SUBJECT:
Authorize Transfer of Funds, Authorize Execution of An Architectural Agreement with Freese and
Nichols, Inc., for the Design of the Citizen Drop-Off Station at 6250 Old Hemphill Road and Adopt
Appropriation Ordinance
~.-
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $1,700,000 from the Solid Waste Fund to the Specially Funded Capital Projects
Fund;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund by $1,700,000 from available funds; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute a design and construction administration services contract with
Freese and Nichols, Inc., in the amount not-to-exceed $131,000 for the Citizen Drop-Off Station at 6250 Old
Hemphill Road (the Southside Drop-Off Station).
DISCUSSION:
The firm of Freese and Nichols, Inc., was part of the original Design-Build contractor team and they
designed the first two stations. The Brennan Drop-Off Station was completed in the Fall 2005 and the
Southeast Drop-Off Station was completed in the Winter 2005.
As the Southside Drop-Off Station is very similar in layout to the first two drop-off stations, staff
recommends that Freese and Nichols, Inc., be selected as the architectural/engineering firm for this project
at a cost of $131,000. Additional M&Cs will follow for the construction phase.
The FY 2006-07 Solid Waste Operating Budget included funds for the operation of the new drop-off
stations. As a result of delays in siting, design, and construction, funds were not spent on operations and
are available for the construction of the Southside Drop-Off Station. Staff recommends transferring the
funds designated for operation of the new drop-off station to the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund.
The estimated overall cost of the project is:
Design $131,000.00
Construction $1,300,000.00
ITS, Geotech, Testing $137,000.00
Contingency, FF&E, staff administration &132.000.00
Total $1,700,000.00

Freese and Nichols, Inc. is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 22 percent
M/WBE participation. The City's goal for this project is 21 percent.
The project is physically located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6 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 Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund.
