Approved on 12/12/2006 -Ordinance No. 17315-12-2006 DATE: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 LOG NAME: 20PRECINCTLINE REFERENCE NO.: C-2'1$84 SUBJECT: Adopt an Ordinance Finding that a Material Change has Necessitated the Expansion of the Precinct Line Road 2004 Capital Improvements Project and Authorize Execution of an Engineering Services Agreement with Freese & Nichols, Inc., for Schematic Design for Precinct Line Road from Hurst Boulevard to Trammel Davis Road (Project No. 00147) RECOMMENDATION. It is recommended that the City Cauncil: 1. Adapt the attached ordinance finding thaf a material change has occurred for the 2004 Capital Improvement Program street reconstruction project, Precinct tine Road from 1,000' N of Trinity Blvd to 1,000' S of Trinity Blvd, to extend the limits Hurst Boulevard (5H 10) to Trammel Davis Road; and 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute an Engineering Services Agreement with Freese & Nichols, Inc. in the amount of $263,346.00 for the schematic design of Precinct Line Rnad from Hurst Boulevard to Trammel Davis Raad. DISCUSSION: The 2004 Capital Improvement Program (CIP} contains $635,000 far design and construction of this faur- lane divided roadway 1,000 feet north and south of Trinity Boulevard, and $1,650,000 for the reconstruction of the bridge aver Walkers Branch. In addition, $444,000 was set aside in the Special Assessments Fund for the project. Subsequently the 2006 Tarrant County Bond Program approved $2,729,000 to supplement Cifiy of Fort Worth funding for Precinct Line Road with extended limits on the north to SH-10; and $800,000 additional Federal Transportation funding has been earmarked for Precinct Line Road with extended limits an the south to Trammel Davis Road. TxDOT is currently designing the Walkers Branch Bridge replacement and intersection improvements at Trinity Boulevard. For accommodation of traffic, it will be necessary to have a combined roadway and bridge construction contract. Therefore, to expedite the roadway design to meet TxDOT's schedule, the plan is that City funding be used to get design started immediately, and the approved County and Federal Transportation funds, along with remaining City funds, will be used for the construction phase of the project. A Tarrant County interlocal agreement and a Federal funding agreement with TxDOT will be presented to the Cauncil prior to that phase. SPECIAL 1=1SCAL NOTE: This is a 2004 CIP project. Upon approval of the above finding, it is important to note that should the aforementioned agreements anticipated with the two funding agencies (Tarrant County and TxDOT) not materialize, it will be necessary to identify an alternative funding source to complete the portion of the project obligated to citizens in the bond program, as approval of the M&C authorizes use of same of the approved funds.
