Specialized Traffic Planning Assistance Contract

Context: The June 10, 2026 item lists a five-year maximum of $750,000 from the Special Revenue Fund but the minutes for Item 48 print no final disposition.

Recommended: Request the ordinance text and the executed interlocal agreement to confirm the term start date, the $750,000 cap, renewal and termination provisions, and whether the Special Revenue Fund is the exclusive funding source. Because the June 10 record shows no final disposition, also ask in writing whether the item must return to Council for a recorded action before the agreement can be executed.

Context: The June 10 ordinance authorizes an interlocal agreement with a maximum five-year amount of $750,000 for specialized traffic and transportation technical assistance, a delivery path that does not involve a competitive bid.

Recommended: Pull the scope of work attached to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute interlocal agreement and identify which tasks — corridor studies, signal retiming, traffic modeling, safety analysis — the city plans to route there over five years instead of issuing separate solicitations. Ask whether the agreement permits subcontracting or task orders to private firms before assuming that work is off the table.

Context: Item 48 from the June 10, 2026 Council meeting is recorded only as 'received during the course of the meeting; no final disposition printed' for a $750,000 five-year Texas A&M Transportation Institute agreement.

Recommended: Ask the City Secretary whether Item 48 on the June 10 agenda was tagged, deferred, or adopted, and request the roll call — the minutes show it was received with no final disposition printed. Also ask why a $750,000, five-year traffic engineering scope goes to a state institute through an interlocal agreement rather than a competitive solicitation.
