Street & Sidewalk Capital Projects

Project Name Project Description
Street Assessment Project - The City of North Richland Hills roadway network is comprised of 549 lane miles and this project is for a consultant to
Continuing Project utilize specialized automated equipment to collect data such as ground penetrating radar, analyze, and process the data
in an overall pavement assessment. The assessment would yield a digital condition rating system, budget stressing
software that allows modification of the techniques that would result in a prediction of our current as well as the future
condition rating,and create five and/or ten year programs that would indicate where funds could be used most
impactfully. This project and consultant would be slected on an interlocal agreement with the North Central Texas
Council of Governments through their 3 vendors previously selected.

TEXRail Signal Timing This project consists of signal timing coordination at the city's signalized intersections which will be impacted by railroad
Coordination - Continuing Project preemption as a result of the commuter rail.

Traffic Signalization at Davis This project consists of both the design and construction of a new traffic signal light at the intersection of Davis
Boulevard & Creek View Drive - Boulevard and Creek View Drive/Post Office drive entrance. The traffic signal light will conform to the City's current
Continuing Project standards which include black powder coated poles and mast arms, ILSN signs, opticom system, LED lights, video
detection system, and street lights mounted on the mast arms. The Post Office driveway will need to be realigned and
relocated to match the intersecting street of Creek View Drive. The Post Office parking lot configuration for entry and
parking will need to be reconfigured to match the new entrance.

Transportation Management This project consists of three components: software, engineering, and equipment that has been developed to improve
Project - Continuing Project traffic signal
efficiency, reduce technician response time, and improve level of service through our corridors. The main component of
the
project is the central synchronization software that will provide a controller software storage platform and remote
communication with traffic signal equipment. Equipment necessary will include controllers, communication equipment
and video detection systems at some of the intersections. The system will operate using engineer-designed timing plans
that are the basis for the traffic signal coordination. The initial installation locations are planned for Davis and Mid-Cities
corridors and will incorporate traffic signals. The program would be expanded incrementally each year by adding
communication equipment and controllers until the entire signal system is connected.
Transportation Management This project will build on the Traffic Management Project approved in the 2019-20 CIP budget by upgrading ten
Project Equipment - New Project intersections to be compatible with our new central synchronization software:
1) Rufe Snow: (Meadow Lakes, Loop 820, Tapp, Dick Lewis, Iron Horse, Starnes), 2)Mid-Cities: Iron Horse, Holiday
3) Davis Blvd.: College Circle, Emerald Hills
The new equipment includes controllers, vehicle detectors and communications systems. The plan is to systematically
upgrade existing traffic signals each year until the entire transportation system is connected and complete.

Vance and Glenview Signal This project consists of replacing the existing span wire signal at the intersection of Vance Road and Glenview Drive
Upgrades - Continuing Project with pole mounted signals. This project also includes the installation of pedestrian signal heads and striping at the
intersection. This project has been approved for funding through the HSIP (Highway Safety Improvement Program)
grant which is 90% federal funding and 10% local funding. The 90% coverage of federal funds is only for construction
costs. This project will be let through TxDOT as the
grant is disseminated through TxDOT.
