I DISCUSSION: The Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Contract Street Maintenance program includes funds for interlocal agreements. Tarrant County is currently working with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on three signal installation projects along Business 287, north of the City of Saginaw. TxDOT's signal projects are expected to let in September 2008 with actual construction following late this year. One of these locations is at the intersection of Old Decatur Road and Business 287. The skewed nature of the current Old Decatur and Business 287 intersection has contributed to several accidents including one fatality.As a result, TxDOT is requiring relocation of this intersection prior to signal installation in order to provide a safer connection. The location of the relocated intersection is at Business 287 and the future Heritage Trace Parkway as depicted on the City of Fort Worth Master Thoroughfare Plan (MTP). i Since this location is within the City of Fort Worth and the project is being led by Tarrant County, an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) is necessary for the construction of this realigned intersection. Under the ILA, Tarrant County, at its sole cost and expense, agrees to furnish the labor and equipment necessary for the construction of the portion of Heritage Trace Parkway from Old Decatur Road to Business 287, including relocation of the current intersection of Old Decatur Road with Business 287, located in the City of Fort Worth. The City of Fort Worth agrees to furnish all necessary materials for the project, including fencing. However, under the ILA the City of Fort Worth's total contribution for materials will not exceed $40,000.00, unless amended. Upon completion, the City of Fort Worth shall be responsible for maintenance of the project i within the City limits. f This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
