Bomber Spur Trail Phase I will begin at the intersection of State Highway 183 and Calmont Ave and continue south approximately 1.5 miles to
cross US 3771 Camp Bowie. The trail alignment will be located within the abandoned Bomber Spur rail right-of-way and North Z. Boaz Park. This
new trail will provide a significant link in the Fort Worth Metroplex Veloweb system. Anticipated improvements include a 12-foot wide concrete
paved trail, 3-foot wide shoulders on both sides of the trail, trail structures (pedestrian bridge, retaining walls, drainage structures, etc.), traffic
control, interpretive signs and 911 location signs. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., is currently under contract with the City to perform the
engineering services for Bomber Spur Phase I.
The Trail Gap Connections is a voter approved $5,500,000.00 project approved in the 2022 Bond Program, Proposition B, Trail Gap Connections.
Trail Gap Connections Project Description: design and construction of trails citywide to address gaps between trail sections within the trail
system, including locations where city funds can be leveraged through grants and partnerships with other organizations and agencies,
including, but not limited to, Bomber Spur Trail, Mistletoe Bridge to Forest Park Trail Connection, and Sycamore Creek Trail.
To date, the City has released $2,523,046.00 of the approved 2022 Bond Program funds. The city will release additional funding for this project
each spring.
Federal grant funds will cover 80% of construction costs. City's matching funds will cover the expenditures of engineering design, environmental
study and 20% of construction costs. City's available funds amount of $2,500,000.00 for this project exceeds the estimated AFA City's matching
funds amount of $1,482,000.00. Total project budget is summarized below:

Bomber Spur Trail Phase I is included in the 2022 Bond Program. The City's Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP) (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance
25675-08-2022) provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resources will be used to make any interim progress payments until debt
is issued. Once debt associated with a project is sold, debt proceeds will reimburse the interim financing source in accordance with the statement
expressing official intent to reimburse what was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance 25515-05-2022).
Funding for this project was not included in the Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) since Grant funds are not included in
the CIP. The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Years 2023-2027 CIP as approved in connection with Ordinance 25773-09-2022.
The Bomber Spur Trail Phase I project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 3.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: Texas
Department of Transportation
