FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2020
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF DESIGN CONTRACT FOR COTTON BELT SECTION 1
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval of a contract for design of Cotton Belt
Trail Section 1 to Huitt-Zollars, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $172,794.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funding is available in the Quality of Life Fund 121 for an amount not to
exceed $340,000.
BACKGROUND: On December 17, 2019, the North Central Texas Council of Governments
(NCTCOG) issued a call for projects for the Transportation Alternatives
Set -Aside Program. Projects eligible for this program include on and off
road pedestrian and bicycle facilities. A local match of at least 20% is
required for all project submittals. Project applications were due to
NCTCOG by Friday, March 1, 2019.
On February 19, 2019, City Council approved a resolution authorizing the
City Manager to submit the Cotton Belt Trail Corridor project and
appropriated funds in the amount of $1,020,000. This amount includes
$680,000 for the local 20% match and $340,000 for design and
construction contingencies above the required local match.
The Cotton Belt Trail Project consists of two sections.Cotton Belt Trail
Section 1 (CBT1), which is 0.25 miles in length, follows the TEXRail line
from Texan Trail east to the future DFW Cotton Belt Through Station.ln
this section, Grapevine would be responsible for design, environmental
clearance, and construction costs.
Cotton Belt Trail Section 2 (CBT2), which is 1.86 miles in length, is along
the DART Cotton Belt rail line as shown in the attachment. Grapevine
would only be responsible for the construction costs of this section of trail
as the design and environmental clearances have been secured by
DART. Staff expects that, if awarded, this segment of the project funding
would be assigned directly to DART by the NCTCOG and constructed by
DART.
Huitt-Zollars, Inc. completed the grant application for the City in the
amount of $14,930 and has submitted a proposal for engineering design in
the amount of $172,794 to include the design, surveying and
environmental clearance for Cotton Belt Trail Section 1. The project
consists of designing and developing plans, specifications, proposal
documents, and estimates for the construction of approximately 0.25 miles
of the Cotton Belt Trail as shown in the attachment.
The $14,930 for the grant application and the $172,794 for design are
within the $340,000 appropriated for design and construction
contingencies.
Staff recommends approval.
