SUBJECT AGREEMENT WITH TxDOT FOR COST SHARING OF ENGINEERING DESIGN OF
TRINITY BOULEVARD FROM TARRANT COUNTY LINE TO EXISTING TRINITY
BOULEVARD
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement
with the Texas Department of Transportation for the cost sharing of engineering design for the
extension of Trinity Boulevard from its existing terminus to the Tarrant County Line.
DISCUSSION:
The extension of Trinity Boulevard from its present terminus east to Roy Orr Boulevard in the City
of Grand Prairie has been under discussion since 1985. On August 19, 1986 (M&C C-9810), City
Council authorized the design of the Trinity Boulevard bridge over the Railtran tracks. Final plans
for the bridge have been completed for some time; however, the actual construction was
dependent upon financial participation by benefiting property owners on the south side of the
Railtran line. This financial support was not forthcoming and the project was on hold until the
early 1990's.
In November 1991 , Dallas County voters approved county bond funds totaling $1 ,450,000 for
the construction of Trinity Boulevard from the Tarrant County Line east to Roy Orr Boulevard.
In June 1993, a meeting was held involving staff of Grand Prairie, TxDOT, North Texas Council
of Governments, Dallas County and Fort Worth to develop a strategy for completing Trinity
Boulevard between Fort Worth and Grand Prairie. Subsequently, a Memorandum of Agreement
was developed which incorporated actions and responsibilities for the various parties involved.
This agreement was approved by City Council on July 26, 1994 (M&C C-14398).
Staff has recently been informed by North Central Texas Council of Governments staff that
Surface Transportation Program - Metropolitan Mobility (STP-MM) funds have been reserved and
are available for the engineering of this project on the Fort Worth side. Dallas County is
proceeding with the design work from the Tarrant County Line to Roy Orr Boulevard.
TxDOT has now submitted the agreement for engineering design for the project to the City.
Under the agreement, the City of Fort Worth will pay 20% of the design cost with STP-MM
funds providing the remaining 80% of the design costs. This program is part of the 1991
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA).
The agreement allows the City to hire its own consultant to prepare plans, specifications, right-
of-way maps, metes and bounds descriptions, environmental assessment and to hold required
public meetings. Upon execution of the agreement, the City must remit a check to TxDOT in the
