Infrastructure Design Directive (IDD-2012-04) 30 July 2012 Page 2
• Chief Engineer or designee will forward Approved PPMR form to Project Scheduling Unit to update PPMS database and letting schedule. A copy of Approved PPMR form will be sent to the PDE for record keeping and distribution.
• Production Date change moving past month of August will be moved out of the
designated fiscal year and is subject to STIP amendment and NMDOT Cabinet Secretary approval.
• Funding changes greater than 20% of the Programmed Amount or exceeding
$2,000,000 will be subject to STIP Amendment. Modifications to the NMBIP (formerly GRIP) program may not be authorized unless concurred by the District Engineer and approved by the Chief Engineer. While modifications to the STIP are to be approved by the respective District Engineer but require concurrence from the Chief Engineer for purposes of acknowledging and addressing changes within the Production & Letting Schedule. As a result of procedures established by the STIP Amendment Cycle (reference STIP Procedures 2/9/2012 – attached), projects within the Production & Letting Schedule may become subject to delay or scheduling revision in the event projects are not appropriately programmed in the STIP. Refer to STIP Policies and Procedures (attached) The criteria for what specifically triggers a STIP Amendment (reference STIP Procedures 2/9/12 – attached), is as follows:
• addition or deletion of any project (except as noted in the Administrative Modifications section);
• substantial changes to the scope of a project (e.g. changing the number of through traffic lanes, changing the type of project such as from rehabilitation to reconstruction);
• changes to any project that would affect air quality conformity;
• changes in the availability (adding or deleting funds by Congressional action) of
earmarked (special appropriation) funds;
• moving a project into or out of the first four federal fiscal years of a STIP/TIP;
• changes in a project’s total programmed amount greater than 20% or an amount greater than $2,000,000 and projects with adjustments less than 20% or less than $2,000,000 that are not scheduled for production before the next quarterly amendment;
• changes in a project’s fund source(s) from non-federal to federal
• changes in the termini of a capacity project beyond limits presented to the public during the public involvement process
Infrastructure Design Directive (IDD-2012-04) 30 July 2012 Page 3 As you can see it is of utmost importance that development of your projects along with estimating receive the greatest level of attention and scrutiny into the last quarter of its development in order to avoid any potential delays to the program. Therefore the project development team, which is inclusive of the Districts, must assure their projects are planned, monitored, and programmed accordingly. General Office staff is to utilize the \\aspen\pseshare drive to access the Directive.

Introduction The purpose of this Policies and Procedures Manual is to: Provide guidance to the State of New Mexico’s Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Program Management Division of Transportation and NMDOT Planning Division staff for carrying out metropolitan transportation planning responsibilities. The document outlines procedures, policies, and timelines for working with the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) on the Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP). Agencies involved in this process include the MPOs, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the NMDOT. Each agency partner has a role in this metropolitan planning process. The five New Mexico MPOs are the Mid-Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MRMPO) of the Mid Regional Council of Governments (MRCOG), Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Organization (SFMPO), Farmington Metropolitan Planning Organization (FMPO), Las Cruces Metropolitan Planning Organization (LCMPO), and the El Paso Metropolitan Planning Organization (EPMPO).
The MPOs are federally designated forums for cooperative transportation decision making in metropolitan areas with a population over 50,000. Two of the five MPOs MRCOG and EMPO are designated Transportation Management Areas (TMA). A TMA is defined as having a population greater than 200,000. While all MPOs are required to work cooperatively with the DOT on funding, the two TMAs receive federal Surface Transportation Program-Urban (STPU) and Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) funding that is allocated by formula for their metropolitan planning areas. The three smaller MPOs are not allocated federal project funds and they rely solely on working with the NMDOT District offices to obtain federal funds for projects in their metropolitan planning areas.
Currently air quality conformity is not required for either of the TMAs in New Mexico. MRCOG is in attainment status for Carbon Monoxide. Southern Dona Ana County is out of compliance with ozone standards but official designation of non-attainment is still pending from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Also pending official release by the EPA are the new air quality regulations. They will affect conformity designations for several counties in New Mexico but as of this writing the release date is unknown.
