Description/History
Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, also known as the Inter-local Cooperation Contracts Act, authorizes all local governments to contract with each other to perform governmental functions or services including administrative functions normally associated with the operation of government such as purchasing necessary equipment, supplies and services. South 5th Avenue in this vicinity has exceeded the pavement lifespan. This section of roadway based upon the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is rated at a 19. This index rates pavement condition from 0 (dirt road) to 100 (new pavement). The typical PCI range for a roadway that is beyond its pavement life and needs to be rebuilt is between a rating of 0 and 50. This is one of the lower rated roadways in Mansfield and is proposed due to the truck volumes and the industrial land that has recently developed and is available for development adjacent to the roadway.This Interlocal agreement will allow Tarrant County to furnish the labor and equipment, while the City provides supplies and incidentals necessary to reconstruct S. 5th Avenue as an asphalt roadway with bar ditches. The roadway will be constructed in 6 inches of asphalt and will have a width of 24 feet. This agreement will allow the improvements to be constructed within a budget of $200,000.00. The funds will be from the 2018 Street Bond Fund for Miscellaneous Rebuilds. The County will schedule this construction during the summer.
