DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to expand the scope of the existing contract to include 2026 Bond Transportation Project Development support and the Altamesa Project Support and Hydrology Study. On May 1, 2024, the City of Fort Worth (City) executed a contract with TranSystems Corporation dba TranSystems Corporation Consultants (TranSystems) in the amount of $95,000 for Citywide General Planning Consultant work (City Secretary Contract No.61353). The scope includes risk assessments, planning -level schematics, funding profiles, and preliminary schedules for various projects. On August 15, 2024, the City Council authorized Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $1,295,000.00 for enhanced services under the same scope (M&C 24-0564). On November 7, 2024, the City of Fort Worth executed Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $90,000 to the agreement with TranSystems to add assistance for the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grant using the SMART Grant funds awarded by the Federal government (CSC No. 61353-A2). 2026 Bond Transportation Development On October 15, 2024, the City Council appropriated $2,500,000.00 to fund the 2026 Bond Development Project (M&C 24-0917), which will fund a portion of this third amendment to the General Planning contract. The amendment will align project scopes with funding plans and early design efforts and improve coordination among partners for major roadway priorities. The additional scope includes travel demand modeling, planning -level schematics, and project schedules, amongst other tasks. This work will also prepare candidate projects for federal funding competitiveness and other partner funding leverage opportunities. More specifically, the consultant will develop risk and scope assessments for major roadway bond project candidates to provide an increased level of confidence in on -time and on -budget project delivery. The attached appropriation ordinance in the amount of $95,000.00 will close the funding gap of the General Planning Consultants project (City Project No. 105288) for the first amendment to the contract (City Secretary No. 61353-A1).
