ATTACHMENT A: Scope of Work
Scope of Work
for Consultant to Prepare a Transit -Oriented Development
(TOD) Plan and Implementing Form -Based Code for the
TCU/Berry Station Area
BACKGROUND:
The City of Fort Worth was granted funding for the TCU/Berry Station planning project through the North
Central Texas Council of Government's 2009-2010 Sustainable Development Call for Projects.
Together, the City of Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T), Texas Christian
U niversity (TCU), and the Berry Street Initiative have partnered to create a transit -oriented development
(TOD) plan and implementable form -based code for the TCU/Berry Station area.
The TCU/Berry Station will be located near the southwest corner of the intersection of West Berry Street
and Cleburne Road on the Fort Worth and Western Railroad (FWWR). This station is expected to draw
residents, employees, business patrons and students from the surrounding area. The station site is
within one -quarter mile walking distance of Paschal High School and West Berry Street retail
development, and within one mile of the TCU campus. The project is located on the planned Tarrant
Express Rail (TEX Rail) formerly known as the Southwest -to -Northeast Rail Corridor. The commuter
rail corridor is a 37-mile long line between far southwest Fort Worth and the Dallas -Fort Worth (DFW)
International Airport. From southwest Fort Worth, the rail corridor passes through the TCU and Medical
District areas, into downtown Fort Worth (with connections to the Trinity Railway Express commuter rail
line), then through northeast Fort Worth and several suburban communities in Tarrant County, including
downtown Grapevine, and finally into the north end of the DFW Airport terminals.
P ast studies of the area have identified constraints and opportunities for redevelopment, as well as
provisions for commuter rail. In 2007, the City of Fort Worth adopted a master plan for the
Berry/University Urban Village to describe and facilitate desired future development and to make
recommendations that promote quality urban development throughout the urban village. At the same
time, The T initiated the TEX Rail project and its Environmental Impact Statement/Preliminary
Engineering process. During this process, The T created a station area plan that recommended
guiding principles and established a framework plan for the area immediately surrounding the proposed
station
More recently, the City of Fort Worth commenced a consultant -led stormwater feasible option study to
evaluate flood prevention alternatives within the TCU/Berry Station area and its surrounding watershed.
This study identified some general recommendations for stormwater detention/retention and
conveyance that could create a unique opportunity to include stormwater management features as
significant urban amenities for the higher density community that is envisioned around the TCU/Berry
Station. The City of Fort Worth is continuing to study options for effective stormwater management in
the TCU/Berry Station area.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
PRIMARY WORK PRODUCTS
The end product of this study will be an adoption -ready transit -oriented development (TOD) plan and
implementable form -based code for the TCU/Berry Station. The project boundaries are depicted in the
attached map, and generally include the area within up to a one-half mile radius from the TCU/Berry
Station platform as well as the Berry Street corridor connecting the station to Texas Christian University
(TCU) via the Berry/University Urban Village.
The form -based code created through this project is intended to supersede the present zoning
ordinance and other local land development regulations as they apply to the TCU/Berry Station area
This form -based code is to be consistent with the definitions/terminology development principles, format
and administrative procedures established by other adopted form -based codes in the City of Fort Worth
(Trinity Uptown, the Near Southside and Camp Bowie).
INITIAL REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
1. Staff and Stakeholder Interviews. The Consultant will interview appropriate stakeholders affected
by or involved with the project. Groups and individuals to be interviewed should include elected
officials Berry Street Initiative members, property owners neighborhood representatives, local
design professionals developers, business(es), neighboring educational institutions, The T staff
and City of Fort Worth staff. City staff, with the input from the Consultant, will arrange and schedule
the appropriate interview panels.
2. GIS and Site Location Analysis. The Consultant will become familiar with the physical details of
the TCU/Berry Station area including stormwater and other infrastructure needs and the existing
patterns of development and architecture in the surrounding neighborhoods. The City will provide
the Consultant with GIS shapefiles of the area and known utilities along with the relevant studies
and reports outlined below to guide the TOD planning.
• TCU/Berry Station Area Plan (including market study component and design principles).
• The Goodman Corp 2000 Concept Plan for the Berry Street Redevelopment Program.
• TCU Study of Economic Impact of Paschal High School.
• Berry/University Urban Village Master Plan, adopted December 2007.

• Stormwater Feasible Options Study (Forest Park/Berry section).
• Trinity Uptown, the Near Southside and Camp Bowie form -based codes (for the purpose of
developing the TCU/Berry form -based code appropriately consistent with the previous
adopted form -based codes.).
3. Website and Other Outreach. The Consultant will provide information for the City of Fort Worth's
website and prepare public presentation boards. As City officials deem appropriate the Consultant
will provide materials including text photographs GIS maps renderings, and other images for
public presentation boards and for the website in JPEG or other formats identified by the City. This
material will describe the Consultant's credentials and help explain the project s process, progress,
and work products The website will provide opportunities for input and notifications and serve as a
primary source of information for local citizens.
Deliverables:
A. Summary of Stakeholder Meetings to be included in the TOD Plan Appendix.

