MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Defederalization of Freeport Parkway Projects
City of Coppell, TxDOT Dallas District, NCTCOG
This memorandum of understanding (MOU) is intended to outline the agreement regarding the
Freeport Parkway funding strategy in the City of Coppel!. In March 2005, the North Central Texas
Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and the Regional Transportation Council (RTC), which serves as
the policy board for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), along with other
communities along the S.H. 121 corridor in Dallas and Denton counties, executed a MOU, which
identified projects that would be implemented using proceeds of the S. H. 121 toll project. Two
projects on Freeport Parkway were included in this MOU:
TIP Project 11532, CSJ 0918-47-983:
Freeport Parkway from S.H. 121 to Sandy Lake Road, Construct new 6-lane facility
= Authorized Funding: $7,11.41,858 total cost ($5,691,886 DFW RTR Funds and $1,422,972 local)*
~:4-
TIP Project 11533, CSJ 0918-47-984:
Freeport Parkway from Sandy Lake Road to Ruby Road, Widen 2 to 4 lanes
~""_ Authorized Funding: $4,377,500 total cost ($3,502,000 DFW RTR Funds and $875,500 local)**
I*The original project cost of $4,550,000 total ($3,640,000 DFW RTR funds and $910,000 local) will come
/ from the Denton County allocation of the S. H. 121 proceeds. The additional increment of funding
I $2,564,858 total ($2,051,866 DFW RTR funds and $512,972 local) will come from the Dallas County
\. allocation of the S.H. 121 proceeds.
::' ** The original project cost of $4,210,000 total ($3,368,000 DFW RTR funds and $842,000 local) will come
) from the Denton County allocation of the S.H. 121 proceeds. The additional increment of funding
/ $167,500 total ($134,000 DFW RTR funds and $33,500 local) will come from the Dallas County allocation
of the S.H. 121 proceeds.

These projects were originally funded with federal Surface Transportation Program - Metropolitan
Mobility (STP-MM) funds. Since that time, NCTCOG and TxDOT staff have agreed to defederalize
these projects to expedite the implementation timeframe. On October 11,2007, the RTC approved
additional funding and changed the funding source from STP-MM to the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional
Toll Revenue (DFW RTR) funds (as represented above). These project changes were submitted to
the State for inclusion in the 2008-2011 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program on
November 1,2007. Final Stat~/ap~roval is a~ticipate~i,n_~he Ja~2Y'~ry ~~8 ti~~frame.

This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the terms of agreement ana commitments made as a
part of this funding strategy.
I. RTC/NCTCOG COMMITMENTS
The RTC/NCTCOG staff commits to facilitate State approval of the project modifications (cost and
funding type) listed above. In addition, NCTCOG staff will draft and execute a master agreement with
the State to gain access to the DFW RTR funds. Subsequently, NCTCOG staff will draft and execute
an agreement with the City of Coppell in order to implement these projects. If the State does not
approve the defederalization proposal or execute a master agreement with RTC/NCTCOG to allow for
local vs. state project implementation, the project will Q;Yert~ a f~1 funding/implementation
process. Under these circumstances and as a one time occurrence, the RTC/NCTCOG will
reimburse Coppell for engineering costs incurred prior to contract execution (up to the current ,)
engineering estimate of $1 ,400,000). 0 iVlQ")ttt' A~rf''l''l'''''''''''-t:. uc:rc..otr .....J ,\f...-k. t~.",."

II. COPPELL COMMITMENTS
(Vav I 'bee
Coppell will initiate the engineering phase for ~h ~C~s in the October/November ~ timeframe.
Any design costs paid in advance of contract execulicln'-by the City of Coppell will count toward the 20
percent local match requirement for the project. However, local costs incurred prior to receipt of a"'''''' i
notice to proceed by RTC/NCTCOG will not be reimbursed. As a defederalized project, Coppell staff V\~/-..'r.J.J
certifies that City procurement, design standards, and construction inspection, and auditing rules and~u~
procedures will be followed. If the defederalization proposal fails, the project funding would revert
b~ck to fe~Ial. As a one-time good faith measure, RTC/NCTCOG will reimburse Coppell for
engineering costs incurred prior to contract execution (up to the current engineering estimate of
$1,400,000). Under this scenario, the City of Coppell would still have to provide a 20 percent local
match to federal funds.
III. TxDOT COMMITMENTS
TxDOT staff will facilitate execution of a master funding agreement between RTC/NCTCOG and
TxDOT for receipt of DFW RTR funds and subsequent implementation of off system transportation
and air quality projects. TxDOT concurs that any design costs paid in advance of contract execution
by the City of Coppell will count toward the 20 percent local match requirement for the project.

