discover latent defects in the work or otherwise check the quality or quantity
of the work on the PROJECT. If the ENGINEER makes on-site
observation(s) of a deviation from the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER
shall inform the CITY.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of
materials, systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the

progress payments to the construction contractor will be based on the
ENGINEER's knowledge, information, and belief from selective sampling
and observation that the work has progressed to the point indicated. Such
recommendations do not represent that continuous or detailed examinations
have been made by the ENGINEER to ascertain that the construction
contractor has completed the work in exact accordance with the Contract
Documents; that the final work will be acceptable in all respects; that the
ENGINEER has made an examination to ascertain how or for what purpose
the construction contractor has used the moneys paid; that title to any of the

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 6/9/2015 - Ordinance No. 21776-06-2015
DATE: Tuesday, June 09, 2015 REFERENCE NO.: G-18499
LOG NAME: 55FTW ONCOR UTILITY RELOC ALONG N MAIN ST DESIGN (02187)
SUBJECT:
Authorize Use of Revenue Derived from Mineral Leases on Airport Property in an Amount Up to
$1,500,000.00 for Phase 1 of the Airport Improvements Program Along North Main Street at Fort Worth
Meacham International Airport, Adopt Appropriation Ordinance, Authorize Execution of a Utility Relocation
Reimbursement Agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC, in an Amount Up to $1,115,200.00
and Authorize Execution of an Engineering Services Agreement with Garver, LLC, in an Amount Up to
$384,800.00 (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the use of revenue derived from mineral leases on airport property in an amount up to
$1,500,000.00 for Phase 1 of the Airport Improvements Program along North Main Street at Fort Worth
Meacham International Airport;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Airports Gas Lease Project Fund in an amount up to $1,500,000.00;
3. Authorize the execution of a Utility Relocation Reimbursement Agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery
Company LLC, in an amount up to $1,115,200.00 to bury electric delivery lines on airport property; and
4. Authorize the execution of an Engineering Services Agreement with Garver, LLC, in an amount up to
$384,800.00 for engineering services associated with the Oncor Utility Relocation.
DISCUSSION:
On November 5, 2013, (M&C C-26550) the City Council authorized the execution of an Engineering
Services Agreement with Garver, LLC, in the amount of$356,092.00 for the design of Airport
Improvements along North Main Street at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Meacham Airport).
As part of this Agreement, it was determined that the section along North Main Street at Meacham Airport,
starting just south of Interstate 820 and following North Main Street south to 38th Street, would benefit
most from this improvement. The Improvement Program will correct deficiencies, increase available
development and create a cleaner, more attractive entry to the airport while increasing opportunities for
interorganizational/joint infrastructure, using a phased approach. The phasing is necessary to allow each
project to be completed as funding becomes available. The primary areas to be addressed are:
• PROJECT I: Utility Relocation - Bury electric delivery lines along North Main Street;
• PROJECT II: Drainage and Fencing Improvements - Replacement of existing retaining walls;
Curbing between Terminal Road and Meacham Boulevard; Storm drainage between Terminal Road
Logname: 55FTW ONCOR UTILITY RELOC ALONG N MAIN ST DESIGN (02187) Page 1 of 3
and Meacham Boulevard; New perimeter fence along North Main Street; and
. PROJECT III: Landscaping, Lighting and Signage - Landscaping and irrigation systems; New street
lighting; and New airport signage.
The original Agreement with Garver, LLC, did not include design of Oncor's Utility Relocation as it was
believed, at the time, that design would be completed by Oncor. It has since been determined that it
would be more time and cost efficient to have Garver, LLC, complete the design for this project. Garver,
LLC, has been tasked to complete engineering services for the design and construction of utility relocation
improvements along 8,000 Linear Feet (LF) of North Main Street (US 287) from NW 38th Street to the
airport entrance Gate 1, north of the airport fuel farm. The project will provide the following improvements
to the east side of Meacham Airport along North Main Street: relocation of above-ground electrical service
lines, relocation of Oncor service lines, relocation of utility conflicts caused by the relocation of these lines
including water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer lines. The project will require coordination with the Fort
Worth Transportation and Public Works Department, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway.
Because Oncor facilities and equipment located along North Main Street will be affected, an Agreement
needs to be initiated with Oncor for the coordination of all activities associated with the design and
relocation of their electric delivery lines and equipment in this area. Upon completion, Oncor will be paid
by the City for all of the costs associated with the relocation in an amount up to $1,115,200.00.
Upon approval of this Mayor and Council Communication, appropriations for the North Main Street
Improvements at Meacham Airport project will consist of the following:
North Main Street Design Agreement with Garver, LLC (M&C C-26550) $ 356,092.00
Garver, LLC Design of Oncor Utility Relocation $. 384,800.00
Utility Relocation Agreement with Oncor, LLC $1,115,200.00
Project Management. Administration and Related Expenses $ 50.000.00
Total Project Appropriations $1,906,092.00
M/WBE OFFICE - Garver, LLC, is in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by committing to 21
percent SBE participation on this project. The City's SBE goal on this project is 21 percent.
A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Department and
approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the M/WBE or BDE Ordinance, because the purchase
of goods or services from source(s) where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2, Mapsco 48P.
