LOG NAME: 25GENDY/HARLEY LOT
SUBJECT
Authorize Use in a Total Amount of $300,000.00 for the Gendy/Harley Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project and Adopt Appropriation Ordinances
(COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting appropriations in the current FY19 operating budget of the Municipal Parking Fund
(54501) by reducing appropriations for General O&M expenses by $50,000.00 and increasing appropriations for Capital Transfer Out — Public
Events by the same amount for the purpose of making a transfer to the Public Events Capital Fund (30205) for the Gendy/Harley Parking Lot
Rehabilitation Project; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations for the Gendy/Harley Parking Lot Rehabilitation
project (102271) in the Public Events Capital Fund (30205) by $300,000.00, with $250,000.00 coming from available funds and $50,000.00
coming from transferred funds.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this M&C is to take actions to provide funding for the rehabilitation of the City -owned parking lot, commonly known as the
Gendy/Harley Parking Lot. Actions include making adjustments in the Municipal Parking Fund operating budget to make $50,000.00 available for
a transfer to the Public Events Capital Fund and appropriating a total of $300,000.00 in the Public Events Capital Fund, including the transferred
funds, for the project.
Rehabilitation of the parking lot is proposed in conjunction with capital improvements being funded by the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of
Fame, Inc. ("Cowgirl Museum") in the same vicinity and in preparation for use during events associated with the Dickies Arena.
The City of Fort Worth has leased the parking lot located at the northeast corner of Harley Street and Montgomery Street, specifically 1600 Gendy
Street, to the Museum of Science and Natural History since December of 2012. The execution of the second amendment to that lease (CSC No.
43957-A2) on June 24, 2019, removed a portion of that parking lot from the lease agreement, reduced the rental price accordingly, and terminated
the lease agreement effective October 1, 2019.
Also, on June 26, 2019, execution of the third amendment of the land lease agreement (CSC No. 52487) between the City and the Cowgirl
Museum approved a plan for South Plaza Improvements, including the design, construction and installation of a screening wall with decorative
mural, additional green space and hardscape improvements. The Cowgirl Museum raised funds from private donors for the design, construction,
and installation of these improvements and is responsible for ongoing maintenance per the lease agreement.
These South Plaza Improvements include the conversion of approximately 50 of the 250 parking spaces in the Gendy/Harley Parking Lot, which
prompted the need for the amendment to the parking lease with the Museum of Science and Natural History. Construction on the South Plaza
Improvements began the first week in August, and November 13, 2019, is the target date for completion.
In conjunction with these two lease amendments, the City initiated design work for the rehabilitation of the Gendy/Harley Parking Lot and executed
an agreement with Dunaway Associates, L.P. (CSC No. 52548) administratively on July 15, 2019, for engineering related design services in the
amount of $17,187.00 for rehabilitation of the remaining 200 spaces in the parking lot.
It is anticipated that minor drainage improvements, milling, and overlaying the remaining 200 parking spaces of the existing hot -mix asphalt
parking lot, as well as grading at the Harley entrance to tie into the South Plaza Improvements will cost approximately $300,000.00 of which
$250,000.00 is available in the Public Events Capital Fund and $50,000.00 is provided by the Municipal Parking Fund upon approval of the
recommendation herein. Construction work on the parking lot is proposed to begin the first week of October 2019, and to be completed by the
South Plaza Improvements target date of November 13, 2019. No additional operating fiscal impact to the City is anticipated from the
rehabilitation of the Gendy/Harley Parking Lot.
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 adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds
will be available as appropriated in the Public Events Capital Fund. Prior to expenditures being made, the participating department has the
responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
