Newnam, Inc., in the amount of $281,720.00 for the development of a Right -of -Way Management Ordinance (City Project No. 106498).
The Transportation & Public Works (TPW) Department is leading a multi -departmental effort to develop and implement a comprehensive Right -of -
Way (ROW) Management Ordinance for the City of Fort Worth to consolidate City Code sections into one location and to improve the City's ability
to manage work performed in the City's ROW by evaluating and improving permitting, construction insurance and bonding, and enforcement
requirements.The project includes staff extension services for the development of a comprehensive Right -of -Way Management Ordinance,
including project management, research and reporting regarding similar ordinances for other municipalities, and development of draft ordinance
content language and required revisions of City Code. City Staff will perform stakeholder engagement and finalize and process the final ordinance.
In September 2023, TPW accepted Statements of Qualifications for the supplemental to the 2020 Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for various
consulting services. A pool of five (5) firms were prequalified for staff augmentation. TPW selected Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc., as the
most qualified consultant to provide the professional services for this project.
Funding for this project was not included in the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program due to the scope of this work effort not
being completed in time to be incorporated into the Capital Improvement Program at the time of adoption. The action in the M&C will amend the
Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 27979-09-2025.
Funding is available in the Transfer from General proceeds within Unspecified -All Funds project (City Project No. UNSPEC) within the General
Capital Projects Fund for the Right -of -Way Management Ordinance project (City Project No. 106498).
This project will serve ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.

Fund for the ROW Management Ordinance Dev project to support the approval of the above recommendations and execution of the agreement.
Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Transportation & Public Works Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
