SUBJECT ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT CARTER AND BURGESS, INC., FOR
INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS ON NORTH BEACH STREET AT IH-820. (PROJECT
NO. 30-021209)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering
services agreement with Carter and Burgess, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas, to prepare plans and
specifications for intersection improvements to relieve traffic congestion on North Beach and IH-
820 for a lump sum fee of $304,500.00.
DISCUSSION:
On May 9, 1995, (M&C C-14800), the City Council authorized the execution of a Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Agreement with TxDOT for intersection improvements
on North Beach Street and IH-820 at an estimated cost of $3,200,000. The State will be
responsible to secure the fifty-three (53%) Federal share of the funding required for the design,
right-of-way acquisition and construction cost of the project. Costs in excess of the Federal
share will be borne by the City of Fort Worth. Under the terms of the agreement the City is
responsible for the design of the improvements,securing any needed rights-of-way,and adjusting
or relocating utilities. TxDOT will advertise, award and inspect construction of the project.
Carter and Burgess, Inc., was selected by the City to prepare plans and specifications for the
project for a lump sum fee of $304,500. Staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for
the scope of services to be performed.
Carter and Burgess, Inc., has committed to 27% MWBE participation.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 4.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as
