The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to adopt a resolution authorizing execution of an amendment to an Advance
Funding Agreement (AFA) with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) (City Secretary Contract No. 47147, CSJ# 0909-90-031) for
a reduction of project construction scope, and the corresponding decrease of Federal, State and City cost participation.
The City Council approved an Advance Funding Agreement JAFA) with TxDOT in the amount of $3,330,456.00 on September 29, 2015 (M&C G-
18585) for the engineering and construction of the Trinity Trails East Fort Worth Extension. The trail begins at the east at the intersection of
Handley Ederville Road and the West Fork of Trinity River, traverses eastward along the river, crosses Interstate Highway 820 Right of Way (IH 820
ROW) and then runs north and east to follow the perimeter of Trinity Lakes development connecting to a new trailhead at River Trails Park.
The construction of the 12' wide shared -use trail was finished in January 2021 with the exception of the portion within IH 820 ROW, which will be
built later by TxDOT in their IH 820 Improvements project. Thus, the appropriations for the TxDOT grant will be reduced as shown below:
