DISCUSSION:
The project will provide for the development of a Comprehensive Master Plan for the Will Rogers
Memorial Center (WRMC). The existing Cultural District Master Plan was developed between 1998 and
2000 to identify infrastructure, parking, mobility, and access deficiencies in the entire district.
Improvements that were addressed in the plan that have been completed include the Casa Manana
renovation, Museum of Science and History renovation, a portion of the Harley Avenue realignment, and
the Western Heritage Parking Garage.
The proposed WRMC Master Plan will complement this effort by providing a systematic analysis of the
current WRMC facilities and developing alternatives for improvements. The process will include a facilities
assessment and solicitation of input from users and stakeholders in the equestrian market. As examples,
projects could include barn upgrades, restroom and concession renovations, and accessibility for people
with disabilities. Respect for existing historic elements will also be a key objective.
The Comprehensive Master Plan is a combined effort between the City of Fort Worth and Event Facilities
Fort Worth, Inc., (EFFW). The cost of the overall proposal for the complete master plan is $187,415.00.
After discussions between the City and EFFW regarding the detailed scope of the Master Plan, it was
agreed that the City would fund $104,642.50 and EFFW would contribute $82,772.50 through a separate
contract with Hahnfeld Hoffer & Stanford, L.L.C., (HHS).
This M &C will authorize an Agreement with HHS that complements the EFFW agreement and completes
the overall project scope. HHS has designed a large number of the buildings within the Will Rogers
Memorial Center, including the Amon G. Carter Jr, Exhibits Hall, Burnett Building, Richardson -Bass

Building, and Charlie & Kit Moncrief Building, and has been involved in continual upgrades to the entire
campus. Given its vast experience at the Will Rogers Memorial Center, HHS possesses the necessary
skills, historical knowledge, and understanding of our client's needs to assist the Public Events
Department and EFFW in bringing the WRMC Master Plan to a successful conclusion.
The estimated cost of the conceptual design phase is:
