SUBJECT
Title
Authorize Amendment No. 1 to the Advance Funding Agreement (Agreement No. CSJ 0918-47-374, Assistance Listing No. 20.205) between the City of Dallas and the Texas Department of Transportation for the reconstruction and upgrade of signals/equipment and construction of pedestrian improvements at seven intersections along Lemmon Avenue to (1) add the location of Lemmon Avenue at Wycliff Avenue; (2) remove the location of Lemmon Avenue at North Central Expressway (US 75); and (3) revise the location map - Financing: No cost consideration to the City
Body
BACKGROUND
The City of Dallas and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) executed a contract on March 21, 2023, to effectuate their agreement for the reconstruction and upgrade of signals/equipment and construction of pedestrian improvements at the following seven intersections: Lemmon Avenue and Manor Way; Lemmon Avenue and Haggar Way; Lemmon Avenue and Inwood Road; Lemmon Avenue and Hudnall Street; Lemmon Avenue and Lomo Alto Drive; Lemmon Avenue and Turtle Creek Boulevard; and Lemmon Avenue and North Central Expressway (US 75).
The agreement inadvertently included the intersection of Lemmon Avenue and North Central Expressway (US 75) and excluded the intersection of Lemmon Avenue and Wycliff Avenue. The traffic signal upgrade at Lemmon Avenue and North Central Expressway (US 75) is being implemented by TxDOT through a different funding program, deeming it necessary to amend the agreement to revise the project locations.
If approved, this action will authorize an amendment to the agreement to add the location of Lemmon Avenue at Wycliff Avenue, to remove the location of Lemmon Avenue at North Central Expressway (US 75), and to revise the location map to reflect the changes.
Attachment A, Location Map Showing Project, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with Attachment A-1, Location Map Showing Project, which is attached to and made part of this amendment.
All other provisions of the original contract are unchanged and remain in full force and effect.
