standards by reducing traffic congestion

(City Secretary Contract No 20665) and increases the maximum project limit to $3,160,000 by adding
$1,000,000 This agreement will allow TxDOT to participate by providing 80% ($800,000) of the total
cost, while the City will be required to provide 20% ($200,000)
This Supplemental Agreement will allow staff to expand the City's traffic signal system to include more
signalized systems, fund staff time to prepare and implement more coordinated traffic signal timing
plans, fund the purchase of equipment for the Traffic Management Center, and fund traffic signal
modifications and intersection reconstruction Exhibit II, which is attached, describes this project in
