4.9.1 Advanced Funding Agreement Review
An Advance Funding agreement (AFA) in which TxDOT and a local government allocate participation is the most frequently used contract for project development. TxDOT and LGs negotiate an agreement that determines which party is responsible for conducting work, providing funding or contributing items in-kind.
TxDOT or the LG may be financially responsible for all or a portion of the work regardless of which party is responsible for performing the work.
Bridge specific AFAs are available for bridge work to local structures
Examples of work included in an AFA are:
- Acquiring ROW;
- Drafting engineering plans;
- Providing for utility relocation;
- Performing environmental studies and environmental mitigation;
- Supplying construction services; and
- Providing maintenance of a transportation project.
See
for an in-depth discussion of AFAs.
