Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Special Assessments Fund in the amount of $100,000 from available funds; 2. Authorize the transfer of $100,000 from the Special Assessments Fund to the Critical Capital Projects Fund for the purpose of addressing capital needs; 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Critical Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $100,000 from available funds; and 4. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Engineering Agreement with Wilbur Smith Associates in the amount of $100,000 in order to add four study corridors to the original Agreement as directed by City Council at the August 15, 2006 Pre-Council meeting for a total cost of $770,000. DISCUSSION: The City Council approved the award of a contract in the amount of $670,000.00 with Wilbur Smith Associates on May 17, 2005 (M&C C-20733) to conduct Phase II of the Mobility and Air Quality (MAQ) Plan. Phase II of the MAQ Plan will identify, analyze, and recommend transportation alternatives, and programs for improving mobility and air quality for the City of Fort Worth. Improving mobility and air quality was adopted as one of the City Council's Seven Strategic goals for 2003- 2007. City Council has received two technical briefings on the MAQ Plan. The first briefing was on February 14, 2006 when the Guiding Principles were presented and endorsed by Council. The second briefing was held on August 15, 2006, when the proposed corridors slated for further analysis were presented. Ten corridors were initially recommended by staff for advancement to the next phase of the project, however, City Council directed staff to add two additional east-west corridors. As a result, this M&C is a request for $100,000 to cover these new corridors as the original work scope only included a total of eight. The following is a list of the twelve corridors selected for further analysis: 1) West/Southwest Fort Worth; 2) Cotton Belt SW; 3) South Fort Worth; http ://www.c fwnet.org/council_pacicet/Reports/mc�rint. asp c'� � .1 ,, �.i' 7 � � :. 1., ! ., 1 � ':> �:I � � ,, ;y , I�'�� ;�,-j��",�� , '�, „ V'�� cS:��,�ai: �1' �L� 2 ��V �,�� - ,,'�;,�, l � .. _ .b•r', - - - 1�2�/2��% Page 2 of 3 4) Southeast Fort Worth; 5) East Fort Worth; 6) Cotton Belt NE; 7) North I-35W; 8) North Fort Worth; 9) Northwest Fort Worth; 10) Central Core; 11) Alliance-DFW; 12) South Tarrant; With the identification of corridors complete, staff has turned their attention to developing the range of transportation alternatives that will be modeled and evaluated utilizing the guiding principles previously endorsed by City Council. Upon completion of the evaluation process, the best package of transportation alternatives will be identified and then prioritized in terms of reducing critical congestion, enhancing transit, and improving air quality. The types of alternatives to be examined include: 1) Roadway Improvements (i.e., arterials, HOV/managed lanes, freeways/tollways); 2) Transit Improvements (Rail and Bus); 3) Land Use Alternative (Alternative distribution of population & employment demographics focused on rail lines and infill development areas); 4) Operational Improvements (e.g. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and traffic signalization improvements); 5) Non-motorized Improvements (e.g. pedestrian and bicycle improvements); 6) Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Improvements (e.g. ride sharing, vanpooling); The next steps in the Mobility and Air Quality Planning process will be: 1) Nove_mber 2006 to March 2007 — Evaluate each of the alternatives in terms of performance relative to the Guiding Principles and perForm a corridor-level analysis to measure "before and after" effects of transportation alternatives; 2) April 2007 - Public Meeting on evaluation results and obtain feedback on what preferred plan should be; 3) May/June 2007 — Presentation to Council including evaluation results, public comments, and staff recommendations. Feedback from Council will be used to assemble preferred plan of transportation projects and policies including identification of priority projects; 4) June 2007 - Prepare a preliminary implementation and financial plan for the preferred plan; 5) July 2007 - Public Meeting to establish/confirm project priorities; 6) August 2007 - Council consideration of preliminary implementation and financial plan and adoption of Mobility and Air Quality Plan; Wilbur Smith Associates is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to an additional 14 percent M/WBE participation on this amendment. The City's goal on this Amendment No. 1 is 14 percent. 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 Critical Capital Projects fund. �'�r �l'L� 1�'`:� l .�:'S�� V �� o, ��`�'�/' `�i'�';�iC�(,;� rr,; :!t. i http://www.cfwnet.org/council�acicet/Repoi-ts/mc�rint.asp r�' `��'°�`��Uti� �� 1/26/2007 TO Fund/Account/Centers � $100,000.00 GS94 488032 020940099050 � $100,000.00 GS94 541200 020940099050 2&3 $100,000.00 C116 472094 020116021226 � $100,000.00 C116 472094 020116021226 S_ ubmitted for City Manager's Office by_ Originating.
