Title
Consider A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into Interlocal Cooperation Agreements With Denton County For The Reconstruction Of Frankford Road Between Old Denton Road and Standridge Drive In An Amount Not To Exceed $3,250,000.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
In November 2022, Denton County’s Transportation Road Improvement Program - 2022 (“TRIP-22”) was passed by the voters. The program will fund more than 119 projects in more than 32 municipalities and unincorporated areas. The project list includes state highways, local arterial within cities, safety improvements, and county roads and bridges. The City of Carrollton had three overall projects selected with multiple phases of each project: Hebron Parkway, Frankford Road, and the EB Frankford Road Bridge.
Frankford Road was included in the 2022 Denton County bond with a total amount of $7,875,000. Council approved the initial ILA with Denton County for Frankford Road from Commodore Drive to Eisenhower Street on November 21, 2023.
Council approved the design contract for Frankford Road on January 9, 2024 and it is approximately 60% designed.
This interlocal cooperation agreement (ICA) provides funding for the reconstruction of Frankford Road between Commodore Drive and Eisenhower Street, which is scheduled to begin design in 2024. The total cost for design, construction and associated costs is estimated at $6.5 million.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Under the terms of the ICA, Denton County will provide up to $3,250,000 for this section of Frankford Road. Any additional costs beyond the scope of the ICA will come from City funds via the Streets Consolidated Account.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
These projects will contribute to community sustainability by:
Sustaining quality of life - The replacement of substandard street pavement on Frankford Road will increase mobility and reduce traffic issues.
Sustaining day-to-day operations - The replacement of substandard street pavement should reduce the need for non-scheduled or emergency repairs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into this Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with Denton County in an amount not to exceed $3,250,000.
