NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements
of the parties, to be by them respectively kept and performed as set forth in this Agreement, it is
agreed as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Responsible Parties:
For the Project covered by this Agreement, the parties shall be responsible for the following
work as stated in the article of the Agreement referenced in the table below:
1 N/A Utilities Article 8
2. State Environmental Assessment and Mitigation Article 9
3. State Architectural and Engineering Services Article 11
4. N/A Construction Responsibilities Article 12
5. N/A Right of Way and Real Property Article 14
2. Period of the Agreement
This Agreement becomes effective when signed by the last party whose signing makes the
Agreement fully executed. This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Project is completed
or unless terminated as provided below.
3. Scope of Work
The scope of work for the Project consists of preliminary engineering services for North Las
Vegas Trail from IH 820 in Fort Worth to approximately Quebec Drive in White
Settlement. The project limits also include cross streets of Heron Drive and Shoreview
Drive. Preliminary engineering services will be utilized to determine the method and lane
configuration to widen from 2 lanes to 4 lanes to add capacity to the roadway, along with
sidewalks, intersection improvements, traffic signals and stormwater crossing improvements
(City of Fort Worth 100-Year Flood Standard). During the preliminary engineering phase, the
schematic will be developed, environmental clearance will be obtained and future ROW needs
will be determined.
4. Project Sources and Uses of Funds
The total estimated cost of the Project is shown in Attachment C, Project Budget (Attachment
C) which is attached to and made a part of this Agreement.
A. If the Local Government will perform any work under this Agreement for which
reimbursement will be provided by or through the State, the Local Government must
complete training. If federal funds are being used, the training must be completed
before federal spending authority is obligated. Training is complete when at least one
individual who is working actively and directly on the Project successfully completes
and receives a certificate for the course entitled "Local Government Project Procedures
and Qualification for the Texas Department of Transportation" and retains qualification
in accordance with applicable TxDOT procedures. Upon request, the Local
Government shall provide the certificate of qualification to the State. The individual

who receives the training certificate may be an employee of the Local Government or
an employee of a firm that has been contracted by the Local Government to perform
oversight of the Project. The State in its discretion may deny reimbursement if the
Local Government has not continuously designated in writing a qualified individual to
work actively on or to directly oversee the Project.
B. The expected cash contributions from the federal government, the State, the Local
Government, or other parties are shown in Attachment C. The State will pay for only
those Project costs that have been approved by the Texas Transportation Commission.
For projects with federal funds, the State and the federal government will not reimburse
the Local Government for any work performed before the federal spending authority is
formally obligated to the Project by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). After
federal funds have been obligated, the State will send to the Local Government a copy
of the formal documentation showing the obligation of funds including federal award
information. The Local Government is responsible for 100% of the cost of any work
performed under its direction or control before the federal spending authority is formally
obligated.
C. Attachment C shows, by major cost categories, the cost estimates and the party
responsible for performing the work for each category. These categories may include
but are not limited to: (1) costs of real property; (2) costs of utility work; (3) costs of
environmental assessment and remediation; (4) cost of preliminary engineering and
design; (5) cost of construction and construction management; and (6) any other local
project costs.
D. The State will be responsible for securing the federal and State share of the funding
required for the development and construction of the local Project. If the Local
Government is due funds for expenses incurred, these funds will be reimbursed to the
Local Government on a cost basis.
E. The Local Government will be responsible for all non-federal or non-State participation
costs associated with the Project, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement or
approved otherwise in an amendment to this Agreement. For items of work subject to
specified percentage funding, the Local Government shall only in those instances be
responsible for all Project costs that are greater than the maximum State and federal
participation specified in Attachment C and for overruns in excess of the amount
specified in Attachment C to be paid by the Local Government.
F. The budget in Attachment C will clearly state all items subject to fixed price funding,
specified percentage funding, and the periodic payment schedule, when periodic
payments have been approved by the State.
G. When the Local Government bears the responsibility for paying cost overruns, the
Local Government shall make payment to the State within thirty (30) days from the
receipt of the State's written notification of additional funds being due.
H. When fixed price funding is used, the Local Government is responsible for the fixed
price amount specified in Attachment C. Fixed prices are not subject to adjustment
unless (1) differing site conditions are encountered; (2) further definition of the Local
Government's requested scope of work identifies greatly differing costs from those
estimated; (3) work requested by the Local Government is determined to be ineligible
for federal participation; or (4) the adjustment is mutually agreed to by the State and
the Local Government.

