DATE: Tuesday, November 03, 2015 REFERENCE NO.: **G-18597
LOG NAME: 06TRINITY RIVER VISION TRANSFER OF FUNDS
SUBJECT:
Authorize Transfer of Funds in the Amount of$485,358.38 Among Various Accounts and Adopt
Appropriation Ordinance to Make Technical Corrections Related to the Trinity River Vision Bridge Projects,
Consistent with the City's Limitation of$26.6 Million on Expenditures for the Trinity River Vision (COUNCIL
DISTRICTS 2 and 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize a transfer of funds in the amount of$485,358.38 from the Arterials Reserve Project to the
Henderson Street Improvements Project in the Street Improvement Fund for the 2004 Bond Program
(C200);
2. Authorize a transfer in the amount of$485,358.38 from the Street Improvement Fund for the 2004
Bond Program (C200) to the Street Improvement 2008 Fund for the 2008 Bond Program (C204); and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Street Improvement 2008 Fund in the amount of$485,358.38.
DISCUSSION:
On December 15, 2009, the City Council approved an Engineering Services Agreement with Freese and
Nichols, Inc. (FNI), in the amount of$3,764,201.00. The Agreement authorized FNI to provide final design
phase services and limited construction administration services for the Henderson, North Main and White
Settlement bridges in conjunction with the Trinity River Vision Central City Project. Funding for that
Agreement came from both the 2004 and 2008 Capital Improvement Programs in the amounts of
$2,200,000.00 (C200) and $1,564,201.00 (C204) respectively.
Prior to incurring expenses, Staff prepared a Purchase Order (PO-10-00059842) in the Buy Speed Online
system (BSO) which, at the time, was using top line accounting methods. When engineering services
invoices 1 through 6 from FNI were processed in the BSO system, the expenditures were split by the
system resulting in excess expenditures being applied to the Street Improvement 2008 Fund (C204) in the
amount of$485,358.38 in lieu of the 2004 Street Improvement Fund (C200) where they should have been
applied. Staff has since changed the BSO accounting methodology and subsequent engineering services
invoices have been properly posted in the two funds.
The improper posting of the expenditures outlined above in the amount of$485,358.38 to the Street
Improvement 2008 Fund has resulted in a negative balance in that fund. Staff is requesting authorization
to transfer funds in an amount of$485,358.38 from the Arterials Reserve Project to the Henderson Street
Improvement Project in the 2004 Street Improvement Fund (C200). Staff is also requesting authorization
to transfer the same amount of funds from the 2004 Street Improvement Fund (C200) to the Street

Improvement 2008 Fund (C204) to clear the negative balance and allow for the payment of other pending
project charges.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that, upon the approval of the above
recommendations, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, in the Street
Improvement 2008 Fund.
