At its April 26 meeting, the Trophy Club Town Council approved paying $352,650 to Manning Concrete and Home Run Construction to extend Junction Way as part of an agreement with the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, according to the agenda item’s memo. Trophy Club MUD 1 will contribute $83,498 to the project.
Junction Way is located on the east side of Trophy Club near the end of Indian Creek Drive, the memo states. The road abruptly ends and is followed by gravel, which travels past the Trophy Club Country Club Maintenance Facility and the Parks and Streets Department Maintenance Facility, and it leads to the entrance of the Trophy Club MUD 1 water treatment facility.
Because of this, Trophy Club and Trophy Club MUD 1 signed a property exchange agreement on July 30, 2020, to split the cost of extending Junction Way from its current end to the water treatment facility, which will “improve the stability of the roadway when driving heavy equipment in and out of both facilities,” according to the agreement.
Trophy Club is also requesting improvements be made to the Parks and Streets Department Maintenance Facility by adding more concrete for parking heavy equipment and trailers, a motorized gate for security and an enclosed space for the roll-off dumpster at the facility. This part of the project will be solely funded by the town since Trophy Club MUD 1 only agreed to help fund the road extension.
The Town Council also approved improvements to three trails between Parkview Drive and Lakeview Elementary School, which is being done through an interlocal agreement with the city of Grapevine, according to the agenda item. Manning Concrete is also the contractor for the trail improvements and estimates the project to cost $224,699.56.
The memo states that the trails, which cover 2,200 linear feet and are made of asphalt, are “in desperate need of repair,” as they currently have severe degradation, large cracks, tripping hazards and three spots that do not meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.
Three trails will have their existing asphalt removed and replaced with concrete, according to the memo. The work will be done in three phases, which will cause portions of the trail system to be closed to the public. The town estimates the project will take about four to six weeks to complete.
The third approved project is to replace the existing batting cages and lights at Independence Park West, the agenda item’s memo states. The batting cages were originally installed in 2016 but were taken out of commission in March “because they were in disrepair due to their age.”
When town staff met with the Trophy Club Roanoke Youth Baseball Association in March, both parties agreed on replacing the batting cages and lights, according to the memo. The town and TCRYBA agreed to split the cost of the project 50/50. Playground Solutions of Texas will replace the batting cages and Nema 3 Electric will replace the light fixtures.
The total project cost is $52,819.94, the memo states. TCRYBA and the town will each pay $26,409.97 to fund the project. However, Trophy Club will not be moving forward with the project until it receives the $26,409.97 from the TCRYBA.
