Action
Requested: Approve a renewal and amendment to an Interlocal Agreement (ILA)
with Tarrant County to receive financial support and reimbursement
of up to $2,225,000 for the West Continental Boulevard projects at
Davis Boulevard and South Peytonville Avenue.
Background
Information: The purpose of this item is to approve a renewal and amendment to
an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with Tarrant County to receive
financial support and reimbursement of up to $2,225,000 for the
cooperative funding of improvements at the two intersection
locations along West Continental Boulevard at Davis Boulevard (FM
1938) and South Peytonville Avenue. The proposed improvements
are intended to improve mobility efficiency by alleviating traffic
backups at West Continental Boulevard intersections during peak
hours. The improvements on FM 1938 at West Continental Blvd
include adding a right turn lane, signalization, pedestrian
enhancements, and an upgrade of Critical Drainage Structure #18 at
Union Church Road. Improvements to the South Peytonville Avenue
intersection includes the construction of a roundabout at the
intersection, utility and pedestrian relocations, and upgrade to
Critical Drainage Structure #19 west of the intersection.
This is Renewal and Amendment No. 1 of the ILA and is required on
an annual basis until the projects are completed. The County
allocated funds as part of their 2021 Tarrant County Transportation
Bond Program for a cost share arrangement with the City and City
Council approved the original ILA on December 6, 2022. The
resources provided by the County results in a cost savings for the
City. Funding is budgeted as part of the approved Capital

Improvement Program. Construction is anticipated to begin Fall
2024.
These projects were identified in the Southlake 2035 Mobility Master
Plan with the FM 1938 at West Continental Boulevard project
referenced as MT25, and the Continental Boulevard at South
Peytonville Avenue project referenced as MT3. Proposed sidewalks
were also identified in the 2035 Mobility Master Plan (ID #7 and ID
#76a), and will be constructed in conjunction with the FM 1938 at
West Continental Boulevard project.
Financial
Considerations: The County allocated funds as part of their 2021 Tarrant County
Transportation Bond Program for a cost share arrangement with the
City. The terms of the ILA, the County will reimburse the City for up
to $2,225,000 or 50% of the construction cost, whichever is less. The
current opinion of the probable construction cost for the intersections
of FM 1938 at West Continental Boulevard and West Continental
Boulevard at South Peytonville Avenue is currently $5,150,000 and
$4,050,000 respectively. The resources provided by the County
result in cost savings for the City of Southlake.
Funding for this project is budgeted as part of the approved Capital
Improvement Program, as well as Tarrant County funds via the ILA.
