DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of a contract with ALCC, LLC dba Perfect Finish Landscaping, in the amount of $4,804,667.01 for construction of park improvements at Sycamore Park. Approval of Recommendation No. 5 will amend M&C 24-0878 dated October 15, 2024 , which originally authorized the acceptance of an Urban Outdoor Recreation Grant from the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department for the Sycamore Park project and appropriated funding in the Grants Capital Project State Fund instead of the Grants Cap Projects Federal Fund. This M&C is to appropriate grant funds from the U. S. Department of Interior pass through the Texas Park and Wildlife Department to the Grants Cap Projects Federal Fund for the Sycamore Park project (City Project No. 104193). The project was advertised for bid on November 20 and November 27, 2024, in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram. On December 19, 2024, the following bids were received and tabulated. BIDDER BASE BID Ken -Do Contracting LP" $4,184,941.57 I ALCC, LLC dba Perfect Finish $4,804,667.01 Landscaping A&C Construction, Inc. $4,893,500.00 2L Construction, LLC 1 $5,231,424.20 NorthStar Construction, LLC 1 $5,447,153.02 C Green Scaping, LP 1 $6,080,613.73 Fort Worth Civil Constructors I $7,002,484.63 Base bid improvements include the following: Installation of new iconic pavilion, paving, drainage, grading, new trails, parking lot, pedestrian crossing, removal of bridge and enlarged pond. *Ken -Do was deemed non -responsive due to failure to submit necessary MBE paperwork. Contract time is 275 days, and construction is anticipated to commence in June 2025 and be completed by July 2026. The park improvements at Sycamore Paris are estimated to increase the department's annual maintenance cost by $62,624.59 beginning in Fiscal Year 2026. As part of the Fiscal Year 2024 year-end process, the City Manager assigned $56,507,497.00 from the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 fund balance to address future capital shortfalls and library capital projects, as authorized by M&C 25-0003. This assigned amount exceeds the General Fund reserve requirements and is composed of the following sources: $9,472,519.00 from the sale of library property residuals, $14,627,444.00 from capital project shortfalls funded by the remaining assigned fund balance from FY2023, $7,690,534.00 from FY2024 budgetary savings, and $24,717,000.00 from one-time interest earnings. This action in the M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2025 Adopted Budget, as approved in connection with Ordinance 27107-09-2024. Funding for this project was not included in the FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program due to cost overruns resulting from inflation and rising construction expenses. This M&C action will also amend the FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program, as approved in connection with Ordinance 27107- 09-2024.
