Page 1 of 2 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 3/29/2005 - Ordinance No. 16356-03-2005 DATE: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 LOG NAME: 20ZIPPER REFERENCE NO.: **C-20624 SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of an Inter-Fund Loan from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to the Certificate of Obligation Special Project Fund for Expenses Related to the Purchase of and Design of Renovations to the Zipper Building to Accommodate the City's Information Technology Solutions and Finance Departments; Adoption of an Appropriation Ordinance; and Execution of a Design Agreement with the Waddill Group Architectural Firm RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize a non-interest bearing, inter-fund loan from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund (CPRF) to the Certificate of Obligation Special Project Fund in the amount of $202,000 for interim financing of expenses related to the purchase of and design of renovations to, the Zipper Building, pending the sale of Certificates of Obligation; 2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated reciepts and appropriations in the Certificate of Obligation Special Project Fund by $202,000, from available funds; and 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute a design agreement in an amount not to exceed $148,500 with the Waddill Group architectural firm for the design of renovations to the Zipper Building. DISCUSSION: On March 8, 2005 City Council passed an ordinance authorizing the publication of a Notice of Intent for the sale of Certificate's of Obligation (CO) to fund the purchase and renovation of the building at 1111 Monroe Street, commonly referred to as the Zipper Building. The building, once renovated, will accommodate the majority of the employees of the City's Finance and Information Technology Solutions Departments who currently office in City Hall. These relocations are required in order to provide space in City Hall for the establishment of a Building Permit Center, as well as to correct other City Hall space deficiencies. The Council will shortly receive a Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) recommending Council approval of the sale of COs to fund the purchase and renovation of the Zipper Building. However, even if formally approved by Council via M&C, the funds from the sale of the COs will not be available for use until mid-May 2005. Due to the urgency of City Hall space deficiencies, City staff recommends a $202,000 loan from the CPRF to cover a $52,000 deposit of earnest money for the building purchase and allow the initiation of architectural design work for the renovations to the Zipper Building. This loan will allow the building purchase and architectural design processes to move forward concurrently with the financing process. Once received, the CO proceeds will be used to repay the CPRF for the loan. The Waddill Group architectural firm did some preliminary space studies for the current owner of the Zipper Building several months ago when the City was considering leasing the 2nd floor. Due to its familiarity with the building layout and the City's basic needs, the Waddill Group is in a position to significantly expedite the design process. City staff confirmed the Waddill Group's excellent qualifications for the project through a http://www.cfwnet.org/council_packet/Reports/mc_print.asp 8/25/2006 Page 2 of 2 review of its project experience and reference checks. The base fee for architectural services is $135,000. In addition the contract includes a provision for reimbursement of miscellaneous design related expenses in an amount not to exceed $13,500. The $150,000 being appropriated at this time for design related expenses also includes $1,500 for City staff charges related to the design work. The Waddill Group is in compliance with the City's MWBE program by committing to meet the 30% goal established for this project. The Zipper Building is in Council District 9. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the CO Special Project Fund. The cash balance of the CPRF after this transfer will be $1,869,258. The fiscal year end cash balance at this time is projected to be $1,787,442.
