Summary

This resolution authorizes a payment of up to $238,632.00 to the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) for an agreement initially approved on August 9, 2017 (Resolution No. 17-1165). This payment is for the construction, maintenance, and use of a new grade-separated overpass structure for Cockrell Hill Road, specifically between La Reunion Parkway and Singleton Boulevard, within the UPRR right-of-way. The funds will be disbursed from the 2024B Certificates of Obligation Fund. This action aligns with the city's Infrastructure Management Plan and follows a series of prior agreements and resolutions related to the Cockrell Hill Road project and Dallas County's Major Capital Improvement Program (MCIP). Dallas County has been the lead agency for administering the design and construction, but the City of Dallas will now lead the construction administration for this specific project.

This payment is for an existing agreement to construct an overpass on Cockrell Hill Road between La Reunion Parkway and Singleton Boulevard. Residents can expect continued progress on this infrastructure project, which aims to improve transportation flow in the area.
