Verify Criado's cumulative Love Field garage supplement value
Why now: The April 20 agenda listed the $7.5M Love Field garage repair contract as nearly two-thirds of $11.6M in proposed committee spending without disclosing Criado's prior cumulative billings on the same project.
What to do: Pull Criado Engineering's original Love Field garage repair contract and every prior supplement to calculate the cumulative award — if amendments have pushed the total past the 25% threshold under Dallas purchasing policy, the city must run a new qualifications-based selection instead of this supplement, and the full council vote is the last point to raise that objection.
Act before: After full council vote on this item
Watch for Love Field garage construction bid
Why now: The Love Field garage repair item made up nearly two-thirds of the $11.6M in proposed committee spending on April 20, signaling the project is moving from design into a construction-ready phase.
What to do: This $7.5M award is a services supplement to Criado's existing design contract, not a new competitive procurement — track Dallas Aviation's solicitation postings for a related construction RFP, since a design-phase supplement at this scale on a garage repair typically precedes a separate construction bid package.
Act before: After next hearing on this item
Request staff report on Love Field garage supplement
Why now: The April 20 agenda paired $11.6M in proposed spending across seven items with four briefings (Vision Zero, TxDOT/I-345, a TxDOT right-of-way audit, and a parking program update) in one meeting.
What to do: File for the staff report and discussion record specific to the Criado supplement — it accounted for nearly two-thirds of the $11.6M total but was one of 13 substantive items the committee handled in a single April 20 session that also carried four separate policy briefings, raising the question of how much individual review it actually got.
Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
Contact committee before Love Field garage supplement advances
Why now: April 20 was the only recorded appearance for this matter and the next procedural step is unknown, meaning it could reach the consent agenda without further public notice.
What to do: Reach the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee members who heard the April 20 agenda to confirm whether they attached any conditions to the Criado supplement — once it's bundled onto the full council consent agenda, the window to add reporting conditions or request cumulative-value documentation closes.
Act before: After item posts to full council consent agenda
