Authorize payment to the Texas Department of Transportation for the Advance Funding Agreement (Agreement No. CSJ 0918-47-348, etc., Assistance Listing No. 20.205) for cost overruns related to the construction of four traffic signals and associated off-system intersection improvements at: Gaston Avenue at Haskell Avenue, Peavy Road at Oates Drive, Lake June Road at Pleasant Drive, and McKinney Avenue at Routh Street - Total amount of $751,825.83 - Financing: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund ($632,990.32) and General Fund ($118,835.51)
Body
BACKGROUND
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) administers the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program, which provides grant funding to reconstruct traffic signals at high-accident intersections in the City of Dallas.
On February 14, 2024, the City Council authorized an Advance Funding Agreement with TxDOT for the design, upgrade, and construction of four traffic signals and associated off-system intersection improvements at: Gaston Avenue at Haskell Avenue, Peavy Road at Oates Drive, Lake June Road at Pleasant Drive, and McKinney Avenue at Routh Street that included a required local match in the amount of $360,723.64 ($154,056.96 for direct state costs paid to TxDOT and an estimated $206,666.68 for design) by Resolution No. 24-0267.
Off-System Intersections:
• Gaston Avenue at Haskell Avenue (CSJ No. 0918-47-348), (CD 2, 14)
• Peavy Road at Oates Drive (CSJ No. 0918-47-351), (CD 2)
• Lake June Road at Pleasant Drive (CSJ No. 0918-47-349), (CD 5)
• McKinney Avenue at Routh Street (CSJ No. 0918-47-424), (CD 14)
Due to sharp increases in material costs since the original construction estimates were prepared, primarily in traffic signal poles and concrete, the lowest bid exceeded estimates by $751,825.83.
This action will authorize payment to TxDOT for the cost overrun amount as agreed to in the Advance Funding Agreement.
Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds are eligible within the Qualified Census Tract areas to improve various intersections to promote the safety of all right-of-way users including motorist, cyclists, and pedestrians.
