The 1986 Capital Improvement Program included funds for the improvement of
Rickenbacker Place from Carverly Drive to Lucas Drive. The project was
subsequently extended to Cravens Road with funding from District 5 Undesignated
funds. The existing street consists of HMAC pavement in poor condition with
curb and gutter. The street has previously been constructed to City Standards.
Properties zoned and used for one and two-family residences will not be
assessed.
Rickenbacker Place will be constructed with standard concrete pavement.
Standard driveways and sidewalks will be built where shown on the plans.
On May 21, 1991 (M&C G-9156), the City Council established June 18, 1991, as the
date of the benefit hearing. Notice was given in accord with Article 1105b,
Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
An independent appraiser has provided a report that determined the enhancement
to the property value that will result from the improvements. Based on standard
City policy, the City Engineer's estimate, and the advice of the independent
appraiser, the division of estimated construction cost is:
Property owners' share of cost $ 26,720.00 (8%)
City's share of cost $310,314.73 (92%)
Total cost $337,034.73 (100%)

Council consideration. The project is in Council District 5.

tion in support
of the Healthy Start SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE HEALTHY START PROGRAM
Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution in support
of the Healthy Start Program.
DTA Jc,1;T0N-
The Healthy Start Program is an attempt by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services to address the issue of infant mortality. $25 million has been
appropriated in the current fiscal year and $171 million has been included in
the President's FY 1992 budget proposal for this program. These funds will be
awarded to ten communities, selected as demonstration project sites. Funding
is anticipated for a total of five years although at declining levels. The goal
of the program is to reduce infant mortality in the selected communities by 50
percent over this five year period, and at the same time achieving overall
improvement in maternal and infant health and well being. Techniques are to be
developed which can be replicated across the country.
In order to be eligible, a project area must have an average of at least 50, but
no more than 200 infant deaths per year for a five year period ending in 1988.
The infant mortality rate for that five year period must average at least 15.7.
In order to be successful, a community must submit a proposal which is an
integrated package of health and social services. Issues of education,
employment, housing and other social conditions have to be addressed as well as
health issues. The proposal must reflect the commitment of the entire community
and include multi -agency participation. (It was stated that if more than one
proposal is received from a community they will all be thrown out because it
means the community did not work together!) The City of Fort Worth as a whole
does not meet the eligibility criteria. However, thirteen planning sectors have
been identified which do. These planning sectors can be defined as our project
area.
On May 23, 1991, the Health Department convened a meeting with some twenty-seven
agencies represented to consider applying for this grant. It was unanimously
agreed that we should proceed. The City of Fort Worth Health Department was
asked to be the lead agency through the proposal development process. By the
time the proposal is submitted the consortium will decide whether the City
should continue in this role throughout this project or if another agency should
assume lead responsibility.
Assistant City Manager Libby Watson appeared before the City Council and advised City
ouncil that the approval of the resolution declares the intent of the City of Fort Worth
o be a part of the Healthy Start Program.
Council Member Meadows made a motion, seconded by Mayor Pro tempore Webber, that
ommendation, as contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9194, be adopted.
n the motion was put to a vote by the Mayor, it prevailed unanimously.
Council Member Meadows introduced a resolution and made a motion that it be adopted.

PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 6
At the time of plan development, drainage along East First Street was handled
through an exiting box culvert. Original plans and specifications indicated the
removal of the existing structure and installation of a double 54" Class III
Reinforced Concrete Pipe. Due to complications with gaining proper easements
for the proposed structure, the following changes are necessary to complete the
East First Street portion of the development contract.
1. Delete the installation of two 54" RCP for the contract. Due to the small
credit the City would receive for the return of the 54" RCP, the City will
retain 172 LF of pipe for future use in the park. The deletion of
installation will reduce bid price by $11,226.44 (deduction to Unit 1,
Item 14).
Deduct: $11,226.44
2. Delete the removal of existing 6'x24' box culvert at a price of $2,736.00
(deduction to Unit 1, Item 13).
Deduct:
$ 2,736.00
3. Delete additional clearing and earthwork related to the installation of
54" RCP which was identified i n Change Order No. 5 (omit Item 21 of Change
Order No. 5).
Deduct: $ 7,936.50
4. Delete additional 16 CY of gabion blankets proposed in Change Order No.
5 (omit Item 22 of Change Order No. 5).
Deduct: $ 3,345.10
5. The original work would have had to be performed on the weekend in order
to minimize traffic problems along East First Street. The proposed
extension of the box culvert will not require closure of the street or
weekend work (omit Item 23 of Change Order No. 5).
Deduct:
$ 6,540.40
6. Add a 12' extension of the existing concrete box culvert to the south side
of East First Street. Work will include all related earthwork, subgrade
preparation, supply and installation of box extension, headwall and wing
wall construction (add a new Item 26, Box Culvert Extension, to Unit 1,
Roads and Parking).
Add: $16,582.44
Change Order Items 1 - 6 reflect a net decrease of $15,202.00 due to the
elimination of installation of 54" RCP in East First Street.
7. The following days the contractor was unable to accomplish work due to
weather conditions:
December: 2, 3, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31

