RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution authorizing execution of a Local Transportation Project Advance Funding
Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation in the amount of $146,000.00 including
$29,200.00 in City local matching funds for design and construction, for the purchase and installation of
Traffic Signal Communication Equipment for the Regional Traffic Signal Retiming Project; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Capital Projects Fund for a total amount of $116,800.00.
DISCUSSION:
On January 27, 2015, the City Council approved an Inter-local Agreement with NCTCOG (M&C G-18397)
for signal retiming along nine arterial corridors as part of the Regional Traffic Signal Retiming
Project. Unfortunately, due to lack of communication equipment at some of these signalized intersections
and inability to keep the internal clocks from drifting, there has been a loss of synchronization along some
of these corridors. NCTCOG is providing additional funding for the purpose of procuring and installing the
needed communication software/hardware to the deficient units so that the synchronization improvements
along these arterials will function as intended.

The Funding Agreement includes $29,200.00 in City local matching funds for design and
construction. Additionally, there will be independent City costs in the amount of $30,800.00 for project
management and inspection and testing separate from the Funding Agreement to minimize State
charges. The table below itemizes the City's matching and independent costs for this project. The total
project cost is $176,800.00.
