CODE C
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement in the Amount of $320,000 00 with

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize an Engineering Agreement in the amount of
$320,000.00 with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., for design oversight and project management
services on North Tarrant Express Projects IH-820 from IH-35 to Southwestern Railroad, and DART
Railroad Crossing.
DISCUSSION:
On June 23, 2009, Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) entered into a 10-year Agreement
with North Tarrant Express Mobility Partners (NTEMP) to identify and construct highway
improvements in northeastern part of Tarrant County including portions of the IH-35W, IH-820 and
SH-183 corridors within the City.
On July 20, 2011, the City administratively executed an Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates
(KHA) (City Secretary No. 42003) to perform project oversight for the relocation of the City's 36 inch
water line at the North Beach Street and IH-820 interchange. This Segment 1 of the NTEMP work is
related to the expansion of IH-820 from IH-35W eastward toward DFW Airport to the City Limits at
approximately the DART Railroad line and is the subject of the Master Utility Adjustment Agreement
(MUAA) between the City of Fort Worth, TXDOT, NTEMP and Bluebonnet Contractors, LLC (M&C C-
25259, November 1, 2011).
As NTEMP continues to expand the highway project, it becomes necessary that the City will need
additional engineering and project management services on the North Tarrant Express project. Tasks
to be performed include:
Engineering design services.
Project meetings with City, stake holders, contractors, other consultants and citizens.
Plan reviews of drawings provided by contractor or other engineers
Project management.
Coordination with City, project stakeholders other consultants or citizens.
Construction support services Attend preconstruction meetings, on -site observations, construction
progress meetings and shop drawing review.
In addition, a project scope will be developed for water and sanitary sewer relocations for IH-35W
between IH-30 and IH-820.
KHA is in compliance with the City's M/WBE ordinance by committing to 56 percent M/WBE
participation. The City's goal on this project is 40 percent.
In addition to the contract amount, $10,000.00 is required for project management by City Staff.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 4