The total days lost for the month of December 1990 was fourteen (14). As
per the weather table (WT -1) in the specifications, seven (7) days were
expected during December. Total days lost for the month of January 1991
was nineteen (19). As per the weather table (WT -1), seven (7) days were
expected for the month of January. Thus, the difference of nineteen (19)

contract with Motor- as follows: y g '

ola, Inc.
SUBJECT: INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution establishing intent to issue one or more
series of obligations to fund all or part of the purchase of a
communications system, and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Motorola, Inc. for
the acquisition of a communications system for a total amount not to
exceed $12,031,080.00.
DBUSSTON-
In February 1991, the City Council authorized the release of a request for bid
for a new interdepartmental communications system to replace the old, inadequate
systems now used by the various City departments. Outlined below are some of
the major operational features of the trunked radio system:
Immediate access to the system - Departments/divisions will no
longer be limited to one channel. Instead, the computer will be
able to select any available channel for voice communication.
Private communication between user roues - Talk groups within
departments or between departments can be established that will
allow only those people specifically identified to hear
communications.
Pre-programmed emergency configuration - Those departments that
generally work together on major disasters such as tornados,
airplane crashes, hazardous spills, flooding, etc., can establish
a talk group which can be activated upon demand without tying up a
channel on an on-going basis.
Emergency alert feature - Personnel in the field will be able to
alert dispatchers in the event they are in danger by simply pushing
an alert button. Assistance can be provided even if there is no
voice transmission.
Remote enable/disable of lost/stolen units - This will prevent the
use of hand-held radios by unauthorized personnel in the event they
are lost or stolen.
Voice encryption - This feature will allow Police departments to
scramble messages when carrying out certain operations. Currently,
anyone with a radio tuned to the same frequency band can monitor
some conversations.
Inter -agency communications - Currently a couple of cities in the
County and D/FW Airport have 800 MHz systems. These systems could
be tied to the proposed system in a talk group that could be
activated in the event there is a major disaster that necessitated
the coordination of various government agencies.
Bid invitations were mailed to 7 vendors. Four vendors did not respond, and one
no -bid was received. The bid was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on
February 7 and 14, 1991. The two bids received were as f� ows:
Bidder Amount Bid
Motorola, Inc. $12,031,080
Dallas, Texas net, f.o.b.
Fort Worth
GE Mobile Com. Dist., Inc. $13,677,612

M&C C-12923 cont. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The staff proposes that financing of the new interdepartmental communications
system be accomplished by the issuance of debt obligations. Since the first
cash payment on the recommended contract is not expected to occur until June of
1992, the City's bond counsel was consulted for an appropriate procedure for
establishing an intent to issue future debt which would provide the required
authority for executing a contract, but not commit the City to a specific debt
prior to the need for cash. In the opinion of bond counsel, the attached
resolution provides sufficient authority upon which a contract with the
recommended vendor may be executed. Prior to the requirement of cash payment,
the staff will submit to the City Council the specific debt financing proposal
which is most advantageous to the City at the time.

issue is for
the procurement of the 40 channels; and that the action taken by

contract
with Motorola
is sufficient action for Region 40 to interpret as a commitment on

of Fort Worth's
part for the allocation of the channels to the City.
Assistant City Mana- Assistant City Manager Bob Terrell appeared before the City Council and described the
ger re cost of the proposed cost of the communication system and advised City Council that it is their intent

determine what excess capacity would be available for marketing.
Chief Thomas Windham Chief Thomas Windham appeared before the City Council and advised the City Council
re communication that he could not say that the communication system is needed over additional officers, that
system for Police the Police Department needs both and that, if the City is going to preserve the channels
Department that we currently have, it needs to act now; and stated that he could not send police
officers out to expanded areas of the City of Fort Worth without an adequate communication
system.
