Body
BACKGROUND
The Request for Qualifications (CIZ23-PBW-2099) was issued on March 3, 2023, for the McKinney Avenue/Cole Avenue Two-way Conversion Project. Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. was selected following a qualifications-based selection process in accordance with the City of Dallas procurement guidelines. This action will authorize a professional services contract with Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. to provide engineering design services for the Uptown McKinney Avenue/Cole Avenue Couplet Project.
The Uptown McKinney Avenue/Cole Avenue Couplet Project is a partnership project between the City of Dallas and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to convert McKinney Avenue from Allen Street to Harvard Avenue; Allen Street from McKinney Avenue to Carlisle Street; Carlisle Street from Allen Street to Cole Avenue; and Cole Avenue from Carlisle Street to Harvard Avenue from existing one-way roadways to two-way special three-lane undivided roadways. The project will also relocate the existing trolley tracks/system and provide associated signal, signage, and pedestrian improvements. The City is the lead agency to administer the design and construction of the project.
If this project is not authorized at this time, it will delay the implementation of the project and jeopardize the federal funds that have been allocated. It will be unfeasible for the City to proceed with the project without federal funding participation.
