Authorize acceptance and execution of a Legislative Pre - disaster Mitigation Funding Agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00 to provide funding for property acquisition, demolition and reconstruction of the Dewey Street bridge for the Lebow Channel Roadway Crossings project; 2. Authorize the transfer of $333,333.33 from the Storm Water Capital Projects 2009 Bond Fund to the Grant Capital Projects Fund to be used towards the local match; and 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grant Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $1,333,333.33. DISCUSSION: The agreement recommended by this M &C will allow the City to accept a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in an amount up to $1,000,000.00, for the Lebow Channel Roadway Crossing (Dewey Street only) project, and provide the minimum required matching funds from the City in the amount of $333,333.33 which is being funded with Storm Water 2009 Revenue Bonds. The drainage improvements are needed to reduce the risk of property and street flooding in the area as part of a multi -phase plan to be implemented over the next 10 -15 years to mitigate flood risk along Lebow Channel. In December 2007, Congresswoman Kay Granger identified the City of Fort Worth as being eligible for a grant under the Legislative Pre - Disaster Mitigation (LPDM) Program from FEMA, pending application by the City and approval by FEMA, for the Lebow Channel Drainage Improvement project. On May 11, 2011, the State of Texas and FEMA approved the City's application for funding. The Department of Homeland Security, through FEMA, will make funding available for property acquisition, demolition of structures, and reconstruction of the Dewey Street bridge for the portion of the Lebow Channel Roadway Crossings project related to the Dewey Street bridge crossing. Two other bridge crossings included in the Lebow Channel Roadway Crossings project — 28th Street and Brennan Logname: 20FEMA_GRANT_LEBOW_CROSSING Page I of 2 Avenue — are not eligible for reimbursement under this grant award. As a condition of the federal grant, and to remain eligible for continued funding, the Dewey Street project must be completed within three years of award of the grant (two years plus one -year extension). The property acquisition has already begun, with final closing and relocation projected to occur in six -12 months. The demolition phase will begin after acquisition and relocation of existing occupants, and will be completed in approximately 12 -18 months. The design and permitting phases, although not in the FEMA grant reimbursement, are projected to be completed in 12 -18 months as well. The construction phase is projected to begin in approximately 18 months and be completed before the expiration of the three -year FEMA time limit. The federal grant is for an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00 and will be funded on a reimbursement basis. The terms of the grant require that the City of Fort Worth provide at least a 25 percent match for all eligible expenses, resulting in a 75 percent/25 percent split between FEMA/City for eligible expenses. The City will be responsible for any additional costs. The project funding consists of the following: Land /Property £$ 612,000.00 '$ 459,000.00 i $153,000.00 Acquisition _....._......___..._._ ..., Demolition $mm80,000.00 _. . $ 60,000.00 _. $ 20,000.00 Construction $ 6._1, 41,333 33 _ __......_ _ $ 481,000.00 ........ $160,333.33 TOTAL . $ 1,333,333.33 _ ___.... _. ...w_..._... $ 1,000,000.00 _. �.... $333,333.33 FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, receipt of the grant, and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Grant Capital Projects Fund.
