DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to take actions to reallocate $450,000.00 in residual bond funding from the substantially complete Diamond Hill Community Center to the Betsy Price Community Center (fka Northwest Community Center), both of which are projects in the 2018 Bond program. In 2018, Fort Worth voters approved the issuance of $84,180,600.00 of property -tax -backed public securities (bonds) for park and recreation improvements, including community centers. The bond booklet circulated in advance of the election noted that $28,710,000.00 of that amount was allocated for community centers, with $9.9 million planned for use on the Diamond Hill Community Center and $10 million for the Northwest Community Center, which has since been renamed the Betsy Price Community Center. Construction of the Diamond Hill Community Center is substantially complete. The project has a current estimated residual amount of $629,104.70, and after final payments and close out is projected to have a surplus of $550,000.00 By comparison, costs for the new Betsy Price Community Center are projected to exceed current allocations by approximately $450,000.00. The increase is due to unanticipated roadway improvement coordination with Texas Department of Transportation (TxDot) for a project that widened Blue Mound Road just as the Betsy Price Community Center started construction, which created an increase in cost due to a relocated entryway and revised requirements, an increase in Fumiture, Fixture and Equipment (FFE) needs, and continued salaries from the Property Management, Park & Recreation and Transportation and Public Works Departments project management staff as outlined below. Item Amount of Increase FFE $167,312.00 Salaries $40,000.00 Atmos Energy $140,000.00� CMJ Engineering (Additional Materials Testing) $9,093.54 Additional Project Continency $93,594.46 Total Costs Needed $450,000.00 Approval of this M&C will also authorize two contractual documents related to the Betsy Price Community Center project. The first is a reimbursement agreement with Atmos Energy Corporation (Atmos). Atmos is extending a gas line under Blue Mound Road to service the Betsy Price Community Center project. Atmos will install a 4" main in 8" steel casing and a 2" service line to the Betsy Price Community Center. Because it is a dedicated line to the facility, the City is responsible for the costs associated with installation of the service line. The reimbursement amount is $140,000.00. The second is an amendment to increase the agreement with CMJ Engineering. On May 2, 2023, an initial contract was entered into for $80,170.75 (CSC No. 59631). Amendment 1 to this contract was issued on July 22, 2024, in the amount of $19,195.56. Amendment 2 will be in the amount of $9,093.54 for additional materials testing services, for a total contract amount of $108,459.85. Contract Amount Original Contract $80,170.75 Amendment 1 $19,195.56 Amendment 2 (Current Phase) $9,093.54 Total Contract Amount $106,459.85 The actions in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 27107- 09-2024 to reallocate residual funding in the 2018 Bond Program Fund from the Diamond Hill project to the Betsy Price Community Center project. The project is in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7. FISCAL INFORMATION ! CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Diamond Hill Community Center project within the 2018 Bond Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the 2018 Bond Fund for the Betsy Price Community Center project.
