Analysis
Since September 8, 1994, the Dallas District of Texas Department of Transportation has been responsible for the clean up of approximately 297.699 acres of roadside land within the City of Grand Prairie, along IH 20 IH 30 and SH 180. The frequency with which TxDOT has been able to maintain these roadside acres is insufficient to provide the level of cleanliness desired by the City. Amendment #1 to the Municipal Maintenance Agreement, will allow the City to contract with a vendor to provide for the collection of litter along these roadways and provide for reimbursement up to $14.73 per acre per collection cycle, up to 12 cycles per year.

Financial Consideration
The cost of litter collection along these roadways at a frequency of once per month, at $14.73 per acre is $52,621.27, which is eligible for reimbursement. If litter collection is needed more frequently, the expense associated with this will be paid for by the City.

Funding is available in the approved FY 2018/2019 Solid Waste Budget 303510 61065 Contractual Services.
