SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of a Construction Contract with McClendon Construction Co., Inc., in the Amount of
$656,121.17 for Parking Renovations at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden and Adopt Appropriation
Ordinance (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations by
$150,000.00 in the Park Gas Lease Project Fund; and
2. Authorize execution of a construction contract with McClendon Construction Co., Inc., in the amount of

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M &C) is to authorize the execution of a
construction contract with McClendon Construction, Co., Inc., in the amount of $656,121.17 for Parking
Renovations at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden (Botanic Garden) and to approve the appropriation of gas
well revenues in the amount of $150,000.00.
The 2004 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Proposition One: Street and Storm Sewer Improvements,
allocated $5,050,000.00 for parking lot and road replacement projects in area parks with $535,000.00
allocated for the Botanic Garden. Additionally, gas bonus funds are being appropriated in the amount of
$150,000.00. The total of all funds available for improvements to this facility amount to $685,000.00.
In 2005, the City entered into a Lease Agreement for property adjacent to Deborah Beggs Moncrief
Garden Center at the Botanic Garden (M &C L- 14012), with Botanical Research Institute of Texas, Inc.,
(BRIT) for the development of a new headquarters. As part of the construction of the new facility, BRIT
constructed a new 258 space parking lot (north lot) that is being used jointly by BRIT and patrons of the
Botanic Garden. At the core of the parking and sustainability design is the capture and reuse of storm
water to sustain the garden and reduce water usage for irrigation. The City intends for this facility to serve
as a demonstration project for best practices in the collection, handling and reuse of storm water runoff.
On December 14, 2010, (M &C C- 24660) the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a
Community Facilities Agreement (CFA) with the BRIT. The CFA (City Secretary Contract No. 41815)
engages BRIT to provide the construction plans and specifications for the south lot at the Botanic Garden
that will visually compliment the north parking lot.
