INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No. 10210

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO 2. TO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH
NORTHWEST INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT RELATED TO
CONSTRUCTION OF BLUE MOUND ROAD WEST AND WILLOW
SPRINGS ROAD
In 2014, the City of Fort Worth entered into an Interlocal Agreement with NISD to assume responsibility
for the construction of Blue Mound Road West and Willow Springs Road and the city hired Pacheco Koch
to finish the construction plans. In 2017, the project expanded scope and the City of Fort Worth has been
working with TxDOT to provide traffic relief at the adjacent US 287 Interchange until federal funds are
available for TxDOT to do the long term necessary improvements. The City of Fort Worth accepted the
low bidder of $7,215,420.75 by McClendon Construction for the Blue Mound and Willow Springs phases
st
of the project in October 2018. A 1 Amendment to the ILA was done in 2018 to define the NISD
contribution to the construction. A summary of the City of Fort Worth funding for the three phases of the
project has been provided below.
To improve the safety of their students, NISD began working with TxDOT in Fall 2017 to improve the
frontage road adjacent to V.R. Eaton High School, Carl E. Schluter Elementary and Leo Adams Middle
School. The existing frontage road is a two way frontage road with the Southbound US 287 on-ramp
access the on-ramp while leaving the schools. NISD proposed to relocate the US 287 on-ramp south of
their access to the frontage road at Eagle Boulevard.
NISD would fund the design of the construction plans from Teague Nall and Perkins and the materials for
construction. Tarrant County would cover the cost of labor to construct the new on-ramp. The relocation
of the on-ramp will also include changing the frontage road South of Blue Mound Road and West of US
287 to be one way Southbound. NISD has started the construction of the new on-ramp as of December 3,
2018 and expect to be complete by April 2019.

SPRINGS ROAD
In late October 2018, NISD approached the City of Fort Worth to share the cost in the relocation of the on-
ramp and city staff recommended this was a benefit and a cost savings to the City of Fort Worth project at
the interchange. The total cost in the design and materials for construction is $862,332 and city staff
concluded that a 50/50 share with NISD fit in the budget of the funds approved for The City of Fort Worth
project. Below is a summary of the history of the Interlocal Agreement and the funding from NISD.
City staff anticipates a surplus in 2018 Bond Funds toward the Blue Mound Road West, Willow Springs
Road and the Blue Mound Road West and US 287 Interchange project. With the additional $431,166
contribution towards the on-ramp relocation, city staff expects to be under budget and still meet the original
expectations of the project.
