DISCUSSION: The Harley Avenue Re- alignment Project was approved as part of the 2004 Capital Improvement Program. Since that time, staff has been working with Event Facilities Fort Worth, Inc., (EFFW) to advance this project that supports and enhances the operations of both the Will Rogers Memorial Center and the Logname: 06HARLEY DESIGN PHASE 2 Pagel of 3 ForfWorth Exposition and Stock Show. The most recent activities include the following City Council actions: M &C C -24298 (6 -22- 2010_) This action provided for the construction of water, sewer, paving and drainage improvements in Harley Avenue from University Drive to Rip Johnson (Harley Phase 1). These improvements supported the construction of the Multi- Purpose Equestrian Center currently under construction M &C G -17104 (11 -09 -2010) This action approved revisions to the City's Master Thoroughfare Plan for Harley Avenue between Rip Johnson and Montgomery Street. This alignment supports the proposed private parking facilities proposed by EFFW and provides appropriate access for a future arena site. M &C C -24801 (03 -22 -2011) This action approved the execution of a $4.5 million reimbursement agreement with Tarrant County for the County's support of the design and construction of Harley Phase 2. In order to advance the Harley Phase 2 project into construction immediately following the 2012 Stock Show, Event Facilities has offered to advance the design and construction as a developer project. Event Facilities has negotiated with Freese & Nichols, Inc., and Dunaway Associates, Inc., to provide construction plans for the project. Staff has reviewed the proposed fee and finds it fair and reasonable for the services provided. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the execution of a design procurement agreement upon delivery of the final approved construction plans. The roadway design elements will be funded with $300,000.00 from available bond proceeds from the 2004 CIP and $69,800.00 from undesignated gas well revenues. The storm drain design elements will be funded from available operating funds from the Stormwater Utility. Staff anticipates returning to the City Council for authorization to execute an Infrastructure Construction Agreement with EFFW for Harley Phase 2 after public bids are received in October, 2011. This schedule will allow the project to proceed to construction as anticipated in February of 2012. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current capital budgets, as appropriated, of the Storm Water Capital Projects Fund and the Street Improvement Fund.
