SCOPE OF SERVICES
ROADWAY IMPACT FEE POLICY DEVELOPMENT
FORT WORTH,TEXAS
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The goal of this project is to develop and implement a Roadway Impact Fee policy for
the City of Fort Worth. The City of Fort Worth has had a Water and Wastewater Impact
Fee policy in place since the early 1990's, which has been updated on multiple
occasions, the last update occurring in August 2004. This scope of services will provide
the City of Fort Worth with the technical analysis required by Chapter 395 of the Texas
Local Government Code to determine the maximum roadway impact fee that may be
assessed; along with providing CITY staff assistance at various presentations required
during the public hearing and adoption process.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
If services beyond those defined in this scope are required, the Parties shall attempt to
negotiate a written amendment to this Agreement. ENGINEER shall not proceed with
work on any additional services prior to the Parties executing a written amendment. The
Scope of Services includes the following primary tasks:
• Task 1 —Project Initiation
• Task 2—Land Use Assumptions
• Task 3—Roadway Impact Fee Analysis
• Task 4—Financial Analysis
• Task 5—Rough Proportionality Policy Development
• Task 6—Development of Roadway Impact Fee, Proportionality Regulations, and
Administrative Guidelines
• Task 7—Public Hearings and Approval Process
Task 1 — Project Initiation
In order to assess a roadway impact fee under Chapter 395 of the Local Government
Code, two major components must be developed for each service area (an area no
greater than six (6) miles in diameter within which impact fees must be collected and
spent): Land Use Assumptions and an Impact Fee Capital Improvements Plan. The
purpose of this task is to establish the roadway service areas within the City of Fort
Worth and determine the service areas for which the maximum assessable impact fee
will be calculated.
Task 1.1 — Data Collection
• The CITY will provide the ENGINEER with the following documents/information:
• Most recent Comprehensive Master Plan;
Roadway Impact Fee Policy Development 1 r_;
• Building permit history (both residential and non-residential) for the previous
ten (10) years;
• Currently adopted Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Reports; and
• Currently adopted Land Use Assumptions for Water and Wastewater Impact
Fees.
• The CITY will provide the ENGINEER the most current ArcGIS shapefiles and
layerfiles for the following datasets (NAD 83 State Plane, North Central Texas
Zone coordinates):
• Most recent City Limits;
• Most recent ETJ Limits;
• Currently adopted Master Thoroughfare Plan; and
• Currently adopted Future Land Use Plan.
Task 1.2—Conduct Policy Development Workshops
• The ENGINEER will prepare for and conduct a project kick-off workshop for
CITY staff to present roadway impact fee fundamentals. The ENGINEER will
facilitate impact fee policy discussion and guidelines applicable to the roadway
impact fee and current City of Fort Worth development guidelines.
• The ENGINEER will prepare for and conduct a workshop with a Developer's
Advisory Committee (or similar group created by the CITY)to discuss the
implementation of roadway impact fees within the City of Fort Worth.
Task 1.3— Establish Roadway Service Area Boundaries
• The ENGINEER, in coordination with the CITY, will develop the roadway service
area boundaries consistent with the six (6) mile limit required by law. The
ENGINEER anticipates 25— 30 service areas will be required to cover the entire
city limits.
• The ENGINEER, in coordination with the CITY, will determine the roadway
service areas under which a maximum assessable impact fee is to be
calculated. Up to eighteen (18)service areas will be included in the impact fee
policy development. The inclusion of more than eighteen (18)service areas will
be considered additional services.
Deliverables
The ENGINEER will develop an ArcGIS shapefile and full-size (34" x 44") color map that
identifies the proposed service area boundaries and those service areas under which a
maximum assessable roadway impact fee will be calculated.
The ENGINEER will prepare five (5) copies of the map for the CITY.
Meetings
The ENGINEER will prepare for and attend up to five (5) meetings with the CITY and
conduct two (2) Roadway Impact Fee workshops during this task.
Roadway Impact Fee Policy Development 2 1 L3
Task 2 — Land Use Assumptions
The ENGINEER will prepare the land use assumption tasks listed below in conformance
with Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code for each of the service areas identified
for analysis in Task 1.3.
Task 2.1 — Existing Land Use Assumptions
• The ENGINEER will prepare the existing land use information in a format
suitable for use in the impact fee policy development. The information will be
presented in tabular form by roadway service area. For each service area,
population (persons and number of dwelling units) and employment (amount of
square footage of basic, service, and retail land uses) will be summarized. The
existing land use assumptions will be completed for the year 2005.
