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 reconfiguration of the existing two-lane roadway to an improved four-lane roadway with provision of a bike lane and sidewalk along Ewing Avenue from Interstate Highway 35E Northbound Frontage Road to Clarendon Drive, and reconstruction of the existing four-lane roadway along Clarendon Drive from Marsalis Avenue to Upton Drive, Major Capital Improvement Project No. 30252 (“Project”).
The total estimated Project cost is $17,290,934.71 and is being funded from a combination of County and City funding sources, with $2,470,000.00 (less $70,000.00 for in-house project delivery costs) as County participation for construction and $14,820,934.71 as City participation.
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 the Project specifically.
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.
