CODE: C TYPE: Page 1 of 3 **M&C 25- LOG NAME: 1159 Official site of the City of Fort Worth, Texas FflRT��'ORTH _�_ 20TRANSYSTEMS CONTRACT AMENDMENT # 4 CONSENT PUBLIC NO HEARING: SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of Amendment No. 4 to a Professional Services Agreement with TranSystems Corporation dba TranSystems Corporation Consultants in the Amount of $201,740.00 for General On-Call Transportation Planning and Pre-Engineering Services for a Revised Contract Amount of $2,880,290.00; Adopt Appropriation Ordinances; and Amend the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council 1. Authorize execution of Amendment No. 4, in the amount of $201,740.00, to the Professional Services Agreement with TranSystems Corporation dba TranSystems Corporation Consultants (City Secretary Contract No. 61353) for a revised contract amount of $2,880,290.00 for general on-call transportation planning and pre-engineering services; 2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting the estimated receipts and appropriations in the General Capital Projects Fund by increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the General Planning Consultants Task Orders (City Project No. 105288) in the amount of $98,910.00, and decreasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Contract Street Maintenance programmable project (City Project No. P00020) by the same amount; 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting the estimated receipts and approprations in the General Capital Projects Fund by increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the General Planning Consultants Task Orders (City Project No. 105288) in the amount of $79,690.46, and decreasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Contract Transit Initiatives programmable project (P00129) by the same amount; and 4. Amend the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to increase the contract capacity of the existing contract with TranSystems Corporation dba TranSystems Corporation Consultants (TranSystems) for additional planning and pre-engineering work tied to the General Planning Consultant scope. In December 2023, the Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW), Regional Transportation and Innovation Division, published a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for various engineering consulting services. Based on the results of the RFQ, TranSystems Corporation dba TranSystems Corporation Consultants was selected as the most qualified consultant for this contract. An initial contract of $95,000.00 was executed in May 2024. On June 25, 2024, the City Council authorized Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $1,295,000.00 for the same scope of work (M&C 24-0564). On November 7, 2024, Amendment No. 2 increased the contract by $90,000.00 for project support and engagement work associated with the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grant. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council�acket/mc review.asp?ID=34020&councildate=l2/9/2025 1/26/2026 M&C Review Page 2 of 3 On March 25, 2025, the City Council authorized Amendment No. 3 in the amount of $1,198,550.00 for the 2026 Bond Project Support and the East Altamesa Extension Hydrology Study (M&C 25- 0254). In preparation for the upcoming bond meetings, TranSystems performed a scope of work that was paid $23,139.54 with funds outside of the project. Those funds were used to contract capacity, which needs to be replenished through a contract amendment. This amendment will enable the city to issue task orders for planning and pre-engineering work on projects such as bridge and roadway schematics, corridor construction phasing, intersection improvement cost estimates, funding applications, and modeling. These services will inform the public, coordinate with the City's partners, and prepare projects for National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) clearance and funding opportunities (city bond, local, state, and federal grants, etc.). One of the main deliverables will be assistance with compliance with Federal Railroad Administration Regulations for the railroad's Quiet Zones and a schematic for the White Settlement at-grade crossing. Task orders will be issued as funding is received. Task orders whose funding exceeds $100,000.00 will generally have funds appropriated through M&C.

This task order contract will serve current and future capital projects as-needed, and a funds availability verification will be performed by Transportation & Public Works Contract Compliance Managers prior to task order assignment.
