DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to secure HDR Engineering Inc., services for additional Master Thoroughfare
Plan (MTP) arterial network analysis and support.
In April 2021, the City of Fort Worth entered into a consultant agreement with HDR Engineering Inc., to provide on -call MTP Implementation
support. The objective of the agreement is to refine the MTP, upon City requests, to increase flexibility in application and use of the MTP. The
scope of work under Tasks 1 — 4 of the agreement included 1) Task Management; 2) Standard Details; 3) Complete Streets Checklist; and 4)
Informational Visual Cross-section.
In August 2021, city staff identified an additional need for MTP arterial network modeling to evaluate potential realignment and/or elimination of
arterial facilities due to alternative land -uses and the need for on -call services to support MTP roadway coordination with water and sewer
infrastructure based on the land -use alternatives. The addition of Task 5 MTP modeling support in the amount of $40,032.00 allows for
transportation modeling of arterial network alternatives to analyze different land -use options. The addition of Task 6 in the amount of $9,982.00
allows for MTP infrastructure coordination with water and sewer infrastructure of these arterial network alternatives.
The $28,594.74 in TPW Gas Lease Project Legacy Fund combined with the existing available project balance funds in the amount of $25,693.54,
provides funds in the amount of $54,288.28 to support Task 5, Task 6 and city staff costs.
The project is located in All COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Unspecified -Gas Lease Rev within the TPW Gas Lease Project Fund and
upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the TPW Gas
Lease Project Fund for the Master Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) project to support the approval of the above recommendations and execution of the
amendment. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Transportation and Public Works Department has the responsibility of verifying the
availability of funds.
