SUBJECT
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Increasing Estimated Receipts and Appropriations in the Amount of $130,000 from Available Funds in the 2008
Street Improvements Fund for Street Improvements on University Drive at Colonial Parkway Intersection (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Appropriation Ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
amount of $130,000 from available funds in the 2008 Street Improvement Fund for Paving Improvements on University Drive at Colonial Parkway
intersection to address drainage ponding issues. This work will be performed using TPW On Call Contract with Bean Electrical Inc. approved on
12/12/2017 M&C C-28517 City Secreatry Contract No. 50171.
DISCUSSION:
Intersection improvements were completed fall of 2018 at the intersection of University Drive and Colonial Parkway. The original scope of work
included new traffic and pedestrian actuated signals, accessible ramps, and designated crosswalks to serve both the Fort Worth Zoo and the Log
Cabin Village visitors. Modifications to the existing median for the southbound traffic were made as part of the improvements to create accessible
pathways. The changes to the median amplified a pre-existing drainage issue. The original scope and budget for the intersection improvements
did not include stormwater drainage analysis or pavement elevation adjustments.
In order to re-establish the proper grade on the street, and move the standing water into the storm drain system, a contractor is needed to mill and
overlay the south bound lanes next to the median for approximately 200 feet, crack seal and replace existing pavement markings. The city will use
our On Call contract with Bean Electric Inc. City Secretary Contract No. 50171 to complete these improvements.
The engineers opinion of probable cost to construct these improvements is estimated at $100,000.00 with an additional $15,000 for design and
$15,000 for testing and inspection. Staff considers this estimate to be fair and reasonable and is requesting funds in an amount of $130,000 to be
appropriated to the project to complete this work.
Construction is anticipated to be completed within 30 days, upon approval of this recommendation.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that, upon approval of the above recommendations and adoptions of the attached appropriation
ordinances, funds will be available in capital budget, as previously appropriated of the Street Improvement 2008 Fund. Prior to expenditure being
made, the participating department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
