6. Consider approval of an amended Fiscal Year 2018/2019 budget for the City of Bedford Street
Improvement Economic Development Corporation.
Public Works Director Kenny Overstreet presented information on this item.
Mr. Overstreet stated several projects were budgeted in FY 201712018 that were not completed before
the end of fiscal year, leaving the 4B budget with a high fund balance of $3,680,942, and requests
that the Board authorize payment for the following projects:
• Bedford Court East: Reliable Paving completed the project by December 2018; however, staff is
waiting for them to resolve two home-owner claims, prior to accepting the project as complete.
The amount outstanding for the construction is $115,494. 74.
• 2018 Concrete Contract: Reliable Paving has completed the sidewalk portion of the contract. Due
to multiple weather and scheduling delays, the concrete panels and ADA ramps have not been
completed yet. The remainder of the contract will not be completed until the summer, when the
weather is much warmer. The amount outstanding for this project is $390,210, which is
approximately $213,553.44 for work that is completed and $176,656.56 for the remainder of the
project. This will give staff funds necessary to complete concrete panel replacements with the
2019 Concrete Contract, since none were replaced with the 2018 Concrete Contract.
• Street Assessment: Fugro Roadware is compiling the final report for the street assessment. The
amount outstanding for the contract is $47,647.50.
• Pedestrian Crosswalks: Staff was unable to fund the pedestrian crosswalk project because no
contractor was available at the time to install in-lane lighting nor sell the products needed for
installation; however, staff requests authorization to spend the unused $120,000 in conjunction
with the amount budgeted for FY 2018/2019. This will provide total funding in the amount of
$240,000 for the installation of pedestrian crosswalks, where needed.
• Striping and Traffic Markings: All bids for the 2018 Pavement Markings contract were rejected last
year, so no paved striping occurred in FY 201712018; however, staff requests authorization to
spend the unused $120,000 in conjunction with the amount budgeted for FY 2018/2019. This will
provide total funding in the amount of $240,000 for the installation of striping and traffic markings.
There was discussion to not fund the pedestrian crosswalks, making the total requested amount
$811,742.
Motioned by Director Epstein, seconded by Director Boyter to approve authorizing the unspent
portions of the 4B Street Improvement Economic Development Corporation projects to be paid from
fund balances.
Motion passed 7-0-0. President Turner declared the motion carried.
7. Discussion on the Tarrant County 45th Community Development Block Grant.
Public Works Director Kenny Overstreet presented information on this item.
Mr. Overstreet stated every two years, the City of Bedford is eligible to pursue HUD funding through
the Tarrant County Community Development Division for qualifying areas in the City, Census qualified
areas must meet low to moderate income household criteria, and staff has determined Bedford Court
East, between Hurst City Limit and Brown Trail, meets the program criteria. There is the potential to
receive up to $155,000 for this project and applications are due on January 31, 2019.
Mr. Overstreet stated that the project would include the removal and replacement of existing
deteriorated asphalt pavement and replacing it with 6" concrete and 6" curbs on Bedford Court East,
beginning at the west side of Brown Trail and to the Hurst city limit. The project also includes the
removal and reconstruction of two valley gutters, one fire hydrant relocation, and adjusting sewer
manholes and water valves to the new street grade.
The Board approved moving this item forward for Council consideration at the January 22, 2019
regular meeting.
8. Staff report on the installation of the traffic signal at the intersection of Cheek Sparger Road
and Heritage Avenue.
Public Works Director Kenny Overstreet presented information on this item.
Mr. Overstreet stated that in the SIEDC Fiscal Year 2018/2019 approved budget, funds were allocated
for the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Cheek Sparger Road and Heritage Avenue.
The project will contain street markings to support the installed traffic signal. This project will be a joint
effort between Tarrant County and the cities of Colleyville, Euless, and Bedford, with each party
supplying a share of the total cost of installation.
Staff agreed to accept responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the traffic signal, given its
proximity to the Bedford traffic signal at Rio Grande. To support this request, the City of Bedford will
also maintain a portion of Cheek Sparger Road, approximately 50 feet east of Woodpark Lane to the
concrete pavement, and approximately 300 feet west of Woodpark Lane to Silverwood Lane.
The Board approved moving this item forward for Council consideration at the February 8, 2019
regular meeting.
9. Discussion and possible action on the removal of the barricade on Wood park Lane that closes
the road to through traffic between Cummings Drive and Cheek Sparger Road.
Public Works Director Kenny Overstreet presented information on this item.
Mr. Overstreet stated during the planning of the Walmart store along SH 121 and Cheek Sparger
Road, residents from the homes behind the site expressed concerns about increased traffic flow along
Woodpark Lane. It was decided to install a barricade across the roadway where it intersects the TXU
easement.
There was a consensus of the Board to leave the barricade, to move forward with the interlocal
agreement with plans to remove the barricade after the completion of the SH 121 construction and
hold public meetings with the neighbors.
10. Discussion and possible action on pedestrian crosswalks.
Public Works Director Kenny Overstreet presented information on this item.
Mr. Overstreet stated that in-lane lighting is no longer being used and cities are moving to other types
of crosswalk warnings. Pedestrian presence sensors are no longer recommended as blowing trash or
debris can cause the warning system to activate.
There was a consensus of the Board to have staff continue to research options and present
recommendations to the Board at a future meeting.

