In response to the advertisement, the Office of Procurement Services received bids from five firms on August 21, 2020.
This action will award a construction contract to RoeschCo Construction, Inc. for the construction of the Trinity Strand Trail - Phase II Project located from the DART Inwood/Love Field Station located at 2720 Inwood Road to Turtle Creek Boulevard. This project was included in the 2012 Bond Program. This project also received Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TASA) funding from North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) in 2017, which is a federally funded grant administered by TxDOT.
The scope of work includes construction of the 12-feet wide multi-use trail from DART Inwood/Love Field Station, south along the DART Rail line, then along Medical District Drive, Inwood Road and Market Center Boulevard, all within existing City of Dallas right-of-way, connecting to the existing Trinity Strand Trail (Phase I) at the intersection of Market Center Boulevard and Turtle Creek Boulevard. In addition to the trail, the project includes new signalization with pedestrian/cycling enhancements at Interstate Highway 35 East and Market Center, Market Center and Inwood Road, Inwood Road and Medical District Drive, Medical District Drive and Gunther, and the two intersections at Inwood Road and the DART Station. NCTCOG awarded the City of Dallas $5,000,000.00 in TASA funding to be used in the construction of the Trinity Strand Trail - Phase II, as a part of the 2017 call for projects.