PUBLIC DESIGN PROCESS
1. Generate Necessary Background Maps. The City of Fort Worth will provide necessary GIS
base map shapefiles as needed to the Consultant. These materials will be used to produce the
maps that will be used during the preparation of the TOD plan and form -based code
2 Public Workshops and/or Design Charrette. The Consultant will organize and lead design
workshops or a full charrette process to engage the community, gather ideas and develop
goals, and formulate implementation strategies. The Consultant will tailor the workshops or
charrette to obtain maximum community input so as to produce the best possible master
development plan on which to base the new code. The charrette format will also take into
consideration the findings of the initial site analysis, input from staff and information obtained at
previous meetings, workshops, and interviews.
While the end result will be new land development regulations, the public process will include
discussions of alternatives for street design, street connectivity, green infrastructure and Low
Impact Development for stormwater management and urban planning strategies that create
vital TOD areas with livable nearby neighborhoods
At the conclusion of the charrette or workshop(s), the Consultant will present the work
generated to date. Plans, renderings, and initial coding ideas that reflect the long term
development vision articulated in the workshops and refined by the design team will be publicly
presented and further feedback solicited from the community. It is essential that local
government officials identified by City staff attend this presentation along with citizens
stakeholders, and technical experts.
Deliverables:
A. Summary and attendance of public meetings.
B. Full-sized displays of project area/concepts (E-size maps etc.).
C. Any PowerPoint or multimedia presentations developed to aid in the charrette/workshop or
subsequent public presentation
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
1. Build -Out Scenarios (Minimum and Maximum). The Consultant will determine the most
reasonable maximum and minimum development on a by -block basis within the study area. Both
scenarios should identify and address projected market demand and use regional development
types to depict the build -out developments. The build -out scenarios will be used to determine the
potential need for and extent of infrastructure capacity improvements throughout the study area.
2. Transportation Infrastructure Needs. The Consultant will provide GIS maps and other descriptive
materials to illustrate the potential need for roadway upgrades, downgrades, closures, vacations,
realignments, redesign and multimodal connections to and from the station area. The Consultant
will include appropriate staff from Fort Worth s Transportation/Public Works Department in
discussions about potential changes to the City's street system
3. Stormwater Management Opportunities. The Consultant will review the results of the Stormwater
Feasible Options Study (Forest Park/Berry section) and incorporate appropriately sized and located
stormwater management detention/retention/open conveyance features as community amenities in
the TOD plan. A system for stormwater management including green infrastructure and Low Impact
Development should be facilitated by the TOD plan and form -based code in the project area.
Interlocal Cooperation Agreement Page 7
NCTCOG and CITY OF FORT WORTH
Development scenarios should include recommendations for amenity -creating, on -site
detention/retention and open conveyance within the TOD, as well as acknowledge other local and
regional detention/retention and open conveyance needs that affect the TCU/Berry Station area.
The Consultant will include appropriate staff from Fort Worth's Transportation/Public Works
Department Stormwater Division in discussions about potential changes to the City's storm drainage
system.
4. Utility/Other Infrastructure Needs. The Consultant will determine the general location of existing
utilities/utility easements that may need to be relocated and/or upgraded and review City master
plans and recommend modifications as necessary to ensure that utilities will support the TOD plan
at estimated build -out. The Consultant will provide GIS maps and other descriptive materials to
illustrate the potential build -out need for water, sewer and other infrastructure improvements within
the study area. All potential water and sewer demand increases should include maximum daily,
maximum hourly and minimum hourly demands for all new mixed -use, commercial and residential
projects within the TCU/Berry Station area.

Station area will regulate development to ensure high -quality public spaces defined by a
variety of building types and uses including housing, retail and office space. The new
code will incorporate a regulating plan, budding form standards, street standards (plan
and section), use regulations as needed descriptive building types, and other elements
needed to implement the principles of functional and vital urbanism and practical
management of growth. Sections of this document would typically include the following:
•
Interlocal Cooperation Agreement Page 8
NCTCOG and CITY OF FORT WORTH
• Overview, including definitions, development/design principles, and
intent and explanation of the regulations and process in clear user-
friendly language and using terminology consistent with current City of
Fort Worth codes.
• Regulating Plan (a schematic representation of the master plan)
illustrating the location of streets, blocks, public spaces (such as greens,
squares, plazas, parks and stormwater detention/retention parks and
greenways), and other special features. Regulating plans may also
include aspects of Building Form Standards such as "build -to -Tines" or
'required building lines" and building type or form designations
• Development Standards and Guidelines, including the following sections:
1) Streets and Other Public Spaces --Define design attributes and
geometries that balance the needs of motorists, pedestrians
bicyclists, and transit riders while promoting a vital public realm
These standards should include design specifications for
sidewalks travel lane widths, parking, curb geometry, trees,
lighting and furnishings.
2) Building Location, Orientation and Height --Define basic building
form, placement, and fundamental urban elements to ensure that
all buildings complement neighboring structures and the street
These standards should be based upon study of building types
appropriate for the region, climate, and neighborhood vitality.
3) Parking and Driveways --Define design standards and overall
regulation for off-street parking garages, loading areas, etc. These
standards should include provisions for parking facilities that are
compatible with desired development patterns.
