Body
BACKGROUND
This action will authorize a construction contract with Tiseo Paving Company for the street reconstruction of Dolphin Road from Spring Avenue to north of Haskell Avenue.
The Dolphin Road from Spring Avenue to north of Haskell Avenue Project is a partnership project between the City of Dallas and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The City is the lead agency responsible for administering the design and construction of the project. The project scope will include the reconstruction of the existing four lane undivided roadway to a four lane divided roadway with concrete pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, crosswalks, drive approaches, drainage system, water and wastewater main, traffic signal, signage, pavement markings, and lighting improvements. The total estimated construction cost of the project is $6,800,664.75, of which $1,840,000.00 is to be reimbursed by federal funds through TxDOT; and the remaining $4,960,664.75 is to be funded by the City of Dallas ($1,412,172.85 by Dallas Water Utilities and $3,548,491.90 by the 2017 Bond Program). The City will be responsible for any cost overruns.
This project is needed to reduce traffic congestion, eliminate cut-through traffic into the neighborhood, and improve pedestrian safety, by providing traffic signal improvements, and creating a median with refuge islands and a Hawk signal.
If this construction contract is not approved 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 this project without federal funding. If the project is not constructed, the City will be required to pay back the federal funds that have already been expended.
Tiseo Paving Company has done business with the City of Dallas in the past. However, they do not have an office operating within the corporate city limits of Dallas, Texas.
