The City of Fort Worth (City) intends to fund the Project through bond financing or another similar means, with funding from the Trinity Lakes TIF to help offset the costs of the Project, including any construction and financing costs. Reflecting contractor bidding, the cost of the Project is now estimated to be $20,500,000.00. It is recommended that the City continue to advance work on the Project at the newly estimated Project cost and that the City execute a TIF Development Agreement with Trinity Lakes TIF for reimbursement of project and financing costs and outlining the responsibilities of both the Trinity Lakes TIF and the City with respect to the Project. Once the associated Project has been completed, the balance of any remaining funds obligated by the Trinity Lakes TIF for the Project will be returned to the Trinity Lakes TIF for use in support of other projects and activities outlined in its Project and Financing Plan. Therefore, it is recommended that the City amend M&C 20-0939 so that authorized project costs are equal to $20,500,000.00 plus associated financing costs. This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5. 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 recommendation and execution of the contract, funds will be deposited into the TIRZ #14 - Trinity Lakes Fund. The Economic Development Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Submitted for City Manager's Office bT.
