On May 9, 2024, as part of the 2025 Green Ribbon Landscape Program, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) awarded the City funding in an amount of $400,000.00 for the construction of landscape improvements on US 287 Right -of -Way (Martin Luther King Freeway) at the intersection with Berry/Vaughn Street. The Green Ribbon Landscaping Planting Program allocates funds for landscaping activities, including the planting and establishment of native and adaptive trees and plants on state highways. The award is preliminary, pending a signed Advanced Funding Agreement as well as a Landscape Maintenance Agreement assigning maintenance responsibility to the City. The project consists of the design and installation of landscaping and irrigation and will be let by the City in August 2025. The grant funding is to be used for construction purposes only. The City of Fort Worth is solely responsible for any costs associated with project management, design, construction inspection, materials testing, and bears the responsibility to fund cost overruns. The State is waiving $152,030.00 of direct and indirect state costs for its plan review and oversight. The project is currently funded for design using the 2022 Bond Program. The table below summarizes the total funding for the project: Fund 1134027 - 2022 Bond Program 31001 -Grants Capital Projects Federal Fund 31002 - Grants Capital Project State Fund II Project Total Existing Additional Revised Appropriations Appropriations FY2025 Budget $300,000.00 $0.001 $300,000.00 $0.00 $320,000.00 $320,000.00 $0.00 $80,000.00 $80,000.00 $300,000.00 $400,000.00 1 $700,000.00 The project 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 the 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). Since no City salaries will be charged, indirect cost recovery does not apply. The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.
