Priority criteria for freight mobility
projects.
((From the effective date of this act through the
biennium ending June 30, 2001, the board shall use the
multicriteria analysis and scoring framework for evaluating and
ranking eligible freight mobility and freight mitigation projects
developed by the board and contained in the January 16, 1998,
report entitled "Project Eligibility, Priority and Selection
Process for a Strategic Freight Investment Program.")) The board
shall use a multicriteria analysis and scoring framework, which
may be periodically refined, for evaluating and ranking eligible
freight mobility and freight mitigation projects. The
prioritization process shall measure the degree to which projects
address important program objectives and shall generate a project
score that reflects a project's priority compared to other
projects. The board shall assign scoring points to each
criterion that indicate the relative importance of the criterion
in the overall determination of project priority. ((For projects
funded after June 30, 2001, the board may supplement and refine
the initial project priority criteria and scoring framework
developed by the board.))

WAC 226-16-160
Work progress on freight mobility projects.
The lead agency must begin work on a project within twelve months
of the date the board approves the project, unless the board
grants an extension. To determine if work has begun, the board
will assess the project progress as compared to the information
provided the board when the project was authorized for funding.
If project activity has not started and it appears the project is
falling behind the proposed schedule, the board may review the
project status to determine if board funds should be withdrawn
from the project and reallocated to another proposed project.
The board may grant an extension if, in the board's opinion, the
project will begin work shortly after the original twelve-month
period has elapsed. For purposes of this section, "begin work"
means the date that a contract is advertised.

WAC 226-20-010
Matching ratios for freight mobility program
funds.
The board gives preference to projects that contain the
greatest levels of financial participation from nonprogram fund
sources. The board shall consider twenty percent as the minimum
partnership contribution, unless the board grants a special
exception. The maximum amount of funding on a project from the
freight mobility board shall be fifty million dollars. The board
may allow the use of matching ratios greater than the original
matching ratio on any phase of a project to facilitate project
development, with the understanding that the total payments made
by project completion shall not exceed the original matching
ratio. The board allows other state funds to be considered part
of the local matching funds, and port funds expended off of port
property will be considered private funds.
