Item 4BItem 413 CITY OF SOUTHLAKE MEMORANDUM (October 1, 2013) To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Director of Public Works Subject: Renew an Interlocal Agreement with Tarrant County for the construction of State Highway 114 Texas Turnaround at North Carroll Avenue and the provision of County funds for construction in the amount of $250,000 Action Requested: Renew an Interlocal Agreement with Tarrant County for the construction of State Highway 114 Texas Turnaround at North Carroll Avenue and the provision of County funds for construction in the amount of $250,000. Background Information: On October 2, 2012, the Southlake City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding between Gateway Church, Cooper and Stebbins, Inc., Tarrant County and the City establishing a methodology for constructing a much needed Texas Turnaround on the east side of N. Carroll Avenue. The DFW Connector project originally anticipated the inclusion of a direct ramp connection between SH 114 and FM 1709, otherwise known as Southlake Blvd. Due to cost constraints, the aforementioned ramp was deleted from the project. This ramp was projected to provide primary access to much of Southlake's retail district. While access to the retail district of Southlake, adjacent to SH 114 is still possible through exits provided on westbound SH 114, it is now projected that a larger amount of traffic accessing the retail district located between Kimball Avenue and Carroll Avenue, including the Town Square development will utilize the Carroll Avenue interchange. The additional projected traffic will place additional stress on the capacity provided in the Carroll Avenue/SH 114 intersection. A "grade separated" Texas Turnaround located on the east side of the Carroll Avenue/SH 114 intersection bridge has been identified as a solution to addressing the additional traffic volume. Gateway Church, Cooper and Stebbins, Inc. (the developer of Southlake Town Square), Tarrant County, the City of Southlake and TxDOT have come to an understanding that this project is of a significant importance to both the adjacent major property owners, the City, the County and the State. This Interlocal Agreement (ILA) is an agreement between the City and the County required by the County for the expenditure of Tarrant County Bond Funds. The anticipated project cost is $2,000,000 with $900,000 of the construction cost being provided by state funds. Per the proposed Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the other three parties, the city of Southlake as well as the other three parties are responsible for the anticipated cost of $250,000 each. In addition, Southlake has committed $100,000 toward lighting and aesthetic improvements in this project. Furthermore, the City of Southlake is representing the consortium in the Local Project Advance Funding Agreement with TxDOT. The City Council approved an interlocal Agreement with Tarrant County for this project on May 21, 2013. This item is a renewal of that same interlocal agreement. Financial Considerations: The renewal of this Interlocal Agreement (ILA) establishes a commitment of $250,000 toward the planning, design and construction of the SH114 turnaround located on the east side of the Carroll Avenue interchange for the county. An equal financial and/or in -kind services commitment is made by the remaining three parties to the agreement. It is also anticipated that state funds in the amount of $900,000 will be made available for the construction of the project. The cost of the project is estimated at $2,000,000. The City Council authorized $100,000 for the SH114 Texas Turnaround project in the FY 2012 Capital Improvement Project budget. Additional funds to meet the city's commitment of $250,000 plus aesthetics estimated not to exceed $100,000 toward this project are available from funds authorized in the adopted FY 2013 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budget for the Traffic Signal at Watermere and FM 1709 Improvement Project. Council adopted the proposed FY 2013 CIP budget with an amendment to utilize Red Light Camera funds for the construction of the proposed signal in lieu of General Fund dollars as originally proposed by staff. In addition, the funds committed by the County will be carried by the city during the construction and reimbursed by the County post construction. Strategic Link: The construction of a turnaround bridge located on the east side of N. Carroll Avenue provided for under this Interlocal Agreement links to the City's strategy map relative to the focus areas of Mobility, Infrastructure, and Partnerships. The specific corporate objectives that are met by this construction project include: providing travel convenience throughout the city and region, collaborating with select partners to implement service solutions, and investing to provide and maintain high quality public assets. Citizen Input/ Board Review: N/A Legal Review: This is the standard Tarrant County Interlocal Agreement required for county participation in a project. This is a renewal of the Interlocal Agreement that was approved on May 21, 2013. Alternatives: The City Council may approve or deny the agreement.
