DATE April 15, 2015

FROM: Robert Kopp, Director of Public Works
Title
Consider Authorizing The City Manager To Approve A Project Specific Agreement (PSA) With Dallas County Road And Bridge District #4 For A Street Mill And Overlay Of The 1000 Through 1200 Blocks Of West Alan Avenue And The 1000 Through 1200 Blocks Of West Russell Avenue In An Amount Not To Exceed $105,757.52.
Body
BACKGROUND:
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 of Carrollton. 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 1200 blocks of West Alan Avenue and the 1000 through 1200 blocks of West Russell Avenue. 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 $105,757.52. 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 Account Unit 854460, Account 68210, Activity 114380499 bond revenue.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
