RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize execution of a contract with C. Green Scaping, LP, in the amount of $571,578.40, for construction of the Fort Worth Public Art State
Highway 121 project (City Project No. C01639);

Project No. 102675) by the same amount; and
3. Amend the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) authorizes execution of a contract with C. Green Scaping, LP, in the amount of $571,578.40, for
construction of the Fort Worth Public Art State Highway 121 project. The project's scope of work consists of installing large monument letters
spelling the words "Fort Worth" on State Highway 121, from Maxine Street to Beach Street, for eastbound drivers. The letters will include a mixture
of native flowers, lighting, and grass landscaping.
The previous budget allocation for the project was $492,198.44. Due to inflation and increases in the construction market, the project has
experienced funding shortfalls. This M&C will appropriate an additional $310,621.10 to cover the shortfall. In addition to the contract amount, the
additional funds are required for project management, construction phase services and a new design contract for the consultant.
The project was advertised for bid on July 25, 2024, and August 1, 2024, in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram. On August 22, 2024, the following bids
were received:

Due to the state funding received for this project, vendors were required to be pre -qualified by the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) in
order to be awarded the bid. Fort Worth Civil Constructors' bid was deemed non -responsive as they were not pre -qualified for this scope of work
and had incomplete forms. On November 18, 2024, TXDOT provided concurrence of the bid award for the apparent low bidder, C. Green Scaping,
LP, for the base bid in the amount of $571,578.40.
Construction for this project is expected to start in April 2025 and be completed by February 2026. Funding is budgeted in the Specially Funded
Projects and Grants Capital Project State Funds for the TPW Department for the purpose of funding the FWPA SH121 (Former 1-30) Art project.
The following table demonstrates the total budget for the project:

federal requirements.
