8116900022 providing for the construction of U.S. 80 from Cherry Lane to
S.H. 183. This work provides for widening, traffic channelization, and storm

situation currently existing which results in a high accident rate along that
stretch of highway. The work will also include the intersection improvements at
S.H. 183/U.S. 80 which have been designed in accordance with the concept study
commissioned by the City of Fort Worth.
The limits of the work for Unit I have been extended one block west to Karen
Street and one block east to Irene Street.
On October 8, 1985, (M&C C-9260) the City Council approved a cost-sharing
agreement with the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation for
the construction of this portion of U.S. 80, S.H. 183 from U.S. 80 to I.H. 30,
and the U.S. 80/S.H. 183 intersection.

FROM RUBY STREET TO CALMONT STREET
PROJECT COST AND FINANCING
Under the terms of the cost-sharing agreement, the City's responsibilities for
this project consist of all utility adjustments, and construction of curb,
gutter, storm sewers, driveways, and sidewalks where necessary. The State
Department of Highways and Public Transportation has responsibility for
designing the project, awarding and administering the contract, and .paying all
construction costs not covered by the City.
The total estimated cost of the project is $3,675,656.76 of which the City's
share is $1,090,790. The payment of the City's share to the SDHPT was
authorized on October 8, 1985, (M&C C-9260). A portion of the City's cost can be
assessed against the adjoining property owners as follows.
Based on the low bid unit prices and the city's standard policy for
reconstruction, approximately $306,936.32 is proposed to be assessed against
adjacent properties for non-existing curb and gutter, driveway approaches,
sidewalks, and paving for Unit I. Approximately $55,671.80 is proposed to be
assessed against adjacent properties for non-existing curb & gutter for Unit II.
Since a small section of the project (463 linear feet) abuts the Benbrook City
limits, Fort Worth requested a resolution authorizing the City of Fort Worth to
assess abutting Benbrook property owners in accordance with Article 1105b of
Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
The Benbrook City Council passed Resolution No. 85-11 on August 1, 1985,
approving Fort Worth's assessment of Benbrook property owners on this project.
Fort Worth will assume the City of Benbrook-at-large cost for the one block
abutting Benbrook's city limit. Also, the City of Fort Worth will collect the
assessments levied.
Funds for the property owners' share of this reconstruction will be provided by
a fund transfer from Special Assessments Fund 94, Project No. 009905-00
,
Special Assessments Unspecified (in which sufficient funds are available) to
Project No. 023175-00, U.S. 80/S.H. 183 Improvements. ~
