ATTACHMENT A: Scope of Work Scope of Work 01 for Consultant to Prepare a Transit v Ori ented Development T Plan and Implementing Forrr aw ased Code for the TCU erry Station Area. BACKGROUND, The City of Fort Worth was granted funding for the TCU/Berry Station planning project through the North Central Texas Council of Government's 2009-2010 Sustainable Development Call for Projects, Together, the City of Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T), Texas Christian, University(TCU), and the Berry Street Initiative have partnered to create a transit-oriented development (TOD)plan and implementable form-based code for the TCU/Berry Station area., The TCU/Berry Station will be located near the southwest',corner of the intersection of West Berry Street and Cleburne Road on the Fort Worth and Western Railroad (FWWR). This station is expected to draw residents, employees, business patrons and students from the surrounding, area. The station site is within one-quarter mile walking distance of' Paschal High School and West Berry Street retail deveel pment, and within one mile of the TCU campus. The project is located on the planned Tarrant Express Rail (TAX Rail) formerly known as the Southwest-to-Northeast Rail Corridor. The commuter rail corridor is a 37-mile long line between for southwest Fort Worth and the all Worth (DPW) International Airport. From southwest Fort Worth, the rail corridor passes through the TCU and Medical District areas,, into downtown Fort Worth (with connections to the Trinity Railway Express, commuter rail line), then,through northeast Fort Worth and several suburban communities in Tarrant,County, including downtown Grapevine, and finally into the north end of the DFW Airport terminals. Past studies of the area have identified constraints and opportunities for redevelopment, as well as provisions for commuter rail. In 2007, the City of Fort Worth adopted a master plan for the Berry/U n i,versity Urban Vi'll�age to describe and, facilitate desired future development and to make recommendations that promote quality urban, development throughout the urban, village. At the same time, The T initiated the TEX Rail project and its Environmental Impact Statement/Preliminary Engineering process. During this process, The T created a station area plan that recommended guiding principles and established a,framework plan for the area immediately surround,ing the proposed station. More recently, the City of Fort Worth commenced a consultant-led stormwater feasible option study to evalu ate flood prevention alternatives,within the TCU/Berry Station area and its surrounding watershed, This study identified some general recommendations for sitormwater detention/retention and conveyance that could create a unique opportunity to include storm water management features, as significant urban amenities for the higher density community that is envisioned around the TCU/'Berry Station. The City of Fort Worth is continuing to study options for effective storm water management in the TCU/Berry Station area,. Interlocal Cooper�i_iar%&%reement Page 5 NCTCOG and CITY OF FORT WORTH 10 r%oft 0%Wft rw Aft, AN&NMI KVI1Z L)F Zb PRIMARY WORK PRODUCTS The end product of this study will be an adoption-ready transit-oriented development (TOD) plan and impleImentable form-based code for the TCU/Berry Station. The project boundaries are depicted in the attached map, and generally include the area within up to a one-half mile radius from the T'CU,/Berry Station platform as well as the Berry Street corridor connecting the station to Texas Christian: University (TCU)via the BerrylUniversity Urban Village. The form-based code created through this project is intended to supersede the present zoning ordinance and other local land development regulations as, they apply to the TCU/Berry Station area. This form-based code is to be consistent with the definition,s/termin,ology,development principles,format and administrative procedures established by other adopted form-based codes in the City of Fort Worth (Trinity Uptown, the Near Sc uthside and Camp Bowie). INITIAL REVIEW AND ANALYSIS 1 Staff and'Stakehalder Interviews. The Consultant will interview appropriate stak,eholders affected by or involved with the project. Groups and individuals to be interviewed should include elected officials,, Berry Street Initiative members, property owners, neighborhood representatives, local design professionals, developers,, business(es), neighboring educational institutions, The T staf, and,City of Fort Worth staff. City staff, with the input from the Consultant,will arrange and schedule the appropriate interview panels. 2. GIS and Site Location Analysis. The Consultant will become familiar with the physical details of the TCU/Berry Station area including stormwater and other infrastructure needs and the existing patterns of development and architecture in the surrounding neighborhoods. The City will provide the Consultant with, GIS shapefiles of the area and known utilitles along with the relevant studies and reports outlined below to guide the TO D planning. * TCU/B err y Station,Area Plan (including market study component and design principles). • The Goodman Corp 2000 Concept Plan for the Berry Street Redevelopment Program. TCU Study of Economic Impact of Paschal High School. Berry/University Urban Village Master Plan, adopted December 20017.

Fort Worth Parks Master Plan as it relates to the study area. Stormwater Feasible Options Study(Forest Park/Berry section). Trinity Uptown, the Near Southsid,e and Camp Bowie form-based codes (for the purpose of developing the TCU/Berry form based code appropriately consistent with the previous adopted form-based codes.,). 3. Websilte and Other Outreach. The Consultant will provide information for the City of Fort Worth's website and prepare public presentation boards. As City officials deem, appropriate, the Consultant will provide materials including text, photographs, GiS maps, renderings, and other images for public presentation boards and for the website in JPEG or other formats identified by the City. This material will describe the Consultant's credentials and help explain the project's process, progress, and work products.

The Consultant will organize and lead design workshops or a full charrette process to engage the community, gather ideas and develop goals, and formulate implementation strategies. The Consultant will tailor the workshops or charrette to obtain maximum community input so, as to produce the best possible master development plan on which to base the new code. The charrette format, will also take into consideration the findings of the initial site analysis, input from staff, and information obtained at previous meetings, workshops, and interviews. While the end result will be new land development regulations, the public process will include, discussions of alternatives for street design, street coninectivilty, green infrastructure and Low Impact Development for storm water management, and urban planning strategies that create vital TOD areas with livable nearby neighborhoods. At the conclusion of the charrette or workshops , the Consultant will present the work generated to, date. Plans, renderings, and initial coding ideas that reflect the long-term development vision,articulated in the workshops and refined by the design team will be publicly presented and further feedback solicited from the community.
