Change Order No. 1 was executed on December 9, 2025, to add traffic control safety measures required by TxDOT for work at Site 2. This change order increased the contract amount by $18,360, for a revised total contract amount of $2,612,464.

Change Order No. 2 was executed on March 18, 2026, to address miscellaneous construction coordination items, including trail connection adjustments, safety fencing, concrete revisions, and inlet grate modifications. This change order increased the contract amount by $3,679, for a revised total contract amount of $2,616,143.

The current contract amount is $2,616,142.63 and the amount of the current request is an increase of $165,878.80 for a revised contract amount of $2,782,021.43.

The Engineering Department recommends approval of Change Order No. 3 for the increase in the construction contract with XIT Paving and Construction, Inc. in the amount of $165,879 for the Intersection Improvements - Legacy Drive & SH121 (Site 1), SH121 at JP Morgan Driveway (Site 2), Corporate Drive & Legacy Drive (Site 3), Corporate Drive at Tennyson Parkway (Site 4). 

Change Order No. 3 includes improvements at the intersection of Preston Road and Towne Square Drive, near the current project limits. The existing southbound left-turn lane on Preston Road has limited storage length, causing vehicle queues to extend into the inside through lane. With higher-speed southbound traffic on Preston Road, this condition contributes to congestion and increases the potential for vehicle conflicts. The proposed change order will extend the southbound left-turn lane at Preston Road and Towne Square Drive, improving queue storage and reducing the likelihood of backups into the through lane.

If Change Order No. 3 is not approved, the existing congestion and safety concerns will remain, as vehicles waiting to turn left may continue to block the inside southbound through lane on Preston Road.

Funding for this item is available in the 2025-26 Street Improvements CIP. The third change order to the construction contract with XIT Paving & Construction, Inc. for the Intersection Improvements - Legacy Drive & SH121 (Site 1), SH121 at JP Morgan Driveway (Site 2), Corporate Drive & Legacy Drive (Site 3), Corporate Drive at Tennyson Parkway (Site 4) project in the total amount of $165,879 will leave a balance of $230,136 for future expenditures.

Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
