Transportation Impact Fee Fund in the amount of$450,000.00 from available funds;
2. Authorize the revised scope of the Enhanced Community Facilities Agreement with Bell Helicopter
Textron, Inc., for the reconstruction of Norwood Drive between Trinity Boulevard and State Highway 10,
thereby increasing City participation in the project by $450,000.00 for a revised total City participation
amount of$2,395,000.00 and establishing a completion deadline for the project of December 30, 2015;
3. Authorize the execution of a Public Road Crossing Agreement with the Trinity Railway Express for
signal and crossing panel construction at the Railroad Crossing at Norwood Drive; and
4. Authorize the temporary closure of Norwood Drive from March 2, 2015 to August 21, 2015 for
construction activities.
DISCUSSION:
On December 18, 2012, (M&C C-26027) the City Council approved the execution of an Enhanced
Community Facilities Agreement (ECFA) with Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. (Bell), in an amount not to
exceed $1,770,000.00 in City funds for the reconstruction of Norwood Drive between Trinity Boulevard
and State Highway 10, for an estimated total project cost of $2,687,500.00. Of the City's amount,
$1,000,000.00 was budgeted from the 2007 Critical Capital Program Enhanced CFA funds and
$770,000.00 was budgeted from Transportation Impact Fee Funds. M&C C-26027 was subsequently
amended on April 15, 2014 (M&C C-26761) to increase the City's participation by $175,000.00 in
additional Transportation Impact Fee funds increasing the City's participation in the project to
$1,945,000.00 for an estimated total project amount of $2,862,500.00. In addition to the City's
participation, Tarrant County has pledged the amount of$628,434.40 toward the project, which is included
in the overall total project amount.

Since the approval of M&C C-26761, additional offsite drainage improvements in the amount of
$149,170.00 were identified by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., the design engineer. These costs are
not eligible for transportation impact fee funding and will be paid from the 2007 Critical Capital Program
Enhanced CFA funds. The additional Transportation Impact Fee Funds of $149,170.00 will be used for
eligible construction costs of the Project.
A Railroad Agreement with Trinity Railway Express in the amount of$300,830.00 has been negotiated to
pay the cost of improvements to the railroad crossing allowing the crossing to become a Quiet Zone and
will be paid from Transportation Impact Fee funds. These additional costs have increased the City's
participation to $2,395,000.00 and the overall project amount from $2,862,500.00 to $3,323,669.97.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the revised scope of the ECFA as described, extending
the completion deadline for the project from September 30, 2015 to December 30, 2015 and increasing
the City's funding obligations by the amount of $450,000.00 bringing the City's total participation in the
project to $2,395,000.00. Bell will be responsible for any costs of the project in excess of total combined
amount (City and County participation, Bell's contribution) of $3,323,669.97. This project was
competitively bid by Bell pursuant to state law. Additionally, Bell's contractor, CD Builders requests the
temporary closure of Norwood Drive from Trinity Boulevard to State Highway 10 from March 2, 2015 to
August 21, 2015 to install waterline improvements, internal storm drain, driveways and roadway
reconstruction from Trinity Boulevard to just north of THE Railroad. This is to widen Norwood Drive from
Trinity Boulevard to THE Railroad from a two-lane concrete roadway to a three-lane concrete roadway
and improve the asphalt roadway from the THE Railroad to State Highway 10.
A phased traffic control plan is part of the contract for the roadway improvements and access to all
properties will be maintained at all times along Norwood Drive. The construction will be performed in
phases along Norwood Drive. The full closure is requested due to the following reasons:
. The existing roadway width will be consumed with the proposed roadway and storm drain
improvements along Norwood Drive the entire length of the project.
. The roadway will be widened at the railroad crossing therefore requiring the railroad crossings to be
reconstructed and new railroad signal gates to be installed.
. The roadway profile will be raised to improve the sight distance at the railroad crossing.
The traffic control phasing plan will be coordinated with other CFA projects in the area. Notification of
residential property owners and local businesses who will be affected by this project is planned.
Street closures in excess of 10 days require the approval of City Council. TPW Traffic Management has
reviewed, and concurs, with this request.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISRICT 5, Mapsco 53X and 67B.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
