North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) for receipt of a Sustainable Development Project
Grant for the West Berry Streetscape Improvements Project (Project) in the amount of $2,400,000.00 with
a required 20 percent local match of $400,000.00.

construction, which consists of the following improvements: narrowing and reconstructing West Berry
Street between Waits Avenue (the western terminus of the initial phase of the Project) to just west of, and
including the intersection with University Drive, installing bulb -outs and on- street parking and constructing
new sidewalks and medians with concrete paver accents, enhanced crosswalks, roadway and pedestrian
lighting, street furniture, street trees and landscaping.

The $1,902,297.65 second phase West Berry Streetscape Improvements construction is funded by the
original NCTCOG Sustainable Development Program grant administered by the City. The $74,703.20
traffic signal costs are funded by a Regional Transportation Commission Local Air Quality grant from
NCTCOG as discussed in M &C C- 22903.
Additional funding for the retrofitting of transit passenger landings along West Berry Street will be provided
by the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T).
The total estimated City cost of inspection, survey, material testing, is $216,487.39 construction
management, $77,264.00 and a 10 percent contingency of $198,037.39 for a total of $491,788.78 is
funded by the 2004 Capital Improvement Program New Development Fund.
The annual budget impact for Parks and Community Services Department maintenance is estimated to be
minimal, as Texas Christian University has agreed to maintain the new landscaping work as they have
done on the previous phase of the Project.
During the design of the second phase of the Project, The T requested a retrofit for transit passenger
landing improvements associated with the previous completed phase of streetscape improvements along
West Berry (Waits Avenue to Forest Park Boulevard) completed in 2008. The T has committed to provide
funding for design, bidding services, and construction in the amount of $11,183.00 for new passenger
landings along West Berry between Greene Avenue and Merida Street on this next phase of the Project.
Upon approval of this Mayor and Council Communication (M &C), City Staff will work with The T to execute
an inter -local Agreement defining the agency responsibilities and expenses related to this project.
As part of the required local match for the Sustainable Development Project grant, City Council authorized
the acceptance of $139,101.00 as an in -kind contribution and $60,369.00 in monetary funds from Texas
Christian University (TCU), (M &C G- 15992). TCU completed all work associated with their $139,101.00 in-
kind improvements within the public ROW in front of the TCU Barnes and Noble Bookstore, but it was later
determined by NCTCOG that the work could not be counted towards the in -kind requirement as the
project was not eligible under the grant guidelines.
The $60,369.00 in monetary funds from TCU will still be used as part of the local match with the remaining
$139,101.00 being covered by the City's contribution from the 2004 Capital Improvement Program New
Development Fund, also authorized under the aforementioned M &C.
