SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with LJA Engineering, Inc.,
for the design of traffic signal retiming along the corridor of Loop 288 and US 380 as set forth in the
contract; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (RFQ 7292-017–
Professional Services Agreement for design services awarded to LJA Engineering, Inc., in a not-to-exceed
amount of $85,860.00).
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Areas: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility and Support Healthy and Safe
Communities.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
US 380 and Loop 288 are heavily traveled corridors in the city of Denton. The traffic has grown
significantly in the last two (2) to three (3) years and it’s necessitating the need for re-timing the signals
along the US 380 and Loop 288 corridors for throughput, safety, quality of life, and coordination of the
traffic signals. Transportation services selected the project in coordination with the traffic operation staff
for the safety and efficiency of the commute in Denton. Two (2) corridors have been identified as candidates
for traffic signal retiming based on their historical safety and congestion-delay mitigation. The estimated
cost includes the signal retiming and coordination for the corridors. The traffic operations department has
fully funded this project.
Request for Qualifications for professional transportation engineering services was solicited using the
City’s formal solicitation process. City Council approved a pre-qualified list of engineering firms on March
23, 2021 (Ordinance 21-554).
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