Each state annually receives MPO planning funds apportioned by formula from the FHWA and FTA. NMDOT then distributes the funds by a statewide formula developed cooperatively between the MPOs and the DOT. The DOT is required to monitor MPO activities to assure that the federal planning process is being met. Planning funds are used by MPOs to carry out the metropolitan planning functions under 23 USC Section 134 and 49 USC 5305 et. seq. There are three main products of the metropolitan planning process: the Unified Planning Work Program, the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
The Unified Planning Work Program is an annual (or biannual) document that details the comprehensive and coordinated planning activities conducted by the MPOs and establishes the budget for planning funds. The Metropolitan Plan is a minimum 20 year long range multimodal plan that must be updated every five years through a collaborative public involvement process. All projects in the TIP must be consistent with the Metropolitan Transportation Plan and be fiscally constrained.
Page 2
The MPO TIP shall cover a period of no less than four years, be updated at least every four years and be approved by the MPO Policy Board and the Governor. The New Mexico MPOs update the TIP on a two year cycle. As in most states the Secretary of the Department of Transportation is authorized to act on the Governors behalf on matters related to federal transportation regulations. An MPO may revise the TIP at any time under procedures agreed to by the cooperating parties and it is consistent with federal regulations and public participation procedures. The first year of both the STIP and TIP constitute the “agreed to list” of projects for project selection purposes. The inclusion of projects in the first year of the approved STIP shall be viewed as a firm commitment to advance these projects during the STIP year, unless unforeseen problems arise with specific projects. The regulations provide an opportunity to revisit project selection if actual financial resources, including the highway obligation ceiling and transit appropriations, are significantly less than the initially expected or authorized amounts. In such cases, if requested by the MPO, State, or transit operator, a revised “agreed to list” of projects for project selection purposes must be developed. This Policies and Procedures Manual is intended to assist NMDOT in tracking administrative tasks required under the federal planning process. The Policies and Procedures Manual includes a calendar, timeline, and the following sections: Section I: STIP/TIP Procedures

Section I: Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)/ MPO
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Policies & Procedures Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is the state’s transportation capital improvement program. Federally funded and regionally significant projects in the MPO areas are reflected in the MPO TIP before they will be included in the STIP. The New Mexico STIP is generally a four year plan, and includes specific funding levels by year for project implementation, and is fiscally constrained so that project costs do not exceed estimated revenues, and is consistent with the Statewide Transportation Plan. The State Plan is policy document, there is no constrained portion. FHWA approves the STIP every two years. Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP) The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a list of funded transportation projects covering a minimum period of four years. The TIP is developed and formally adopted by an MPO as part of the metropolitan transportation planning process, consistent with the metropolitan transportation plan, and required for projects to be eligible for funding under title 23 U.S.C. and title 49 U.S.C Chapter 53. Once the TIP has been approved by the MPO, it shall be included in the STIP without modification.
