ITEM SUMMARY:
* This Resolution authorizes the City Manager to enter into a Local Project Advance Funding Agreement (LPAFA) with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to furnish traffic signal equipment related to the signalization of the intersection, for an amount not to exceed $37,992.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
* A new traffic signal has been approved to be installed at the intersection of Custer Road (FM2478) and Bloomdale Road / Prosper Trail.
* Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) policies do not allow them to require their contractor to use the traffic signal equipment that matches the City of McKinney signal system but will allow the City to furnish the signal equipment for their contractor to install.
* Therefore, the City will furnish the traffic signal controller cabinet assembly, video detection and other miscellaneous equipment as part of this agreement with the understanding that TxDOT will reimburse the City for the cost.
* The reimbursement will be paid to the City upon completion of the project.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:

* A concurrent CIP Budget Amendment for TR1801 identifies TxDOT as the ultimate funding source for this Agreement
