AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Procurement
ACM: Christine Taylor
DATE: April 21, 2026
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Albatross Construction LLC, for the US 380 Street
Lighting Improvements Project for the Capital Projects Department; providing for the expenditure of funds
therefor; and providing an effective date (IFB 8936 – awarded to Albatross Construction LLC, in the not-
to-exceed amount of $3,502,799.99).
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The goal of this project is to improve street lighting along US-380/University Drive from I-35E to Mayhill,
enhancing safety and implementing new lighting standards set by Denton Municipal Electric (DME), as
well as meeting the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) requirements, as US-380 is a State
roadway.
Engineering staff conducted a preliminary analysis, determining a high level of cost to install continuous
street lights along the corridor, and presented the results to Council. City Council then directed staff to take
the next steps of hiring an engineering consulting firm to conduct a feasibility and photometric study for
the corridor. Those findings were presented to Council, and the project was chosen to be included in the
2019 Bond program - Street Lighting - for voter consideration.
The US 380 Lighting Project has a total estimated cost of $3,502,799.99. This estimate includes a
$3,335,999.99 total base bid amount and a contingency of $166,800. A contingency allowance, if any, is
for the sole use of the City and will be subject to written authorization by the City’s Project Manager and
Program Manager.
Invitation for Bids was sent to 1,240 prospective suppliers, including 74 Denton firms. In addition,
specifications were placed on the Procurement website for prospective suppliers to download, and
advertised in the local newspaper. Five (5) bids meeting specifications were received. The lowest bid was
received by Albatross Construction LLC.
