body

BACKGROUND

 

On July 6, 2021, the City of Dallas and Dallas County entered into a Master Agreement by Commissioners Court Order 2021-0697 for the purpose of transportation improvements on roads inside Dallas County. The City wishes to enter into a Project Specific Agreement (PSA) with Dallas County for the purpose of constructing transportation improvements on Dynamic Message Sign Board, MCIP Project No. 30251, Fair Park Area (“Project”) to improve multi-modal mobility, safety, and connectivity to Baylor Scott and White's facility and transit facilities; and the City has requested that it be designated as the Lead Agency for the Project and will provide the Project Manager.

 

This PSA for the Dynamic Message Sign Board project will upgrade Dynamic Message sign boards with associated work in the Fair Park Area to improve multi-modal mobility, safety, and connectivity. This Project will facilitate the movement of public transportation to benefit both the City and Dallas County.

 

The total Project cost estimate is $3,040,000.00 for design and construction with the City of Dallas’ portion being $2,540,000.00. A contract for the construction and completion of the Project will be placed on a future City Council Agenda for consideration.

 

 

 

This PSA is to specifically identify the Project changes in the rights and responsibilities of each party as set forth in the Master Agreement. This PSA will be an addition to the Master Agreement and incorporate each of its terms and conditions. All terms of the Master Agreement remain in full force and effect except as modified by the PSA. In the event of any conflict between the Master Agreement and the PSA, the PSA will control specifically to the Project.

 

Chapter 791 of The Texas Government Code and Chapters 251 and 472 of the Texas Transportation Code provide authorization for local governments to contract with each other for the performance of governmental functions and services, as well as joint funding of road construction or improvements of road or street projects.

 

If approved, this action will authorize the appropriation and disbursement of funds for the City of Dallas’ portion of the Project costs.
