Mayor an ouncil ommunication
DATE: Tuesday, December 04, 2012 REFERENCE NO.: **C-25989
LOG NAME: 80LAKE WORTH TRAIL PHASE I FREESE AND NICHOLS
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with Freese and Nichols Inc., in the Amount of
$293,328.00 for Design Services for the Lake Worth Preliminary Trail Design and Adopt Appropriation
Ordinances (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Lake Worth Gas Lease Capital Improvement Fund in the amount of $300,000.00 from Gas Well
Revenues;
2. Authorize the transfer in the amount of $300,000.00 from the Lake Worth Gas Lease Capital
Improvement Fund to the Park Gas Lease Project Fund;
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Park Gas Lease Project Fund in the amount of $300,000.00; and
4. Authorize the execution of an engineering Agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc., for engineering
services associated with the Lake Worth Preliminary Trail Design in an amount not to exceed
$293,328.00.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to provide authorization for the execution
of an engineering Agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc. (Freese and Nichols), in the amount of
$293 328.00 to develop a preliminary trail design along the perimeter of Lake Worth from the Lake Worth
dam to Camp Joy Park (see Exhibit A). Trail segments 1-7 and 9-13 of the Lake Worth Trail Routing Study
are included in this contract.
On January 8, 2008, (M&C G-16013) the City Council amended the Gas Well Revenue Distribution Policy
to allow for revenues derived from lease bonuses and royalties from properties in and around Lake Worth
to be used for the execution of the 2007 Lake Worth Capital Improvements Implementation Plan. One of
the major projects of this plan is the Lake Worth Dredging Project. In March 2008, Freese and Nichols was
selected for the Phase 1 services. During contract negotiations, the decision was made to execute the
design of the Lake Worth Dredging Project Phase 1 in two parts as a cost saving strategy due to the
complexities of acquiring a permit through the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE).
On December 16, 2008, (M&C C-23262) the City Council authorized an engineering Agreement with
Freese and Nichols in the amount of $1,519,279 00 for the initial design of the Lake Worth Dredging
Project Phase 1. Under this contract Freese and Nichols produced a preliminary Trail Route Study for the
hike and bike trail around Lake Worth This preliminary study will be used to define the scope of the final
trail layout and design.
Logname: 80LAKE WORTH TRAIL PHASE I_FREESE AND NICHOLS Page 1 of 2
This Agreement will relate to the Lake Worth Trail Routing Study dated June 9, 2011 that Freese and
Nichols produced for the City of Fort Worth Water Department and includes trail segments 1-7 and trail
segments 9-13. Trail segments 1-7 include tying into the Trinity Trail at Meandering Road (Mapsco 60L)
running along the southeastern and eastern edge of Lake Worth to Lake Worth Marina Park (Mapsco
45V). Trail segments 9-13 include beginning at Casino Beach Park West continuing along the nothern
edge of Lake Worth to Camp Joy Park. The total combined length of trail segments 1-7 and trail segments
9-13 is 11.02 miles.
Freese and Nichols is in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by committing to 25 percent SBE
participation on this project. The City's SBE goal on this project is 25 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances funds will be available in the current capital budget,
as appropriated, of the Park Gas Lease Project Fund.
