FUNDING SOURCE: Funds for the construction of the trail will come from the unencumbered balance of the Quality of Life Fund. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Over the past several years, residents in the Western Oaks and Belfort subdivisions have requested a safe access to the Big Bear Creek Hike & Bike Trail. Since the hike and bike trail is located on the north side of the creek and the subdivisions on the south side, there is no safe way to access the trail. Initially, staff was looking at a trail linkage from Heritage Drive north and installing a pedestrian bridge across Big Bear Creek to the trail. However, one of the consulting firms interviewed for the design recommended (as a way to reduce the cost) using a part of the edge of the service road along William D. Tate Avenue to link up with the trail on the north side of the creek. Initially, Council approved $277,000, to TXDOT for the Advance Funding Agreement. TxDOT is managing the bidding and construction of the trail and the final bid that came in required an additional $80,535 commitment from the City. However, at that time the plans were in flux and we looked for a less-expensive option for making this connection. - Funding Allocated thus far: o $277,000 — advanced funding 10:18:25 AM 8/28/2014 - New funding required: o $80,535 The additional amount is required due to the final design of the project, material cost, labor cost and TxDOT safety requirements have all risen and/or changed since the original estimate in 2012. Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
