This is a reimbursement grant. The City is solely responsible for any additional costs associated with
project administration, design, construction inspection, and materials testing. Since no city salaries
will be charged, indirect cost recovery does not apply.
PARD's Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) does not include potential grant awards. Therefore, the
requested action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2029 CIP.
The Fort Worth Zoo is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9 and is classified as a Special -Use Facility.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of
the attached appropriation ordinance funds will be available in the current capital budget, as
appropriated, in the Grants Capital Project State Fund. The Park & Recreation Department (and
Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the
City. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Park & Recreation Department has the
responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant.
