Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 12/18/2007 -Ord. No. 17929-12-2007
DATE: Tuesday, December 18, 2007
LOG NAME: 061LA AMEND REFERENCE NO.: C-22588
SUBJECT:
Authorize Amendments to Existing Interlocal Agreements with Fort Worth Transportation Authority
to Extend Agreements' Term, Specify Roles and Responsibilities in Construction Phase of Hyde
Park Transit Plaza and Ninth Street Improvements Projects, and to Ensure Donated Funds are
Shared Equally, Authorize Acceptance of Donated Funds from Fort Worth Public Improvement
District 1, and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize amendments to existing Interlocal Agreements with the Fort Worth Transportation Authority to
extend the term five years, include language that specifies roles and responsibilities during construction of
the Hyde Park Transit Plaza and Ninth Street Improvements, and that any donated funds will be shared
equally between the Fort Worth Transportation Authority and the City of Fort Worth;
2. Authorize the City Manager to accept a donation from Fort Worth Public Improvement District 1 to reduce
the local match for the City and the Fort Worth Transportation Authority for the Hyde Park Transit Plaza
project by $20,000; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts and appropriations in the
2000 Critical Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $20,000 from available funds.
DISCUSSION:
On November 26, 2002, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into Interlocal Agreements
(ILA) with The Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T) outlining funding and project management
responsibilities for the Hyde Park Transit Plaza project (M&C C-19364) and the Ninth Street Improvements
project (M&C C-19363). The agreements allowed the partners to initiate the design process and proceed
with activities related to property acquisition. The agreements outlined construction management
responsibilities, but the assignment of these responsibilities was tentative at such an early stage. The
recommended amendments to the agreements will specifically state each entity's rate in the construction of
the Hyde Park Transit Plaza and the Ninth Street Improvements. Additionally, the amendments include
language ensuring that any donated funds will be shared equally between The T and the City of Fort Worth.
Fort Worth Public Improvement District 1 (Downtown) donated $20,000 to the Hyde Park Transit Plaza
project to reduce the City and The T's local match. The City will accept the donation and provide half of the
funds to The T.
Hyde Park Transit Plaza was originally conceptualized during the 1999 study of the Intermodal
Logname: 06ILA AMEND Page 1 of 2
Transportation Center. The study recommended dispersing bus transfer activity throughout Downtown and
identified Hyde Park at the intersection of Ninth and Throckmorton Streets as the most promising location
for a transit plaza. Since 1999, the City, The T, GSA, and Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. have worked together
to secure funding and to design the proposed transit plaza. The project is funded by a $1.97 million federal
earmark for property acquisition and two Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grants for design and
construction, $1.47 million and $1.5 million respectively, totaling $4.94 million for the entire project. The T
and the City share equally in providing the $972,000 ($486,000 each) in local match for the grants.
The Ninth Street Improvements project includes narrowing Ninth Street between Houston and Jones
Streets, installing new sidewalks, brick crosswalks, pedestrian lighting, and Cedar Elm trees. The
improvements will provide apedestrian-friendly environment between the Intermodal Transportation Center
and Hyde Park Transit Plaza. The Ninth Street project is funded by a $1.5 million TxDOT grant. The T and
the City share equally in providing the $375,000 ($187,500 each) in local match for the grant.
Both projects are scheduled to begin construction in May 2008, and should be completed by May 2009.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
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 2000 Critical Capital Projects Fund.
