Requested Action
Approval of the Resolution.
Recommendation
Approval of the resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter an Interlocal agreement with Tarrant County for street reconstruction of Bristol Drive, Montvale Drive, and Danvers Lane.
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.
On November 12, 2018 Council approved Resolution #3527-18 which authorized an Interlocal agreement with Tarrant County for the reconstruction of Breckenridge Road, Gertie Barrett Road, Bonner Drive and Speers Drive. The reconstruction of Gertie Barrett Road, Bonner Drive and Speers Drive is complete. The County has begun work on Breckenridge Road. In preparation for this rebuild the adjacent streets were inspected for areas of repairs that could be accomplished by Tarrant County. The pavement condition on the roadways of Bristol Drive (Pavement Condition Index of 46), Montvale Drive (Pavement Condition Index ranging from 16 to 39) and Danvers Lane (Pavement Condition Index of 29) are beyond standard maintenance. The recommended pavement treatment for a Pavement Condition Index of 50 or less is reconstruction of the roadway.
With Tarrant County working in the area, the City can take advantage of the timeframe and material cost savings to have Tarrant County perform these reconstructions.
The Interlocal agreements will allow Tarrant County to furnish the labor and equipment, while the City provides supplies and incidentals necessary to reconstruct these asphalt roadways. The estimated cost for reconstruction of Bristol Drive is $33,485.24, Montvale Drive is $50,227.80 and Danvers Lane is $57,015.20. The funding for reconstruction of Montvale Drive will come from cost savings from Tarrant County’s already completed projects that were approved by Resolution #3527-18. Thus, no additional funding is necessary for Montvale Drive. The funding for Bristol Drive and Danvers Lane will be from the Street Operations General Fund. The construction schedule for the reconstruction of these roadways is estimated to be 6 months.
Justification
For several years, the City of Mansfield has entered inter-local agreements with Tarrant County for asphalt street reconstruction. These interlocal agreements have allowed the City to save money by not having to pay for the equipment or labor necessary for the street construction. With Tarrant County currently reconstructing Breckenridge Road, the reconstruction of these 3 roadways will complete the reconstruction of the asphalt roadways in this vicinity.
Funding Source
Street Bond Fund and Street Operations General Fund.
