Re: Supplemental Agreement#3
Garden Acres Bridge Phase II
City Project#01802, DOE#6749
Dear Mrs. Smith:
URS is pleased to present our scope of work and fee for the above referenced project.
The items below represent additional work on the final PS&E that were requested by TxDOT in 60% Plan
Review comments and interim project and schematic discussions with the City of Fort Worth and TxDOT:
Discussed with City of Fort Worth at Progress Meeting on March 11th, 2014:
• Illumination design and detailing for underpass lighting for the mainlanes on IH 35W
under both the existing and proposed bridges. Previous fee and scope in prior
agreements covered illumination at the adjacent intersections only.
• Illumination design and detailing for overpass lighting on the bridges for both the existing
and proposed bridges. Previous fee and scope in prior agreements covered illumination
at the adjacent intersections only.
• Bridge design and detailing for replacement of the existing bridge rail on the North side of
the existing Garden Acres Bridge. Previous fee and scope in prior agreements covered
replacement of the existing bridge rail on the South side of the existing Garden Acres
Bridge only.
• Additional traffic control plan and phased construction revisions for replacement of the
existing bridge rail on the North side of Garden Acres Bridge. Previous fee and scope in
prior agreements covered traffic control for the replacement of the existing rail on the
South side of the existing bridge only.
• Additional topographic survey and roadway modifications to accommodate construction
of new 7-11 store on Northwest corner of McPherson Boulevard and lH 35W Southbound
Frontage Road.
• Bridge design and detailing for preparation of a complete Bridge Layout for the existing
Garden Acres Bridge to accommodate rail replacement on both sides of the existing
bridge and illumination on the South side of the existing bridge in conjunction with the
new sidewalk. Previous fee and scope covered a single bridge modification detail for
sidewalk retrofit with no bridge layout or bridge profile design.
Discussed with City of Fort Worth and TxDOT at Progress Meeting on March 281", 2014:
• Develop centerline profiles for IH 35 mainlanes. Not in previous fee or scope.
• Develop centerline profile for frontage road modifications. Not in previous fee or scope.

• Develop centerline profile for existing Garden Acres Bridge. Not in previous fee or scope.
• Develop centerline profile for Old Burleson Road. Not in previous fee or scope.
• Prepare Design Waiver for Turn Lane Length on East side for Old Burleson Road access.
Not in previous fee or scope.
• Prepare Large Guide Sign Schematic. Not in previous fee or scope.
• Develop existing and proposed cross sections for the frontage road modifications. Not in
previous fee or scope.
• Develop existing and proposed cross sections for existing Garden Acres Bridge. Not in
previous fee or scope.

with new checklist format and to reflect Federal considerations with CMAQ funds being
added to the project funding. Not in previous fee or scope.
• Revise the schematic horizontal and vertical scales to include IH 35 centerline profile,
frontage road profiles, existing Garden Acres Bridge and proposed bridge profiles. Not in
previous fee or scope.
Discussed with City of Fort Worth and TxDOT at Progress Meeting on September 4"', 2014:
• TxDOT requested the Traffic Analysis be revised using traffic data that TxDOT will
provide. Also, TxDOT inquired about the volume of left turn movements from eastbound
Garden Acres Drive to northbound Old Burleson Road. The design engineer will need to
evaluate those movements to determine a left turn storage length for those movements.
There is no existing data for these left turn movements. Therefore, traffic counts will
need to be performed to establish the number of left turn movements at this location. Not
in previous fee or scope.
• TxDOT stated the existing grade break at intersection of existing eastbound McPherson
Blvd. and existing southbound Frontage Road does not meet current TxDOT design
criteria. The design engineer will develop roadway plans to eliminate non-compliant
grade break at intersection of existing eastbound McPherson Blvd. and existing
southbound Frontage Road. Not in previous fee or scope.
• TxDOT is launching its new electronic environmental submittal and review system in
early October. The environmental review for the project will need to conform to the new
system. Not in previous fee or scope.
• Revise striping on schematic and permanent traffic control plans to incorporate a shared
use lane on the existing bridge to accommodate bicycle traffic. Not in previous fee or
scope.
• TxDOT recently let a project to construct Slope Surface Concrete Barriers (SSCB) along
the northbound and southbound main lanes of IH35W. The design engineer will be
required to incorporate modifications to the newly installed SSCB into the project
drawings to extend the SSCB through and beyond the new bridge structure. Not in
previous fee or scope.
Tins
0 TxDOT stated a left turn lane would be required if the level of service for the southbound
service road is significantly degraded based upon the revised Traffic Analysis. Not in
previous fee or scope.
The plans will be designed according to City of Fort Worth and TxDOT Fort Worth District standards and
construction specifications.
The supplemental fee for this scope of services is $125,500.00. A summary of the total project is as
follows:
BASIC FEE MMBE

COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 1212/2014
DATE: 12/2/2014 REFERENCE NO.: **C-27095 LOG NAME: 20GARDEN ACRES
BRIDGE II AMEND 3
CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Amendment No. 3 to City Secretary Contract No. 43361, an
Engineering Services Agreement with URS Corporation, in the Amount of$125,500.00
for Design of the Garden Acres Bridge Over Interstate Highway 35W Phase 2, Thereby
Increasing the Total Contract Amount to $714,592.58 (COUNCIL DISTRICT 6)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of Amendment No. 3 to City
Secretary Contract No. 43361, an Engineering Agreement with URS Corporation, in the amount of
$125,500.00 for design of the Garden Acres Bridge over Interstate Highway 35W Phase 2, thereby
increasing the total contract amount to $714,592.58.
DISCUSSION:
This Agreement provides for the design of a three-lane bridge at Garden Acres Drive and McPherson
Boulevard over Interstate Highway 35W to ultimately help accommodate a six-lane divided principal
arterial. Phase 1 of the Project has been completed. This Amendment applies to the design of
Phase 2.
The 2008 Bond Program included $6,000,000.00 for capacity improvements for the Garden Acres
Bridge. It was originally planned that City funds would fund the bridge improvements. The 2014 cost
estimates are approaching $9,000,000.00 to complete the project. Staff, working with the North
Central Texas Council of Governments and TxDOT, created a funding partnership to fully fund the
Garden Acres Bridge.
As a result of the additional funding, the construction phase of the project will now be managed by
TxDOT. Therefore, additional features are being incorporated into the design plans as well as
modifications to the construction contract bid documents. These features/services include utilization
of TxDOT standards and construction specifications for the design of the new bridge and upgrading
the existing bridge; additional street lighting; bridge railing and modifications to the freeway
signage. Under this proposed Amendment, URS Corporation will perform additional engineering
design, surveying, and design plan modifications as necessary. Funds for this Amendment will be
provided from the 2008 Capital Improvements Program Fund.
The following table summarizes previous contract actions and amendments:
