DISCUSSION:
North Tarrant Infrastructure, LLC (NTI), has requested the assistance of the Fort Worth Police Department
(F D) to use off-duty police officers in marked police vehicles to provide traffic control services on an as
needed basis during the course of the reconstruction oft the portion of 1-35W reconstruction project
between 1-30 and the 1-35W/1-820 interchange. NTI will compensate the off-duty officers directly and will
also compensate the City of Fort Worth (City) for a portion of the costs associated with using marked
police vehicles,.
The cost of operating a marked police vehicle is calculated at 11.90 per hour, including all equipment,
gasoline, maintenance, and wear& tear. NTI has offered to reimburse the City at a rte of r hour„
per vehicle. This amount is consistent with the amount NTI reimburses other surrounding jurisdictions for
similar services on construction related projects. The estimated annual revenue to be generated by
providing this service is approximately $163,200.00, which will be split between the General Fund and the
Crime Control Prevention District Fund in accordance with the expenditures incurred. The estimated
annual cost to the City for non-reimbursed expenses is approximately $182,784.00. I will not be
providing any insurance on the use of the vehicles; therefore, the City will also be covering any associated
Logrianac: 35TRA.F ICS CryON"I"ROL, SERVICES Page 1 of
costs for damage to the vehicles.
Although the reimbursement being offered by NTI does not cover the full operating cost, FWPD
recommends that the City Council find there is a public benefit to allowing the use of marked police
vehicles for this project and that adequate controls are in place to make sure the public purpose is carried
out, Having off-duty FWPD officers provide traffic control services in marked police vehicles will help keep
a major infrastructure project that is a priority to transportation in the City safe and orderly. The
Agreement between the City and NTI ills as the control to make surethe public purpose is carried
out.
The term oft Agreement shall be for one year beginning upon execution. The Agreement shall have
four automatic renewals of one year each, unless either party terminates upon written notice to the other
party prior to the renewal term. The Agreement is anticipated to last through project completion, which is
estimated to be in 2018.
