CITY $ECR'I'ARY East Rosedale from US 287 to Stalcup City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Regional Transportation Council, and Texas Department of Transportation This memorandum of understanding (MOU) is intended to outline the agreement regarding the funding and implementation strategy for East Rosedale from U S. 287 to Stalcup. I. BACKGROUND 1 In 1999, the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) funded the East Rosedale project from U S. 287 to Stalcup. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) provided additional Strategic Priority funds (of $3 million) in 2001. Since that time, both the City of Fort Worth and Tarrant County have contributed additional funds for this project. The scope of work has been discussed and debated for many years culminating in a decision in January 2011 to reconstruct 4 lanes to 4 lanes with intersection and safety improvements, and to add urban design amenities, such as wide sidewalks, street furniture, landscaping, lighting, etc. The design process will require several intensive community meetings throughout the design process in order to identify the final product that meets the unique history and needs of the community. With such a long history, the funding agencies find it necessary to codify the scope, funding, and responsibilities of each entity in order to provide assurances to the local community that the project will be delivered in a timely manner. Through this document, the impacted parties hereby state the terms of agreement and concur with the resulting commitments made as a part of this funding and implementation strategy. II. CONSTRUCTION PHASING The project is described as the reconstruction and rehabilitation of East Rosedale from U S 287 to Stalcup with intersection and safety improvements and urban design amenities. The City of Fort Worth will coordinate with local community groups to determine which urban design amenities are most appropriate for this corridor. Construction will be split into two phases with the first phase being implemented from U S. 287 to West of Miller as four lanes undivided and with the second phase being implemented from West of Miller to Stalcup as four lanes divided with a raised median. It is noted that a separate, but related project was funded through the 2009- 2010 Sustainable Development Program. This project, called the Polytechnic/TWU Streetscape Enhancements project, will add pedestrian amenities and improve traffic signalization on East Rosedale between Nashville and Collard Streets, and will be combined into Phase I of the East Rosedale corridor project. III. COST Phase I - from U S 287 to West of Miller Engineering and Environmental: Right -of -Way: Franchise Utility Adjustments: Construction: Amenities: Contingencies/Inflation Factor (21 %): Inspection and Testing: $1, 379, 360* $250,000 (at intersections) $100,000 $8,362,500** $3,480, 331 ** $1,364,390 $589, 720 $15, 526, 301 l( 11-T1111\K'. 0 ll a *Includes survey and geotechnical, and engineering expenses from the Polytechnic/TWU Streetscape Enhancements project; and assumes TxDOT releases existing engineering plans at no additional cost to the City of Fort Worth for completion. **Includes cost of the Polytechnic/TWU Streetscape Enhancements project (capped at $1,875,000 [$1,500,000 Regional Toll Revenue funds and $375,000 local funds] for pedestrian amenities and signalization). Also Page 1 of 3 06-28-1 2 P03 : 20 assumes that $1,500,000 in funding from the Polytechnic/TWU Streetscape Enhancements project is Regional Toll Revenue funds, resulting in the limits ending West of Miller instead of at Miller as originally discussed. The City of Fort Worth will bid the Polytechnic/TWU Streetscape Enhancements project elements as Unit 2 of the Phase I roadway project to verify that the original $1,875,000 funding commitment is met. Phase II — from West of Miller to Stalcup Engineering and Environmental: Environmental Mitigation Right -of -Way Franchise Utility Adjustments Construction: Amenities: Contingencies/Inflation Factor (18%) TxDOT Engineering and Inspection (6%): $1,050,000 (includes survey and geotechnical) $105,000 $600,000 $0 $10,500,000*** $1,334,820 $1,890,000 $630,000 $16,109,820 ***Includes increase in costs to adjust limits to West of Miller instead of at Miller.

This memorandum of understanding does not encumber Tarrant County funds, bond or otherwise; as funds are encumbered via an interlocal agreement between Tarrant County and the City of Fort Worth. County Bond funds are limited to street construction, sidewalks, basic landscaping, and basic illumination; therefore, City funds will be used for enhancements (such as landscaping, lighting, etc.). Note that the federal swap for RTR funds was formally approved on October 13, 2011. Phase II — from West of Miller to Stalcup TxDOT PE Funds STP-MM Federal RTC Funds: TxDOT Strategic Priority: City of Fort Worth (2004 Bond Program). $1,050,000 $9,077,121 $2,400,000 $3,582,699 $16,109,820 If Phase I or Phase II incur cost underruns, the funding will be retained until both phases are fully completed. Savings as a result of cost underruns will be redistributed equally based off each entity's' initial contribution. Cost overruns on Phase II will be shared by the RTC and the City of Fort Worth unless the overrun can be covered by Phase I underruns. Page 2 of 3 V.
