DATE: Tuesday, June 07, 2016 REFERENCE NO.: G-18754
LOG NAME: 20SWMCOMANCHETRAILBRIDGE
SUBJECT:
Authorize Inter-Local Agreement with the City of Lake Worth for the Design and Construction of the
Comanche Trail Bridge Within Fort Worth City Limits Between Marina Drive and Malaga Drive in an
Amount Not to Exceed $1,348,600.00 and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached Appropriation Ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water Capital Projects Fund in the amount of$298,600.00 from available funds; and
2. Authorize an Inter-local Agreement with the City of Lake Worth for the design and construction of the
Comanche Trail Bridge within Fort Worth City limits between Marina Drive and Malaga Drive in an amount
not to exceed $1,348,600.00.
DISCUSSION:
On February 12, 2002, the City of Fort Worth and the City of Lake Worth entered into a Joint Resolution
(Fort Worth Resolution No. 2806) agreeing to shared responsibility for addressing drainage issues in the
Comanche Creek watershed. This Inter-local Agreement (ILA) is being recommended pursuant to that
Resolution.
A section of Comanche Trail between Marina Drive and Malaga Drive within the city limits of Fort Worth,
but accessed by streets in both Fort Worth and Lake Worth, has undersized culverts and the crossing
commonly experiences flooding during storm events. City of Lake Worth residents are the primary users
of this stretch of road and City of Lake Worth emergency personnel generally respond to flooding at this
crossing.
Pursuant to the Joint Resolution, the City of Lake Worth has previously spent $1,005,184.12 for
engineering, property acquisition, and utility relocations associated with the mitigation of drainage issues
in the Comanche Creek watershed. Under this ILA, the City of Lake Worth will pay up to $195,652.00 for
the design, procurement, and management of the construction of a bridge on Comanche Trail to mitigate
the risk of flooding as described above. The City of Fort Worth will pay for the construction costs subject
to approval of the design. Construction of the project is anticipated to begin in Fiscal Year 2017.
Staff supports this ILA and finds the costs to be fair and reasonable.
Appropriations for the project will be as indicated in the table below. Stormwater funding for this project
was approved on December 15, 2015 by City Council (M&C G-18625, Stormwater Fiscal Year 2016
CIP).
