4) Design Changes Relating to Permitting Authorities
If permitting authorities require design changes,the Consultant shall revise the plans
and specifications as required at the Consultant's own cost and expense, unless such

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 12/20/2005
DATE: Tuesday, December 20, 2005
LOG NAME: 22HYDE PARK TCB REFERENCE NO.: **C-21205
SUBJECT:
Authorize an Amendment to the Hyde Park Transit Plaza Design Contract with Turner Collie &
Braden, Inc., to Conduct a Traffic Engineering Study
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize an amendment to the Hyde Park Transit Plaza design
contract with Turner Collie & Braden, Inc. (TCB) to conduct a traffic engineering study for a fee not to
exceed $3,805.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed Hyde Park Transit Plaza at the intersection of Ninth and Throckmorton Streets is a
collaborative effort by the City, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, the U.S. General Services
Administration (GSA), and Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. The Hyde Park and Ninth Street Advisory
Committee, chaired by Councilmember Wendy Davis, oversees the project.
On November 11, 2003, (M&C C-19848) the City Council authorized a joint contract with the Fort Worth
Transportation Authority (the T) and Turner Collie & Braden, Inc. for the planning, design, and engineering
of the Hyde Park Transit Plaza. At the time of the contract's execution, staff did not include design work
related to traffic signals or other traffic control systems in TCB's scope of work. Staff had anticipated that
traffic-related design work would be similar to other Downtown intersections and that it could be completed
by City staff. As the transit plaza's conceptual design was developed, however, it became clear that the
plaza would require a more extensive traffic and circulation analysis than a normal Downtown intersection in
order to ensure pedestrian safety and efficient circulation.
The Hyde Park Transit Plaza's final conceptual design, approved by the advisory committee in March 2005,
includes realigning Ninth Street to the north, improving the 9th/10th/Throckmorton Streets intersection, and
narrowing Throckmorton Street. This design improves pedestrian circulation for transit riders walking to or
from the plaza by simplifying the confusing and dangerous 9th/10th/Throckmorton intersection. The design
emphasizes a balance between pedestrian, vehicular, and bus circulation, and requires a study of traffic-
calming measures that should be incorporated into the design to ensure pedestrian and driver safety.
This M&C will authorize a contract amendment for the study, which will include vehicular and pedestrian
counts (as required by TPW for all signalized intersections) and a study of traffic signal locations. The study
will not exceed $3,805 and will be funded through previously appropriated funds for Hyde Park. Hyde
Park's design and construction is funded through federal transportation grants administered by the Federal
Transit Administration. The City and the T share the local matching funds equally (10 percent each), and
the City Council has previously appropriated $498,000 through M&C C-19848, M&C G-13550 and through
the FY 2005-2006 budget for the project.
Hyde Park was originally conceptualized during the 1999 study of the Intermodal Transportation
Center. The study recommended dispersing bus transfer activity throughout Downtown and identified Hyde
Park, at the intersection of 9th and Throckmorton Streets as the most promising location for a transit

Page 2 of 2
plaza. Since 1999, the City, the T, GSA and Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. have worked together to secure
funding and to design the proposed transit plaza.
Turner Collie & Braden, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE ordinance by committing to 30%
M/WBE participation. The City's M/WBE goal on this project is 25%.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the
Critical Capital Projects Improvement Fund.
