RECOMMENDATION

with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for the implementation of Phase 2.0 of the

DISCUSSION
On August 30 2005 Council authorized the payment for professional services and data collection local
match under TAP Phase 2.0 TAP is a multi-phased program that the North Central Council of
Governments (NCTCOG) staff is implementing to improve air quality through traffic signal retiming and
minor traffic signal operational improvements. Phase 2 0 includes developing new traffic signal timing plans
for East Belknap Street, Camp Bowie West Boulevard Alta Mere Boulevard and Bryant Irvin Boulevard
The new timing plans were completed by the consultant team this past October However in order to
complete the operational improvements recommended by the consultant team a LPAFA with TxDOT must
be executed This LPAFA will establish the agreement for City staff to acquire equipment such as GPS
clocks new controller cabinets etc.
Although the City's local match share for equipment is only $8,231 00 TxDOT requires a resolution for
inclusion in the agreement. Once TxDOT has accepted and executed the agreement, staff will begin final
implementation of the operational improvements as recommended in the consultant's final report.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated of the
Light & Signal Improvements Funds.
