DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize an agreement with Streams & Valleys, Inc. to contribute funds for
construction of Tilley Plaza in Trinity Park as a 1:1 match with City contributions from Future Community Partnerships funding, and to authorize a
contract with C. Green Scaping, LP in the amount of $906,528.80. Tilley Plaza will be located at the west end of the Phyllis J. Tilley Memorial
Bridge in Trinity Park.
Streams & Valleys, Inc. (S&V) was formed in 1971 as a non-profit organization dedicated to the beautification of the river and the development of
the river system as a recreational amenity. Early efforts included working with the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) to construct low-water
dams that created more aesthetically pleasing water levels, and collaborating with the Park & Recreation Department (PARD) to build trails along
the riverbanks. In 1971, fewer than three miles of trail existed along the river. By 2003, there were 30 miles of trails, and today, more than 72 miles
of trails are in place.
The centerpiece of the proposed park enhancement is the Phyllis J. Tilley (PJT) Memorial Bridge, completed in August 2012, which connects the
Central Business District with the Cultural District. The enhancement plan at Tilley Plaza will include redesigned pathways connecting to the
pedestrian bridge, a tree grove with seating overlooking the river, and enhanced landscaping with ornamental trees and native plantings. Electrical
upgrades will also be included, providing outdoor receptacles to support various programming.
The project was advertised in Star Telegram on April 3 and 10th, 2025. The following bids were received on May 29th, 2025:

Representatives from TRWD, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, City of Fort Worth Water Department, and (PARD) have reviewed the construction
activities associated with the proposed park enhancements. All parties agree that the planned improvements will not interfere with existing
infrastructure or create any obstruction issues related to the Trinity River.
Construction of Tilley Plaza is scheduled to begin in November 2025 and will last for approximately six months.
PARD proposes that the City provide community partnership funds as a 1:1 match to the contributions from S&V. These combined funds will
support all approved park improvements within an approximately one -acre area directly adjacent to the PJT Memorial Bridge on the west bank of
the Trinity River in Trinity Park. Funding for the Tilley Plaza park improvements will be as follows:
Fund Name Authorityll Amount
General Capital Projects Fund (Future This M&C $750,000.00
Community Partnership)
Special Donations Capital Project Fund This M&C $750,000.00
(S&V)
Total Funding $1,500,000.00
The park improvements at Tilley Plaza are estimated to increase PARD's annual maintenance costs by $6,000.00 beginning in Fiscal Year 2026
In addition, S&V will be required to enter into a Maintenance Agreement with PARD for the funding and management of enhanced landscape
maintenance for the life of the improvement.
Funding for this project was not included in the FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) due to verification of partnership funds after the CIP
submission deadlines. The action in this M&C will amend the FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan as approved in connection with Ordinance
27107-09-2024.
Funding is budgeted in the Future Community Partnership Program for this project.
Trinity Park is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Future Community Partnerships programmable project within the General
Capital Projects Fund and the Special Donations Cap Projects Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the General Capital Projects Fund and Special Donations Cap Projects Fund for the
Trinity Park -Tilley Plaza project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Park & Recreation Department has the responsibility of verifying the
availability of funds.
