2.7.4 Develop Authority
Develop Authority is for projects within years 5 to 10 of the UTP.
Develop Authority funds represent the balance of the UTP Categories 1 to 12 that have not yet been programmed on specific projects. Districts may collectively program Develop Authority up to the amount of the current UTP balance, which is subject to TPP - UTP Section review for constraint.
Develop Authority projects may be eligible for eventual funding from any UTP category but
should not be maintenance projects
. Develop Authority projects should be fully programmed to warrant development activities. Fully programmed means the combination of programming (UTP Categories 1 to 12 and Develop Authority funds) equals the current/latest construction estimate. Any Develop Authority projects no longer in active development should be moved to CANDPA.Different work programs within Develop Authority are approved by Divisions shown in
:
Work Program | Terminology | Approval |
DDA | District Develop Authority | TPP – UTP |
6DA | Bridge Develop Authority | BRG |
8DA | Safety Develop Authority | Traffic Division (TRF) |
SWDA | Statewide Develop Authorit | TPP (for large strategic projects and future statewide initiatives) |
Develop Authority ends when a project is fully funded and ready to move to Construct Authority based on its stage of development. Once fully funded, projects can remain in Develop Authority if the stage of development does not warrant a move into Construct Authority.