I. Prior to the performance of any engineering review work by the State, the Local
Government will pay to the State the amount specified in Attachment C. At a minimum,
this amount shall equal the Local Government's funding share for the estimated cost of
preliminary engineering performed or reviewed by the State for the Project. At least
sixty (60) days prior to the date set for receipt of the construction bids, the Local
Government shall remit its remaining financial share for the State's estimated
construction oversight and construction cost.
J. The State will not execute the contract for the construction of the Project until the
required funding has been made available by the Local Government in accordance
with this Agreement.
K. Whenever funds are paid by the Local Government to the State under this Agreement,
the Local Government shall remit a check or warrant made payable to the "Texas
Department of Transportation" or may use the State's Automated Clearing House
(ACH) system for electronic transfer of funds in accordance with instructions provided
by TxDOT's Finance Division. The funds shall be deposited and managed by the State
and may only be applied by the State to the Project.
L. The State will not pay interest on any funds provided by the Local Government.
M. If a waiver for the collection of indirect costs for a service project has been granted
under 43 TAC §15.56, the State will not charge the Local Government for the indirect
costs the State incurs on the Project, unless this Agreement is terminated at the
request of the Local Government prior to completion of the Project.
N. If the Local Government is an Economically Disadvantaged County (EDC) and if the
State has approved adjustments to the standard financing arrangement, this
Agreement reflects those adjustments.
O. Where the Local Government is authorized to perform services under this Agreement
and be reimbursed by the State, the Local Government is authorized to submit
requests for reimbursement by submitting the original of an itemized invoice, in a form
and containing all items required by the State, no more frequently than monthly and no
later than ninety (90) days after costs are incurred. If the Local Government submits
invoices more than ninety (90) days after the costs are incurred and if federal funding is
reduced as a result, the State shall have no responsibility to reimburse the Local
Government for those costs.
P. Upon completion of the Project, the State will perform a final accounting of the Project
costs for all items of work with specified percentage funding. Any funds due by the
Local Government, the State, or the federal government for these work items will be
promptly paid by the owing party.
Q. The state auditor may conduct an audit or investigation of any entity receiving funds
from the State directly under this Agreement or indirectly through a subcontract under
this Agreement. Acceptance of funds directly under this Agreement or indirectly
through a subcontract under this Agreement acts as acceptance of the authority of the
state auditor, under the direction of the legislative audit committee, to conduct an audit
or investigation in connection with those funds. An entity that is the subject of an audit
or investigation must provide the state auditor with access to any information the state
auditor considers relevant to the investigation or audit.
R. Payment under this Agreement beyond the end of the current fiscal biennium is subject
to availability of appropriated funds. If funds are not appropriated, this Agreement shall
be terminated immediately with no liability to either party.

5. Termination of This Agreement
This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Project is completed and accepted by all
parties, unless:
A. The Agreement is terminated in writing with the mutual consent of the parties;
B. The Agreement is terminated by one party because of a breach, in which case any
costs incurred because of the breach shall be paid by the breaching party;
C. The Local Government elects not to provide funding after the completion of preliminary
engineering, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) and the Project does not proceed
because of insufficient funds, in which case the Local Government agrees to reimburse
the State for its reasonable actual costs incurred during the Project; or
D. The Agreement is terminated by the State because the parties are not able to execute
a mutually agreeable amendment when the costs for Local Government requested
items increase significantly due to differing site conditions, determination that Local
government requested work is ineligible for federal or state cost participation, or a more
thorough definition of the Local Government's proposed work scope identifies greatly
differing costs from those estimated. The State will reimburse Local Government
remaining funds to the Local Government within ninety (90) days of termination; or
E. The Project is inactive for thirty-six (36) consecutive months or longer and no
expenditures have been charged against federal funds, in which case the State may in
its discretion terminate this Agreement.

