In November 1998, actual construction began under the management of TxDOT The general
contractor, Linder-Stahl Construction Company, Inc. of Fort Worth, began the clearing and construction
of this 3 5 mile bike trail During the initial phase of construction it was discovered that quantities were
underestimated for vegetation and tree removal because an actual tree count was not performed during
the engineering phase, and because of special requirements to construct the improvements Additional
contractor costs to perform the necessary clearing is $190,850 00 The addition of TxDOT's
Engineering and Contingencies (9 5%) and TxDOT's Indirect Cost (9%) brings the total amendment
cost to $227,789 00
The revised project cost exceeds the amended Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) authorization
of $1,032,899 17 by $227,789 00 The MPO has agreed to increase the authorization of CMAQ funds
and modify the Transportation and Improvement Program The following outlines the total local share
for this project after the above proposed additions
