DISCUSSION
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to adopt a resolution
authorizing execution of an Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) in the amount of $1,135,212.19 with Federal participation in the amount
of $889,075.80, State participation in the amount of $196,136.39 and City participation in the
amount of $50,000.00 for the intersection improvements at the Farm to Market Road (FM) 156
and Chaplin Drive project (City Project No. 107031).
The intersection improvements at the Farm to Market Road (FM) 156 and Chaplin Drive project
will improve the efficiency of the traffic flow while increasing the visibility and safety. The scope
of work for the project consists of installing a traffic signal and pedestrian signals, installing
pedestrian crosswalks to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations,
providing safety lighting at the intersection, and refreshing pavement markings.
This project is expected to be let by TxDOT in August 2027. TxDOT is responsible for all
construction activities within the scope of this project. Further, TxDOT is responsible for securing
the Federal and State share of the funding required for the development and construction of
the project along with any cost overruns for construction. City funds appropriated for this
project include professional engineering services and local participation.
No advance payment to TxDOT is required for this project. The final payment to TxDOT for local
participation will be based on actual costs. At the end of the project, the asset will remain with
the City of Fort Worth.

This project is included in the 2022 Bond Program. The City's Extendable Commercial Paper
(ECP) (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance 25675-08-2022) provides liquidity to support the
appropriation. Available resources will be used to actually make any interim progress
payments until debt is issued. Once debt associated with a project is sold, debt proceeds will
reimburse the interim financing source in accordance with the statement expressing official
Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election
(Ordinance 25515-05-2022).
Funding for the grant portion of the project was not included in the Fiscal Years 2026-2030
Capital Improvement Program because grant funding is appropriated at the time of the grant
award. 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 budgeted for the Farm to Market Road 156 and Chaplin Drive project (City Project
No. 107031) in the 2022 Bond Program Funds for the Transportation and Public Works
Department, as appropriated.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 10.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher
education, therefore a Form 1295 is not required.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and
adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current
capital budgets, as appropriated, in the Grants Cap Projects Federal Fund, the Grants Capital
Project State Fund, and the 2022 Bond Program Fund. The Transportation and Public Works
Department (and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and
deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Transportation and
Public Works Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a
State Advance Funding Agreement.
