North Central Texas Council of Governments PO Box 5888 Arlington, TX 76005-5888 Subject: Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) Intersection Improvement Program TIP Amendment Request for Project 75 Dear Mr. Morris: Please consider this correspondence a joint request from the Cities of Coppell and Irving, and Dallas County for an administrative amendment to modify the scopes and budgets of COG Project Numbers 3096 (9 locations, Coppell) and 3102 (22 locations, Irving). We are currently negotiating the scope for Dallas County CMAQ Project 75, which includes signals in both Coppell and Irving and utilizes COG Project 3096 and Project 3102 funding. Dallas County is the sponsoring agency for both COG Projects. Currently the scope for the two project numbers includes traffic signal synchronization for six locations in Coppell and nineteen locations in Irving within the Denton Tap/Belt Line Road corridor. In terms of the TIP modification policy, two requests are presented herein for your approval: 1) the addition of a total of six locations, two to be added to COG Project 3096 and four to be added to COG Project 3102, and 2) an increase of funding for COG Project 3102. All six of the proposed locations are within coordinated traffic signal systems along the Belt Line Road corridor and are the only remaining signalized intersections along this important regional travel corridor which are not included in the current TIP. Modifying the TIP to include these locations would allow these critical signals to be analyzed and included in the engineering scope associated with arterial timing plans currently being negotiated for CMAQ Project 75. The attached graphic visually depicts this request. The engineering scope for the 34 intersections included in CMAQ Project 75 is estimated at $85,000, ($2,500 per intersection). However, only $51,000 is available from programmed funds allocated in COG Project 3096 ($30,000) and Project 3102 ($21,000). A total of shortfall of $34,000 is projected for this CMAQ Project. We jointly request that the amount of programmed funds for COG Project 3102 be increased by providing additional funds and by shifting COO Project 3096 funds to 3102. The proposed funding will cover the engineering fees with no CMAQ construction funding required to implement the recommendations. 411 Elm Street, 4th Floor Dallas, Texas 75202 214-653-7151 From: Karen Jones To: Alul Patel Date: 8/27/96 Time: 15:15:5:3 ..~, Pago 3 ol 6 M~.
