Consistent with previous years, Q3 2018 spending report shows an increase in spending compared to earlier quarters in 2018. Q3 2018 also shows higher spending than Q3 in both 2016 and 2017 (see Figure 2 on page 6). Year to date, the Move Seattle portfolio has incurred $108.1M in expenses against a revised budget of $209M. This spend rate reflects a 21% growth of overall spending compared to the same time period in the first two years of the Levy (see Figure 2 on page 6). In Q3, SDOT spent $25.7M in Move Seattle funds with year-to-date (YTD) expenditures at $59.0M in Move Seattle funds. MOVE SEATTLE ALL FUNDS ADOPTED BUDGET $ 155.0 M $ 325.8 M REVISED BUDGET $ 92.8 M $ 209.0 M 2018 SPEND PLAN $ 92.8 M $ 190.0 M Q3 SPENDING $ 25.7 M $ 47.6 M 2018 SPENDING-TO-DATE $ 59.0 M $ 108.1 M LEVY TO MOVE SEATTLE | QUARTERLY REPORT | Q3 2018 Page 4 of 40 Q3 spending was $47.6M vs. $59.9M identified in the spend plan (see Figure 3 on page 6); this deviation of $12.3M was driven by ongoing challenges with both local and regional capacity to design and deliver this portfolio. In response to these challenges and YTD expenditures, we expect a more realistic YTD spending scenario of $145M-$155M. Refer to Appendix A for a full list of program expenditures, including Q3 and 2018 YTD totals. While delivering our Q3 projects, and during the development of this report, SDOT also published the 2018 Updated Levy Workplan and is progressing to implement strategies to improve project delivery as identified in the Move Seattle Assessment. Please see the 2018 Updated Workplan or Move Seattle Assessment Report for more information on this work. KEY COST DRIVERS Program spending (all funds) in Q3 was $10.7M in Safe Routes, $13.4M in Maintenance & Repair, and $23.4M in Congestion Relief. Levy programs that recorded the most spending in Q3 included: • Safe Routes: $10.7M o Bicycle Safety: $2.8M o Transportation Operations: $2.2M • Maintenance & Repair: $13.4M o Arterial Roadway Maintenance: $6.6M o Paving Spot Improvements: $2.2M • Congestion Relief: $23.4M o Multimodal Improvements, 23rd Corridor: $7.4M o New Sidewalks: $5.2M o Partnership Improvements, Lander Overpass: $4.3M Q3 2018 BUDGET UPDATE SDOT’s Move Seattle project portfolio budget totals $209M, which represents 36% of the total SDOT budget. This reflects a $126M abandonment and re-appropriation that was codified by Council in the Q3 Supplemental. The purpose of the abandonment and re-appropriation was to update the total budget to reflect a more realistic spending scenario. Of the $126M abandoned in 2018, $90M was re-appropriated to 2019, $22M re-appropriated to 2020, and the remaining $11M re-appropriated to the final years of the Levy. The abandonment and re-appropriation includes the Move Seattle levy funds, local funds, and grant funds. This re-appropriation is incorporated in SDOT’s 2019 Proposed Budget via a Budget Issue Paper.
