Council Communication
DATE: 12/14/21 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 21-0970
LOG NAME: 202020 EAST ROSEDALE STREET
SUBJECT
(CD 8) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance for the East Rosedale Street Lights Project in the Amount of $100,000.00 for Construction, Project
Management, Inspection and Material Testing and Amend the FY2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program (2014 and 2018 Bond Programs)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting appropriations in the 2018 Bond Program Fund by increasing appropriations in the
East Rosedale Street Lights project (City Project No.102183) in the amount of $100,000.00 and decreasing appropriations in the Street
Lights programmable project (City Project No. PB0005) by the same amount.
2. Amend the FY2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program (2014 and 2018 Bond Program)
DISCUSSION:
The street lights on East Rosedale Street from Interstate Highway (IH) 35W to United States Business Route (US) 287 were installed by the Texas
Department of Transportation (TXDOT) in the roadway medians as a part of East Rosedale corridor reconstruction project in 2015. The City has
maintenance responsibility under existing agreements with TXDOT.
Since the installation of the street lights, the Transportation & Public Works Department (TPW) has recorded multiple street light poles knocked
down along the corridor. To minimize the continuing damage to the street lights, relocation of the street lights from the medians to back of the curb
on North and South sides of the street in an alternating pattern along the corridor was recommended by city staff.
During construction, there were issues related to insufficent identification of all utility conflicts in the design plans for the project. Additional effort
was undertaken by the designer and contractor to implement corrective measures in order to continue the work. The revised plans addressed all
the utility conflicts however, it resulted in an increase in material quantities, additional inspection services and project management. This led to an
increase in the project budget of $100,000.00. Residuals have been identified from the Ridglea Street Lights Improvement project which was
completed on 6/4/2021.
This project is included in the 2014 and 2018 Bond Programs. 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. 24446-
09-2020) and subsequent actions taken by the Mayor and Council.
Funding for this project was not included in the FY2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) because it was not a planned project when the
CIP was created. The action in this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) will amend the FY2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program as
approved in connection with Ordinance 25073-09-2021.
