                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 23, 2009

  Mr. SULLIVAN. Madam Speaker, consistent with House Republican Earmark 
Standards, I am submitting the following earmark disclosure and 
certification information for three project funding requests that I 
made and were included within the text of H.R. 3288--the FY 2010 
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act.


                               Project 1

  Project: Tulsa International Airport, Memorial Drive and Waterline 
Project
  Project Amount: $500,000
  Account: Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Tulsa Airport and Improvement Trust/
City of Tulsa
  Address of Requesting Entity: P.O. Box 581838, Tulsa, OK 74103
  Description of Request: Funding will upgrade approximately 1,000 feet 
of 8" waterline to 12" and extend the line an additional 1,800 feet. It 
will also reconstruct and re-align Memorial Drive south of Port Road, 
including repairs to about 1,000 feet of existing road and re-alignment 
of approximately 1,000 feet of road. This work is needed to support re-
development of this area from its old, original residential use into an 
area being prepared for construction of large aircraft maintenance, 
repair and overhaul facilities planned for the North Development Area 
at Tulsa International Airport.


                               Project 2

  Project: US 60, widen between Bartlesville and Pawhuska, Osage 
County, OK
  Project Amount: $400,000
  Account: Federal Highway Administration Transportation & Community & 
System Preservation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Oklahoma Department of 
Transportation
  Address of Requesting Entity: 200 NE 21st Street, Oklahoma City, OK 
73105
  Description of Request: Funding will be used to provide needed 
transportation improvements to a heavily traveled narrow two lane 
highway containing both poor vertical and horizontal curves resulting 
in a high rate of accidents. This road is a key National Highway System 
route in northeastern Oklahoma, more specifically connecting 
Bartlesville and Vinita. This critical project is important for 
widening US 60 from approximately 2 miles east of the US 60/US 75 
interchange east approximately 5.5 miles.


                               Project 3

  Project: Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority, bus purchase, Tulsa, 
OK
  Project Amount: $750,000
  Account: Federal Transit Administration Buses & Bus Facilities
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority
  Address of Requesting Entity: 510 S. Rockford, Tulsa, OK 74120
  Description of Request: Continued funding will be used to help Tulsa 
Transit's aging paratransit vehicle fleet--In the next three years, 26 
of Tulsa Transit's full-sized transit buses will be eligible for 
replacement and all of the 40 paratransit vehicles are now ready to be 
replaced. Without the flow of capital funding to replace obsolete 
equipment, it is extremely difficult to maintain levels of service and 
existing route structure. Ridership has been increasing over the last 
year due to high fuel prices and the demand for transit service is 
expected to continue to increase.
