| | | | | | | | | PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: | On February 27, 2018, City Council adopted a Resolution approving the terms and conditions of a Local Project Advance Funding Agreement (LPAFA) with The State of Texas acting by and through The Texas Department of Transportation for the US 75 Roundabout Project.

|
| | | | | | | | | ACTION PROPOSED: | Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Design Contract with Huitt-Zollars, Inc. in the Amount of $389,400 for the Allen Drive Gateway Project. |
|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
For years, it has been a strategic initiative to provide a gateway, monument, or other aesthetic improvement to the US75 corridor that announces and establishes the community identity along the US75 corridor. Over $500,000 in Governor's Achievement Award funds (from two separate awards) has been set-aside for this initiative. Initially, progress had been delayed by the US75 Widening Project three-year construction activity. Now, with the schematic design phase nearly complete, it is appropriate to begin detailed design drawings in preparation for bidding.
This scope of work would be to extend the schematic level design and provide full plans, specifications and cost-estimate for the project and will include coordination with TxDOT and franchise utilities. Since this project lies within the TxDOT right-of-way, the state agency has final approval authority over the final plans.
