Resolution to Request the Virginia Department of Transportation to Program Seven State of Good Repair Projects into its Six-Year Improvement Plan; to Amend the FY2026 City Council Approved Capital Fund (Capital Projects Fund) Budget to Incorporate each of those Projects; to Appropriate $3,263,526 of Available VDOT State of Good Repair Funds to the Capital Projects Fund for each of those Projects; and to Authorize the City Manager or Her Designee to Execute any Necessary Agreements
Purpose
The Commonwealth Transportation Board approved by Resolution on June 24, 2025, the State of Good Repair district funding distribution percentages for fiscal year 2026. Pursuant to Code of Virginia § 33.2-369, as amended, titled “State of Good Repair”, the Virginia Department of Transportation (“VDOT”) provides funding for reconstruction and replacement of structurally deficient state and locally owned bridges and rehabilitation of pavement, including municipality maintained primary extensions. The City of Hampton (“City”) applied and was approved for that State of Good Repair funding, and a total of $1,400,211 was allocated for four (4) projects, as follows: 659 Pembroke Avenue Resurfacing Project ($323,610); 676 Pembroke Avenue Resurfacing Project ($370,960); 669 Pembroke Avenue Resurfacing Project ($409,322); 679 Pembroke Avenue Resurfacing Project ($296,319).
In addition, in June of 2025, VDOT identified an available balance in the Hampton Roads State of Good Repair Local Paving program and offered localities an opportunity to apply for additional funding. The City applied and was approved for additional State of Good Repair funding in a total amount of $1,863,315 to be allocated for three (3) additional projects, as follows: 675 Pembroke Avenue Resurfacing Project ($764,325); 593 Todds Lane Resurfacing Project ($584,337); and 594 Todds Lane Resurfacing Project ($514,653).
All of those projects will enhance transportation within the City of Hampton. Once the allocations are accepted by the City, the funds are available immediately. VDOT has already assigned project numbers in anticipation of the City's approval of this request.
