template for those sub-consultants with contracts in excess of $25,000 to ensure invoices contain the all the information that is required for reimbursement and to avoid sending invoices back for correction.

2012 Discretionary Grant Awards

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has announced the award of 2012 Discretionary Grant projects. Missouri was awarded 13 projects totally $7,176,609 as shown in the link below:

MoDOT & LPA Engineering Consultant Invoicing Requirements

The new LPA and MoDOT engineering consultant invoices are now required to be used. This requirement went into effect July 1, 2012. MoDOT has developed an Excel version of the invoice to replace the old Word version that was previously used. The new versions are currently available on MoDOT's website and can be found as listed below:

Title Invoice Checklist Location on MoDOT's Website
MoDOT Consultant Invoice Fig. 134.5.1.1 Fig. 134.5.1.2 EPG 134

LPA Consultant Invoice Fig. 136.4.10 Fig. 136.4.18 EPG 136/LPA Manual Chapter 4

CLARIFICATION: For all existing contracts that have been previously invoiced (prior to July 1, 2012), the consultant only needs to show information on the current phase of the contract in the Progress Report section of the invoice. For example (see example below), if a consultant has completed preliminary plans, right of way plans, final plans, and is currently working on construction inspection; the invoice only needs to show the history on the construction inspection phase since that is the current phase of work.

For all new contracts that have not been previously invoiced (as of July 1, 2012), all information in the invoice must be filled out.

EXAMPLE (for existing projects only): Section 4: Progress Report - % Complete & DBE
