SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of aConstruction-Manager-at-Risk Agreement with Thos. S. Byrne, Ltd., for the
Construction of the New Downtown Parking Garage and Adopt Appropriation Ordinances
- ~.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the Culture and
Tourism Fund by $3,254,463.00 and decreasing the unaudited, unreserved, undesignated fund balance by
the same amount;
2. Authorize the City Manager to transfer $3,254,463.00 from the Culture and Tourism Fund to the Parking
Garage Capital Project Fund;
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Parking Garage Capital Project Fund in the amount of $3,254,463.00 from available funds; and
4. Authorize aConstruction-Manager-at-Risk (CMAR) agreement with Thos. S. Byrne, Ltd. (TSB), in the
amount of $22,965,032.00 for the construction of a new downtown parking garage.
DISCUSSION:
On October 13, 2005, a request for proposal was issued for a CMAR firm to participate in the design
process and lead the construction process for the construction of a new downtown City parking garage. A
city staff selection panel identified TSB as the best qualified CMAR firm. On January 24, 2006, (M&C C-
21271) City Council authorized a consultant agreement with Jacobs Facilities Inc. (Jacobs) for the design
and construction administration of this parking garage. On that same date, the City Council approved a
Pre-Construction Services Agreement (M&C C-21272) with TSB for pricing, value-engineering, and
constructability review services associated with the design of a new downtown parking garage.
Jacobs submitted the 100 percent construction design, and based on that a Final Guaranteed Maximum
Price of $22,965,032 has been negotiated with TSB.
The estimated overall cost of the project is:

$1,275,000.00
$25,000.00

Thos. S. Byrne has committed to 30 percent overall M/WBE participation on the parking garage project and
is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance. The City's goal on this project is 30 percent.
Funding for this project is coming from two sources: 1) Cultural and Tourism Fund has set aside
$5,400,000, of which $2,145,537 has already been appropriated (M&C's C-21271, C-21272, and C-
21546), leaving a balance of $3,254,463 to be appropriated with this M&C. 2) M&C G-15621 approved
appropriation of $22,030,000 for the parking garage; $20,500,000 will be used to fund construction with
this M&C and the balance of $1,530,000 is available to begin .repayment of the bond debt until the parking
garage begins to generate revenue.
Projects of this magnitude typically include at least 5 percent construction contingency. This project has a
much lower contingency than typical (less than 1/2 percent) at this point to allow inclusion of all alternates
related to the appearance of the garage. Examples of alternates accepted include embedded conduits for
lighting and sound systems to be installed under a separate public art contract; the use of colored glass
rather than tinted glass; and replacing a translucent canopy with a colored glass canopy. Avalue-
engineering proposal to delete the thin brick veneer for a credit of $365,000 has not been accepted. If
additional funds are needed for contingency purposes, it is recommended that the thin brick veneer be
deleted from the contract scope and those funds be used for contingency change orders.
The project is physically located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9, but will serve Fort Worth residents in all Council
Districts.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of
the Parking Garage Fund. The unaudited, unreserved, designated fund balance of the Culture and
Tourism Fund will be $13,957,899 after this appropriation.
