*a SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO ENHANCED COMMUNITY FACILITIES
rrn AGREEMENT WITH BELL HELICOPTER TEXTRON, INC., TO EXTEND THE
COMPLETION DEADLINE FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF NORWOOD DRIVE
On December 18, 2012, (M&C C-26027) City Council approved execution of an Enhanced
Community Facilities Agreement (ECFA) with Bell Helicopter for reimbursement in an amount up
to $1,770,000.00 of the actual expenditures for the Project, including any curb, gutter, valley
gutter, and sidewalk. Funding for this reimbursement will be $1 ,000,000.00 from 2007 Critical
Capital Program ECFA Funds and the amount of$770,000.00 from Transportation Impact Fees.
On February 17, 2015 (M& C C-27187), the City Council amended M&C C-26027 to increase the
scope and costs related to the Enhanced Community Facilities Agreement with Bell Helicopter for
the reconstruction of Norwood Drive, and to extend the completion deadline for the project from
September 30, 2015 to December 30, 2015 to account for additional improvements.
Since that time, Bell's contractor, CD Builders, has encountered extensive delays, in part due to
difficulties in the relocation of a utility pole by AT&T at SH10 and Norwood Drive. Due to these
unanticipated delays, Staff recommends that the Agreement be amended to change the
completion deadline from December 30, 2015 to December 30, 2016.
Staff will place an M&C for City Council consideration on the August 30, 2016 agenda.
If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact Robert Sturns, Economic
Development Director at 817-212-2663 or robert.sturns@fortworthtexas.gov.