Under 23 CFR 450.324-330, MPOs develop Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPS) that define which federal transportation funds are pledged to specific transportation projects in MPO regions. TIPs include all surface transportation projects funded with federal funding and all regionally significant projects even if funded by state or local dollars. Federal rules require TIPs to cover a period of not less than four years (Note: New Mexico TIPS generally cover six years), include project funding levels by year and funding source, and describe project work scopes. For projects to be included in TIPs, they must first be in the MPO’s MetropolitanTransportation Plans or consistent with the (MTP). A project, if not regionally significant or specifically identified as a line item in the MTP, must only be consistent with the MTP. TIPs are financially constrained to assure project costs do not exceed available estimated revenues. MPOs provide reasonable opportunity for public comment and review during TIP development and subsequent TIP amendment processes. Consistency and Cooperation between STIP and TIP The development of metropolitan area TIPs shall be compatible with the STIP development process 23 CFR § 450.324(a). The STIP will be developed in cooperation with MPO's, and TIPs shall be developed in cooperation with the NMDOT and public transportation operators 23 CFR § 450.216(b) and 23 CFR § 450.3324(a). Each MPO's TIP shall be incorporated into the STIP without change 3 CFR § 450.216 (b) and 23 CFR § 450.326(b). NMDOT Public Review and Comment Procedures A press release will be issued through NMDOT’s Public Information Office and the Amendment in process will be posted on the external website of NMDOT for 30 days. The Amendment will
Page 5
also be part of the Commission book and be made available at the State Transportation Committee Meeting for comment from the public. In addition, each MPO is responsible for developing public involvement procedures in accordance with 23 CFR § 450.316(a) and 23 CFR § 450.324(b) Projects Not Required in the STIP
23 USC 402 and 49 USC 31102 Safety Projects Metropolitan Planning (PL) projects funded under 23 USC 104(f), 49 USC 5305(d), and
49 USC 5339; State planning and research (SPR) projects funded under 23 USC 505 and 49 USC(e)
Note: this does not include projects funded with NHS, STP and minimum allocation (MA) funds that the State and MPO for a metropolitan area agree should be in the TIP and consequently must be in the STIP);
Emergency relief (ER) projects (except those involving substantial functional, locational or capacity changes);
National planning and research projects funded under 49 USC 5314; and Project management oversight projects funded under 49 USC 5327. 23 CFR 450.216(g); State/locally funded projects that are not deemed regionally significant
Projects Required in the STIP
All capital and non-capital transportation projects other than FTA-funded planning projects (including transportation enhancements, federal lands highways projects, trails projects, pedestrian walkways, and bicycle transportation facilities), or identified phases of transportation projects, proposed for funding under Title 23 and the Federal Transit Act, 23 CFR 450.216(g)
All regionally significant transportation projects requiring an action by the FHWA or the FTA whether or not the projects are to be funded with title 23 U.S.C. or Federal Transit Act funds. 23 DFR 450.216(h)
All projects must be consistent with the Statewide and Metropolitan Long-range Transportation Plans
All metropolitan major, FTA New Starts, and regionally significant projects must come from Metropolitan Transportation Plans (MTPs).
Contributions All fund contributions must be made known at the time of authorization by inclusion on the Fed Form. Per 23 CFR 630.106(h), donations of cash, land, material, or services may be credited to the State’s non-Federal share of participating work; however, it may not exceed the total costs incurred by the State on the project. In order to accurately determine the full cost of the project, all elements of the project cost must be accounted for regardless of the source. Project donations that are not identified at the time of authorization because they were unknown or had not yet been contributed to the project, must be identified via Fed Form and documented in FHWA’s Fiscal Management Information System within 90 days of NMDOT personnel becoming aware of the donation. Procedures All projects or project phases included in the adopted STIP/TIP will be programmed to the amount needed to complete the project or phase within a time frame that allows all project
Page 6
requirements to be met by the obligation authorization deadline. However, project costs may rise or fall as a result of forces outside the project sponsor’s control. In the same way, projects may not be able to be completed in the time frame originally estimated. For these and other reasons, sponsors may find it necessary to request revisions to the adopted STIP/TIP. According to federal regulations 23 CFR § 450.104 STIP/TIP Revisions are changes made to a STIP/TIP; and are further classified into two categories:
STIP/TIP Amendments are major revisions which require public review and comment, redemonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determination, as well as official approval by the MPOs transportation board for projects that fall within a MPO and previewed at the State Transportation Commission for Informational purposes only. This is followed by submission to the New Mexico Secretary of Transportation for approval and subsequent approval by the FHWA and FTA.
STIP/TIP Administrative Modifications are minor revisions which can be made by the STIP Coordinator and MPO staff after proper notification and verification that the change(s) falls into this category.
