Log Name: I Project Description -Public Attachment
Richardson Bass (Sound) System Upgrade (City Project No. 101740) The purpose of this
project is to design and replace sound system components used for public address and
presentations in all areas of the Richardson/Bass building and areas that support events in the
building. The PED will reengage the sound engineering firm, BAi, that started this project
(January, 2020) for design, project management and commissioning. PED will also collaborate
with Information Technology Services (ITS) to either competitively bid or use existing
professional service agreements, as deemed appropriate, for the purchase and installation of
equipment. The $998,255.34 project is estimated to take 18 months to complete, due to
equipment availability uncertainty and having to work around events in the building.
Amon Carter EH Door Replacement (City Project No. 101437) The purpose of this project is
to address structural issues associated with Exhibit Hall door frames and replace 37-year-old
door systems. The PED will reengage Elements of Architecture to continue their evaluation of
the door openings for structural modifications/repair, provide construction drawings and
recommend door replacement systems. PED will collaborate with the Property Management
Department (PMD) for project management, using a Job Order Contractor (JOC) for repairs,
purchase of door systems and installation. The $500,911.85 project will take approximately 12
to 8 months to complete due to events in the building.
WRMC Sprinklers Cattle Barn #4 (City Project No. 103661) This project is a continuation of
a program to install fire suppression systems in all livestock housing and exhibiting
buildings. Some of infrastructure for Cattle Barn #4 was installed prior to the COVID-19
pandemic and this project will complete the work that was already started. PED will collaborate
with PMD for project management and will re -bid the installation, based on the already
completed design and specifications. The $850,000.00 project will take approximately 12 to 18
months to complete.
WRMC Justin Garage Ventilation (City Project No. 102447) This project will address air
flow deficiencies in the Justin Garage when it is being utilized as a livestock housing
facility. Summit Consultants Inc. evaluated air flow through the lower level of the Garage and
designed a system to circulate air more efficiently before the project was shut down. PED will
collaborate with PMD to update the design and retain a JOC for equipment purchase and
installation. The $380,482.65 project is anticipated to take 12 to 18 months to complete.
WRMC Security Cameras (City Project No.102511) This project will provide video
surveillance of public and secure areas of the WRMC complex for event attendee safety and
building security. PED will work with PMD for project management and in consultation with
FWPD for surveillance recommendations, using existing City vendors to evaluate highest
priority areas of coverage and install equipment. The $210,000.00 project could take 9 to 12
months, depending on equipment availability and having to work around already scheduled
events.
WRMC Replace Auditorium Curtains (City Project No. 102514) The purpose of this project
is to replace all performance drapes (main, legs, mid, back and scrim) and hardware on the
Auditorium and Round Up Inn stages. The purchase of finished drapes and installation will be
done through competitive bid. This $192,500.00 project will be managed by PED. This project
is estimated to take 6 to 9 months, depending on scheduled events.
FWCC Star Tower Facade (City Project No. 102515) The purpose of this project is to
evaluate exterior brick, glass and connection joints for wear, provide construction drawings and
facilitate repairs to the Fort Worth Convention Center (FWCC) Star Tower, located at the SW
corner of the building. PED will work with PMD on the $165,000.00 project. PMD will
reengage Roofrech to complete the evaluation of the exterior of the structure and use a JOC to
perform repairs. This project is estimated to take 12 to 18 months to complete.
WRMC Electrical Upgrades (City Project No. 102513) This project will address deficiencies
in providing temporary power to WRMC event exhibitors, both inside the Amon Carter Exhibit
Hall and around building exteriors. Many shows rent space to vendors around the show arenas
and these vendors, in many cases, need power to properly engage the potential clients. This
project will address the needs of the vendors by providing permanent disconnects on the roofs of
the building, which in turn will facilitate the delivery of temporary power outlets to the vendors,
as needed. PED will work with City of Fort Worth approved vendors to provide working
drawings and with the help of PMD, either use a JOC or bid the equipment purchase and
installation, as deemed appropriate. The $550,000.00 project will take between 12 to 18 months
to complete due to working around building events.
WRMC Emergency Generator Enhancement (City Project No. 102634) This project will
replace the aging emergency generator in the Coliseum that provides emergency lighting, in the
case of a power failure, in the Auditorium, Coliseum and Amon Carter Exhibit Hall. In addition,
the project will provide a second emergency generator to provide backup power to the
administration offices, where the IT Hub is located. PED will work with City electrical vendors
to provide specifications, make recommendations and PMD to oversee the purchase and
installation of equipment. The $165,000.00 project will take approximately 6 to 12 months to
complete due to equipment availability and scheduled events in the buildings.
WRMC Auditorium Roof Replacement (City Project No. 100238) This project will first,
assess the condition of the 25-year-old roof, which is made up of seven (7) separate units. PED
will work with PMD to retain a roofing specialist to evaluate the condition of the roof, make
recommendations and provide construction drawings for the repair and/or replacement of each
roof unit. Once specifications are available, the project will be competitively bid. The
$1,729,000.00 project could take up to 24 months to complete due to the complexity of the roof
and the schedule of events in the Auditorium.