Amendments to this Agreement due to changes in the character of the work, terms of the
Agreement, or responsibilities of the parties relating to the Project may be enacted through a
mutually agreed upon, written amendment.
7. Remedies
This Agreement shall not be considered as specifying the exclusive remedy for any agreement
default, but all remedies existing at law and in equity may be availed of by either party to this
Agreement and shall be cumulative.
8. Utilities
The party named in Article 1, Responsible Parties, under AGREEMENT shall be responsible
for the adjustment, removal, or relocation of utility facilities in accordance with applicable state
laws, regulations, rules, policies, and procedures, including any cost to the State of a delay
resulting from the Local Government's failure to ensure that utility facilities are adjusted,
removed, or relocated before the scheduled beginning of construction. The Local Government
will not be reimbursed with federal or State funds for the cost of required utility work. The
Local Government must obtain advance approval for any variance from established

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the execution of an Advance Funding Agreement
with the Texas Department of Transportation in the amount of $328,563.00, of which the City
of Fort Worth's approximate participation amount is $315,003.00 and State participation in
the amount of $13,560.00 for preliminary engineering and environmental services to widen
Las Vegas Trail from two-lanes to four-lanes from Interstate Highway 820 to approximately
Quebec Drive, to include intersection, traffic signal, sidewalk, and stormwater
crossing improvements (City Project No. 103085);
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting the receipts and appropriations in the
2007 Critical Capital Projects Fund by increasing receipts and appropriations in the Las Vegas

DISCUSSION:
In 2008, the North Central Texas Council of Governments sponsored a Joint Land Use Study to
evaluate the status of recommendations implemented from the 2002 Air Installation Compatible Use
Zone Study and to make recommendations for additional actions by local governments designed to
improve land use decisions that may affect the mission of the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base
Fort Worth (NAS JRB).
The Joint Land Use Study was an initiative of the Cities of Fort Worth, Benbrook, River Oaks,
Westworth Village, White Settlement and Tarrant County. The study recommended transportation
infrastructure improvements and stormwater drainage recommendations. The transportation
infrastructure improvements include improving surface transportation access to NAS JRB from
surrounding communities and from the interstate highway system, particularly with the addition of
lanes and intersection improvements to maintain traffic flow in the area. The stormwater
recommendations are to reduce the possibility of flooding in the lower basin areas.
In 2019, the North Central Texas Council of Governments, Texas Department of Transportation and
Cities of Fort Worth and White Settlement met to discuss potential improvements to widen Las Vegas
Trail from Interstate Highway 820 to approximately Quebec Drive, to include sidewalks, intersection
and traffic signal improvements. In addition, stormwater crossing improvements to address water
overtopping at Las Vegas Trail between Heron Drive and Shore View Drive were identified.

2/2/2021 M&C Review
North Las Vegas Trail from Interstate Highway 820 to Clifford Street is primarily within the city limits of
White Settlement. The City of White Settlement's Master Thoroughfare Plan classification for North
Las Vegas Trail within these limits is a four-lane undivided minor arterial.
The North Las Vegas Trail project falls within the northern 1/3 limits of Interstate Highway 820 to
Clifford Street. The project is approximately 1,500 feet in length, of which approximately 20 percent of
North Las Vegas Trail roadway is within the limits of City of Fort Worth.
The City of Fort Worth's Master Thoroughfare Plan does not list North Las Vegas Trail within these
limits, but the Vision statement for the Master Thoroughfare Plan is to provide a complete and
connected, context-sensitive transportation system for all users that supports mobility, healthy living
and economic benefit. In addition, Intersections are noted as key components to a successful city
transportation networks, and are also the locations where pedestrians most frequently cross city
streets. Thus, the North Las Vegas Trail project improvements at the intersections of Heron Drive and
Shore View Drive will improve pedestrian movements to be made safely and efficiently.
The Texas Department of Transportation will manage and implement the project, which is within the
Cities of Fort Worth and White Settlement. The portion of the project within the city limits of Fort
Worth, will be a City of Fort Worth asset. The Texas Department of Transportation will execute two
separate preliminary engineering and environmental services agreements; one with the City of Fort
Worth, and one with the City of White Settlement.
City of Fort Worth funding amount of$400,000.00 includes $315,003.00 for the Texas Department of
Transportation's management and implementation of the project and $84,997.00 for city staff
coordination and administrative costs associated with project implementation. The action in this M&C
will amend the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance
24446-09-2020.
Upon completion of preliminary engineering, the amount of right-of-way necessary to widen Las Vegas
Trail will be identified. In addition, a more accurate costs estimate for right-of-way, utilities, and
construction will be identified. An amendment to the funding agreement between Texas Department of
Transportation and the City of Fort Worth will be necessary to include the project phases of right-of-
way, utilities, and construction.
The Las Vegas Trail project is located with COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the UNSPEC project within the
2007 Critical Capital Projects Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of
the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the 2007 Critical Capital Projects Fund
for the Las Vegas Trail project to support the approval of the above recommendations and the
execution of the advanced funding agreement. Prior to an expenditure being incurred,
the Transportation & Public Works Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of
funds.
