STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Innovative Transportation Solutions, Inc. (ITS) has provided the City of Denton with quality transportation
consultant services since 2002. ITS has been able to identify and produce many opportunities to leverage
municipal funds with county, regional, state, and federal funds to advance transportation infrastructure
projects throughout the City of Denton and Denton County improving mobility for Denton residents.
ITS provides a unique service to the City of Denton and the continued use of ITS services is integral to the
development of future transportation infrastructure for the City of Denton. It is expected this contract will
result in an overall savings of tax dollars above and beyond the expenditure for these services. ITS was
integral in assisting the City of Denton in securing over 50 million dollars in funding as a part of the County
2023 TRIP bond. ITS’s extensive knowledge regarding State and regional funding opportunities will be
extremely important over the course of the proposed contract as the Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) develops a procurement method for implementing Phase II of the 35 Express project, Loop 288
West project, and facilitating funding for the proposed FM 1515/Airport Road widening project.
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for professional surveying services was sent to 838 prospective firms,
including 31 Denton firms, for these services. In addition, the RFQ was placed on the Procurement website
for prospective respondents to download, and advertised in the local newspaper. Three (3) statements of
qualifications (SOQ) were received. The SOQs were evaluated based on published criteria including
identification and understanding of the City’s requirements, past performance and experience, experience
with specific issues of the project, qualifications of key personnel, creativity and thoroughness of proposed
approach and/or methodology to providing services, and availability and dedication to the city of Denton

Inc., and is determined to be the most qualified firm for the City.
