DATE: April 11, 2016

FROM: Robert Kopp, Director of Public Works
Title
Consider A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Execute A Project Specific Agreement With Dallas County Road And Bridge District #4 For A Mill And Overlay Of The 1000 Through 1800 Blocks Of North Josey Lane In An Amount Not To Exceed $387,744.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This agenda item is to consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the project specific agreement (PSA) approved by City Council’s on March 22, 2016. Dallas County requires a resolution in order to execute the PSA.
Under an existing Master Interlocal Agreement, the Dallas County Public Works Department provides road and bridge maintenance and repair on “Type E” roadways situated within the City. This has proven to be an economical arrangement when compared to the costs for a private contractor.
This proposed project will resurface the 1000 through 1800 blocks of North Josey Lane. Traffic control is provided for in the agreement by Dallas County and the city will provide message boards as necessary to notify the public.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Dallas County Public Works estimates the project cost to be $387,744. Since this street classification does not include financial participation by Dallas County, the city of Carrollton will fund 100% of the costs. Funding is available from the Streets Capital Projects Account.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
• Sustaining quality of life - Infrastructure improvements should enhance the overall appearance of the area, thereby encouraging property owners to invest in the upkeep of their properties.
• Sustaining day-to-day operations - Dallas County’s lower costs make this a beneficial arrangement for the city. Also, the repair of substandard street pavement will reduce the need for non-scheduled repairs and will extend the life of the street before reconstruction.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends City Council approval of the attached resolution executing a Project Specific Agreement (PSA) with Dallas County to perform an asphalt overlay for the 1000 through 1800 blocks of North Josey Lane, in an amount not to exceed $387,744.00. The PSA was approved by City Council on March 22, 2016.
