SUBJECT: ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES FOR REMODEL OF CURRENT
VA CITY HALL AT 200 TEXAS STREET AND NEW PARKING
STRUCTURE
On June 13, the City Council will consider an M&C authorizing an architectural services contract for the
remodel of current City Hall at 200 Texas Street and design of a new parking structure. The relocation of
City departments from current City Hall to the future City Hall at 100 Energy Way provides an opportunity
to consolidate Police and other City functions at 200 Texas Street. The current City Hall site was obtained
from the U.S. Postal Service and must continue to be used for government purposes or be returned to the
Federal Government.
In January 2022, the City Council approved the allocation of $30 million from Crime Control and
Prevention District (CCPD) Capital Projects Funds to reuse portions of current City Hall as a consolidated
Police facility and to build an adjacent parking structure (M&C 22-0080). The project will renovate
approximately 200,000 square feet of the building, primarily the second and third floors, for Police use
and will construct a new parking structure on the City's parking lot south of current City Hall. This project
will consolidate the following Police facilities and functions to improve the operational efficiency and
effectiveness of the department:
Central Patrol (250 personnel) Terminates two leases for Police patrol and detective
offices, resulting in annual savings of more than $700,000 (501 Jones and 1289 Hemphill streets),
1000 Calvert (175 personnel) Terminates lease for the Calvert Facility (former Police and Fire
Training Center) with Tarrant Regional Water District, allowing demolition of facility as part of
the Central City Flood Control project,
During the programming for 200 Texas Street, staff will also evaluate the opportunity to relocate the
Police Communications Division there, while also considering other relocation options:
• Communications (150 personnel, 3 shifts) Replaces aging 3000 Bolt Street, 911 call center facility.
Due to continued growth in population a long-term solution for a larger, modern space is
necessary. The Bolt Street facility can serve as a back-up communications location.
The lower levels of 200 Texas Street will be programmed for other City functions that would benefit from
a downtown location. As these requirements and funding sources are identified, additional
recommendations will be forthcoming.
