Mayhill Road

City of Denton is excited to "go out to bid" for the Mayhill Phase 2 (DCTA) project this month. Staff evaluated the scope of the project and recommended using CSP (Competitive Sealed Proposal) instead of IFB (Invitation For Bid or “low bid”). CSP will allow staff to consider the contractor's staff, project workload, and history within our highly competitive market without price being the sole consideration. Over the next two months, advertising will close, bids will be opened, and staff will evaluate the contractor submittals and make a recommendation to the City Council to award the project for construction. Construction is expected to start in near March 2023 and will last approximately 18 months.

Utilities are cleared, real estate is acquired, permits are in place. Next stop for the Mayhill DCTA (aka Mayhill Phase 2) Project is to finalize the Plans, Specifications, and estimates to begin to advertise the project in October for construction bids. Bids will be reviewed and processed with a recommendation provided to City Council to award the project. The project is expected to take 18 months for construction and the start of construction is projected to start February/March 2023.

Mayhill Phase 2 (aka Mayhill DCTA) is making process thru final design. Activities that have been underway include final acquisition of ROW and easements, final utility relocations, agreement coordination with Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), field coordination Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA). Bidding is anticipated by close of 2022 with start of construction in early 2023.

Phase I of the Mayhill Road project is now substantially complete. This project expanded Mayhill Road (US 380 to north of Quail Creek Road) from a two-lane road to a four-lane divided road, added new water, sewer lines, and drainage structures.

Phase 2 of the Mayhill project is currently in the final stage of design with right-of-way acquisitions underway, and is tentatively scheduled to begin construction in Q2 2021. This phase of the project will include a 4-lane expansion towards Colorado Boulevard. This phase will also address congestion issues and include a bridge over the DCTA Rail to eliminate the at-grade intersection with the DCTA Railroad.

While construction activities for Phase 2 of the Mayhill project are not scheduled to begin until Q2 2021, staff are coordinating with DCTA for bridge approval, completing real estate activities, and addressing regional detention along the project route. Phase 2 will progress to the bid, advertise, and award phase and construction activities will follow.