Staff Report
ITEM:
Consider approval authorizing the unspent portions of 4B Street Improvement
Economic Development Corporation projects to be paid from fund balance.
DISCUSSION:
The following 4B Street Improvement Economic Development Corporation (SIEDC) projects were
budgeted in FY 2017/2018 but were not completed before the fiscal year ended at September 30, 2018.
This left the 4B SIEDC fund with a significantly high fund balance of $3,680,942 to commence the new
budget cycle for FY 2018/2019. Since the City of Bedford does not typically encumber unspent
budgetary funds, staff is requesting authorization to pay for the following expenditures from the 4B
SIEDC fund balance:
• Bedford Court East: Reliable Paving completed the project by December 2018; however, staff
is waiting for them to resolve two home-owner claims, prior to accepting the project as
complete. The amount outstanding for the construction is $115,494.74.
• 2018 Concrete Contract: Reliable Paving has completed the sidewalk portion of the contract.
After multiple weather and scheduling delays, the concrete panels and ADA ramps have not
yet been completed. The remainder of the contract will not be completed until the summer,
when the weather is much warmer. The amount outstanding for this project is $390,210, which
is approximately $213,553.44 for work that is completed and $176,656.56 for the remainder of
the project. This will give staff funds necessary to complete concrete panel replacements with
the 2019 Concrete Contract since none were replaced with the 2018 Concrete Contract.
• Street Assessment: Fugro Roadware is compiling the final report for the street assessment.
The amount outstanding for the contract is $47,647.50.
• Pedestrian Crosswalks: Staff was unable to fund the pedestrian crosswalk project because
no contractor was available at the time to install in-lane lighting nor sell the products needed
for installation; however, staff requests authorization to spend the unused $120,000
expenditure to be spent in conjunction with the amount budgeted for FY 2018/2019. This will
provide total funding in the amount of $240,000 for the installation of pedestrian crosswalks,
where needed.
• Striping and Traffic Markings: All bids for the 2018 Pavement Markings contract were rejected
last year, so no paved striping occurred in FY 2017/2018. However, staff requests
authorization to spend the unused $120,000 expenditure in conjunction with the amount
budgeted for FY 2018/2019. This would equate to total funding in the amount of $240,000
for the installation of striping and traffic markings.
• In July 2018, staff estimated the cost of asphalt to be $429,500 under the Tarrant County
contract for the overlays. That cost was based on the amount of asphalt needed for Harwood
Road, Hospital Parkway and L. Don Dodson; however, the actual cost of materials for those
three projects is $567,900, which is an increase of $138,390. Staff is also requesting
authorization to cover this increase from fund balance.
The total amount requested to be spent from fund balance is $931,742.
Should the 4B SIEDC fund meet FY 2018/2019 budgetary expectations, plus the requested
authorizations, the ending fund balance would equal $2,111,810.

