Analysis
The City of Grand Prairie is entering into a partnership agreement with TXDOT for Great Southwest Parkway improvements under Interstate 20 from EB to WB frontage roads. This work includes additional lane on Great Southwest Parkway in each direction under IH20 from EB to WB frontage roads. These improvements will reduce congestion at Great Southwest Parkway and IH20 interchanges without additional capacity on Great Southwest Parkway under IH-20, that the interchange will become more of a bottleneck; particularly with Great Southwest Parkway improvement to 6 lanes in each direction. These improvements will provide significant mobility enhancements within the corridor
The overall project cost is $3,512,130 of which $2,126,400 is federally funded, $674,355 is state funded and $711,375 is locally funded.
Financial Consideration
City’s portion of the estimated $3,512,130 cost of the project is about 20.25% ($711,375). Funding agreement calls for the city to pay $186,060 upon execution and before construction. Funding for this project in the amount of $450,000 is available in the WO #01808103. The remaining amount of $261,375 will be available by separate ordinance request on the June 2, 2020 Council for approval.
