DISCUSSION:
Litsey Road from Independence Parkway to Gibbs Road is a major arterial on the City's Master
Thoroughfare Plan and through this project it will be widened from two-lanes to four-lanes. The one lane
bridge on this section of Litsey Road was closed in April 2007 due to severe deterioration (M&C G-15671,
April 10, 2007). The bridge has recently been reconstructed to four lanes with a temporary two-lane
approach roadway by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) under agreement with Denton
County. The City's participation in this overall improvement effort with Denton County is to provide the
permanent roadway through construction of a four-lane facility (M&C C-22445, October 16, 2007).
The attached resolution authorizes a funding agreement with TxDOT in the amount of$8,000,000.00 that
includes $6,400,000.00 in the Federal funds and $1,600,000.00 in City local match funds. Funding for the
local match is available in the 2008 Street Improvement Fund. In addition, an engineering services
agreement is included with Halff Associates, Inc., in the amount of$358,700.00 for design and
construction support services.
