								Project Description

Dear Mr. Mobley:

	This letter supplements the Master Agreement between the State Highway Administration and                   County, dated                          .

	The project proposed involves the replacement/rehabilitation of an existing bridge on _________ Road over (stream/road) located in                     County, Maryland.

	The improvements to be made are as follows: Construction of a structure carrying                        Road over                Creek. Resurfacing of existing                  Road which ties into the bridge touchdown points.

	All improvements will implemented within existing rights-of-way. [WITHIN THIS SECTION, PLACE THE COUNTY'S STATEMENT ON RIGHT OF WAY UTILIZING THE LANGUAGE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY'S MASTER AGREEMENT, SECTION 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2), OR 2(a)(3)] 

	The County, in its preliminary studies, does not project an increase in traffic as no new points of access are provided for in the project; nor does the County foresee any changes in land use or development patterns as a result of the proposed improvements.

	The preliminary engineering for the project will be completed by consultants and construction will be effected under a contract awarded after the solicitation and review of formal
bids. Both phases of work will comply with all applicable policies and procedures found in the FEDERAL AID POLICY GUIDE.
