RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Park and Recreation Improvement Projects Fund by $34,708 00 from available funds, and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a change order with M A. Vinson Construction Company
(City Secretary Contract No 25698) in the amount of $26,906 00 for the repair and realignment of
sections of the Hike/Bike Trail at Gateway Park.
DISCUSSION
The 1998 Capital Improvement Program allocated $505,000 00 for replacement of deteriorated walks
and trails at seven park sites and along selected areas of the bike trail on the Clearfork of Trinity River
On February 2, 1999 (M&C C-17259), the City Council approved an award of contract for design
services to Transystem Corporation in the amount of $65,425 00 for the design of walks and trails at the
various park sites.
On March 7, 2000 (M&C C-17906), City Council approved an award of contract for walks and trails
construction to M A. Vinson Construction Company in the amount of $401,473 84 Construction
commenced in June, 2000 and all work was completed in late Spring 2001
During the Spring of 2001, rainfall resulted in substantial erosion to the Trinity River bank adjacent to
Gateway Park. As a result of this unforeseen occurrence, the riverbank has eroded up to the edge of
the existing hike/bike trail, rendering the trail unusable while creating a potential public hazard and
requiring closure of the trail
In June 2001, the Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) staff met onsite with the
contractor and determined a solution, which calls for the removal of approximately 420 feet of existing
trail and the realignment and installation of approximately 685-feet by 8-feet of concrete trail
PACSD staff determined that a change order to the existing contract would be the most expeditious
method for repair and reuse of the Hike/Bike Trail by the public. The project will be field staked in
conjunction with the contractor in order to avoid design and engineering fees
The amount of $26,906 00 as submitted by M A. Vinson Construction Company and an additional
twenty working days required to perform the work is acceptable to the PACSD
