DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to adopt a Resolution authorizing the execution of a Local On -System
Improvement Project (LOSA) with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The LOSA details the responsibilities of both the City of Fort
Worth (City) and TxDOT in the execution and implementation of the project.
This LOSA is a new type of TxDOT permit that allows the City to implement improvements on a state highway system using local funding. This
project is included in the 2018 Bond Program to construct intersection improvements to relieve traffic congestion, reduce vehicular delays and
increase safety.
This phase will construct a U-Turn from the eastbound frontage road to the westbound frontage road adjacent to the southbound lanes on Marine
Creek Parkway while a pedestrian trail will be constructed adjacent to the northbound lanes. For phase two of the project, staff will be pursuing
federal participation to construct median improvements which will require the execution of Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with TxDOT.
The City Council increased the estimated receipts and appropriations in the amount of $2,996,851,90 to the NW Loop 820 & Marine Creek
Parkway project phase I (City Project No. 101585) for project management, engineering design, and construction (M&C G-19306 & M&C 20-
0234). The City will be responsible for 100% of project overruns. For the direct and indirect state costs, TxDOT is waiving fees in a total amount of
$245,490.00 for its review and oversight. There will be no project reimbursements for phase one.
This project is included in the 2018 Bond Program. Available resources within the General Fund will be used to provide interim financing until debt
is issued. Once debt associated with the project is sold, bond proceeds will reimburse the General Fund in accordance with the statement
expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance Nos. 21241-05-2014
and 23209-05-2018) and subsequent actions taken by the Mayor and Council.
