Title
Consider A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into An Interlocal Cooperation Agreement With Denton County For The Reconstruction Of Frankford Road Between Commodore Drive and Eisenhower Street In An Amount Not To Exceed $1,500,000.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
In November 2022, Denton County’s Transportation Road Improvement Program - 2022 (TRIP-22) was approved by the voters. This program will fund 119 projects in 32 cities and unincorporated areas. The project list includes state highways, arterial streets within cities, safety improvements and county roads and bridges. The City of Carrollton has three approved projects with multiple phases in each project: Hebron Parkway, Frankford Road and the eastbound Frankford Road Bridge.
This interlocal cooperation agreement provides funding for the reconstruction of Frankford Road between Commodore Drive and Eisenhower Street. Project design is scheduled to begin in 2024. The total cost for design, construction and associated costs is estimated at $3.0 million.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Under the terms of the interlocal agreement Denton County will provide up to $1,500,000 for this section of Frankford Road. Any additional costs beyond the scope of the agreement will come from City funds.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
This project will support the City Council’s strategic objectives and vision of building a community that families and businesses want to call home by:
• Sustaining quality of life - The replacement of substandard street pavement on Frankford Road should improve traffic mobility and safety;
• 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 approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an interlocal cooperation agreement with Denton County in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000.
