AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Procurement
ACM: Christine Taylor
DATE: March 4, 2025
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 HDR Engineering, Inc.,
for the design of traffic signals at the intersections of East McKinney Street and North Wood Street, and
West Hickory Street and Welch Street as set forth in the contract; providing for the expenditure of funds
therefor; and providing an effective date (RFQ 8377-005 – Professional Services Agreement for design
services awarded to HDR Engineering, Inc., in the not-to-exceed amount of $99,500.50).
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Areas: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility and Support Healthy and Safe
Communities.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Traffic Operations has a programmed budget to build or upgrade up to three traffic signals every year
throughout the City of Denton. The traffic operations staff has identified the two intersections as candidates
for a traffic signal infrastructure upgrade based on their historical safety and the age of the infrastructure.
The two selected intersections are currently operated on a temporary span wire structure with outdated
cabinets and detection camera technology. Due to the temporary nature, the infrastructure at these two
locations needs a full rebuild with new permanent poles, mast arms, detection cameras, battery backup,
cabinet, and controllers. The current estimated cost includes the signal design for two intersections. The
traffic operations department has fully funded this project.
Request for Qualifications for architectural firms for professional engineering services for various vertical
capital infrastructure-related projects within the City of Denton for the Capital Projects Department was
solicited using the City’s formal solicitation process. City Council approved a pre-qualified list of
professional service firms on February 20, 2024 (Ordinance 24-276).
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On February 20, 2024, City Council approved RFQ 8377 for state-certified engineers for professional
engineering services for various capital infrastructure-related projects within the City of Denton for the
Capital Improvements Department (Ordinance 24-276).
