Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the execution of a Local Project Advanced Funding Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation in the amount of $12,654,000.00 for Construction of the Walsh Ranch Parkway Interchange at Interstate Highway 30 at a total estimated cost of $13,913,187.00; and 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Funding Agreement with Walsh Ranches, L.P. for the purpose of reimbursement for costs in excess of the funding Agreement with Texas Department of Transportation. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to seek authorization to enter into two Agreements for construction and cost reimbursement for the Walsh Ranch Parkway Interchange at IH -30 in west Fort Worth (WRP Interchange). On May 6, 2003, the City entered into an economic development Agreement (M &C C- 20876, City Secretary No. 28585) with Walsh Ranches, L.P. Since that time and in accordance with the terms of that Agreement, both the City and Walsh Ranches L.P., have made significant infrastructure improvements related to the development of the Walsh Ranch as a master planned community. An exhibit of the proposed Walsh Ranch development is attached for reference. On November 11, 2008, (M &C G- 16351) the City Council approved Resolution 3679 -11 -2008, seeking funding support for the construction of the WRP Interchange from our regional transportation partners. While serving as the gateway to the development, the interchange and the associated ramps will also provide significant operational and safety enhancements to the traveling public with the elimination of the two -way frontage road system. Staff has worked closely with the Texas Department of Transportation and the North Central Texas Council of Governments to collectively identify the amount of $12,654,000.00 in state and federal funds to design and construct this TxDOT -let project. However, there is an anticipated construction cost in the amount of $13,913,187.00, leaving a funding shortfall in the amount of $1,259,187.00 which is the responsibility of the City under the terms of the LPAFA.
