DISCUSSION The anticipated rapid growth in north Tarrant County, caused primarily by the activities of the Perot group and other large land developers, requires that an independent traffic study be undertaken to verify the locations and designs of interchanges along the I-35W corridor, from North Loop 820 to S H 114 north of the Denton County line. To this end, Councilrnan Gilley appeared before the State Highway and Public Transportation Commission to urge the State's cooperation in the I-35W corridor study. The Commission indicated its approval of the study (Minute Order 86419, October 28, 1987), but stipulated that the study should include consideration of a proposed North Tarrant County Freeway interchange at I-35W. On November 16, 1987, Commissioner Bob Hampton of Tarrant County Precinct No. 3 and representatives of certain North Tarrant County communities, including the City of Fort Worth, appeared before the State Highway and Public Tr ans,portation Commission to urge the State's cooperation in undertaking a feasibility and DATE/ REFERENCE sus~ECr CONSULTANT CONTRACT-NORTH TARRAN PAGE 112688 NUMBER c-10762 COUNTY FREEWAY ALIGNMENT STUDY _2 of 3 alignment study for the proposed North Tarrant County Freeway. It is understood that the Commission has drafted a minute order in support of the freeway study, however, we have not yet received that minute order Since a North Tarrant County Freeway would benefit several of the communities in County Commissioner Hampton's precinct, the Commissioner took the initiative to seek the communities' participation in funding the freeway route study. At this time, not all of the communities have responded to Commissioner Hampton's solicitation Of those communities which have responded, the City of Haltom City has tendered $500, the City of Keller $4,013, the City of North Richland Hills $19,287 and the City of Grapevine $10,000 Five engineering firms were considered to undertake the freeway alignment study A selection committee consisting of representatives of the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation (SDHPT), Tarrant County and the Cities of Fort Worth, Haltom City, Watauga, Keller, North Richland Hills, Grapevine, Southlake and Colleyville appraised each firm's written unpriced proposal and oral presentation and reached a consensus to recommend that the Dannenbaum Engineering Corporation be awarded the contract The Dannenbaum Engineering Corporation has agreed to undertake the work on an hourly rate basis with the total fee not to exceed $158,426 and to complete the work within 12 months. This time frame provides for substantial public involvement of the jurisdictions through which the freeway might pass, as well as for continuing coordination with the SDHPT. The proposed fee is considered by the City's staff to be fair and reasonable for the work involved. Dannenbaum has agreed to comply with the City's policies regarding MBE and WBE participation. The end product of Dannenbaum's effort will be a final report with data and alignment in sufficient detail to present to the State Highway and Public T.r ansportation Commission for its consideration and approval PROJECT FINANCING In order to finance this contract, a bond fund transfer in the amount of $124,626 will be necessary from Street Improvements Fund 90, Project No. 095901-00, Construction Engineering in New Developments, (where sufficient funds are available,) to Project No. 136059-00, N. Tarrant Freeway Alignment Study. Expenditure will be made from Index Code 621375. The remainder of the consultant's fee will be covered by funds tendered by the communities as set forth above. A supplemental appropriation ordinance will be necessary to appropriate the $33,800 of contributed funds in Street Improvement Fund 90, Project No. 136059-00, N. Tarrant County Freeway Alignment.
