SUBJECT:
Authorization to Enter Into an Interlocal Agreement with the Tarrant Regional Water District to
Replace the Cross Timbers Bridge Levee at the Nature Center
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an Interlocal Agreement with
the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) to replace the Cross Timbers bridge levee structure located at
the Nature Center.
DISCUSSION:
The 1998 Capital Improvements Program allocated $100,000 for the replacement of the Cross Timbers
bridge levee located at the Nature Center. The bridge was the levee which separated the West Fork of the
Trinity River from wetland areas within the Nature Center. This levee serves as access to a large portion of
the Nature Center. Due to recurrent storm events over the years, the levee was breached, rendering the
levee bridge impassable and eliminated access to this area of the Nature Center.
In February 2002 (City Secretary No. 27437), the Parks and Community Services Department (PALS)
entered into agreement with Alan Plummer Associates, Inc. in the amount of $17,672 to analyze levee
degradation, provide recommendation of specific levee breach repair and develop design concepts for the
levee renovation with structural reinforcement. Final design concepts and cost estimates were received in
June 2002. Upon review, PACSD determined that the allocated funding was insufficient to cover the
projected reconstruction budget of $134,640. PACS subsequently placed the project on hold due to lack of
project funding.
In the Fall of 2003, PACSD held discussions with the TRWD regarding the opportunity for the City and
TRWD to enter into an Interlocal Agreement by which TRWD would generate a specific design and
construct levee repair and ancillary structural reinforcement which would again open access to the Nature
Center area. This agreement will allow the City of Fort Worth to provide funding up to, but not to exceed
$75,000 for the purchase of materials necessary to complete this project.
Construction is anticipated to start in June 2004, with completion by August 2004, contingent upon weather
conditions.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the
Parks and Community Services Fund.
