FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: APRIL 5, 2022
SUBJECT: AWARD OF EULESS-GRAPEVINE ROAD EXPANSION PROJECT AND
APPROPRIATE FUNDING
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider acceptance of the Texas Department of
Transportation grant for the design of the expansion of Euless -Grapevine
Road, an ordinance appropriating funds, and award the design of the
Euless -Grapevine Road expansion to LJA Engineering, Inc. based upon
TxDOT concurrence.
FUNDING SOURCE: Upon approval of the above recommendation, funds will be available in
the Capital Projects Streets Fund in an estimated amount $328,000.
BACKGROUND: On August 31, 2018, staff submitted eight candidate projects related to
the Metropolitan Transportation Plan Policy Bundle to the North Central
Texas Council of Governments' (NCTCOG) call for projects including the
design of the expansion of Euless -Grapevine Road from State Highway
360 southbound service road to 150' (from two to four lanes) south of
Hughes Road including a new traffic signal at the intersection with State
Highway 360 southbound service road. This project includes roadway
alignment design, extension of the sidewalk under State Highway 360 and
south of Hughes Road to connect existing walk, traffic signal design and
on -street and off-street bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
Construction costs were awarded for this project in the NCTCOG FY2021-
2024 Transportation Improvement Program, in the amount of $2,006,800.
If the construction cost were to go over, the City would be responsible for
the balance of the cost over the grant.
City staff went through a competitive selection process and is
recommending LJA Engineering for this project. The engineering contract,
including a 10% contingency, is $328,000. The federal grant provides
$224,560 for the design leaving $103,440 to be funded by the City.
Staff recommends approval.
