Analysis
This project involves preparing construction plans for the addition of a right turn lane from eastbound IH20 frontage road to southbound Lake Ridge Parkway. The proposed right turn lane is located within TxDOT right-of-way requiring TXDOT permit to allow City construction to occur.
City of Grand Prairie Administrative Directive 10.0, and Section 2254.004 of the Government Code states the procurement of architectural or engineering services by the City requires the City first select the most highly qualified provider of the services, and then, negotiate a contract at fair price and reasonable price. Halff Associates, Inc has done many TxDOT projects and is considered one of the most qualified engineering firms in regards to roadway design and adherence to specific TxDOT requirements. For these reasons, City Staff recommends approval of this contract.
