SOUTHLAKE
MEMORANDUM
Dec 4, 2018
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Rob Cohen, Director of Public Works
Item 4E
Subject: Approve Local Project Advance Funding Agreement
(LPAFA) with the Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) for the construction of eastbound and
westbound frontage roads along SH 114 in the amount
of $3,000,000.
Action
Requested: Approve Local Project Advance Funding Agreement (LPAFA)
with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for the
construction of eastbound and westbound frontage roads along
SH 114 in the amount of $3,000,000.
Background
Information: The completion of the expansion of SH 114 in 2004 did not
include the construction of frontage roads between Dove
Road and Kirkwood Boulevard. Currently, westbound drivers
who proceed on the frontage road from the Dove Road and
SH 114 intersection must re-enter the highway before being
allowed to exit again at Kirkwood Boulevard.
Regional growth in recent years has increased usage of SH
114 as a key east -west connector. Additionally, with the
recent approval of the TD Ameritrade development as well
as the renovations to the Solana development and
particularly the expansion and addition of a parking garage
at 1000 West Kirkwood Boulevard which is intended to
increase the building's capacity, the need for capacity
improvements such as the completion of the frontage roads
has become more pressing. The lack of a frontage road
along this portion of SH 114 represents a critical missing
element of mobility infrastructure in the City of Southlake.
In April 2016, the City contracted with Mr. Jerry Hodge of
Hodge and Associates and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
to manage and perform pre -construction activities necessary
to construct the frontage roads on SH 114 between Dove
Road and Kirkwood Boulevard.
Financial
Considerations: Funding for this agreement was approved as part of the current
and previous year CIP budgets for both the General Fund and
CEDC Fund.
Strategic Link: This project links to the City's strategy map relative to focus
areas of Infrastructure, Mobility and Quality Development. The
specific corporate objectives that are met by this mobility project
are (C2) to provide travel convenience within the City & region
and (F2) to invest to provide and maintain high quality public
assets. The critical business outcome is to (C13O2) enhance
mobility through aggressive traffic management initiatives and
capital project implementation.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: TxDOT did not receive any negative feedback during the public
meeting held on October 23, 2018.
Legal Review: The proposed LPAFA was reviewed by the City Attorney.
Alternatives: Do not approve agreement and elect not to move forward with
project.
