DATE: June 16, 2026
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the approval of a first amendment to a Professional Services Agreement between the City of
Denton and Innovative Transportation Solutions, Inc., amending the contract approved by City Council on
May 2, 2023, in the not-to-exceed amount of $630,000.00; said first amendment to continue to provide
additional transportation consulting services for the Development Services Department; providing for the
expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (RFQ 8179 – providing for an additional first
amendment expenditure amount not-to-exceed $108,000.00, with the total contract amount not-to-exceed

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Innovative Transportation Solutions, Inc. (ITS) has provided transportation consulting services to the City
of Denton since 2002, supporting various Capital Projects Department initiatives and assisting the City in
leveraging municipal funds with county, regional, state, and federal sources. Their work has contributed to
securing significant outside funding and advancing major mobility projects throughout the City.
The current contract rate has remained unchanged for 16 years. During that time, both the nature and volume
of work performed by ITS have substantially increased. In addition, the technical expertise and
responsibilities of ITS staff have evolved, warranting an update to their hourly rates to reflect their current
qualifications and the professional market.
This First Amendment updates the annual fee to:
• Account for the increased workload delivered under the existing agreement
• Align ITS’s hourly rates with the experience and skill sets of their current team
• Ensure continued access to specialized transportation funding, planning, and coordination services
necessary for ongoing City infrastructure initiatives
Continuing the contract with ITS ensures that the City of Denton retains a high-level strategic advocate
with a demonstrated ability to secure funding for the City. ITS’s relationships with TxDOT and NCTCOG
protect the City’s long-term interests in a highly competitive regional environment and provide Staff with
a resource to help coordinate on larger regional projects.
