Rodriguez #5
Allows the San Antonio River Authority to receive credit on design work done on the San Antonio Channel Improvement Project as part of the local cost-share portion of the project. Strikes language regarding the project agreement date to provide the Corps the ability to credit the local sponsor for construction work accomplished anytime during project implementation. The San Antonio Channel Improvement Project was authorized back in 1954 and due to its longstanding status as an active project, the Corps has already credited the San Antonio Channel project to the maximum limit under the Section 215 authority. The only remaining option for providing work-in-kind credit for construction would be through a specific authority for the project. The current language would limit the credit to work accomplished by the local sponsor prior to execution of the partnership agreement. LATE
