The Denton County Commissioners Court on Nov. 4 approved multiple interlocal agreements and construction contract changes for infrastructure and county facilities.

Fort Worth / SH 114 Championship Parkway: The court approved an interlocal cooperation agreement with the City of Fort Worth for the State Highway 114 Championship Parkway Sigma project. The agreement, as described in the meeting, sets Denton County’s contribution at an amount "which shall not exceed $3,500,000" to secure and manage design and construction contracts for the project; the city of Fort Worth would contribute up to $1,500,000. The motion was made by Commissioner Evans and seconded by the chair; the vote carried unanimously.

Frisco / Teal Parkway: The court approved an interlocal cooperation agreement with the City of Frisco for the Teal Parkway project, a four-lane concrete roadway with a bridge over Panther Creek between Stafford Middle School and Olive Branch Road. The county’s stated contribution "shall not exceed $3,000,000," with funding identified in the county project line item. Motion by Commissioner Williams, second by Commissioner Falconer; approved unanimously.

Memorial Drive widening amendment: The court approved Amendment No. 1 to an interlocal for the widening of Memorial Drive, increasing Denton County’s contribution from $2,350,000 to a larger amount described during the meeting. The verbal transcript contains a garbled figure for the additional funding; the court approved the amendment unanimously. The transcript did not provide a clear, clean numeric total for the county’s updated contribution; county officials should be consulted for the precise revised budget amount.

Courthouse expansion design amendment (HOK): The court approved Amendment No. 3 to the architectural services agreement with HOK for the Sally Beauty Building project (3001 Colorado Boulevard). Amendment No. 3 adds design, bidding and construction administration services to address items discovered during surveying, including accessible parking slope corrections and entry approach modifications. The amendment added a not-to-exceed $140,000 plus reimbursable expenses not to exceed $3,500, increasing the total contract value accordingly; the motion carried unanimously.

Engineering supplement — Justin Northlake: The court approved Supplemental Agreement No. 8 with Tignall & Perkins for the Justin Northlake project, increasing the contract by $329,683 with funding from PI bond funds; approved unanimously.

Each of the above motions was recorded as a voice vote with unanimous "aye" responses; specific payment schedules, interlocal terms and construction schedules were not read in full on the record and will be reflected in the final interlocal agreements and contracts filed with the county.
