Ka A,C S tary ADOPTED AND EFFECTIVE: June 28.2016 Ordinance No. 22297-06-2016 Page 1 of 1 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 6/28/2016 - Ordinance No. 22297-06-2016 DATE: Tuesday, June 28, 2016 REFERENCE NO.: **C-27798 LOG NAME: 13P16-0058 SURVEY CC PLANDEV SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Contract with A.N.A. Consultants, L.L.C., to Update the Wildan Study Cost Comparisons to see how Fort Worth Development and Occupation Costs Compare to Competitive Cities, in an Amount Up to $147,323.00 for a One Year Term and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt an appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Development and Occupation Costs Survey project in the amount of$147,323.00 and reduce the fund balance in the reserves of the TPW Gas Lease Project Legacy Fund; and 2. Authorize execution of a contract with A.N.A. Consultants, L.L.C., in an amount up to $147,323.00 for a one year term for a development and occupation costs survey. DISCUSSION: The study is an update of the cost data component of the Wildan Study of Development Costs and Transportation Impact Funding that was completed in 2009. This survey will provide the City with an analysis of the permitting, processing, infrastructure, mitigation and other costs related to development as compared to select other local, regional and national cities. We will use the results of the survey to evaluate the City's cost competitiveness related to the comparable cities in the state and around the country. The results will be used in the process to evaluate transportation impact fees, water impact fees, development fees and the overall cost of doing business in Fort Worth. This current study update was supported by the Fort Worth Chamber and discussed in the City Council Budget Workshops last year. The study is needed now to inform decision making related to the update of the transportation impact fee study that will begin later this year. The study results are also used in a continuing dialogue with stakeholders in the development community to insure that we are looking at development costs in a holistic way. The results will also serve as a benchmark for important community discussions related to the possible implementation or revision of development policies and regulations On April 22, 2008, Council approved allocating unrestricted gas well revenues up to a total of $15,000,000.00 for street improvements (M&C G-16117). Staff has determined the streets obligated for this funding are substantially complete and there remains approximately$400,000.00 in the fund. This survey meets the expenditure criteria of the Financial Management Policy Statement for Gas Well Revenues, therefore staff recommends using $147,323.00 of these funds for this survey which includes street costs related to development. RFP ADVERTISEMENT-A Request for Proposals (RFP) was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram Logname: 13P16-0058 SURVEY CC PLANDEV Page 1 of 3 every Wednesday from December 6, 2015 through February 3, 2016 with detailed specifications for survey requirements and reporting. The evaluation factors included ability to comply with RFP requirements, relevant experience and qualifications of the company, previous project experience, ability to meet schedule and current capacity, past performance on City projects, and price proposal. Sixteen vendors were solicited from the purchasing vendor database system; one response was received. The proposal was reviewed by an evaluation committee consisting of staff from the Planning and Development Department. The proposal from A.N.A Consultants, L.L.C., was determined to present the best value to the City. PRICE ANALYSIS - Prices under this contract are comparable to prices awarded in August 2008 (M&C C- 22964). No guarantee was made that a specific amount of services would be purchased. The cost to update the Development Cost Survey is $147,323.00, which is intended to be paid from Gas Well Revenue C223. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER -An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager in the amount of up to $36,830.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated. CONTRACT TERMS - Upon City Council's approval, the contract will begin upon execution and expire June 28, 2017. M/WBE OFFICE -A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE office, in accordance with the BDE ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. However, A.N.A. Consultants, L.L.C. has indicated that it is a certified M/WBE firm. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the TPW Gas Lease project Fund.
