Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure, Safety, and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The City of Denton, in coordination with the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG),
identified two (2) project locations as priority candidates for infrastructure improvements based on
historical mobility and safety needs within the city. In September 2024, the City submitted these projects
for consideration and was subsequently awarded construction funding in August 2025 through the
NCTCOG Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) program.
The proposed project includes the addition of a new travel lane, creating a fully built-out four-lane
roadway with medians, a sidepath, and other safety-focused facilities from US 380 to Jim Christal
Boulevard. The current cost estimate includes full design and survey services.
Construction costs will be funded primarily through the NCTCOG STBG program, which covers 80% of
the construction cost estimated at $4,768,000. The City will be responsible for the design phase cost of
$588,451, and 20% of the required construction match, and any additional cost overruns.
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).
