The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the execution of an engineering agreement with Teague, Nall &

Sycamore Park Background
Sycamore Park is a 154 acre park located north of East Rosedale Street and east of Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway (US 287). A portion,
approximately 66 acres, of Sycamore Park that used to be Sycamore Creek Golf Course was conveyed to the City by Tarrant Regional Water
District (TRWD) in 1991 with a reversion clause stating that if "the Property ceases to be used solely for the purpose of a public golf course for a
period of twelve (12) consecutive months, then the entire property shall automatically revert to TRWD." On September 13, 2022 (M&C 22-0723)
the City Manager was authorized to execute and record an amended and restated special warranty deed which allows for the property, formerly
known as Sycamore Creek Golf Course, to be used as either a public golf course or a public park. In addition to the old Sycamore Creek Golf
Course, Sycamore Park includes Sycamore Community Center, a ballfreld complex, sprayground, two playground areas, Vaqueros soccer
field/court, stage and Sycamore Creek.
The 2022 Bond Program included $4,000,000.00 for the design and development of phase II improvements at Sycamore Park. Phase II
improvements will consider items included in the park Master Plan, endorsed by the Park & Recreation Advisory Board on February 26, 2020.
The design elements will include picnic tables, trails, bridge improvements, parking lot, stormwater pond, interactive learning area, entry
monument, and fencing. The project will include coordination with regulatory agencies including U.S. Corp of Engineers, Texas Archeological
Research Laboratory (as part of Texas Historical Commission), and City of Fort Worth/FEMA. The updated master plan was presented to the
Park & Recreation Advisory Board for endorsement, and the City Council for adoption.
Re -Purpose of Funding to Sycamore Park
In 2018, The City Council adopted two resolutions expressing interest in and commitment to the development of a Joint -Use Facility in Northwest
Fort Worth in conjunction with Eagle Mountain -Saginaw Independent School District (EMSISD) and the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth (YMCA)
which will allow the outdoor recreational swimming facility to be available for use by City residents (Resolutions 4989-09-2018 and 5027-12-2018,
and Informal Report 10296).
On October 29, 2019 (M&C 19-0278), City Council authorized the appropriation of available mineral revenues as funding for the development and
operation of a joint -use aquatic facility between the City of Fort Worth (CFW), Eagle Mountain -Saginaw Independent School District (EMSISD),
and the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth (YMCA).
However, the YMCA notified the City on November 15, 2021 in a letter that they discontinued their partnership with EMSISD for the building of a
new facility. Subsequently, City staff recommended that the $2,000,000.00 that was previously appropriated to this project be re -purposed for the
development of Sycamore Park in accordance with the park master plan endorsed by the Park & Recreation Advisory Board on February 26,
2020. The attached budget amendment ordinance implements this recommendation.
Design for Phase II Improvements to Sycamore Park
A Request for Qualifications was advertised/issued for professional services related to Park & Recreation development and subsequent
Statements of Qualifications were received, evaluated, and scored by PARD staff. All professional services submittals were included in the overall
scoring, which was broken into six specific types of design (Systemwide Plans, Community Park Master Planning (MP) and Construction
Documents (CD), Neighborhood Park MP and CD, Urban Park MP and CD, Trail System design and CD, and
Drainage/Erosion/Dredging/Pavement design and CD). PARD staff evaluates firms and pulls from this list for assignment of design service on
each capital project based on expertise & availability for specific project scope.
Business Equity — Teague, Nall & Perkins, Inc. is in compliance with the City's Business Equity Ordinance by committing to 8%
MWBE participation on this project. The City's MWBE goal on this project 6%.
This project is included in the 2022 Bond Program. The City's Extendable Commercial Paper Program (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance 25675-08-
2022) provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resource 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 that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance 25515-05-2022).
Funding is budgeted in the NW Aquatic Partnership project within the General Gas Lease Capital Project Fund for the purpose of funding the 2022
Bond Sycamore Park project.
Sycamore Park Phase II is located in Council District 8.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously appropriated, in the NW Aquatic Partnership
project within the General Gas Lease Capital Project Fund, and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached
appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the General Gas Lease Capital Project Fund for the 2022 Bond Sycamore Park project to
support the above recommendations and execution of the agreement. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Park & Recreation Department
