DISCUSSION
Logname 20W 7TH BRDG RE Page 1 of 3
The existing West 7th Street bridge was built in two sections. the first section was built in 1913 over the
Clear Fork of the Trinity River prior to its channelization this portion now spans Forest Park
Boulevard The second section of the bridge was built in 1955 with the channelization of the river
On November 29 2005 (M&C C-21164) the City Council approved an Advance Funding Agreement with
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for the rehabilitation of the West 7th Street bridge over the
Clear Fork Trinity River (Bridge ID 022200ZZ7600001) at an estimated cost of $5 704 000 The project
included the replacement of the 1913 portion of the bridge and rehabilitation of the 1955 portion but did
not include accommodations for future light-rail service across the bridge
At City Council's direction City Staff has requested that TxDOT expand the project scope of work from
rehabilitation to full replacement of the bridge which will include accommodations for future light-rail
service Estimated total cost of the expanded project is $23 622,000 The basic cost of a like-kind bridge is
$12,000 000 which is eligible for Federal and State funding (Federal 80 percent, State 10 percent, and City
10 percent) The City is responsible for all ineligible costs for upgrades and enhancements (estimated cost
of $10 000 000) The City is also responsible for 100 percent of any other ineligible costs such as right-of-
way acquisition utility relocation environmental mitigation and any other non-standard construction at an
estimated cost of $1 622 000
As an option under TxDOT's Equivalent-Match program no direct payment by the City is required for the
City's share of the eligible costs of reconstruction of the West 7th Street bridge In lieu of the 10 percent
cash participation for the eligible portion of the project, the City will replace the minor bridge at Cravens
Road over Wildcat Branch (estimated cost $1 023 000) and remove Vickery Boulevard bridge over
Henderson Street (estimated cost $375 000) and also remove Nine Mile bridge over tributary to Lake
Worth (estimated cost $180 000) The 2004 Capital Improvement Program provided $1.2 million for the
West 7th Clear Fork bridge and $325 000 for the Cravens Wildcat Branch bridge The 2008 Capital
Improvement Program included $12 million to fund the City's grant-ineligible portion of the project.
The construction of the West 7th Street bridge will be performed by TxDOT using its funds and its receipt
of Federal pass-through funds. The City will not actually receive direct revenue from either TxDOT or the
Federal government. However the bridge will be owned by the City of Fort Worth after completion Since
the work will be performed by TxDOT the City will record the non-City portion of this project as an In-Kind
contribution on its grant financial records estimated to be $12 000 000