A. Amendments to the STIP/TIP NMDOT has established a process for amending the STIP on a quarterly basis. This schedule allows for the New Mexico State Transportation Commission to review proposed STIP amendments at their meetings, as stated in Table 1-1. To coordinate with the state process, a unified schedule for MPOs process of TIP Amendments through their committees as stated in Table 1-2 (NMDOT letter dated January 18, 2012). Please consult with your local MPO for submittal deadlines. For all STIP/TIP amendments the opportunity for public participation will be provided in accordance Public Involvement Procedures 23 CFR § 450.210 and 23 CRF § 450.316. STIP/TIP amendments will be available for public comment at the Commission and MPO meetings. After approval by the NMDOT Secretary and MPO the amendment is forwarded to FHWA and FTA for approval 23 CFR 450.218(b). A Quarterly Amendment Cycle has been established for the STIP/TIP per NMDOT procedures. (See table 1-1 & 1-2 pg.13) Amendments are required for:
addition or deletion of any project (except as noted in the Administrative Modifications section below);
substantial changes to the scope of a project (e.g. changing the number of through traffic lanes, changing the type of project such as from rehabilitation to reconstruction);
changes to any project that would affect air quality conformity; changes in the availability (adding or deleting funds by Congressional action) of
earmarked (special appropriation) funds; moving a project into or out of the first four federal fiscal years of a STIP/TIP; changes in a project’s total programmed amount greater than 20% or an amount greater
than $2,000,000 and projects with adjustments less than 20% or less than $2,000,000 that are not scheduled for production before the next quarterly amendment;
changes in a project’s fund source(s) from non-federal to federal changes in the termini of a capacity project beyond limits presented to the public during
the public involvement process
Page 7
B. Out-of-Cycle Amendments Situations may arise that require amendments be made to the TIP and STIP outside of the prescribed quarterly cycle. An Out-of-Cycle Amendment process has been established for rare situations which occur that require amendments to be processed outside of the quarterly cycle. The following steps must be followed:
For projects within a MPO area, the lead agency sends a formal request for an out-of-cycle amendment to the MPO (addressed to the chairperson of the MPO). For projects outside a MPO the lead agency sends the formal request to their specified district.
The request must include the reason(s) for the amendment and why it cannot be addressed within the quarterly cycle; and
The letter should include signature lines, one for the chairperson of the MPOs transportation board, and one for the Secretary of the NMDOT.
If approved by the MPOs transportation board, the request is forwarded to the Secretary of the NMDOT.
If approved by the Secretary, the out-of-cycle amendment continues through the STIP/TIP approval process.
C. Administrative Modifications
Administrative Modification/Adjustments are required for any revisions that do not meet the Amendment criteria listed above, such examples as:
changes in a project’s programmed amount less than 20% (up to $2,000,000) only ONE adjustment per project in an active STIP/TIP (the adjustment should only be used as part of the federal authorization process to increase the programmed amount if the final estimate exceeds the current programmed amount);
minor changes to the scope of a project (e.g. change to a project that does not require any recertification);
minor changes to the termini of a non-capacity project which falls within the termini of the environmental document and does not extend beyond the limits taken to the public
adding or deleting a project development phase of a project (Env.Doc, PE, Design, ROW, Constr. or Other) without major changes to the scope to the project;
moving projects in any of the first four years of the STIP/TIP may be advanced in place of another project in the first four years of the STIP/TIP 23 CFR § 450.216(n) and to include the movement of those funds to another federal fiscal year provided they are not being moved into or out of the first four fiscal years of a STIP/TIP and show fiscal constraint.
minor changes to funding sources of a project in the STIP/TIP (including switching Federal funding categories);
changes in a project’s fund source(s) from Federal to non-federal with no changes to the project’s scope (however, the disposition of the “freed-up” federal funds remain under the authority of the Districts/MPO and are subject to STIP/TIP Revisions as appropriate); and only if funds have not been obligated
changes in the termini of a capacity project which falls within the termini of the approved environmental document and does not extend beyond the limits of what was presented to the public during the public involvement process;
changing a project’s lead agency when agreed upon by the two agencies affected.
