Title
Consider approving Resolution No. 2016-067 approving a First Amendment to the Project Specific Agreement with Dallas County relative to the Marsh Lane Bridge Project; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
On December 16, 2014 the City Council approved Resolution No. 2014-112 approving a Project Specific Agreement with Dallas County for the Marsh Lane Bridge Project. The project involves removing the southbound Marsh Lane Bridge located between Brookhaven Club Drive and Valley View Lane and constructing a new bridge to bring it out of the flood zone. The project cost was estimated at $2,100,000 in 2014. The City and Dallas County are partnering in the cost for the bridge replacement under a 50/50 funding match agreement, which came to $1,050,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
Dallas County recently bid the project and found an increase in construction costs from the initial cost estimate in 2014. The Project Specific Agreement needs to be amended by increasing the City's project cost by $347,500.00; the total of the City's share of this project is now $1,397,500. This increases the total project cost for City and Dallas County to $2,795,000.00 for the Marsh Lane Bridge Project.
The increase in City funding of this project will be provided from the Street Bond Program in the amount of $347,500.00.
Pending approval of this First Amendment to the Project Specific Agreement by Dallas County, improvements are schedule to tentatively begin in late September/early October 2016.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Administration recommends approving Resolution No. 2016-067 approving a First Amendment to the Project Specific Agreement with Dallas County relative to the Marsh Lane Bridge Project.

2. I move to approve Resolution No. 2016-067 approving a First Amendment to the Project S...
