Please contact me or Tom Larsen at the phone number below if <br />you need additional information. <br />Project name: Acquire and renovate facility to serve as multimodal transportation center, Eugene. <br />1. Give a detailed description of the project that will be carried out with the TEA-21 earmarked <br />funds. <br />The project will entail acquiring as a publicly-owned asset the Eugene passenger train station (Amtrak <br />station) which is now privately owned; performing design and engineering work; and improving the <br />building, grounds, access and parking. The project concept has been developed based on earlier <br />studies and recent review by the Mayor's North End Scoping Group, but detailed site planning and <br />design has not yet occurred. <br />2. Describe how the project will be funded. Give the total project cost and identify each funding <br />source (federal programs, state gas tax, local or other) and amounts. Make sure to identify how the <br />TEA-21 earmarked funds will be used. <br />Cost estimates have not yet been prepared for various elements of the project. It is anticipated that the <br />total project will cost more than the amount of funds available at this time. The following table shows <br />the expected expenditure of funds for the first phase of the project, using currently available funding: <br />Preliminary engineering: <br />Land acquisition and <br />construction of Phase 1 improvements <br />TEA-21 funds Amtrak funds Total <br />$200,000 $50,000 $250,000 <br />1,800,000 450,000 2,250,000 <br />Total $2,000,000 $500,000 $2,500,000 <br />