Page 8
In addition, the following changes shall also be considered Administrative Modifications: changes made to an existing project’s amount of local or state non-matching funds
provided no other funding, scoping or termini changes are being made to the project only if the project is NOT regionally significant. If the project is regionally significant it will need to follow the same criteria for an amendment or an administrative adjustment even though it is local or state funds;
changes made to an existing project’s programmed FTA funds, National Scenic Byway funds, Federal Lands Highway Program funds (FH, IRR, PRP, PLHD, WRR & DAR) and Federal Recreational Trail funds, in order to reflect the actual amount awarded by the federal agency and the corresponding required amount of matching funds;
adding a project to the STIP/TIP which utilizes FTA funds, National Scenic Byway funds, Federal Lands Highway Program funds (FH, IRR, PRP, PLHD, WRR & DAR), Federal Recreational Trail funds, or 100% state and/or local funds, provided the total project amount is $2,000,000 or less, and the project is consistent with the MTP (if within an MPO area) having minor impact on the overall metropolitan transportation system and it will not add or reduce through-travel lanes on any roadway functionally classified as an urban collector or rural major collector or higher;
adding a project to the STIP/TIP which is split from a “parent project” provided the cumulative, total amount of federal funding in each funding category in the parent and split projects remains intact and the overall scope of work intended to be accomplished does not change or affect NEPA
combining two or more projects already in the STIP/TIP provided the cumulative, total amount of federal funding in each funding category of the combined projects remains intact and the overall scope of work intended to be accomplished does not change.
D. Project Description
Project description information that must be provided under 23 CFR 450.216;
1) “Sufficient descriptive material (i.e., type of work, termini, and length) to identify the project or phase. Example of an acceptable project description “Rehabilitate and widen from 4-6 lanes, including bicycle lanes, ADA, curb cuts and sidewalk median and shoulder landscaping”. 2) “Estimated total cost, or a project cost range, which may extend beyond the four years of the STIP; 3) The amount of federal funds proposed to be obligated during each program year. For the first year, the proposed category of federal funds and source(s) of non-federal funds. For the second, third and fourth years, likely category or possible categories of Federal funds and sources non-federal funds); and 4) Identification of the agencies responsible for carrying out the project or phase.”
E. Corrective Actions Corrective actions are used when project(s) in the STIP do not currently meet all the STIP requirements, and further actions by the state, MPO(s), or project sponsor is needed to meet or complete the requirements. Corrective actions may include the following:
Projects had poor or no fiscal information. Projects may be approved and included in
the STIP as soon as funding is assured, and fiscal constraint is determined. Funding cannot be assured for specific phase of a project, and proposed innovative
financing package is not yet completed. Projects can be amended into the STIP when the funding estimate and source are identified.
Page 9
Projects in the STIP are not consistent or in the long-range transportation plan. Projects will be approved when the plan is amended.
F. Conditional or Partial Approval of STIP Amendments
FHWA/FTA can approve the STIP subject to certain corrective actions being taken; or under special circumstances, approve a partial STIP covering only a portion of the State. The FHWA and the FTA shall review the STIP or the amended STIP, and make a joint finding on the extent to which the STIP is based on a statewide transportation planning process that meets or substantially meets the requirements of 23 USC § 134 and 135, 49 USC § 5303 and 5304, and subparts A, B, and C of 23 CFR § 450. Approval, conditional approval, and partial approval shall be issued in accordance with 23 CFR § 450.218(b) and in accordance with 23 CFR § 450.328 and 23 CFR § 450.334(a) for metropolitan area TIPs. These are special circumstances that may result in a partial STIP Approval:
The rural portion of STIP or the metropolitan TIP could not meet the set STIP schedule, and other STIP portions were ready to be advanced for approval. The State/NMDOT requested partial approval for the advanced portion only.
The metropolitan TIPs did not have the conformity determination analysis completed yet, but the rural portion of the STIP was completed. The State/NMDOT requested FHWA/FTA’s approval of STIP containing the rural projects.
