DISCUSSION
In 1999, the operators of the Modern Art Museum began construction on a new facility and notified the
City of their intent to terminate their lease with the City in 2002. The Fort Worth Arts Center, which
currently houses the Modern Art Museum and the Scott Theater, is owned by the City of Fort Worth and
has been leased to the Fort Worth Art Association for the Modern Art Museum and the Scott Theater
since 1971
With museum renovations and expansions in the Cultural District, it became apparent that there is an
opportunity for reuse of the Fort Worth Arts Center Therefore, in January 2000, Mayor Barr appointed
a committee of City Councilmembers, arts and community leaders to look at the existing City-owned
facility and make recommendations for its future use
The committee determined that it was necessary to engage a consultant to look at community needs
and the City's options for reuse As a result, the City Council authorized issuance of a Request for
Proposals for consultant services for the feasibility study in August 2000
Two proposals were received September 25, 2000, and reviewed by the Adaptive Reuse Committee,
which recommended approval of the proposal submitted by Herbert Sprouse Consulting
The consultant will conduct six major tasks as follows
s~
Task 1 -Collect pertinent information including direct interviews, direct survey research and public
forums,
Task 2 -Evaluate the building for possible uses and major constraints,
Task 3 -Develop case studies to illustrate potential model facilities,
Task 4 -Recommend programmatic use and identify users,
Task 5 -Identify sources of funding for programs and operations, and
Task 6 - Recommend a management structure