Task 2.2— Build-out Land Use Assumptions
• The ENGINEER will develop the build-out demographics (population and
employment)for the CITY in tabular format for each roadway service area. The
development of these demographics will be an interactive process between the
ENGINEER and CITY staff. Two meetings will be held with CITY during this
task. The first meeting will be to review anticipated densities of development
throughout the CITY, while the second will be to review the demographics
developed by the ENGINEER. The ENGINEER will use the future land use data
collected in Task 1.1 to determine future land uses in undeveloped areas within
the existing CITY limits.
Task 2.3—Ten-Year Land Use Assumptions.
• Chapter 395 states that impact fees may only be used to pay for items included
in the Impact Fee capital improvements plan and attributable to new service
units projected over a period of time not to exceed ten (10) years. Based upon
guidance from the CITY, the ENGINEER will develop the Ten-Year Land Use
Assumptions for the 2006 — 2016 planning window.
• The ENGINEER will conduct one.(1) meeting with the CITY to receive the
projections for anticipated percentage of residential and non-residential land
uses within each service area to be developed within the next ten years. Based
upon the data collected in Task 2.1, the percentage of the projected build out
can be utilized to assist in this task. Using the information collected during this
meeting, the ENGINEER will complete the demographic table for each roadway
service area.
Task 2.4— Land Use Assumptions Report
• The ENGINEER will prepare and submit a draft Land Use Assumptions Report
that documents the methodology and results of the analysis. The report will
include the following information:
• Methodology;
• Roadway Service Areas 'v7
v
Roadway Impact Fee Policy Development 3 ' �' `�`'� '`�"; °i a
• Existing population and employment data by service area;
• Ten-Year (2006 —2016) population and employment data by service area;
• Build-Out population and employment data by service area; and
• Summary Exhibits.
Deliverables
The ENGINEER will develop an electronic(.pdf) copy of the draft Land Use Assumptions
Report for CITY review. The final version of the land use assumptions will be incorporated
into the Roadway Impact Fee report prepared as part of Task 3.
Meetings
The ENGINEER will prepare for and attend up to ten (10) meetings with the CITY during
this task.
Task 3— Roadway Impact Fee Analysis
The ENGINEER will prepare the roadway impact fee analysis tasks listed below in
conformance with Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code for each of the service
areas identified in Task 1.3 for which a maximum assessable roadway impact fee will be
calculated.
Task 3.1 — Data Collection
• The CITY will provide the ENGINEER with available recent traffic count data for
existing thoroughfare facilities located within the service areas identified for
analysis. Additional traffic counts (up to sixty (60) locations)within the CITY
required for use in Task 3.2 will be collected by the ENGINEER.
Task 3.2— 10-Year Growth Projections and Capacity Analysis
• The ENGINEER will perform an analysis of existing conditions within each
service area. This will include a determination of roadway capacities, volumes,
vehicle-miles of supply and demand, existing excess capacity, and existing
deficiencies.
• Using the Ten-Year Land Use Assumptions identified in Task 2.3, the
ENGINEER will project traffic conditions for the ten-year planning period, the
target year for the impact fee growth projections. This will include growth in
service units and new demand by service area. The ENGINEER will determine
the capacity available for new growth within each service area.
• In consultation with the CITY, the ENGINEER will determine land use categories
to be included in the land use vehicle-mile equivalency table.
• The ENGINEER will identify the service units for new development and the
average trip length. Using the 7"' Edition of the Institute of Transportation
Engineer's (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, the ENGINEER will develop updated
trip generation and pass-by trip rates.

Task 3.3 — Roadway Impact Fee Capital Improvements Plan
• The ENGINEER, in coordination with the CITY, will develop a Roadway Impact
Fee Capital Improvements Plan, which will include planning-level project cost
projections for each project to be included in the study. The Roadway Impact
Fee Capital Improvements Plan will include existing oversized facilities and
proposed facilities designed to serve future development. The Roadway Impact
Fee Capital Improvements Plan shall include a general description of each
project and a project cost projection. Planning-level cost projections for future
projects will be prepared based on previous experience with Roadway
construction costs, capital improvement planning, and input from CITY staff. It is
anticipated these project costs will be reviewed by CITY staff and verified as
reasonable costs for CITY capital projects. The CITY shall provide the
ENGINEER with actual CITY cost information for previously completed projects
with excess capacity, and cost contribution information for Developer, County,
State, or Tollway projects.
• The ENGINEER will identify the portion of project improvements required to
serve existing demand and the portion of project improvements required to serve
new development within the 10-year planning period.
Task 3.4— Maximum Assessable Roadway Impact Fee Calculation.
• Using the newly developed 10-year growth projections, roadway impact fee
capital improvements plan, and capacity available for new growth, the
ENGINEER will determine the cost of roadway improvements by service area,
the maximum costs per service unit, and the resulting maximum assessable
roadway impact fees by service area. The ENGINEER will incorporate the
financial analysis performed in Task 4 to determine the maximum assessable
impact fee per service unit.
