The city limit line with Grapevine is north of Shady Lane along the Kimball Avenue centerline. The project was divided into two phases during design. Phase 1, within the city of Southlake, was determined to be from SH 114 to north of Kirkwood Boulevard. With the construction of the school on Kirkwood Boulevard, the city elected to extend Phase 1 to include the East Highland Street intersection. Phase 2, from north of East Highland Street to Dove Road, would have been constructed at some future date. 6 Kimley-Horn has prepared 95% plans for Phase 1, from SH 114 to north of Kirkwood Boulevard. They also prepared 95% plans for the extended Phase 1, from SH 114 to north of Kirkwood Boulevard. Subsequent to that submittal, Grapevine requested the entire project be constructed from SH 114 to Dove Road without phasing and will participate in funding their portion. This amendment for design provides the services required for construction of the entire project. 8 The project schedule is as follows.
