As a result, Denton County has agreed, at its sole cost and subject to City and TxDOT approvals, to provide the design and funding for the construction of intersection and signal improvements on SH-114 at Tanger Boulevard/Labonte Lane (see attached map). The City will engage one of its traffic signal task order contractors to proceed with the immediate construction of signal improvements at SH-114/Tanger Boulevard/Labonte Lane. The City will construct additional signals along SH-114 between IH-35W and Championship Parkway as development occurs and signal operations would be the appropriate traffic control technique. The proposed Interlocal Agreement with Denton County will provide for the reimbursement of the City's construction costs and associated project management, inspection, and material testing costs.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: Denton County. |