Task 3.5—Roadway Impact Fee Report.
• The ENGINEER will prepare and submit a draft Roadway Impact Fee Report
that documents the methodology and results of the analysis. The report will
include the following information:
• Methodology;
• Roadway Service Areas;
• Roadway Capital Improvements Plan;
• Impact Fee Calculations;
• Summary Exhibits; and
• Summary Appendices.

units, the financial subconsultant will calculate maximum assessable full-cost
recovery impact fees for the designated ten-year period for roadway facilities.
The financial subconsultant will provide forecasted cash flows for the maximum
assessable impact fee for the ten-year period based on projected capital
improvement program's implementation schedule (if available)and growth in
projected service units. The ENGINEER will work in conjunction with the
financial subconsultant to incorporate the Capital Improvements Plan identified
in Task 3.3.
Deliverables
The results of the financial analysis will be incorporated into the Roadway Impact Fee
report prepared as part of Task 3.
Meetings
The ENGINEER and financial subconsultant will prepare for and attend up to seven (7)
meetings with the CITY during this task.
Task 5—Rough Proportionality Policy Development
Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code prohibits cities from assessing a roadway
impact fee within its extraterritorial jurisdiction. The CITY may, however require dedication
and construction of road improvements under its subdivision powers in the ETJ, and may
charge fees equivalent to road impact fees through development agreements. The 2005
Legislature enacted HB 1835, now in effect, which mandates cities that require developers
to dedicate land, pay fees, or pay construction costs as a condition of development
approval to certify that such contributions are roughly proportionate share to the impacts of
the proposed development. The apportionment of the municipal infrastructure costs are
to be calculated by a professional engineer who is retained by the municipality. While the
CITY may use impact fees to determine proportionality of development exactions inside
city limits, it is necessary to establish a methodology for doing so in the ETJ.
Task 5.1 —Rough Proportionality Areas Determination
• The ENGINEER, in coordination with the CITY, will determine the specific areas of
the City under which to determine a rough proportionality policy. It is anticipated
the ENGINEER will develop a land-use vehicle mile equivalency table in four(4)
areas of the City and ETJ (Northern ETJ,Western ETJ, Southern ETJ, and
Central City). The land use table will provide the number of development units
(i.e. dwelling units, square footage, etc.), trip rate (derived from the 7"' Edition of
Roadway Impact Fee Policy Development 6
the Institute of Transportation Engineer's(ITE) Trip Generation Manuan, and local
trip length (from NCTCOG motorist surveys).
Task 5.2—Rough Proportionality Methodology Development
• The ENGINEER will prepare a proportionality methodology to allow future
development to compare the vehicle-miles of demand created by the new
development versus the vehicle-miles of supply being exacted by the CITY for
each of the areas identified in this task. When the vehicle-miles of demand
exceed the vehicle-miles of supply provided by the new development, the
exactions meet the rough proportionality requirements.
Task 5.3—Rough Proportionality Documentation
• The ENGINEER will prepare and submit a draft Rough Proportionality Report
that documents the methodology and results of the analysis. The report will
include the following information:
• Methodology;
• Proportionality Area exhibits;
• Land-use vehicle mile equivalency tables;
• Sample Calculations; and
• Summary Appendices.
Deliverables
The ENGINEER will develop an electronic(.pdf) copy of the draft Rough Proportionality
report for CITY review. The results of the Rough Proportionality Policy Development will
be incorporated into the Roadway Impact Fee report prepared as part of Task 3.
Meetings
The ENGINEER will prepare for and attend up to ten (10) meetings with the CITY during
this task.
Task 6 - Development of Roadway Impact Fee, Proportionality Regulations and
Administrative Guidelines
The CITY already has in effect impact fee regulations for water and wastewater facilities
and subdivision regulations governing development exactions for road improvements.
The adoption of a roadway impact fee program requires amendment to the existing
standards; particularly in regard to the CITY's obligation under Chapter 395 to meet its
offset and credit requirements (the statute expressly requires that cities credit contributions
of land, fees or improvements for off-site roads against roadway impact fees otherwise
due). Because of the complexity of calculating such credits compared to credits for water
and wastewater facilities, the CITY also may wish to prepare administrative guidelines
addressing such matters. Because state law now requires cities to perform a
proportionality analysis for development exactions, a procedure that allows use of impact
fee methodology or road proportionality methodology to be used for this purpose should
be developed. At the same time, the CITY may wish to provide a framework for entering
Roadway Impact Fee Policy Development 7 - ,
into development agreements for land in the ETJ that incorporates the rough
proportionality study outlined in Task 5.
