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 and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The McKinney Sidewalk Audra to Loop 288 Project was initiated to address a critical gap in pedestrian
infrastructure along a heavily trafficked corridor with limited sidewalk access. This corridor serves as a
vital connection between residential neighborhoods and major commercial and civic destinations.
Improving pedestrian facilities in this area is critical to enhancing public safety, expanding mobility options,
and strengthening overall community connectivity.
The project received strong support from the Mobility Committee following a presentation of three (3)
design alternatives. The selected option prevailed by majority vote, affirming its alignment with the City’s
strategic objectives for walkability and sustainable urban development.
The scope of work includes the installation of approximately 3,700 linear feet of five-foot-wide sidewalks,
drainage improvements to enhance infrastructure resilience, and the construction of a pedestrian bridge to
ensure safe passage across challenging terrain. These improvements will significantly enhance pedestrian
safety and accessibility along one of the City’s most critical corridors.
On May 7, 2024, City Council awarded a contract to Westwood Professional Services for comprehensive
engineering design services for the McKinney Sidewalk Audra to Loop 288 project. This engagement
includes design development, bid-phase support, and construction oversight, ensuring the project is
delivered with a high level of technical quality, efficiency, and coordination.
The McKinney Sidewalk Audra to Loop 288 project has a total estimated cost of $1,192,800. This estimate
includes a $1,136,000 total base bid amount and a contingency amount of $56,800. A contingency
