DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the execution of Amendment No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No.
51751 with Dunaway Associates, L.P., in the amount of $467,250.00 for the North Park Improvements Project located in northeast Fort Worth
(CD4).
On January 19, 2019, City Secretary Contract No. 51751 was administratively executed with Dunaway Associates, L.P., in the amount of
$49,800.00 for preparation of an updated park master plan. The master plan update was completed on June 21, 2019 and was endorsed by the
Park & Recreation Advisory Board on July 24, 2019.
Under this amendment, Dunaway Associates, L.P., will prepare construction documents for park improvements included in the 2018 Bond
Program and updated park master plan.
The 2018 Bond Program included $2,000,000.00 for the preparation of a master plan update and implementation of the park master plan,
including, but not limited to the renovation of existing soccer fields, provision of additional athletic facilities, restrooms, additional parking, security
lighting, and supporting infrastructure and equipment; and $600,000.000 for the installation of athletic field lighting at North Park.
The 2018 Bond Program also included $750,000.00 for the installation of a Universal Playground at a to be determined location. North Park was
selected as the location based on an unmet service need per the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan which calls for one Universal
Playground in each of the five sectors of the City — north, south, east, west and central. Currently, Universal Playgrounds are located in Patricia
LeBlanc Park (south) and Trinity Park (central). Additionally, North Park has the supporting infrastructure including roads and parking to support a
Universal Playground facility.
Additional funding for the North Park Improvements project was appropriated from the PayGo Capital funding (M&C G-19305), and the earnings
derived from the sale of City surplus property (M&C G-19503).
