RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
Find that material changes in conditions have rendered use of the 1986 Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) funds designated for the development of the Botanic Garden Demonstration Garden
as imprudent; and
2. Authorize reprogramming of the remaining funds from the 1986 CIP - Botanic Garden
Demonstration Gardens, in the amount of $280,049, to the 1998 CIP -Botanic Garden Greenhouse
Development project; and
3 Authorize the use of $250,000 from the Botanic Garden Parking Lot Lease Revenue Account for
use in the Botanic Garden Greenhouse Development project; and
4 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Special Trust Fund in the amount of $250,000 from available funds, and
5 Authorize the City Manager to execute a design contract with BSGS Batenhorst, Inc. in the amount
of $74,750 for site master planning of the greenhouse facility area, and design and preparation of
construction documents for Phase I development.
DISCUSSION
The 1998 CIP allocated $300,000 for the development of production greenhouses at the Botanic
Garden Additionally, the 1986 CIP allocated $350,000 for the master planning and development of a
demonstration garden in the vicinity of the existing production greenhouses
On December 19, 1989 (M&C C-12056), the City Council approved award of design services to Elbert
R. Spence, Architect/Landscape Architect in the amount of $55,230 for the master plan design for the
Demonstration Garden project. The $2.3 million estimated cost of completing the Botanic Garden
Demonstration Garden today exceeds the amount allocated in the 1986 CIP Due to a lack of funding to
complete this project, it is not prudent to proceed with the Demonstration Garden project as anticipated
in the 1986 bond package

FACILITIES AT THE BOTANIC GARDEN
With the proposed reprogramming of the remaining $280,049 (less design, engineering and project
management fees) from the 1986 CIP Demonstration Garden project, coupled with the $300,000
allocated for the 1998 CIP -Botanic Garden Greenhouse project and the allocation of $250,000 from
lease revenue receipts, a total project budget of $830,049 exists The Parks and Community Service
Department (PACSD) will be able to design and construct production greenhouses used for plant
material propagation, collection of rare and unusual plants for public display, and plant species
collection Additionally, the proposed facility will provide educational facilities for the public to
experience hands-on demonstrations related to greenhouse operations and plant propagation and
maintenance, as well as providing facilities for the volunteer labor force used in annual color production
The proposed facility will consist of two greenhouse structures, a plant shade area structure, a small
visitor area for training and education purposes, a staff administrative area, restroom facilities and
associated site improvements
The production greenhouses will be relocated to the southwest corner of the Botanic Garden grounds,
which will require using the eastern portion of the existing parking facility currently under lease from .the
City to Mid-Western Development and Realty Company for Lockheed Martin employee parking The
facility will be accessed off the westbound IH-30 frontage road west of University Drive The relocation
of these facilities is in conformance with the Botanic Garden Master Plan Additionally, reprogramming
of Demonstration Garden funds for the relocation and development of the production greenhouses will
enable accomplishment of a major component of the overall Demonstration Garden project scope
In addition to basic design services, the architect will prepare a master development plan for future
greenhouse facility improvements, prepare detailed cost estimates, perform boundary and topographic
surveys, prepare construction documents and specifications for furnishings, and assist the City in
review of product submittal and resolution of construction quality control issues.
GSBS Batenhorst, Inc of Fort Worth is being recommended by Botanic Garden staff as the project
consultant due to its expertise and background in the area of greenhouse production design
Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW), Architectural Services staff concurred with
PACSD's recommendation after reviewing the qualifications of architects requesting to be considered
for City projects
The Fort Worth Garden Club and the Fort Worth Botanical Society have endorsed the reprogramming
of Demonstration Garden funds for this project.
