COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 4/4/2017 - Resolution No. 4765-04-2017
DATE: Tuesday, April 4, 2017 REFERENCE NO.: **C-28167
LOG NAME: 20FIBER LIGHTING
SUBJECT:
Adopt Resolution Authorizing Execution of Amendment No. 1 to the Funding Agreement with the Texas
Department of Transportation, City Secretary Contract No. 47636, in the Amount of$1,000,000.00 for
Construction, Installation and Maintenance of a Continuous Lighting System in the IH-35W Corridor from
Downtown to Denton County Line and Authorize Payment to the Texas Department of Transportation in the
Amount of$1,000,000.00 (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2, 4, 7, 8 and 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the execution Amendment No. 1 to the Advance Funding
Agreement in the amount of$1,000,000.00 with the Texas Department of Transportation for construction,
installation and maintenance of a continuous lighting system in the IH-35W Corridor from downtown to
Denton County Line; and
2. Authorize a payment to the Texas Department of Transportation in the amount of$1,000,000.00 in
accordance with the amended Advance Funding Agreement (City Project No. 100557).
DISCUSSION:
In conjunction with the freeway improvements along IH 35W corridor, Staff has been working with TxDOT
to provide freeway lighting throughout the corridor from downtown to the Denton County Line. Continuous
freeway lighting is typically the responsibility of the local municipality which has been the case of lighting
along IH 35W from downtown to IH 820. This amendment will provide continuous freeway lighting from
downtown to the Denton County line, and includes operations through August of 2061, a 44 year time
period. A one-time single lump sum payment to TxDOT of$1,000,000.00 will cover all City costs
associated with this freeway lighting - allowing North Tarrant Express to perform these services. This
Agreement offers significant savings as compared to our typical Agreements with TxDOT where the City
performs the maintenance.
On January 26, 2016, (M&C C-27606)the City Council authorized an Advance Funding Agreement with
the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)to provide a shared communication system from IH-30
to the Denton County Line in the IH-35 corridor. Staff is recommending this amendment to the original
Advance Funding Agreement to provide additional funding for the continuous lighting system project.
Funding for the Agreement is included in FY2017 PayGo appropriations.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher
education: TxDOT.
