DESIGN AND ENGINEERING CONTRACT Page 31 of 31 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 11/11/2003 DATE: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 LOG NAME: 22HYDE PARK TCB REFERENCE NO.: **C-19848 SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Joint Contract with the Fort Worth Transportation Authority and Tumer Collie & Braden, Inc. for the Planning, Design, and Engineering of the Hyde Park Transit Plaza Project RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a joint contract with the Fort Worth Transportation Authority and Turner Collie & Braden, Inc. (TCB) for the planning, design, and engineering of the Hyde Park Transit Plaza project, for an amount not to exceed $470,000; and 2. Authorize payment to the Fort Worth Transportation Authority for the City's share of local matching funds in the amount of$148,000. DISCUSSION: The City of Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (the T), the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. (DFWI), and adjacent property owners are working together to reestablish Hyde Park as Downtown Fort Worth's civic square. This transit-oriented public space was originally conceptualized in 1999 by consultants studying the Intermodal Transportation Center (ITC) at Ninth and Jones Streets. Signs of progress are already visible, including the sculpture fountain in the section of Hyde Park adjacent to the Flatiron Building. In a closely related effort, the T and the City are working collaboratively to design and construct the central public space within the square: the Hyde Park Transit Plaza on the former library site at Ninth and Throckmorton Streets. The City Council has previously appropriated local matching funds and authorized a partnership with the T for the Hyde Park Transit Plaza. The City Council appropriated local matching funds for design and construction in the amount of$148,000 on March 19, 2002 (M&C G-13550). On November 26, 2002 (M&C C-19364), the City Council authorized an interlocal agreement between the two entities for this project, and adopted a resolution formally designating "Hyde Park" as the official name for the proposed transit-oriented civic square. On June 3, 2003, the City Council received an update on the design consultant selection process as part of a more comprehensive presentation on the various initiatives of the Lancaster Corridor Redevelopment Project. The consultant selection process is now complete, and the project partners are prepared to enter into a contract for the design of the Hyde Park Transit Plaza with the preferred design team led by local firm TCB. The contract's scope of services will result in final construction drawings for the Transit Plaza and the Ninth/Throckmorton/Tenth/Jennings intersection. In addition, conceptual plans will explore ways to improve other public spaces in the Hyde Park area and to integrate those spaces with the Transit Plaza. Hyde Park's other public spaces include: the portion of the original Hyde Park now known as Logname: 22HYDE PARK TCB Page 1 of 3 Federal Plaza; the remaining triangular section of Hyde Park adjacent to the Flatiron Building; John Peter Smith Park just north of Saint Patrick Cathedral; City Hall Plaza at the north end of City Hall; and the Tenth Street Pedestrian Mall between the SBC Communications and Park Central Hotel buildings. The design team is an interdisciplinary group with extensive experience in the design of public spaces. Antonio Di Mambro will serve as lead urban designer and landscape architect, local architect Karl Komatsu will serve as lead architect, and Ann Kovich and Steve James of TCB will serve as project manager and lead engineer, respectively. The Hyde Park and Ninth Street Consultant Selection Committee, appointed by former Mayor Kenneth Barr and chaired by Councilmember Wendy Davis, selected the TCB team from among a group of four finalists. The design fee represents 13.4 percent of total project costs. "phis percentage is consistent with design costs for similar capital improvement projects that involve a combination of planning, urban design, and engineering tasks. Staff has determined the fee to be fair and reasonable. The design and construction budget is listed in the table below. Status Grant Grantee Purpose Federal Q tj[ The T TOTAL Secured FTA The T Transit Plaza $1,184,000 $148,000 $148,000 $1,480,000 (CMAQ) design and Construction Unsecured CMAQ The T Construction $1,600,000 $200,000 $200,000 $2,000,000 (NCTCOG of Ninth Street Transit realignment Partnership and additional No. 2) improvements TOTAL $2,784,000 $348,000 $348,000 $3,480,000 It is anticipated that unsecured funds will be secured from future grants and local matching funds from the City and the T. The City and the T will jointly execute the Hyde Park Transit Plaza design contract with TCB. In a related Mayor and Council Communication, staff is requesting authorization to enter into a separate contract with TCB for the design of improvements along Ninth Street between Hyde Park and the Intermodal Transportation Center. Since the T and the City are the recipients of separate federal transportation grants for the Hyde Park Transit Plaza and Ninth Street projects, respectively, the administration of the grant funds requires separate contracts. Tumer Collie & Braden, Inc. is in compliance with the City's DBE Ordinance by committing to 30%Q DBE participation. The City's DBE goal on this progect is 25%. This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9. FISCAL INFORMATIONXERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Critical Projects Improvements Fund.
