FBI 1911F The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of a construction contract with McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., in an amount up to $4,901,880.55 for the construction of Bomber Spur Trail Phase 1; accept a refund from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in the amount of $108,575.21; and appropriate the refund for use in funding the Bomber Spur Trail Phase 1. Since the refund from the Trinity Trails Clearfork- East Bank Extension (City Project No. CO2156) has already been issued by TxDOT and received by the City in July 2025, no additional action is needed by TxDOT, therefore it is at the discretion of the City as to how to allocate the funds. PARD recommends the appropriation of these funds to the Bomber Spur Trail Phase 1 Project (City Project No. 104345) to cover possible project overruns. City Council approved an Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with TxDOT in the amount of $6,476,198.00 on August 22, 2023 (M&C 23-705) for the engineering and construction of Bomber Spur Trail Phase 1 (City Project No. 104345). Bomber Spur Trail Phase 1 will start at Calmont Avenue and terminate at US Route 377. Anticipated improvements include a 12-foot wide concrete shared -use path, a pedestrian crossing at Camp Bowie West Boulevard, a pedestrian bridge over US Route 377, trail structures (retaining walls, drainage infrastructure, etc.), and trail signage. The project was posted on the City Purchasing website and advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on September 3 and September 10, 2025.
