Authorize Execution of Amendment No.1 to City Secretary Contract No. 46771 with Freese and Nichols,
Inc., in the Amount of$405,491.00 for Construction Management Services for the Trinity River Vision
Central City Project Bridges on North Main Street, Henderson Street and White Settlement Road and

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Intergovernmental Contributions Fund in the amount of$405,491.00; and
2. Authorize the execution of Amendment No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No. 46771 with Freese and
Nichols, Inc., in the amount of$405,491.00 for construction management services for Trinity River Vision
Central City Project Bridges on North Main Street, Henderson Street and White Settlement Road (Trinity
River Vision-Related Expenses eligible for reimbursement from the Tarrant Regional Water District).
DISCUSSION:
In the summer of 2014 the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) advertised project bids for the
construction of the North Main Street, Henderson Street and White Settlement Road bridges in
conjunction with the Trinity River Vision Central City Project. TxDOT awarded the construction contract for
the three bridges to the Sterling Delaware Holding Company, Inc. (Texas Sterling Construction), in the fall
of 2014.
Current Bridge Construction Schedules:
Bridge Location Start _Finish
Henderson Street Fall 2014 IFall 2018
White Settlement Road IFall 201 Opring 2018
North Main Street Summer 2016 Spring 2018
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) agreed to provide construction inspection and
geotechnical/materials testing services for the three bridges. The City and its project partners (Tarrant
Regional Water District, Tarrant County and Trinity River Vision Authority) agreed to provide construction
management services to work with TxDOT to ensure the bridges were constructed in accordance with
existing Agreements and project intent.

Due to the complexity of the combined bridge project, the uniqueness of the bridge design (no similar
bridges in the State of Texas) and unusual design elements Staff recommended that the design engineer,
Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI), be engaged to provide construction management services during the
construction period to ensure that the three bridges were constructed in accordance with the design intent.
On June 2, 2015, (Mayor and Council Communication (M&C C-27313) the City Council authorized an
Engineering Agreement in the amount of$271,622.00 with FNI for construction management services for
the three bridges. FNI's Engineering Agreement was based upon a limited defined scope of services and
structured to be used on an "as needed" hourly basis to support Staff.
FNI's services have been extremely useful in resolving issues pertaining to unusual project elements
including the V-pier structures, bridge aesthetics, illumination and project landscaping. Structural items
requiring additional detailed review include the V-piers, retaining walls and post tensioning sequencing of
the three bridge substructures and superstructures. Other project elements requiring FNI's expertise
include the bridge LED lighting systems and maintenance portals. Staff has determined that, due to
uniqueness of the bridge designs and challenges identified during the early stages of construction, FNI's
scope of services and level of effort needs to be expanded to address unanticipated design and
construction issues on an "as needed" basis. FNI has proposed to provide the recommended construction
management services on an hourly rate basis and a total fee not to exceed $405,491.00.
Staff considers the proposed fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of service to be performed.
Original Contract $271,622.00
i
Amendment No. 1 $405,491.00
Total Contract $677,113.00
The entire $405,491.00 amount of this contract is considered TRV-related. Having met its $26.6 million
commitment to the TRV project, the City will be reimbursed the full amount of$405,491.00 by the Tarrant
Regional Water District (TRWD) upon project completion, in accordance with the provisions of the
executed Interlocal Agreement between the City and the TRWD (CSC No. 43425). Staff will record a
receivable every month for reimbursable expenses, and the TRV Program Manager in the Planning and
Development Department will be responsible for collecting the full reimbursement from TRWD upon
project completion. Once reimbursement is received, the revenue will be receipted to the
Intergovernmental Contributions Fund.
M/WBE Office: Freese & Nichols, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to
an additional 10 percent M/WBE participation on this Amendment No. 1. The City's M/WBE goal on this
Amendment or extra work is seven percent.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 9 and will benefit the entire City.