Task 6.1 —Development of Administrative Guidelines for Roadway Impact Fees
• The ENGINEER shall assist the CITY in developing administrative guidelines for
implementation of the roadway impact fee program, addressing computation of
credits and offsets for pre-existing and future facilities costs required as a
condition of development approval and methods for applying and trackings such
credits and offsets for plats.
Meetings
The ENGINEER will prepare for and attend up to three (3) meetings with the CITY
during this task.
Task 7— Public Hearings and Approval Process
Task 7.1 —Develop Public Information Program
The ENGINEER will work in conjunction with the CITY to develop a public information
program to communicate the proposed impact fee structure to both the general public
and the development community. It is anticipated this program with consist of the
development of up to two (2) different information pamphlets (8.5" x 11"folding style)for
use by the CITY during and after various public meetings and for use in CITY
publications. It is anticipated that the ENGINEER will coordinate with the CITY to
include the information in the appropriate publication. All listing fees associated with
placing ads in newspapers or similar publications will be paid directly by the CITY.
Task 7.2—Approval Process
It is anticipated that the Public Hearing and Approval Process will consist of a number of
meetings as required by Chapter 395, along with additional meetings as required
involving the CITY and interested stakeholders. This task provides for the ENGINEER
and financial subconsultant to prepare for and attend the following meetings:
• Prepare for and attend up to five (5) meetings with the Development Advisory
Committee (or other similar committee established by the CITY) and/or
interested stakeholders to discuss the implementation of the Roadway Impact
Fee and Rough Proportionality Program.
• Prepare for and attend up to (2) CIAC and/or City Council workshops to discuss
the implementation of the Roadway Impact Fee and Proportionality Program.
• Prepare for and attend one (1) Capital Improvement Advisory Committee (CIAC)
Workshop to present fundamentals of Impact Fees, a summary of the Roadway
Impact Fee methodology, and the respective CIP's and Maximum Assessable
Impact Fees.
• Prepare for and attend one (1) CIAC public hearing to present the respective
CIP's and Maximum Assessable Impact Fees.
• Prepare for and attend one (1) City Council workshop to present fundamentals
of Impact Fees, a summary of the Roadway Impact Fee methodology, the
411
77 Roadway Impact Fee Policy Development 8
respective CiP's and Maximum Assessable Impact Fee, the Proportionality
Study for the ETJ, roadway impact fee regulations, and associated development
regulations.
• The ENGINEER will provide assistance to the CITY in developing the Roadway
Impact Fee and Rough Proportionality ordinance(s).
• Prepare for and attend one (1) City Council public hearing to present the Land
Use Assumptions, and the Final Roadway Impact Fee Report, including the
Roadway Impact Fee CIP and Maximum Assessable Impact Fees, and the
Proportionality Study for the ETJ.
• Attend one (1) City Council meeting where it establishes the actual Roadway
Impact Fees Regulations and adopts roadway impact fee regulations,
administrative guidelines and associated development regulations.
Deliverables
The ENGINEER will submit ten (10) copies of the Draft Roadway Impact Fee Report for
distribution to the CIAC and staff. The ENGINEER will submit ten (10) copies of the
Draft Roadway Impact Fee Report for distribution to the City Council and staff.
Upon final approval of the Roadway Impact Fee and Proportionality Ordinance by the
City Council, the ENGINEER will provide one (1) electronic(pdf) copy and twenty (20)
bound copies of the Final Roadway Impact Fee Report, including Land Use

SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution with Contract to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., for the Development of a
Roadway Impact Fee Policy
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Kimley-Horn
and Associates, Inc., in the amount of $660,000 for the development of a roadway impact fee assessment
policy.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council directed the Transportation and Public Works Department to develop a policy of Impact
Fee Assessment as the City's mechanism for funding regional transportation improvements necessitated by
new development. Recent legislation and Texas Supreme Court decisions have limited the City's ability to
require participation in transportation infrastructure improvements in relation to a development's impact on
the transportation system. Additionally, the existing policy provides no mechanism to ensure connections
between improved portions of the transportation network.
A policy of roadway impact fee assessment will allow the City to calculate and collect funds for roadway
capacity improvements in proportion to the traffic impacts of a new development, as required under State
and Federal law. Further, a roadway impact fee policy will allow for the collection of fees from all new
developments in the study area, regardless of their adjacency to or the existing condition of bordering
arterials. Finally, such a policy will allow the City to schedule capacity improvements in order of priority and
in continuous segments designed to be immediately operational.
The Department proposes to enter into a Professional Services contract with Kimley Horn and Associates
Inc., to develop the Roadway Impact Fee Assessment policy.
M/WBE: Kimley Horn and Associates is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to
20% M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 20%.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of
the General Fund.
