7. Amend the Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program; and
8. Authorize execution of an engineering services agreement with Halff Associates, Inc., in the amount of $228,000.00 for final engineering
design and construction administration services for CentrePort Trail Phase 11(City Project No, 102130),
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to adopt the attached Resolution authorizing execution of Amendment No. 3 to
the Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) (City Secretary Contract No. 49494; CSJ# 0902-90-
050) for the CentrePort Trail Phase I (City Project No.100082) for an increase of project construction cost, and the corresponding increase of
Federal, State and City cost participation, and authorize the execution of an engineering services agreement with Halff Associates, Inc., in the
amount of $228,000.00 for final 90% to 100% engineering design and construction administration services for CentrePort Trail Phase II (City
Project No. 102130).
The CentrePort project includes two phases. Phase 1 will start at the new American Airlines Campus in the east Fort Worth CentrePort area,
connect to Arlington River Legacy Trails and terminate at the Trinity Railway Express (f RE) CentrePort Station (approximately 1.6 miles total).
Phase II will start at the THE CentrePort Station and extend east along the THE railroad until meeting Trinity Boulevard, and then continue heading
south to Mike Lewis Park in Grand Prairie (approximately 3.5 miles total). Anticipated improvements include a 12-foot wide concrete paved trail,
3-foot wide shoulders, trail structures (bridges, retaining walls, drainage headwalls, tunnel, etc.), traffic control and 911 location signs.
The City Council approved an AFA with TxDOT in the amount of $2,757,588.00 on June 20, 2017 (M&C G-18975 and M&C G-19040) for the
engineering and construction of the CentrePort Trail Phase I.
The City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to increase the total agreement amount from $2,757,588.00 to $3,684,450.00 on September 25,
2018 (M&C G-19383) for up to 90% engineering design of the CentrePort Trail Phase II.
The City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to increase total project amount from $3,684,450.00 to $6,396,749.00 on June 14, 2022 (M&C 22-
0405) based on an increase of 60% construction cost estimate of CentrePort Phase I. The increase is due to the realignment of the trail around
unanticipated large areas of unstable slopes and additional reinforcement structures. Upon execution of the AFA, the amounts were reduced by
TxDOT to reflect a less increased amount of $6,384,302.00 which includes project budget in the amount of $6,110,470.00 and Indirect State Costs
in the amount of $273,832.00. City participation was reduced to the amount of $1,222,096.00.
Amendment No.3 is based on an increase of 100% construction cost estimate of CentrePort Trail Phase I. The increase is due to construction cost
escalation and the trail's close vicinity to exiting highway and the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) infrastructure. As a result, additional drainage
structures, security fencing, retaining walls and construction labor training requirements are added into the construction scope.
Funding for this amendment was not included in the Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) due to unanticipated construction
challenges being incurred after the CIP was adopted. The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program
as approved in connection with Ordinance 25773-09-2022, Section 7. Capital Improvements, as listed on page(s) 24:
