Mayor and City Council
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works
May 24, 2005
Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the use of Community Development
Block Grant funds from FY 2005 in the amount of $68,932 and the reallocation of
available Community Development Block Grant funds from FY 1998 in the amount
of $3,447.68 for the construction of American with Disabilities Act compliant
accessibility ramps along the west sidewalk of Samuel Boulevard (Parkway
Boulevard to MacArthur Boulevard), and authorizing the City Manager to execute
the necessary documents for such funds; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
The City of Coppell is eligible to receive $68,932 in FY 2005 CDBG funding from Dallas
County on October 1, 2005. In addition, there is $3,447.68 remaining from the Coppell Middle
School West Restroom Project in FY 19998 that can be reallocated and combined with the FY
2005 funds.
The public meeting for citizen input on possible projects for CDBG FY 2005 funding was held
on April 26, 2005. Following the meeting, several projects were evaluated to determine if they
met the requirements of the CDBG funding. It was decided that an appropriate project would be
to reconstruct the accessibility ramps along the west sidewalk of Samuel Blvd., from Parkway
Blvd. to MacArthur Blvd. The current ramps at the intersecting streets and alleys are not
compliant with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Samuel Blvd. is a two-lane
undivided roadway that is classified as a major thoroughfare within the city. Providing ADA
compliant ramps along this thoroughfare will benefit the entire city as well as the surrounding
residents. This portion of sidewalk is adjacent to five subdivisions that have ingress and egress
off of Samuel Blvd. Elementary school age children from these subdivisions attend Lee
Elementary School located on Samuel Blvd., south of Parkway Blvd. This sidewalk provides
pedestrian access to the elementary school, as well as three nearby churches and city park
facilities.
c, OP~EL~/.
The city met the May 10, 2005 deadline to submit the proposed project and cost estimate to
CDBG staff for a preliminary review. Design, contract administration and inspection of the
proposed project will be done in-house. It may be necessary to obtain comer clips of right-of-
way off of several parcels to properly constntct the ramps. An outside consultant would prepare
any necessary legal descriptions for the comer clips. The estimated cost for the consultant
services and construction is $72,250. There should be sufficient funding for the surveying
services and construction, if the project is approved for CDBG funding. The Project/Activity
Application along with a resolution authorizing the submission of the proposed project must be
submitted to Dallas County by June 3, 2005.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the use of FY 2005 CDBG funds and
the reallocation of FY 1998 funds for the construction of ADA compliant accessibility ramps
along the west sidewalk of Samuel Blvd. (Parkway Blvd. to MacArthur Blvd.). Staff will be
available to answer any questions.
