Body
BACKGROUND
The City of Dallas was awarded a grant of $2.8 million from the 2022 Highway Safety Improvement Program administered by TxDOT to complete traffic signal improvements at 6 locations. Upgrades may include visor replacements on traffic signal heads; removal of existing traffic signals and replacing them with new traffic signals; pedestrian and Americans with Disabilities Act improvements; and other related construction.
The City is responsible for the design of the traffic signals with an estimated cost burden of $210,000.00 and is responsible for 100 percent of the direct state cost to be paid to TxDOT in the amount of $160,267.49. TxDOT is responsible for bidding the construction package, administering the federal funds for construction in an estimated amount of $2,788,567.90, and contributing construction and indirect state cost in an estimated amount of $371,618.79. The total estimated project cost is $3,530,454.18. Although it is not anticipated, the City may be responsible for cost associated with utilities, environmental assessment and mitigation, architectural and engineering services, and right-of-way and real property if TxDOT determines that the specific work is necessary for successful completion of the project.

• Interstate Highway (IH) 635 from TI Boulevard to IH-35E (CSJ 2374-01-196) (visor replacements only)

This action will authorize local participation in the amount of $160,267.49 to be disbursed to TxDOT.