Staff Report
ITEM:
Discussion on the Tarrant County 45th Community Development Block Grant.
DISCUSSION:
Every two years, the City of Bedford is eligible to pursue HUD funding through Tarrant
County Community Development Division, (TCCD) for qualifying areas. Census qualified areas
must meet low to moderate income household criteria. City staff has determined that Bedford
Court East, between the Hurst city limit and Brown Trail, meets the program criteria. There is the
potential to receive up to $155,000 for this project. Applications are due on January 31, 2019.
The project would include the removal and replacement of existing deteriorated asphalt pavement
and replacing it with 6” concrete and 6” curbs on Bedford Court East, beginning at the west side of
Brown Tail and at the Hurst City Limit. The project also includes the removal and reconstruction of
two valley gutters, one fire hydrant relocation, and adjusting sewer manholes and water valves to the
new street grade.
With concurrence from the SIEDC, a public hearing would be conducted during the January 22, 2019
City Council Meeting. In order to make the application deadline, the public hearing was advertised in
the Star-Telegram on December 16, 2018, and on December 7, 2018 notices were mailed to twenty-
six residents within 200’ of the proposed work site. Submittal of the application will also require City
Council approval during the January 22, 2019 City Council Meeting.

Staff Report
ITEM:
Staff report on the status of the installation of the traffic signal at the intersection of Cheeksparger
Road and Heritage Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
In the SIEDC Fiscal Year 2018/2019 approved budget, funds were allocated for the installation of a
traffic signal at the intersection of Cheeksparger Road and Heritage Avenue. The project will also
contain street markings to support the installed traffic signal. This project will be a joint effort
between Tarrant County and the cities of Colleyville, Euless and Bedford with each party supplying
a share of the total cost of installation.
Staff has agreed to accept responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the traffic signal.
This makes sense given its proximity to the Bedford traffic signal at Rio Grande. To support this
request, the City of Bedford will also maintain a portion of Cheeksparger Road, approximately 50
feet east of Woodpark Lane to the concrete pavement, and approximately 300 feet west of
Woodpark Lane to Silverwood Lane.
Staff is currently working on an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the three cities outlining each
City’s responsibility towards the project. After completion of the ILA, each City will present it to
their City Council for consideration.

Staff Report
ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on the removal of the barricade on Woodpark Lane that closes the
road to through traffic between Cummings Drive and Cheeksparger Road.
DISCUSSION:
During the planning of the Walmart store along SH 121 and Cheeksparger Road, residents from the
homes behind the site expressed concerns about increased traffic flow along Woodpark Lane. It
was decided to install a barricade across the roadway where it intersects the TXU easement.
Staff would like to hold a discussion on potentially removing the barricades to open the roadway
for through traffic between Cheeksparger Road and Cummings Drive.

Staff Report
ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on Pedestrian Crosswalks.
DISCUSSION:
In Fiscal Year 2016/2017, Public Works installed wired in-lane lighting for the crosswalks on
Cummings Drive and Murphy Drive. Since installation, there have been multiple maintenance
issues with the system. It is also difficult to get the replacement parts to make repairs.
When staff began searching for a contractor to install the budgeted pedestrian crosswalks last
fiscal year, it was found that most contractors would not install the in-lane lighting and the few that
were willing charged more than the budget would support.
Staff then began investigating various options and potential vendors for pedestrian crosswalks.
Three different variations where found:
• In-lane lighting, similar to the ones installed on Cummings Drive and Murphy Drive. The
type that are installed at the above locations are hardwired. If the City continues with the in-
lane lighting, staff recommends installing wireless modules instead of hardwired modules.
• Advanced warning beacons, which are installed at the pedestrian crossing on Central Drive,
north of Harwood Road.
• Overhead yellow warning beacons over the roadway, much like what is found at the
beginning of school zones.
While completing research, it was found that most cities have stopped installing the in-lane
lighting. They are continuing to maintain systems that have already been installed, but are moving
to other types of crosswalk warnings. It was also found that the pedestrian presence sensor is no
longer recommended since items, such as blowing trash or debris, can cause the warning system
to activate.
Staff is seeking guidance from the Street Improvement Economic Development Corporation
(SIEDC) members on how to proceed with the pedestrian crosswalks for future installations.
