DATE: Tuesday, October 23, 2018 REFERENCE NO.: **C-28904
LOG NAME: 20APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE RAILROAD CROSSING MAINTENANCE
SUBJECT:
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance to Continue Funding Temporary Railroad Crossing Maintenance for the N.
Henderson Street and N. Commerce Street Fort Worth and Western Railroad Crossings as Authorized
Under City Secretary Contract No. 49230-A1 (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Appropriation Ordinance increasing,estimated
receipts and appropriations in the Intergovernmental Contribution Fund in the amount of$48,000.00 to
continue funding temporary railroad crossing maintenance for the N. Henderson Street and N. Commerce
Street Fort Worth and Western Railroad crossings as authorized under City Secretary Contract No.
49230-A1.
DISCUSSION:
On October 4, 2013, the City entered into a Compromise Settlement Agreement for TRV Bridges (City
Secretary Contract (CSC) No. 44950) with the Fort Worth and Western Railroad Company (FWWRR)
whereby the City agreed to maintain the temporary crossings at N. Henderson Street and N. Commerce
Street. The temporary at-grade crossings are required for construction of the N. Henderson Street and
North Main Street bridges in conjunction with the Trinity River Vision Central City Project.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the City agreed to pay for monthly maintenance/inspections
until the temporary at-grade crossings are no longer required for the TRV bridges. CTC Inc., was engaged
to provide the required maintenance and inspection of the N. Henderson Street and N. Commerce Street
crossings and crossing warning systems since they were already providing similar services at other
locations within the City (City Secretary Contract No. 44661). The Maintenance Contract was renewed by
the City on June 26, 2017, (City Secretary Contract No. 49230).
On September 18, 2018, the City executed Amendment No.1 (City Secretary No. 49230-A1) to the
referenced maintenance contract with the intent that the amendment would remain in full force and renew
annually for as long as necessary, but shall terminate when the City ceases using the temporary crossings
for regular vehicular traffic.
It has been determined that the temporary at-grade railroad crossings will need to remain in operation for
construction of the bridges until October 2020 (approximately 24 months). CTC's monthly charges for
maintenance/inspection services are $2,000.00/month.
The requested $48,000.00 amount is considered TRV-related. Having met its $26.6 million commitment to
the TRV Project, the City will be reimbursed the full amount of$48,000.00 by the Tarrant Regional Water
District (TRWD). Staff will record a receivable every month for reimbursable expenses and the TRV
Program Manager in the Planning and Development Department will be responsible for collecting the full
reimbursement from TRWD upon project completion. Once reimbursement is received, the revenue will be

receipted to the Intergovernmental Contribution Fund.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 9 and will benefit the entire City.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION I CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance 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 Intergovernmental Contribution Fund. The Planning and Development Department will be responsible
for the collection of these funds.
