BACKGROUND
body
Medical District Drive from IH 35E to Southwestern Medical Avenue Project is a partnership project between the City of Dallas, Dallas County, and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Dallas County is the lead agency responsible for administering the design and construction of this project. This action will authorize the fourth amendment to the Project Supplemental Agreement with Dallas County for additional paving and drainage improvements on Medical District Drive from IH 35E to Southwestern Medical Avenue and payment to Dallas County for the City’s share of additional project costs for paving and drainage improvements.
The scope of this project is to reconstruct and widen the existing four-lane roadway to a six-lane divided roadway with buffered bike lanes, and landscaping, and to reconstruct and raise the existing Trinity Railway Expressway (TRE) bridge. The project includes paving, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, and drainage improvements. It also includes water main and wastewater main improvements, entailing 2,012 linear feet of 12-inch water main and 66 linear feet of 8-inch wastewater main.
The total project cost is estimated at $28,222,129.00. The funding breakdown per agency is as follows: City of Dallas (Department of Public Works) - $1,863,792.00; Dallas Water Utilities - $498,193.00; Dallas County - $5,162,170.00; TxDOT - $1,321,484.00; and Federal - $19,376,490.00.
If this agreement is not authorized by the City, it will result in delaying payment to Dallas County for the City’s share of additional project cost.
