RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of a construction contract for the intersection
improvements at Hulen Street and Granbury Road, which will include the reconstruction of approximately 500 linear feet of roadway in all directions
from the intersection. The major items of work consist of new traffic signals, new street lighting, widening the intersection to construct double left
turn lanes in most directions and a dedicated right turn lane at the northbound approach of South Hulen Street. Selective concrete panel
replacement on the approaches to the railroad crossing on South Hulen will also take place. Construction is anticipated to start February 2021.
This project is included in the 2018 Bond Program. The 2016 estimated planning budget was overestimated by about $2,000,000 with the
construction cost being the largest overestimate. Available resources within the General Fund will be used to provide interim financing until debt is
issued. Once debt associated with the project is sold, bond proceeds will reimburse the General Fund in accordance with the statement
expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance No. 23209-05-2018)
and subsequent actions taken by the Mayor and Council. Appropriations for Hulen Street at Granbury Road Intersection Improvements project are