Funding Strategy for Freeport Parkway Projects
Defederalization Proposal
In March 2005, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and the Regional
Transportation Council (RTC), which serves as the policy board for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO), along with other communities along the S.H. 121 corridor in Dallas and
Denton counties, executed a MOU, which identified projects that would be implemented using
proceeds of the S.H. 121 toll project. Two projects on Freeport Parkway were included in this MOU:
TIP Project 11532, CSJ 0918-47-983:
Freeport Parkway from S.H. 121 to Sandy Lake Road, Construct new 6-lane facility
TIP Project 11533, CSJ 0918-47-984:
Freeport Parkway from Sandy Lake Road to Ruby Road, Widen 2 to 4 lanes
These projects were originally funded with federal Surface Transportation Program - Metropolitan
Mobility (STP-MM) funds. Since that time, NCTCOG and TxDOT staff have agreed to defederalize
these projects to expedite the implementation timeframe. On October 11, 2007, the RTC approved
changed the funding source from STP-MM to the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Toll Revenue (DFW
RTR) funds. This change was submitted to the State for inclusion in the 2008-2011 Statewide
Transportation Improvement Program on November 1, 2007. Final State approval is anticipated in the
December 2007/January 2008 timeframe. ~ ~v,*,tr\ ~1:e.v~J4.. i I P

RTC/NCTCOG COMMITMENTS

type) listed above. In addition, NCTCOG staff will draft and execute a master agreement with the
State to gain access to the DFW RTR funds. Subsequently, NCTCOG staff will draft and execute an

state project implementation, the project will revert to a federal funding/implementation process.
Under these circumstances and as a one time occurrence, the RTC/NCTCOG will reimburse Coppell
for engineering costs incurred prior to contract execution.
COPPELL COMMITMENTS
Coppell will initiate the engineering phase for both projects in the NovemberlDecember 2007
timeframe. Any design costs paid in advance of contract execution by the City of Coppell will count
toward the 20 percent local match requirement for the project. However, local costs incurred prior to
* receipt of a notice to proceed by RTC/NCTCOG will not be reimbursed (subject to the payment clause
listed under the RTC/NCTCOG commitments section). As a defederalized project, Coppell staff
certifies that City procurement, design standards, and construction inspection, and auditing rules and
procedures will be followed. If the defederalization proposal fails, the project funding would revert
back to federal. As a one-time good faith measure, RTC/NCTCOG will reimburse Coppell for
engineering costs incurred prior to contract execution. Under this scenario, the City of Coppel! would
still have to provide a 20 percent local match to federal funds.

Understanding Signatories
DATE: March 24, 2005
FROM: Michael Morris, P.E.
Director of Transportation
SUBJECT: Transmittal of S.H. 121 Memorandum of Understanding
The S.H. 121 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines the funding strategy
associated with the tolling of S.H. 121 from the southern end of the S.H. 121 Bypass at Denton
Creek to the Dallas North Tollway has recently been finalized. A fully executed original is being
transmitted to you via certified mail. As noted in the document, this MOU serves as a staff
planning document, which will be supported by subsequent approval by your policy bodies by
resolution.
The North Central Texas Council of Governments and Texas Department of Transportation
have secured or are pursuing funding for all projects identified in the MOU. Please note that all
projects included in the S.H. 121 MOU will go to bid as soon as funding is available and the
project is ready for construction. We look forward to working with you in the future to monitor
these projects and facilitate their timely implementation.
Please contact Christie Jestis or me at 817/695-9240 if you have any questions or if you need
any additional information regarding the S.H. 121 Memorandum of Understanding.
