DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the execution of an agreement with Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) and appropriate funds and increase receipts for maintenance of the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) signals for Fiscal Year 2025 in the amount of $520,503.36. History. In 1987, the Texas Transportation Commission revised the State's policy that permitted the TXDOT district offices to establish a method to reimburse cities with a population of over 50,000 for the installation, operation and maintenance of state-owned traffic signals. On August 3, 1993, the City Council approved M&C C-13942 authorizing the execution of an agreement between TXDOT and the City of Fort Worth (City Secretary Contract No. 19811) for TXDOT to pay a portion of the operation and maintenance costs of state-owned traffic signals within the Fort Worth City limits. Twelve supplemental agreements were executed to reflect additional traffic signal locations, culminating with City Secretary Contract No. 37068. On November 6, 2012, the City Council approved M&C C-25951 authorizing the execution of a new agreement consolidating the previous agreements into one (City Secretary Contract No. 44231). On February 26, 2013, the first supplemental to that agreement was executed to add six traffic signal locations and to revise the annual reimbursement amount to $208,392.00. In May, 2019, the second supplement was executed adding locations and increasing the annual compensation amount to $369,235.32. Texas Department of Transportation is requesting a new Agreement to consolidate the previous contracts into one that will provide for shared costs for 115 signalized intersections throughout the city. Under this Agreement, the State will continue to partially reimburse the City for installation, operation, and maintenance of signalized intersections on State routes inside the corporate limits of the City. The agreement with TXDOT also allows for the City of Fort Worth to seek reimbursement for non -routine repairs made to damaged state-owned traffic signals that result from crashes or acts of God. The amount reimbursed annually for non -routine repairs varies but are typically less than $60,000.00. The Transportation and Public Works Department is responsible for the billing and collection of these funds. A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: Texas Department of Transportation FISCAL INFORMATION ! CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, execution of the contract and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be deposited into the Intergovernmental Contribution Fund as appropriated. The Transportation and Public Works Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to any expense being incurred, the Transportation and Public Works Department also has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. Submitted for City Manager's Office W.