The State/NMDOT did not have adequate public involvement procedures, which resulted in delaying the rural portion of the STIP. The MPO’s TIPs had adequate public involvement, and met all the TIP requirements. The state/NMDOT was facing a lapsed STIP, and decided to forward the TIPs for partial STIP approval.
FLH projects could not meet the set STIP schedule.
If FHWA/FTA jointly determined that the STIP or amendment does not substantially meet the requirements of 23 USC 135 and 23 CFR 450.220 for any identified categories of projects, they will not approve the STIP. [23 CFR 450.218(b)]. Congressionally earmarked projects may be conditionally approved subject to meeting all applicable planning and environmental requirements.
Page 10
Section II: TIP Management
Project Status Update At a minimum, in March and August, lead agencies shall provide the MPO with an assessment of the status of those projects in the current and following year of the TIP. In early September of each year a status report will be provided by each lead agency with supplemental funding obligation information. Failure by a lead agency to provide this information may jeopardize the priority of their project(s) in the TIP. The following information shall be provided:
● Do the funds programmed in the current fiscal year of the TIP have a reasonable expectation of being obligated or secured (based on the “project readiness” criteria)? ● Does the project’s total programmed funding:
-meet the total estimated project cost? -significantly exceed the total estimated project costs? -fall significantly short of the total estimated project costs?
● How is any shortfall of programmed funds being addressed? ● Are there any other project situations that affect timing, amount, or category of t he
programmed funds? ● Have the project’s scope and termini changed from what is noted in the TIP? ● A status report on federal funding for each project including: -What amount of federal funding has been obligated in this FY? -What amount of federal funding is expected to be obligated in this FY? -What is the date(s) of obligation? -What funding category(ies) was obligated? -How much was not obligated and needs to “roll-over” into the next FY?
Based on the information provided and other information, the TIP will be revised, if necessary, according to procedures for TIP Revisions. From information obtained from lead agencies throughout the year, projects may be rescheduled from one fiscal year to another. This will be accomplished by switching the scheduling of one project with one or more other projects utilizing federal funds of approximately equal value so as to maintain the overall amount of funds programmed in each federal fiscal year in the TIP. This will be reviewed on a project-by-project basis depending on project readiness to obligate the remaining funds and funding availability in each federal fiscal year. This will be done by Administrative Modification. In August or September of each year the MPO will work with the districts to utilize, the “Project Selection” procedures to select projects for the new fiscal year program. Each MPO and respective district shall follow the time frame specified in the timeline on page 3 of these procedures for “District Call Out for Projects and Deadlines to get Districts Projects” along with the End of Year Procedures on page 11.
Page 11
Section III: End-of-Year Close-out Procedures
Situations may arise that require adjustments be made to the STIP/TIP at federal fiscal year end.
An End of Year close-out may require that the NMDOT and MPOs work together to make sure projects get obligated. The following steps must be followed:
1. The NMDOT districts send a formal request to the MPO requesting the move of a project forward as an administrative modification in accordance with the above procedures.
2. Projects that can be considered for a close out project if they have all certifications complete and can be obligated before end of the first week of September in their respective federal fiscal year. These projects must be programmed in the current four year STIP and first four years of a current MPO’s TIP (if applicable).
3. The process of moving projects forward for closeout will follow the 23 CFR § 450.216 and 23 CFR § 450.330
4. MPO may need to request special meeting with their board in the case that a new project is going to be added that requires an amendment to the TIP.
Each MPO shall develop, in cooperation with the local NMDOT District and the STIP Unit, a process to monitor the progress and status of each project in the first two years of the TIP. At a minimum the process shall include the following:
1. At the beginning of the 3rd and 4th quarters of each federal fiscal year, MPO staff and appropriate NMDOT staff shall meet to review all projects with federal and/or state funds programmed in that fiscal year. They shall review, as applicable, the status of each project's local government agreement, project certifications, status of completing the project's current development phase(s), right-of-way acquisition status, etc. and identify potential issues which may cause funding to not be obligated by September 30th.
