This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The City of Denton received funding from the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) in 2024
through the Transportation Reinvestment Program (TRiP) grant cycle. The City’s grant application
requested support for planning, design, and construction of mobility enhancements along McKinney Street
from Carroll Blvd. to Woodrow Lane. DCTA approved the project and executed the funding agreement on
March 26, 2025, in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,510,000.00.
The McKinney Street Sidewalk Improvement Project includes the installation of approximately 450 linear
feet of five (5) foot-wide sidewalk along the north side of West McKinney Street from North Elm Street to
Bolivar Street, and approximately 1,100 linear feet of five (5) foot-wide sidewalk along the south side of
East McKinney Street from Frame Street to Bradshaw Street.
To advance the project, the Capital Projects Department utilized the City’s approved RFQ 8377 Pre-
Qualified List for Professional Engineering Services specializing in Roadways/Sidewalks/Bike
Lanes/Intersections/Bridges. A Professional Services Agreement was executed with Kimley-Horn, as the
highest-ranked firm, based on the experience of its traffic study and design team and its continuity with
prior project studies. On April 15, 2026, Purchasing approved the contract between the City and Kimley-
Horn in a total not-to-exceed amount of $99,500.
During a field visit on April 23, 2026, a potential drainage conflict was identified in the project area. To
address this issue, a first amendment is required to expand the project scope. The amendment will provide
